In case you missed it, Sony’s most recent State of Play broadcast happened just the other day, bringing numerous exciting reveals and announcements directly to our eyeballs. Now, I know what you’re wondering. Did they announce a Bloodborne remaster or PC port? Sadly, no. But don’t be too disappointed, the stream did nonetheless feature more than a handful of interesting games – games that we’d very much like to share with you, in no particular order.
Horror games are meant to be scary. I know, I know – what a novel idea. But do hear me out. There are a multitude of ways to induce fear and unease in the player: a seemingly indestructible monster that hunts you, the sight of a poorly-lit corridor within an ill-fated research facility, or just a memorably written yet oddly disturbing journal entry about the tragic fates of those that came before you.
Starring a no-nonsense protagonist in the form of Queedo the Gravedigger, the game will have players embark on a dangerous journey to avenge their father and kick plenty of monster butt along the way.
The Game Awards 2024 came and went, and as someone who enjoys, consumes, and writes about video games, I felt compelled to tune in – in part to see what games would be announced, and also to roll my eyes at all the silly things (some intentional, others not so much) that generally happen at shows like this. I realize I’m getting old, so maybe I’m being a bit of a curmudgeon here, but I often feel like I’m no longer the target audience for a lot of this.
Set in a biomechanical world filled with traps and strange technology, the game features an interesting teleport/swap mechanic and physics system, letting players manipulate gravity or switch places with objects in order to cleverly overcome obstacles and solve puzzles.
Starring a young warrior named Inayah who goes on a journey in a post-apocalyptic world to find her tribe, the game features a fast-paced weapon switching mechanic that sees Inayah transform her gauntlet into three distinct armaments: blades, fists and a flail, all of which provide her with different combat styles and traversal possibilities.
An action-packed title that has you customize your mech with a variety of weapons and upgrades in order to defeat legions of monsters, Time Treker and its difficulty felt somewhat daunting to me when I first tried it earlier this year. However, once I overcame those initial hurdles, I found myself warming up to the game quite a bit.
The Thaumaturge follows the life of Wiktor Szulski, a supernatural demon-tamer who finds himself investigating the death of his father while getting caught up in the political machinations of the city.
Taking place in the city of Ge’shan in late 2016, the game’s narrative will focus on a peculiar missing person’s case that eventually leads into some paranormal mysteries and the myth of the so-called Land Beneath.
