SG 184 | Tokyo Game Show + State of Play + Ubisoft se hunde + FC 25 + Visions of Mana
Episode notes
Sector Gaming reviews a week marked by State of Play, Tokyo Game Show and Meta Connect. After discussing their time with FC 25, Black Myth: Wukong and Space Marine 2, they assess State of Play as adequate but overly reliant on remasters; Ghost of Yotei stands out as its major announcement, alongside updates on Astro Bot, Palworld, Stellar Blade and Monster Hunter Wilds. They also cover Xbox’s Japan-focused Tokyo Game Show presentation, along with several games and Game Pass additions.
The show examines Ubisoft’s situation after cancelling its Tokyo Game Show appearance and delaying Assassin’s Creed Shadows, criticising the repetition in its open worlds and its business strategy. On hardware, they discuss PS5 Pro and Meta’s announcements, including Orion and Meta Quest 3S.
The central section offers an extensive assessment of Visions of Mana: they praise its story, combat, music and art design, while pointing to underdeveloped side quests and the lack of online co-op. They close with FC 25, its changes to modes, interface and Rush, calling it a good football game but too iterative for anyone who already owns FC 24.
