Gears of War Tactics has arrived, and we ask if the XCOM franchise should be worried. Also, we give our thoughts on Shadow Arena a spinoff from Black Desert Online. Shadow Arena is an early access game from Pearl Abyss, combining the mechanics of 3D fighters with modern battle royale types and boasting 40 player matches. The PVP aspect has been a prevailing aspect of BDO, and now with Shadow Arena moving further towards a purely competitive MMO experience. Will this new style of battle royale games carve it's own niche away from games like Fortnite? And in our main segment, we return to the battle for humanity against the locust horde. Gears of War Tactics is the latest entry in the franchise, and the first to stray away from its shooter origins. The game revolves around a turn-based strategy system, similar to games in the XCOM series. And while many will question the style change, more are curious to see how it elevates the genre. Can this game stand out from the rest, or will it sink into an emergence hole of its ambitions?
