Now that E3 seems to be starting to slightly decline from the media spotlight, especially after a somewhat decaffeinated last edition, the German event is not only consolidated as the most important that can be enjoyed in Europe, but it is also a true titan of current events. video game in the whole world. Obviously, its prism is not as great as the one held in Los Angeles, but with episodes as forceful as this year, you can start to think about becoming an alternative for the future for those who are also looking for something more than blockbusters .
The key? Your Ads. Some of the most relevant companies have taken advantage of these days to present gameplay of their most anticipated proposals for the coming months. However, it has also been the place chosen by many teams to put aside other proposals, perhaps not so dedicated to making some disgusting collections, but they can treasure enormous quality and very good and really original ideas to try to offer something fresh to the current video game scene. A current landscape overloaded with multiplayer shooters where loot is what matters and, unfortunately, less concerned with seeking to create greater diversity.
