00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:03.420
- Hey, it's Jen.

3
00:00:03.420 --> 00:00:05.490
Welcome to Kotaku's Week in Games.

4
00:00:05.490 --> 00:00:08.033
Here are our picks for what
to check out this week.

5
00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:11.880
The 1995 first-person
shooter classic returns

6
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.490
with the "Star Wars:
Dark Forces Remaster".

7
00:00:14.490 --> 00:00:16.725
You play as Kyle Katarn,
an Imperial defector

8
00:00:16.725 --> 00:00:20.377
who joins up with the Rebel
Alliance's Covert Ops division.

9
00:00:20.377 --> 00:00:22.800
"Dark Forces" is coming to
us from Nightdive Studios,

10
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.677
who recently remastered Turok 3

11
00:00:24.677 --> 00:00:27.153
and developed the remake of System Shock.

12
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:29.700
Speaking of remakes, next up,

13
00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:32.490
we have "Brothers: A
Tale of Two Sons Remake".

14
00:00:32.490 --> 00:00:34.152
Featuring rebuilt
characters and landscapes

15
00:00:34.152 --> 00:00:37.587
based on the 2013 original,
you guide two brothers

16
00:00:37.587 --> 00:00:40.331
on a journey to save their
father from a deadly illness

17
00:00:40.331 --> 00:00:42.330
by finding the Water of Life.

18
00:00:42.330 --> 00:00:44.790
Expect charming environmental puzzles

19
00:00:44.790 --> 00:00:46.740
and emotional devastation.

20
00:00:46.740 --> 00:00:47.690
You've been warned.

21
00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:49.830
And to cap off the month,

22
00:00:49.830 --> 00:00:52.417
we have one of the year's
most anticipated games,

23
00:00:52.417 --> 00:00:54.570
"Final Fantasy VII Rebirth."

24
00:00:54.570 --> 00:00:55.770
This is the second part

25
00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:57.554
of Square Enix's ambitious remake trilogy

26
00:00:57.554 --> 00:01:01.140
based on the hugely influential 1997 game.

27
00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:03.090
It's big, it's beautiful,

28
00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:05.820
and you can spend weeks
exploring this world.

29
00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:08.050
These characters are an
absolute joy to spend time with,

30
00:01:08.050 --> 00:01:09.900
and the writing is impeccable.

31
00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:11.296
I even liked Cait Sith in this game,

32
00:01:11.296 --> 00:01:13.350
which is no small feat.

33
00:01:13.350 --> 00:01:15.420
Like with 2020's FF7 remake,

34
00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:17.334
there are loads of story tweaks and twists

35
00:01:17.334 --> 00:01:19.980
that are gonna have
people talking for months,

36
00:01:19.980 --> 00:01:22.350
so believe the hype on this one.

37
00:01:22.350 --> 00:01:23.640
That'll do it for this week.

38
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.590

forward to trying out?
