Chromehounds

Another FromSoftware hidden gem, 2007’s Chromehounds is a wartime mech game about an alternate history WWII where giant robots and solar flares plunged the globe into geopolitical conflict. The game excelled more in online multiplayer than the dry, plodding campaign, but a lot of customization and alternate vehicle types meant it wasn’t a complete slog. Probably the coolest bit about it was that the only way to communicate with teammates in matches was by capturing comms towers and remaining in range. Despite the friction, Chromehounds had a small but passionate cult-following. Nearly two decades later it would be neat to give it another go. — Ethan
