Can video games match the warmth of summer? No, but an Odyssey and a Wildlife Adventure are the next best thing


Forget simulating the heat: video games can evoke as powerful memories of summer as any other medium.

Even when it's warm inside, it's still miserable to look out at the grey world through that window, and it gets particularly grim in Autumn, when darkness arrives as early as five o'clock in the afternoon, and soggy leaves and mud cover pavements. I distinctly remember an unusual sunny day where I was so enthused to head outside due to the weather that I started playing the cheerful 'Here Comes the Sun' by The Beatles while I prepared to leave the house. Image credit: Ustwo Games As Kassandra or Alexios, the story (from what I have played so far) focuses on your attempts to work as a mercenary while also digging into your character's family issues.
