The ambitious space exploration title allows players to travel to and discover near-infinite worlds on your journey to the centre of the universe, mapping out planets as you go. It is a gigantic game to explore with a massive 18-quintillion planets to discover. Players won\u2019t explore the galaxy alone. They\u2019ll be making their way to the centre of the universe along with tons of other pilots via the game&#8217;s multiplayer component.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re the first pilot to a planet, you can &#8220;tag&#8221; it with your official colonisation flag and be\u00a0forever immortalised as the person to found it. Each planet has tons of plant and wild life, both friendly and hostile, and you\u2019ll need to fight in order to continue your adventure. Pilots will be fighting both on land and in the sky. Planet side, players will have to use guns to take down hostile wild life and deadly robots. In space, pilots will take part in epic space battles.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"No Man\u2019s Sky - FIGHT Video | PS4\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4dOk2uBTYAE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Brutal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>9 August 2016 (PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Brutal\u00a0re-imagines classic ASCII dungeon crawlers with 3D visuals but keeping the same old-school gaming feel. Players will choose their heroes from four classes: Ranger, Mage, Warrior or Amazon.\u00a0Once you\u2019ve chosen your hero, you\u2019ll be tasked with clearing twenty-six floors in a procedurally generated world. At the top you\u2019ll have to best the terrible Guardian of the Dungeon to reign supreme. You can also try to reach the top with a trusted friend thanks to the game\u2019s local co-op.<\/p>\n<p>The game allows players to craft weapons, enchant them, brew potions, and forge talismans. Weapon crafting and enchantment is done through careful working of ASCII characters, and potions are always a mystery because players won\u2019t know their effects until they use them.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hGxsuo6kUVg<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">More game releases this week:<\/h3>\n<p><a
