I guess breaking the seventh seal also revived Fury's horse. But also, no solo game for Strife? Sadface.
Technically we got one with Genesis didn't we? Unless the fanbase doesn't count that one, I haven't actually played the games really so I don't know the general reception of that one.
I personally enjoyed Genesis, but it wasn't a solo Strife game. You play as both Strife and War.
How was Genesis?
I own the whole series but I've only played the first (which I loved) and a bit of the second. I dropped it since the devs didn't seem interested in continuing from the sequel hook in the first game. Now that they are finally getting around to that, is it worth playing the rest before 4 comes out? Do the other Riders' stories contribute to the plotline of War's campaign, or are they all just kind of doing their own thing?
2&3 are both "here's what the others were doing while War was chained up for a hundred years". Their stories are set in motion because of the premature apocalypse, and will probably have implications for humanity further in the future, but there's no impact on War directly, aside from 3 implying >!how Strife lost his guns for you to get them in the first two games!<, and I don't expect any plot points from 2&3 to come back up during 4.
As for Genesis, the main thing you should keep in mind is that it isn't a mainline game. It's more an isometric twin stick shooter/hack'n'slash, and the gameplay isn't as deep as with the main games. But it's got co-op, if you have someone to play with, and it does provide some characterization for Strife as well as showing an example of the sorts of missions the Horsemen took for the Charred Council.
