The end of the year is approaching, and it's about time that publications begin crowning their Games of the Year. Before that, November has its share of big releases, from the eagerly awaited to the long-in-development.
The biggest games of the month are probably Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. The former improves on its predecessor with a Career System, flight planner, and even more real-world systems. Meanwhile, the latter takes the survival sandbox approach of the franchise and offers a massive seamless map with an extensive story and tons of secrets.
If you don't have an Xbox Series X/S (or the hardware to run them on PC), don't worry. Whether it's Planet Coaster 2 and the addition of water attractions, the early access launches of Path of Exile 2 and Towers of Aghasba, or the first new Mario and Luigi title since 2015, there's plenty more to look forward to in November.
