Ravenlock
It was announced during Xbox & Bethesda Showcase 2022, you may remember Ravenlock, which will be available from launch on Game Pass. It is an action role-playing game that also draws its inspiration from tales. We embody Ravenlok, who finds himself immersed in a strange world after passing through the mirror. A dark world riven by corruption. We were promised everything we can expect from this genre: exploration, challenge, bosses, levels to beat, quests.

Atomic heart
The following game is well known, but it is impossible not to include it in this selection! Atomic heartDoes this mean anything to you? It is an open-world first-person shooter game developed by Mundfish studio. in the program: Soviet robots with a completely crossed out design Who will not give you any gifts … “Secret Experiments have bred mutants, giant machines and super-powerful robots in the shadows” We can learn on Steam. “You are the only one who can stop them.” To help you out, you have a gauntlet of power and an arsenal of weapons, for Bioshock-like gameplay.

Skate story
In video games, you embody a demon, as we know it. But Skate Demonit seems to us to be the first … and yet it is the (strange) concept he proposed Skate story, solo developed by Sam Eng | Published by Devolver Digital. The description on Steam couldn’t be clearer: “You are a demon made of glass and languish in the underworld. Evil gave you a skateboard and a simple mission, ride to the moon and swallow it to be free.” Along the way, you’ll meet other tormented souls, but above all, perfect your board of directors from the ground up. As can be seen in the trailer, the figure physics are at the height of realism – arguably as good as in session. Then there is this amazing art direction. In short, a UFO.

Thirty suitors
Apparently though Thirty suitors It looks like a colorful and narrative game like any other, it is in fact a real electric battery. Because yes, the Outerloop project, edited by Annapurna, mixes three genres that would – ordinarily – have nothing to do together: Fighting, skating and cooking ! You read that right… According to the Steam page, it’s “a game about culture, relationships, family pressures, and self-expression” where you play as Gala, a young woman. During the fighting stages vs. stages, you will thus have to fight against “bad guys, suitors and exes”. As for skateboarding, it seems to be about exploration with challenges, puzzles, and other baddies. Finally, on the kitchen side, there’s talk of “impressing your mom and fixing up your relationship” as part of the “Action Packed Clips”. Obviously, it remains to be seen how these three genres will mix.

Blocky Square
Very quickly reminded of “RPG Time The Legend of Wright”, The Blake Square It is based on a simple yet very attractive concept: storybook characters (Layos | his friends) who become aware of the existence of another world, off the back cover. Basically, the 2D stages on the pages give way to 3D exploration, right in the kid’s room! In all of this, the hero will have to fight against the fearsome Ragecuite and give his story a “happy ending” … plus Absolutely irresistible visual style, The Plucky Squire seems to offer quite diverse stages with boxing, shooting, and shooting. Yes, everything feels like a breath of fresh air.

The little devil is inside
We end up with a project we’ve been hearing about for a long time and can’t wait for it to happen: The little devil is inside. Remember, at the end of 2021 on the PlayStation side, we had the right to a great series of gameplay, and then nothing. As a reminder, the program is presented as a mixture of action, adventure, survival and RPG. In the latest trailer, we can see fantasy creatures (such as kraken, skeletons) and a An adventure that promises to be rather originalbetween traveling by train, breaking with fire, galleys in the snow … To this day it is still difficult to understand what we have to do, but one thing is certain: we want more!
