With the launch of a new console always comes new IPs and potential franchises looking to set an early standard that games coming out later have to achieve, if not overcome in an effort to become memorable. Most of these launch games showcase the impressive technology behind the latest gaming console while not necessarily revolutionizing the gaming landscape by having a gameplay style rooted in the generation prior or even earlier. The Counterplay Games-developed “Godfall” attempts to change the perception of what a console-launch game can be by presenting a first-of-its-kind “looter-slasher” with the player’s (or players’) intent of cutting their way through hordes of enemies and achieving weapons & accessories galore. It’s time to put on your Valorplate, choose your legendary weapon, and gain some first impressions of “Godfall”.
