The first quarter of 2019 is filled with heavy hitters. Kingdom Hearts 3, Devil May Cry 5, the list goes on. Metro Exodus will be out in February and it’s going to release with a built-in photo mode.
With what we've seen of Metro Exodus - a stunning game of post-apocalyptic Russia - a photo mode feature is a great addition to the game.
“They’re relatively rare in first person shooters, but the tam have been determined to make it work and give Metro fans the opportunity to capture their own stories from the Russian wastelands.” executive producer Jon Block said.
Calling all video game photographers - you can document your journey in #MetroExodus from day one with Photo Mode!

Metro Exodus is still a survival shooter but now with bigger environments to explore. It's a welcome change because of the first two games mostly taking place in Russia's metro system. Exodus is bigger in terms of scale, but still built as a linear experience, which is how I like my Metro.
Photo mode will be available on all platforms. The PC version gets a slight advantage since Metro Exodus supports NVIDIA's Ansel technology, giving players more options when taking photos of a country in ruins.
It’s a feature we see a lot lately, with games like Marvel’s Spider-Man or Shadow of the Tomb Raider shipping with their own in-game photo mode to give players the option to share online.
Metro Exodus will be out on February 15 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Developers 4A Games has more information to share as we draw closer to release, like this new trailer above..
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve delivers an incredible single-player campaign, thrilling dogfights, and a phenomenal soundtrack, despite its underwhelming multiplayer.
Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen brings out the best in Capcom's action RPG with a massive new region, rewarding gear progression, challenging endgame dungeons, and a more focused story. It's a fantastic expansion, even if its improvements make much of the base game's content feel obsolete.
Our The Blood of the Dawnwalker review explores Rebel Wolves’ dark fantasy RPG, its 30-day time limit, the day and night cycle curveball, excellent side quests, and shortcomings.
Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition bundles the base game with Echoes of Sekigahara, Most Wanted, and Legends co-op. While the main campaign drags, Most Wanted delivers an excellent roguelite combat experience, especially with Jin Sakai.
The amount of effort seen here gives me hope for Capcom’s future attempts at reviving classic titles, as Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the latest title of the once dormant classic franchise, comes back in the best way possible as it very well might be my game of the year contender.
StarFox brings the beloved N64 classic back on Nintendo Switch 2 with smoother 60fps gameplay, improved controls, new challenges, co-op, and a surprisingly excellent multiplayer mode.
After more than 40 hours with Control: Resonant, my full review looks at Remedy's strange open-world adventure, its story, combat, exploration, and spectacular final act that it’s easy to consider this my favorite title from Remedy Entertainment.
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition brings FromSoftware's masterpiece to Nintendo Switch 2 with new classes, fast loading and surprisingly solid performance, but some graphical compromises and its $79.99 price give the port a few caveats.
Marvel’s Wolverine is a solid video game, and I enjoyed my time with it, but I left wanting more from both the game and the character. It succeeds at making you feel like Wolverine, even if the game surrounding that fantasy isn't always as compelling.
Arc System Works nailed Tokon and showed once again why they are one of the best in the genre. While it’s too soon to know if this game will perfectly fill the tag team Marvel void in the fighting game community, it launched with a respectable package perfect for everyone.
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a faithful, gorgeous remake that nails everything above water, even if its stale combat proves the series still hasn't solved its oldest problem.
Tales of Eternia Remastered brings the classic PS1 JRPG to modern platforms with enhanced visuals, a new voice cast, camp skits, and plenty of quality-of-life improvements that make revisiting this adventure much easier.
