It’s a full week with lots and lots of games that are probably worth your time. My pick, though, goes to Fortnite.
I know, I know. We’ve all probably had it up to here (note: your “here” may vary, depending upon the length of your arms and how far up to “here” you’ve had it) with the survival-builder genre.
If I close my eyes and concentrate, I can still call up the smell of that Subway restaurant. The thick, preservative-laden bread mingling with burnt basil and Asiago.
Welcome to Orbital Decay, an episodic collaborative storytelling RPG made possible by our Patreon subscribers! Join Game Master Michael Zenke as he takes Sean Sands, Shawn Andrich, Karla Andrich and Rob Daviau into a mysterious sci-fi adventure where our heroes don't know who they are, where they are or why they've emerged from their damaged cryo pods in the first place.
There are a lot of games to choose from this week, but I’m going to go with the one I’ve been looking forward to ever since I saw it at PAX East earlier this year.
Serial Cleaner puts you in the role of a professional cleaner, but not the sort you’d find in an Amy Jones movie. More the sort you’d find in a Quentin Tarantino movie.
A World War II shooter, with a twist. Four twists, in fact. At a rate of one twist per ten inches.
And now you know how the barrel on an M1 Garand is rifled.
"Doom is back, you guys!" Sean Sands delightfully cheers on the Conference Call. My shoulders bounce from a soft chuckle, then slump.
When I play the 2016 DOOM, I have a good time. I recognize the craftsmanship that has gone into its level creation and the careful hand-balancing each of its encounters. This is not just a good game, it is an excellent game.
