This year’s Gamescom featured hundreds of upcoming releases of all shapes and sizes. These are the best ones we played during the show.
We may not have had E3 this year, but this summer didn’t go by without a big gaming expo filled with reveals. Gamescom returned as a live show this year, bringing a whole host of announcements via Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live show and a convention center full of playable demos. Digital Trends flew out to Cologne, Germany, this year to go hands-on with some upcoming releases and speak with the creators behind them.
Our excitement for it only grew when getting more information from Unknown Worlds about the game. The developers filled us in on some exciting details, discussing how Mistborn author Brandon Sanderson helped craft a rich story that the game will tell over the course of years – both in-game and via a full episodic audio drama podcast.
Dead Island 2 impressed us with its procedural flesh system that lets players target parts of a zombie’s body and carve them off in a grotesquely satisfying fashion. That’s paired with in-depth first-person melee combat that actually lets players take advantage of that gorey system. As soon as I poked a zombie’s leg off with a pitchfork, I was sold.
One Piece Odyssey One Piece Odyssey - Announcement Trailer Despite never having watched the anime or read the manga it’s based on, One Piece Odyssey won me over at the show. I feared that the project could be a low-effort cash-grab, but I was happy to be wrong about that. It contains clever RPG systems that push players to make smart decisions on each and every turn.
