What to play in November: 6 sequels for every taste

Football Manager 2017

Date of release: November 4, 2016.

Platforms: PC, Mac.

The Football Manager series has continued to grow over the years with small changes and innovations. Any other game this approach would have inevitably led to collapse, but not the product of Sports Interactive: the series has successfully outlived all its competitors, including FIFA Manager from Electronic Arts.

The new part of Football Manager will once again receive updated lineups for all teams and improved game mechanics. The developers have made significant progress in simulating real results, so their project is the most realistic reflection of the situation in modern football. For many years now, special attention has been paid to the visual component, so virtual matches should become even better and more realistic.

In general, you should not expect a revelation from Football Manager 2017: the game will become another round of development and improvement of old ideas that still appeal to fans of football managers.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Date of release: November 4, 2016.

Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One.

The Call of Duty series doesn't even think about giving up and passing to Battlefield. However, if the latter returned to the past, during the First World War, then Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will take players to the distant future. To get acquainted with the mechanics and features of the game, a single player campaign is available, and a real test of your skills can be arranged in the multiplayer mode.

At the service of players, the new Call of Duty provides many customizable weapons and the same modifiable armor, more precisely, a full-fledged combat suit. With six classes of fighters and a variety of vehicles, including robots, available, the outlook for Titanfall 2, released in October, is even more ghostly.

Buyers of the most expensive versions of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will receive a re-release of Call of Duty 4: Moder Warfare with the game - the updated version will receive the story campaign already known to many players, as well as 16 maps for multiplayer battles.

Dishonored 2

Date of release: November 11, 2016.

Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One.

The sequel to the original stealth action game Dishonored has been long awaited, and the developers have been struggling to release it. The reward for the players for the painful waiting should be an extremely interesting game in a familiar world and with beloved characters, of whom there will be two in the second part. You will have to play both for the already well-known Corvo Attano, and for Emily Kaldwin, whom Attano saved 15 years ago.

The action of Dishonored 2 will unfold not only after a decade and a half, but also in another place - the sunny region of Karnak. You can choose a character only once at the beginning of the game. The style of passing will also depend on this, because Corvo and Emily have completely different sets of skills. Given the variability of the passage of missions in the original game, it remains only to anticipate what surprises the developers have prepared for two different characters in the sequel.

The gloomy action in Dishonored 2, judging by the screenshots and videos, will be accompanied by a beautiful picture and picturesque locations. Thus, they really expect a lot from the game, but we will be able to find out how the developers managed to meet the established bar already on November 11.

Watch dogs 2

Date of release: November 15, 2016.

Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One.

The original Watch Dogs had a lot of difficulties: they tried to compare the game with the Assassin's Creed series, carried over to our days, and even with GTA. Comparison with the latter made the action's position about hackers extremely difficult. Nevertheless, the game managed to gain a certain share of popularity and in the bowels of Ubisoft it was decided to release a sequel. In place of gloomy Chicago, sunny San Francisco will come, and the depressive Aiden Pearce will be replaced by the positive black hacker Marcus Holloway.

The gameplay in Watch Dogs 2 will delight users with numerous innovations. Now it will be possible to pass the game without firing a single shot, using a smartphone, with which the main character is able to hack anything. In addition, drones on wheels and quadrocopters have found active use in the game - in a word, it is quite a modern world, burdened by the influence of a single operating system, thanks to which absolutely all devices and even city infrastructure function.

Given the lack of serious open world competitors coming out in the near future, Watch Dogs 2 has every chance of attracting an audience that the first part could not be interested in. Fortunately, the developers seem to have accounted for their mistakes and worked on the bugs. And the game also has multiplayer, but its popularity and relevance can only be judged after the game is released.

Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection

Date of release: November 17, 2016.

Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One.

The very first part of Assassin's Creed was an interesting and unusual game in its own way, but it was the trilogy dedicated to the assassin named Ezio Auditore that brought the real popularity of the series. This year Ubisoft decided not to release a sequel, but to re-release the classic trilogy for modern platforms. The collection Assassin's Creed: Ezio Auditore. Collection”includes: Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, as well as all the official additions to them.

The re-release of the trilogy will allow PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners to experience Ezio's story for the first time, or replay it. In addition, the collection will receive updated graphics, which, although it looks better than in the original games, still falls short of the modern standards of the series. In addition, buyers will receive two short films about little-known fragments of the famous assassin's history.
