A nice break from the negativity - let's look at some games coming out this week
To break up the negativity on the front page a touch, I figured I'd have a poke around Steam's upcoming releases to highlight a few that looked fun to me. The games in this post are all coming out within the next week or so, with there being no particular reason or rhyme as to why they're being featured outside of me thinking they look like a good time. If you happen to have anything on your radar, feel free to share it below. Without further ado though!
A castle-building roguelike on wheels. It's everything I want in a modern game and more. This game popped up earlier this year with a really cool demo, and I've had to hold myself back from playing more so as to keep things fresh for the final release. You ride around, devour cattle and villages, and make your fortress the one to rule them all. It looks rad.
Next up is The Loopler. It's an... Indie... roguelite... deckbuilder... but hear me out. It's slot car racing. I'll admit my personal taste does lean towards roguelikes more than any other genre with how easy they are to pick up for short stints amidst a chaotic schedule, but this one looks like it'll be a hit. Plenty of power ups, multiple tracks to pick from. It should be good.
Oh now here's a topical one. Instead of shouting at the mods here for silencing your very valid criticism of something or another, you can go be your own mod! I honestly know very little about Permaban, but from the screenshots the aesthetics seem absolutely on point, and I couldn't just not show off a game about forum moderation now could I? It's also not a roguelike, so I imagine that'll earn some points for some.
I'll round this out with a genre that's been very much on the rise of late: friendslop. If you happen to have one to three friends handy, you can task them with weird physics-based construction jobs. It's a game I feel has potential, and one I'll likely be throwing at my friendslop group before too long. There is also a single player mode if you think it looks fun but lack the friend aspect. Never let your lack of friends stand between you and a good time.
That's your lot for today anyway. I'm eager to hear what people are looking forward to at the moment, and what they're currently playing. Let me know below!
