It\u2019s a ridiculously cool idea, regardless of the (apparently) poor execution.<\/p>\n<p>It might not be worth paying full price for but if you sell <i>Watch Dogs<\/i>, it won\u2019t set you back too much.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Child of Light<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qzS6klLz81w\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a nice change of pace: a side-scrolling RPG about a princess.

The game is released in \u201d\u02dcepisodes\u2019, with Episode 4 (the penultimate episode) expected in July &#8211; plenty of time to play through the (critically acclaimed) episodes so far!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes<\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v5RLnFhSRpc\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>MGS <\/i>shares <i>Watch Dogs<\/i> focus on stealth and technology, albeit with a much heavier focus on the former.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect too much game though: <i>Ground Zeroes<\/i> is a \u201d\u02dctaster\u2019 of next year\u2019s <i>The Phantom Pain<\/i> and is very, very short.
