Despite the fact that summer is just about here, there’s no guarantee that we can all head outside to enjoy warm weather. Rainy days are an inevitable part of any British summer, but that’s no reason to get downhearted, as there are plenty of great new games to check out that should be more than capable of countering the gloomy weather.
What better way to take out your frustrations of being stuck indoors that by playing a highly violent first-person shooter? And the recent Doom upgrade has certainly provided gamers with a brutal and streamlined way to commit mass acts of violence on demonic aliens. With reviewers stating that it’s the gaming version of Mad Max: Fury Road, it’ll give you the best chance yet to get an adrenaline rush on a rainy summer’s day.
However, one negative point of Doom is that the multiplayer gaming option is somewhat lacking, which is definitely a criticism that can’t be levelled at Overwatch. This PS4, Xbox One and PC title looks to be the gaming hit of the summer thanks to the way it offers perhaps the most chaotic multiplayer yet with a fantastic selection of characters to choose from and many ways to create carnage for your opposing team.
Even if you’re not a console gamer, there’s still a lot of fun to be had on your smartphone with the likes of the Summoner’s War app gaining a huge amount of downloads for iOS and Android devices. With over 50 million online players enjoying the strategic fantasy RPG fun, it’s a great indication of just how far mobile gaming has come.
Whereas if you’re craving a bit of outdoor fun on your smartphone then Touchgrind BMX is a good option as it provides you with many tricks to perform on your digital bike via a great touchscreen mechanism.
And finally what’s the great British summer without the sound of tractors roaming around our country lanes? Those wishing to join in the fun should definitely download the Farming Simulator 16 app as it offers the best bet yet for making agriculture look like a lot of fun!
