OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO

he most enduring quality of entertainment is its ability to transport
you to different places. For gamers,
that's especially true because we get to play
in those places rather than just read about
them or watch them on a screen.
Taking a look at this issue, I reflected upon
the many diverse places the games featured
took me.
Destiny 2 has already landed and, as you
can see by our review, it's bigger, bolder and
better than the original. Designed for online
cooperative and competitive play, somehow
the game still managed to incorporate an
interesting story to draw players in and keep
them engaged.
From (comparatively) intimate moments
to massive raids, Destiny 2 transports players
to other worlds for an epic adventure both
alone and with our friends online.
Our other reviewed game, NHL 18, takes
players on a completely different sort of journey, where players can imagine themselves
as part of a professional hockey team, leading
it to a glorious championship.
On the preview side we have two very different takes on World War II. Call of Duty: WWII
brings players back to the era that launched
this venerable series, while Wolfenstein II:
The New Colossus imagines a world where
the Germans won the war and what it's like

surviving in the aftermath.
These two games show how a single germ
of an idea can be treated so differently. Call
of Duty pays attention to historical accuracy
(at least outside of Zombies Mode), while
Wolfenstein presents a fantastical world
where things have gone awry but might be
fixed with bravery and determination.
Then there's Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra
Moon, games that completely leave any
semblance of reality for a rich world dripping
in fantasy. With each new iteration, the Pokémon franchise manages to outdo itself with
more creative creatures for players to collect
and battle, as well as exotic locales to explore
and an interesting story to tie it all together.
And finally there is Sonic Forces, which
looks like a triumphant return for everyone's
favorite Blue Blur; it's a colorful adventure for
fans of all ages.
This is just a small portion of the great
games coming this holiday season. No
matter what sort of games you like, there's
sure to be something new for you. So
check out this month's free print and digital
editions of Walmart GameCenter magazine
and we will keep you at the center of
everything gaming.
