Harvest Moon: Skytree Village (Nintendo 3DS) — Harvest Moon: Skytree Village differs from previous Harvest Moon games, in that it has a far more limited selection of bachelors and bachelorettes to choose from. When there’s not much more to do beyond dating, farming, fishing and gardening in the game, it’s important for the player to make the right choice in which person they’re going to go after.

Watch Dogs 2 (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) — Ubisoft described Watch Dogs 2's version of San Francisco as "the Wild West of technology" and said its simulation of the city should make players feel like it's alive, even if they do nothing to intervene. Marcus Holloway's adventures in Watch Dogs 2 appear to be a bit more light-hearted than the first game, poking fun at both actors and businessmen. The Windows PC version of the game is set to release on November 29. Check out Polygon's full Watch Dogs 2 YouTube playlist.

Killing Floor 2 (PlayStation 4) — Like its predecessor, Killing Floor 2 is a gore-filled, co-op first-person shooter. According to Tripwire creative director and senior animator Bill Munk, Killing Floor 2 is "a simple game."

"You have weapons," Munk told PC Gamer. "You see something that looks messed up. And you kill it. You get money for doing it and you buy better weapons. Rinse and repeat. The more enjoyable that small little loop is, the more successful the game is." An early access version of the game has been available on Steam for Windows PC since April 21. Check out the teaser trailer and trailer for its new content pack which will be included in the full release.
