It also means befriending a robot dog who doesn't laugh at your jokes, attacking people with a polearm made of arms, and being kicked around by a US senator who boasts about his sporting prowess in between explaining how he wants to stoke war so America can be reborn as a libertarian paradise. Yes, this means plenty of cutscene conversations about 'the war economy', the nature of violence, duty, causes, and nanomachines. It's more of the Bayonetta-y hack 'n' slash action that Platinum do so well (and explain so poorly), this time set in Hideo Kojima's sensible world of Metal Gear. Made by Bayonetta devs PlatinumGames, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance hit consoles in 2013 then PC in 2014. In 2018 a US senator tries to spark international war as part of a plan to- and he actually says this-'make America great again.' It's 2018 and hell, I'll take any excuse to talk about Revengeance again. 2018 is the year to swordfight a giant robodinosaur.

2018 is the year of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. While most games set in 2018 squandered this just-out-of-reach year by simply speculating that sports teams might have slightly different lineups-a shameful lack of vision from PES 2018 and NBA 2K18-one dreamed big. The dawning of a year means a little more of what was once the near-future is now the present. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
