The 14 best video games of E3 2018

From samurai to cyberpunk via ancient Greece, here are the most exciting games from the 100s shown off at this year's expo

An expansive third-person action game set on foreign planets, Anthem rides the coattails of Destiny, The Division and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands, and promises wide multiplayer support that will continue long after it launches . At first glance it looks a lot like Destiny, with four players in mech exosuits blasting away at space creatures with rifles, pulse cannons, grenades and missiles. There's a touch of Horizon Zero Dawn in some of the dino-shaped mechs, Monster Hunter in the lush, dramatic environment and wildlife and Halo in the enemies and weapon design. In combat, Anthem recalls Titanfall, as you transition from hovering, to dodging, landing, sprinting and swimming, experimenting with the weighty arsenal of weapons. Developer BioWare is known for great stories: we've seen none of that aspect of Anthem yet, but it feels great to play.
