Although Summer Game Fest is much more focused on online gaming than the E3 it replaced, it has started to grow to such a scale that it’s hard to keep track of everything that’s displayed. Although it is structured around a parade of high-profile live broadcasts, such as Indie Developer Daythe event is complemented by a number of other showcases throughout the week. To make sure nothing slips through the cracks, here’s a collection of games announced, updated, or praised during this hype-filled affair.
About fishing
I had already put on the next fishing simulation from the Water Museum as certified lockbut in case you still need convincing About fishinga new demo is available on Steam. You play a woman whose skills with the penis border on the supernatural. In a strange and sleepy town, you will discover strange and sleepy mysteries while delving into the big.
Beast Cassettes 2002
Announced at the PC Gaming Show, the Cassette Beasts are back, or at least were back, in this new prequel. A riff on pocket monster collecting that didn’t skimp on depth or number of creatures. You will return to millennial London to capture analogue creatures in an increasingly digital world.
Dungeon Lurker
First of all, it’s worth mentioning that the 13AM Games team asked me to patch them with artist Plastiboo to create a beautiful print advertisement. But even if I hid in this dank and completely cold dungeon, it would still attract my forbidden gaze. Inspired by Saturn games like Guardian Heroesyou’ll dive into a lost retro game with layers of secrets to surprise.
Twilight 2.0
A sequel to worshipa dark sci-fi strategy game, you play as a drone pilot whose job is to salvage wreckage, survive in an unforgiving universe, and secure survivors whose bodies are frozen in cryogenic sleep. All presented in strangely sterile interfaces, your command post light years from civilization.
Pod Prison
What’s an indie game without a low-poly soulslike. And ooo this one looks like a keeper. Resurrected in porcelain, you and your blade must fight your way through a baroque world of doll-like soldiers to find your loved one.
Sign city
Little Sign city was featured during its Game Fest debut. However, the pedigree of Sleeping Citizen creator Gareth Damian Martin and the promise of a cyberpunk RPG overrun with fungal weirdness make this Thatcher-inspired gothic nightmare an easy one to watch.
Virtue and a hammer
I understand that we are at the point in general practice where “crush it into pieces” has become the default philosophy. In this action game, you return to your hometown to find that it is overrun by androids, an army exploiting local history and memory for their own purposes. Having to survive the onslaught of robots and your own complicated nostalgia, you must rely on the only truly reliable thing in this world: a big hammer.
