Which game from this list are you planning to play? Let us know! 👇
We were blown away by Chained Beasts!? We thought we were burnt out on roguelikes, yet here we are, grinding away at a demo lol.
Also, we're praying for some positive early reviews for Gears. The Horde Siege mode looks metal , see you there, fellow Marcus Fenix's 🤘
We had some fun with RV there yet and Snowrunner, but never fully finished either because of some mechanic that got into the way of actual co-op. Over the Hill could do it right.
would like to give some love to enshrouded 1.0 releasing on oct 15th
easily the best building system i've ever come across in a survival crafter
very excited since these devs put out very consistent and quality updates
I could never understand the appeal of the overcooked style genre until my best friend flew all the way to Australia from Canada and convinced me to play couch co-op with her, then I immediately understood the appeal, the stress created some hilarious moments of me throwing food at her in a panic, adding Stardew Valley to that formula to have some downtime between the stress seems like a perfect recipe, looking forward to playing Pao Pao with her when I fly to Canada for Christmas this year, just a shame it's not local co-op, but I'm sure we'll make something work.
Thank you.
20 years ago 😭you didn't have to tell us that out loud lmaoooo So excited for this new Gears game
Oh man, all games for this month look so good, love to see strong art direction and interesting mechanics.
GLAD TO HEAR NOX''S VOICE IN THIS VIDEO and some good puns overall as always
Thank you for all the work yall put on these videos, another banger!
No local coop in a pod racer successor is really spitting on us. That was the spirit of the original on Nintendo 64. That is really sad.
