Whether you were slaying zombies and running across the rooftops in Dying Light, taking a trip down memory lane with Heroes of Might & Magic 3 HD, or control time in the rural town of Arcadia Bay, Oregon, in Life is Strange, you had quite the repertoire of games to sink your teeth into. Luckily, February is looking even meatier, with a bunch of solid releases.
Let's take a look, shall we?
Grow Home – February 4th
Ubisoft's experimental game, Grow Home, will have you playing as BUD, the Botanical Utility Droid sent on a mission across the galaxy to search for new species of plants to oxygenate his home world. On his mission he comes across the Star Plant – the perfect specimen for oxygenation. According to Producer Pete Young, "BUD’s mission is to grow it to maturity and harvest the seeds it produces. The plant ends up being a towering two-kilometer-high bridge from the ground to his space ship."
Evolve – February 10th
What's better than teaming up with four of your buddies to take down giant beasts? Having a fifth player be the giant beast. Evolve is a 4v1 game where four hunters team up and try to hunt down another player that's controlling one of many hulking and dangerous monsters. And with 2K looking over the results of the last beta, they'll make sure that the game is fine tuned to be balanced, so no side is ever more powerful than the other. Evolve drops February 10th.
