DIGITALSome series take so long to come out with another entry that we forget about that possibility. When Space Marine 2 was finally released more than a decade later, it had much to prove, if only to remind us why we liked the first Space Marine so long ago. Needless to say, it didn't disappoint.
Set hundreds of years after the first game, Space Marine 2 brings back the Ultramarine Titus, who is still fighting to prove his loyalty to the Emperor. Things ramp up significantly as he's returned from the brink of death, promoted, and then sent into battle to slaughter hordes of vicious aliens and chaos forces. Power armor, power on!

You dip your toes in to try out the water, and it feels a bit strange, but you decide to go deeper.

DIGITALMany of us enjoy exploring periods in games when gaming wasn't even a thing. This gives us some insight into what the world was like, what it was like to live in it, and the current state of affairs during times of extreme social, economic, and global distress. This is what Industria is going for with its troubling experience.
Set in East Berlin during the '80s, you're a woman who suddenly finds herself caught between the realities of this world. While exploring, she learns that her colleague has gone missing and needs to search through all these alternate versions of her city.

DIGITALWhen it comes to harsh worlds, we tend to be bigger fans of the desert wasteland variety when another can be just as brutal and more disheartening. This is an ice-based realm where everything is covered in frost and every person struggles not to freeze. That's the main goal behind The Pale Beyond, which is just the start of your troubles.
Following an expedition, a group of sailors is stranded in an ocean of ice with hope slowly dying out. Using whatever resources they could find, the sailors managed to keep things going and push their ship to keep moving forward. However, the cold is brutal, and your sailors will be seeking heat, food, and stability, leaving you to make hard decisions to help your crew endure and keep everyone safe and warm.

SUBSCRIPTIONAfter magic, the concept of psychic powers dominates a lot of fiction stories with a heavier emphasis on the science aspect of things. All of us at one point or another have thought about thought-powers and wondered about the responsibilities that come with them, which is why Control gives us some insight into that.

SUBSCRIPTIONSeeing the release line-up so full of sequels and similar titles can make you lose hope for creativity and innovation in the gaming market. That's why when something dons a rainbow romper and a hat made of salted caramel stardust, we must make sure to burn it into our memories, which brings us to Hi-Fi Rush.
In an unexpected maneuver, Bethesda lent its publishing power to a game about an aspiring rock star named Chai signing up for an experimental cybernetic procedure in hopes of becoming a better musician. Through a series of events, the process fuses his music device into his heart, allowing him to perceive a rhythm throughout the entire world to which he can sync up all his actions.
He does this by creating a guitar out of junk and then surprising everyone by using it to smash robots into pieces rather than carry a tune. He'll team up with a colorful and ragtag group of rebels to take down the cybernetic company in a series of platforming action levels with great music and a wonderful sense of humor.

DIGITALPicture this: It's the 80s, and crime dominates the streets to the point where even the police are afraid to do their jobs. Seeing this, a tech company decides to invest in a project to create a new type of law enforcement officer, one without fear and a body made to withstand anything that criminals can get their hands on. This is RoboCop, and he's the star of RoboCop: Rogue City.
Even though many would say that the good of RoboCop doesn't go past the first movie, Rogue City has helped to redeem the character. What made the movie stand out was that it pulled no punches in depicting violent criminals and a robotic police officer who responded with a similar level of violence. The game gives you the chance to experience things from RoboCop's perspective as he fights a one-cyborg war against crime with all the machine power and firepower he can wield while trying to minimize collateral damage.
