James: This is probably one you'd need to convince multiple friends to buy at the same time. What is it? Subterranean, four-dwarf co-op FPS in which you help yourself to a planet's natural resources while under constant assault from giant bugs.
RPS Supporters can also follow Katharine's full adventures in the BB Boys road trip diaries. Our Death Stranding review came in video form, which you can watch below. It's the very best kind of walking simulator, and a road trip you're unlikely to forget in a hurry. This is a game that really asks you to engage with its environment, where every journey must be planned and prepared for in advance, and where even the slightest change in gradient can send you tumbling to your knees. It can be a little slow to find its feet, and be intensely daft in places, but I have never felt such a deep connection to a game world as I have in Death Stranding. It was one of my personal favourites from last year, and at 70% off is well worth a punt if you've been curious about what Kojima did next after Metal Gear Solid V. Most of all, though, it's a game about connection, whether that's forging new routes and delivery links between disparate cities, or simply strengthening your bond with your jar pal BB.
It's a game where you can pee off the side of the mountain, rock a baby in a jar to sleep, hike across a post-apocalyptic United States, and do battle with invisible ghosty boys by hurling grenades at them made of your own excrement. Katharine: Death Stranding is many things. What is it? Hideo Kojima's melancholy hike to save the post-apocalyptic USA by fighting ghosts, delivering pizza, and fixing everyone's Internet connection. Brendy will also encourage you to play with multiplayer invasions turned on, while Jeremy Peel is more enthusiastic about doing the invading. Okay, bye!įor an opinion from someone who has played it, see our Deathloop review. Price: £24.99/€29.99/$29.99 (50% off) Alice0: Wait, Deathloop is already half-price? Mate I've not played it yet but at that price, I soon will be. What is it? An immersive sim trapped in a time loop, from the makers of Dishonored and Prey. But if you do get it, check out the best Cyberpunk 2077 mods. And be aware of Alice Bee's warning that Cyberpunk 2077 patches can't fix its biggest problems. Video games are stupid and it's a wonder they work at all aren't they great? I know it's a simple pathing issue but something so pretty yet so wonky is genuinely delightful to me. Sometimes they would then bump into someone coming the other way, turn back around, and approach the stairs once more before giving up again.
I once spent five minutes on a beautiful street watching a parade of colourful NPCs approach a set of stairs then instantly turn around once they realised they didn't know how to climb them. I have spent a long time simply strolling through the streets, looking.Īnd as someone who enjoys the fact that games are built of smoke, mirrors, and lies, it's great to see this so starkly exposed by the contrast between the fancy art and the janky tech. I grew up on Judge Dredd and trash cyberpunk movies this is the sort of oh-so-80s vision of the future I crave. Lots is repetitive but I don't mind so much when it's set somewhere as pretty as Night City. I enjoyed a lot of my time in Night City, meeting people, sneaking around, running and leaping across footstops with my cool cyberlegs, befriending Keanu Reeves, and hacking the planet. By now, I'm sure your expectations have been thoroughly tempered by the reality of this game. Price: £24.99/€29.99/$29.99 (50% off) - same as on GOGĪlice0: Ah y'know what, yeah, I will recommended Cyberpunk 2077 at this price. What is it? CD Projekt Red's woefully janky dystopian RPG follow-up to The Witcher.
