Best games you can play this week – Hairstyles and hammers

July 10, 2017

This week sees the return of an RPG veteran, a South African-developed VR title, and some more great gaming adventures.

Here’s our picks of the games releasing 10-14 July 2017.

Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age

Release date: 11 July 2017 (PS4)

Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age is a remaster of 2006’s Final Fantasy 12, albeit with a few tweaks and changes. The PS4 edition of the game will feature the beloved RPG mechanics of the original, but will also include the International Zodiac Job system that was part of the Japan version of the PS2 title.

The job system allows a user to assign a role to a character, which provides them with unique skills and stat growth opportunities.

Gorn (Steam Early Access)

Release date: 10 July (PC)

South African-developed first-person combat game, Gorn, arrives on Steam’s Early Access this week.

The bombastic melee battle title comes from the team who made the critically-acclaimed BroForce, and utilises VR in an interesting way.

The game features a unique, fully physics driven combat engine, that allows you to savagely strike down an infinite supply of poorly-animated opponents with all manner of weapons – from swords, maces, and bows to nunchuks, throwing knives, massive two-handed warhammers or even your blood-soaked bare hands.
