A remake ofPersona 4, a game where the player character has traditionally lacked strong emotional depth or dialogue, could offer Atlus the perfect opportunity to pivot....

The classic 2006 RPG is still viewed as among Bethesda Game Studio’s most important projects, sitting comfortably alongside other influential, innovative releases likeFallout 3. Assuming thisOblivionre-release goes over well, thenFallout 3just might be the next best candidate for the remaster-slash-remake treatment. Much likeOblivion,Fallout 3is a product of its time.

Summary When a horror game offersmultiple endings, it encourages players to think a little more about how they play, considering a lot of these final scenes can only be seen by meeting certain conditions within the game itself.
