PS4 game releases for February 2016

Unravel – Feb 9

This charming puzzle platformer will send players on an adventure as Yarny. While platforming, the yarn will continuously unravel from Yarny, meaning you'll have to make deliberate and careful decisions during each level.

Street Fighter V – Feb 16

Capcom's hit fighting franchise is almost upon us. If you're the competitive type and prefer the likes of Hadouken and Shoryuken over your gory Fatality, then Street Fighter V is sure to be on your radar already.

Far Cry Primal – Feb 23

It's surreal that a Far Cry game that was just announced not too long ago is already getting a release this month, but we're excited none the less. Ditching modern technology and guns in favor of a prehistoric setting, players will have to survive the harsh wilderness of the Mesolithic period.

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 – Feb 23

The ongoing feud between flora and undead wages on in the next installment of the third-person spin-off, PvZ: Garden Warfare 2. Not only will there be an expanded solo mode so players can play by themselves, there will be a suite of new modes for multiplayer as well, including a unique mode called Backyard Battleground, which is a small open-world of sorts where players can wage war against the other faction and complete missions.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia – Feb 9

The third and final game in the 2.5D Assassin's Creed Chronicles game comes out this month, and this time players will find themselves in 1918 Russia, and playing as assassin Nikolai Orelov.

Dying Light: The Following – Feb 9

The devs over at Techland sure know how to make an expansion. Featuring a bigger map than the original, vehicles, new gameplay modes, and more loot, The Following expands the base game on a grand scale, offering both new and existing players a ton of content.

Firewatch – Feb 9

Firewatch will be an atmospheric game, placing players in the Wyoming wilderness in 1989, where they'll have to communicate with their supervisor via radio, and uncover some strange occurences that are going on.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 – Feb 9

CyberConnect 2's anime fighter is returning with the fourth numbered installment, propelling the Naruto storyline even further. I've always loved these games, as they were able to showcase fast-paced and fluid grand battles, albeit with a simplified control scheme. Something I'm sure Dragon Ball Z games might benefit from as well.

January was a pretty decent month for video games but February seems to kick it up a notch. Anime seems to be a prevalent theme among February releases, but sprinkled between we have some Zombie survival, prehistoric survival and even plant on zombie combat. Whoa!

Let's check out the games coming to PS4 in February.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Feb 2

It's been a damn long time since I played a Digimon game. To be specific, the last Digimon game I played and thoroughly enjoyed was Digimon World 3, back on the original PlayStation in 2002. For some reason or another, I missed out on the sprinkled releases through the years. I'm not making that mistake with Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, which is a turn based RPG that takes place in both the real world and the cyber world. This is also coming to the PS Vita.

Gravity Rush Remastered – Feb 2

Gravity Rush remains as one of the most unique experiences on the PS Vita. The premise itself is wild; You can shift gravity in any direction, and use this mechanic for both puzzle solving, platforming and combat. I always wished to play this game on a big screen TV and Bluepoint made it happen. Look for our review next week.

Megadimension Neptunia VII – Feb 2

The Nep-Nep saga continues with another game. Making its debut on the PS4. More is the name of the game here. More characters to play as, three stories to go through, new transformation modes, a revamped battle system and a new dungeon mini-game await you in this latest installment. If you've been keeping up with the series, then you owe it to yourself to check it out on the PS4.

Arslan: The Warriors of Legend – Feb 9

As much as I love the Warriors series, and as much as I love anime/manga, I'm completely unfamiliar with this specific property. The game is based on the 2015 anime and will feature numerous characters from the show. As is standard in the Warriors series, if you're a fan of mowing down 1000s of soldiers in a given mission, like I do, then Arslan is certainly worth keeping your eye on.
