On the other hand, it is a game that has been awaited for 16 years now and for which, until recently, even hopes had been lost, so it is normal to be among the most important releases of the period. the expectations of a large part of the editorial staff.
On the other hand, the new strategic with historical setting of Microsoft and World's Edge looks a lot to tradition, going to reconnect above all to the second chapter of the series and recovering various classic elements that have made the franchise famous, all things that stimulate more than any other. It is probably thanks to this type of lineup that Age of Empires 4 finally emerged as the most anticipated game of October 2021, albeit only at the end of a remarkable head-to-head with Metroid Dread, which ultimately finished second by very little. The most eagerly awaited by the editorial staff Age of Empires 4, a scene from the game Finally, the most PCist tradition prevailed in the editorial team's vote, an element often determining in these parts. In any case, there are very good reasons to vote for one or the other and it is a good thing that they both won: they are, moreover, highly anticipated sequels in both cases, both deriving from historical series, able to deeply mark the genre they belong to and both trying to evolve their respective series with the application of some innovations, developed over long intervals of time.
Obviously these preferences have little to do with the actual affirmation on the market, in fact, but they show at least how much tastes can also go against the tide compared to the more common feeling widespread in the general public. The games voted are still of great importance, but it is interesting to see how the choices have "snubbed" some major titles such as FIFA 22, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy or Far Cry 6, for example. There is no doubt that these are certainly among the games of greater depth coming in the next few days, but we must not forget the presence of some real blockbusters that nevertheless seem not to have been taken into great consideration between a survey and the more. We are entering the heart of an autumn which, as usual, should bring with it several interesting innovations and an idea of the quantity and variety of games coming up already emerges from the election of the most anticipated game in October 2021, which led to two results different as regards readers and editors, with the first who preferred Metroid Dread and the second who instead focused above all on Age of Empires 4, therefore two very different choices that however underline the variety of experiences that we are destined to live in the course of this videogame month.
