ICMYI: This Week in IGN Game Previews: Wolverine, Star Wars: Zero Company, and More!

Your one-stop shop for any game preview coverage you might've missed at IGN this week from Marvel's Wolverine, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Star Wars: Zero Company, and Job Simulator: Human Relations.

ICMYI: This Week in IGN Game Previews: Wolverine, Star Wars: Zero Company, and More!

As the holidays approach in August, IGN Game Previews brings you a roundup of big games coming our way. Marvel's Wolverine, Star Wars: Zero Company, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, and Job Simulator: Human Relations are highlighted in this week's previews.

Marvel's Wolverine boasts violent combat with a clever Rage Meter, but lacks the personalization seen in Spider-Man. The story follows pre-X-Men Logan alongside known foes, and has welcome character development moments in the non-combat Lowtown area. However, the full game may need more of these exhale moments.

Star Wars: Zero Company offers depth and ease of play for Star Wars fans. Permadeath is optional, adding weight to strategic choices. The game's tactical shooting is approachable for newcomers, while experienced fans will appreciate its complexity. Some bugs and technical issues were observed, but the developers have little time to resolve them before launch.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave attempts to front-load individual hero stories, with a fun risk/reward system in combat. The new Blaze Arts moves add depth, and developers have introduced exciting changes to the Fire Emblem structure. The save-game system may annoy players wanting to see everything, but several new additions and features are prominent.

Job Simulator: Human Relations, now without VR, offers wild and humorous multiplayer office shenanigans. The full game's variety and replayability remain to be seen, but the anthropomorphized CRT monitor character adds a unique twist to the comedic workplace sim.
