I was going to play it no matter what, but talk of Metroid Prime 4 being Zelda-like has me extra excited. Last big game I need to play before making my top 10.

I've been playing a bit of Gigasword lately and while I am having fun, it has some of the worst traits of a platformer/metroidvania. The backtracking and lack of fast travel are driving me nuts.

Earlier this month, I visited Bungie to go hands-on with Destiny 2's new Renegades expansion. From the campaign to the new Lawless Frontier activity to the Praxic Blade (lightsaber), there is a lot to cover. Here's my preview but there's more on the site. buff.ly/FUod1x0
Destiny 2: Renegades is Inspired By Star Wars, But It's Not a Star Wars Expansion [Hands-on Preview]
