Good upcoming games we might not have heard about?

Rasseru · 21 Jun 2017 at 12:03

Are there any upcoming games that arent so famous?

Personally i'm really looking forward to whatever Ken Levine is coming up with at Ghost Story, although it will probably be all over the news when its out I dont hear anything about it.

Any others that are slipping under the radar?

Oh, on that note, system shock III & remake. woop !!!!

The only thing that's caught my eye is Blasphemous. I didn't back the kickstarter but I'll be interested to see how it turns out.

Yeah, looks great that one. Spotted some of the artwork on twitter a few months back, and then saw Jim Sterling's coverage earlier this week.

A couple of others:

Huntdown

Contra/Midnight Resistance style 'run & gun'. Looks pretty sweet.

My Memory of Us
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/20...us-is-a-holocaust-story-with-robots-and-hmmm/
A holocaust (note: not The Holocaust) based story involving flying robots. Polish made and inspired by the stories of their own grandparents' lives during Nazi occupation. Looks lovely and sounds haunting.

I'm looking forward to the new game from Klei - Griftlands: https://www.klei.com/games/griftlands Not a great deal of information on it yet - but looks interesting.

Also - I hadn't realised the Secret World was going totally free to play next week - https://secretworldlegends.com/

Chris Avellone is doing some scribbling on this Kickstarter. Looking forward to it.

oh that sounds cool. No experience with kingmaker or pathfinder even but NWN has been my favourite campaign in a computer RPG ever I think - if it can do similar I will be stoked to play this

I'd say Frozen Synapse 2, but I think most people have at least heard of the original. Otherwise, I'm really looking forward to Ruiner, although being published by Devolver means it will probably get plenty of coverage. Also keeping an eye on They Are Billions - a kind of RTS, city building, base defense game, set in a steampunk zombie apocalypse.

never heard of frozen synapse. Saw Ruiner before - Devolver or any smaller studio is fine, i'm more interested in a thread for games from quieter studios who might be working on cool things i havent heard about.

they are billions looks cool too, i like the idea

Brian Blessed voice acting makes it a must play...

Some on my radar include;

Frostpunk - post-apocalyptic strategy city builder thang
Praey for the Gods - Shadow of the Colossus-esque adventure
Hunt Showdown - Crytek co-op horror FPS
Tunic - lovely looking exploration and adventure
Frozen Synapse 2 - top down tactical magnificence
GTFO - more co-op horror FPS

Fade into silence. Made by Black Forest Games, of Giana Sisters fame.
