Here are our picks for the games releasing 6-12 February 2017:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Nioh<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>9 February\u00a02017\u00a0(PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Team Ninja&#8217;s ghostly game about a cursed samurai (who looks an awful lot like a certain Witcher you might know) is very much a Dark Souls clone, but it&#8217;s got a lot going for it that has us excited.<\/p>\n<p>The emphasis of Nioh is on fighting styles and combat strategy, allowing you to alter your stance when attacking enemies, with each stance having pros and cons to it. However, the lead character William is also an elusive fellow and players will need to use his speed and dodging ability to outwit bigger foes. It looks to be an interesting title that will punish you for daydreaming but reward you for perseverance.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nioh | Extended Tokyo Game Show Trailer | PS4\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WsXnJUP99jc?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>John Wick Chronicles<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>9 February\u00a02017\u00a0(PC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you own a VR headset (and feel like shooting some virtual henchmen), you&#8217;ll be glad to know that\u00a0John Wick Chronicles is releasing on Steam VR this week.<\/p>\n<p>The game is an immersive first-person shooter built from the ground up for virtual reality. It throws you into the assassin-packed world of John Wick, and lets you take on the role of Keanu Reeves&#8217; undeniably badass killer. Players have the chance to explore the iconic Continental Hotel and are tasked with assassinating seemingly impossible targets that only John Wick himself could handle.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"John Wick Chronicles: An Eye for an Eye at New York Comic Con 2016\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SPE7d_MHXfQ?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 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>More games releasing this week:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/75670-games-you-can-play-this-week-contract-killing-and-careless-carnage.html\/attachment\/pc-platform-tag-2#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-75676\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75676 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PC-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">John Wick Chronicles<br \/>\nQuarantine<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/xbox-one-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60361\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60361\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Xbox-One-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">How to Survive 2<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/ps4-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60358\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60358\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/PS4-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">How to Survive 2<br \/>\nNioh<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Article\u00a0courtesy of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/games\/game-releases-6-12-february-2017\/\">MenStuff.co.za<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Now read:\u00a0<a title=\"Permalink to How to use a PSVR headset with your gaming PC\" href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/115147-how-to-use-a-psvr-headset-with-your-gaming-pc.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">How to use a PSVR headset with your gaming PC<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We take a look at the video games you can play in SA this week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":88233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11681,4],"tags":[4552,23929,23981,23983,15896],"class_list":["post-115179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","category-playstation","category-xbox","tag-game-releases","tag-how-to-survive-2","tag-john-wick","tag-john-wick-chronicles","tag-nioh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115179"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115179\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":115183,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115179\/revisions\/115183"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
