In Stores This Week Around the World - Just Cause 3 & Rainbow Six Siege

​

​

The gaming year is almost done and dusted, folks. This week represents the very last week that publishers will release big new games - and there's two new titles that will battling for a place on everyone's Game of the Year lists. But will either of them make it in?​

Rainbow Six: Siege's inclusion looks unlikely. With two big betas under its belt, it would seem giving everyone early access to the multiplayer shooter was in some ways a misstep for Ubisoft. While it gave the publisher info to battle any last minute netcode and servers problems, it also allowed players to try out the game ahead of launch. The broad response has not been positive. It'll be interesting to see if that feedback has an impact on the game's ultimate reception.​

Just Cause 3 has a better chance of finding a place on GotY lists. The sequel to Avalanche's well-received open-world action title, Just Cause 3 appears to be doubling down on what makes the series fun: explosions, freedom and emergent craziness. It's perhaps not enough to steal away any awards from the likes of The Witcher 3, Fallout 4 and Metal Gear Solid V, but the odds are good that it'll steal a place in your heart.​
