Best Releases in February 2024

It seems like one of the absolute biggest highlights of last month (and maybe even the year, at this point!) has been HELLDIVERS 2. This online co-op third-person shooter took the world by storm, surprising everyone, even the developers themselves! In it, players will enlist in the Helldivers to help fight for freedom all across a hostile galaxy... which is just a lot of words for players will get to gun down all sorts of alien enemies with their friends!

The Persona games has been one of the most beloved franchises for many years now, but every great series begins somewhere. Well, Persona 3 was one of the most beloved titles, which is why ATLUS and SEGA have reimagined it, capturing all that made it such an outstanding entry and making it even better by polishing everything from graphics to gameplay.

If you've never played a Persona game, this is a great option to start off with, as it has already reached Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam, with 97% of the reviews praising the latest title. An emotional and gripping story await anyone who steps in... just be warned: it's easy to fall in love with the franchise!

If a great narrative is what you're looking for, then look no further than DON'T NOD's latest story-driven title. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden puts players in the shoes of Red mac Raith and Antea Duarte, two ghost hunters (named banishers in-game) who end up in an emotional predicament when the latter perishes during a job, and the former has to make a difficult decision: does he revive her or help her move on?

Praised for its fluid combat, narrative, and great mechanics, this cinematic experience is one for any gamer looking to become immersed in an emotional journey chock-full of hard choices and epic battles. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden reached Very Positive with 86% reviews recommending it on Steam, which is no surprise! Find out why our writer agrees with the hype in her hands-on impressions here!

What happens when the heroes of a world become overtaken and turn to the dark side? A question that Rocksteady Studios and Warner Bros. Games explored in their latest title, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The answer? You'll need to rely on the villains to keep the world afloat.

This interesting twist allows us all to play as the unhinged and beloved characters who torment the heroes on a daily basis: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark! So, if you're looking to spend some time finding balance in the chaos, check out this Mostly Positive title, which receives 78% recommended reviews on Steam!

As Persona 3 Reload proved, however, not all the best releases are bright and shiny new games! The latest entry to the Tomb Raider franchise isn't a new journey but instead a revisiting of some of the most beloved entries. So if you haven't gotten to experience Tomb Raider I–III, consider checking out the remasters, which bring all the original charm of the games with some upgrades to keep new and old fans happy! You can check out what our writer thought about the remasters here in his hands-on impressions! 

And last but not at all least, Last Epoch also received some massive attention. This action-packed title already has 70,878 at the time of writing, with 76% of the reviews being positive, and it's no surprise, thanks to the 15 mastery classes, tons of dungeons to explore, and a myriad of legendary loot items to get!
