No other game at Opening Night Live captivated me as much as this one, its monstrously ridiculous world and ways being so simultaneously cryptic and noisy that it’s just, like… What? Please inform me of what is actually going on here. That doesn’t mean we can’t be excited though.
That’s how game trailers and the titles they represent work. Still, we won’t know until we get our hands on it. Given the popularity, acclaim, and staying power BDO has enjoyed over the last few years, I think it’s fair to suggest that Pearl Abyss’ pedigree is definitely more indicative of DokeV’s chances to be good rather than bad. Why? Because absurd nonsense is, in fact, very intriguing, especially when it looks, sounds, and hopefully plays as well as it appeared at Gamescom. DokeV somehow manages to go one further - again, I have no idea what this game is actually about.
Temtem, too, is directly inspired by Game Freak’s iconic monster taming sim, and yet it oozes personality to the point of immediate distinction from its origins. It is an almost brazen riff off of Pokemon, granted, but only insofar as the idea of catching cutesy little creatures and making them claw-punch one another goes. The thing about DokeV is that it’s just… itself. I already wrote about how I firmly believe that Death Stranding Director’s Cut is the most exciting game of 2021 - despite the original game launching in 2019 - and I’m currently wincing to the point of near-pain at the fact Horizon Forbidden West and Sifu come out within four days of one another.
