A must-play for first-person shooter fans.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Launch Trailer \u2013 Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H561RVqNy4s?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<h3 class=\"my-4\">Lego Marvel Superheroes 2<\/h3>\n<p>Available on:\u00a0Xbox One | PS4 | PC | Switch<\/p>\n<p>The Lego games are always fantastic, and the latest sequel to 2013&#8217;s Lego Marvel Superheroes spin-off, is no exception. The sequel expands upon the previous game with a new open world, new characters, and scenarios and influences from recent Marvel movies over the past few years, but still maintains the winning-formula of the franchise\u00a0\u2014 jumping, smashing blocks, solving puzzles, and beating up baddies.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve played previous Lego games, you know what you&#8217;re getting here\u00a0\u2014 there&#8217;s nothing fundamentally\u00a0different. But Marvel and Lego fans alike will find a lot of pleasing fan-fare with Lego Marvel Superheroes 2.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 | Chronopolis Trailer | PS4\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9DSswDg9Xrk?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<h3 class=\"my-4\">Hidden Agenda<\/h3>\n<p>Available on:\u00a0PS4<\/p>\n<p>Hidden Agenda is an intriguing concept that flips the often colourful, simplistic party game format on its head, turning into a competitive, dark murder-case of deceit and manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>Players connect to the PS4 using their smartphones and the accompanying PlayLink app, and play through a narrative-driven game not unlike that of Until Dawn or Heavy Rain; but the catch is that each player can steer the story to his or her agenda, hence the name.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s one of (if not the) most original games to come out in 2017, and a perfect title to sit down and enjoy with a non-gamer or hardcore gaming enthusiast. It&#8217;s a little short, but a great taste of what can be achieved using PlayLink.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hidden Agenda | E3 2017 Reveal | PS4\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yhUWf0aQ_s8?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<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Article courtesy of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/games\/review-roundup-wolfenstein-ii-lego-marvel-superheroes-hidden-agenda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"canonical noopener\">MenStuff.co.za<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Now read:\u00a0<a title=\"Permalink to 10 games we cannot wait to play in 2018\" href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/122327-10-games-we-cannot-wait-to-play-in-2018.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">10 games we cannot wait to play in 2018<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nazi-robots, spandex-clad blocks, &#038; sneaky suspicions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":122759,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,3,11681,4],"tags":[25549,1445,25363,4083,3273,24890,24661],"class_list":["post-122755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nintendo","category-pc","category-playstation","category-xbox","tag-hidden-agenda","tag-lego","tag-lego-marvel-superheroes","tag-marvel","tag-wolfenstein","tag-wolfenstein-ii","tag-wolfenstein-ii-the-new-colossus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122755","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=122755"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122755\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
