It feels like just yesterday we were in the middle of the fall release calendar, being bombarded with a new blockbuster or indie hit every other day. November slows things down a bit, but it’s not quite a backlog month yet. A new one Mario & Luigi, Flight simulatorand the Lego game headline a month of things hitting the market just before the holiday rush.
We got originally Assassin’s Creed Shadows in November, one last major role-playing game for fans to delve into before the year-end slump. Instead, Ubisoft put this to the test in February Dragon Age: The Veil Guardian, Metaphor: Rethinkingand people who are somehow still not finished Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth (that’s me!) a much-needed reprieve.
Instead, this month we’re going energetically into family gaming mode. In addition to a light Mario Bros. Adventure and Microsoft’s “sorry, dad is in the garage in the middle of a transatlantic flight” simulator, we also get one Lego horizon Zero dawn adaptation and TMNT brawler just in time to keep all the cousins busy after the Thanksgiving buffet. Here are 19 games we’re watching out for this November.
