Looking to scratch the twin-stick shooter itch from being inside all the time? Then look no further than HyperParasite, a new action game from Trologbytes Games. The hook? You play as an alien parasite capable of infecting other NPCs and controlling them in a retro 80's meets cyberpunk style setting.
The days are starting to blend together here at Co-Optimus HQ, but based on my series of chalk lines homemade calendar, I think the weekend is about to start. There was a small blip of game releases that happened a few weeks ago, and it seems that the Co-Opticrew is trying to wring every last morsel of entertainment out of them. Hard times, indeed.
After an extensive five-year development journey (three of which were spent in Early Access), developer Awesome Games Studio is finally ready to, uh, unleash its creation upon the world. Fury Unleashed, an action/platformer/roguelike played out over a series of procedurally generated comic book panels, will enter its final form on May 8th.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint was launched last fall to very little fanfare. It seemed to fly a bit under the radar, though, that's what a good Ghost does. To that end with everyone cooped up indoors and social distancing and whatnot, Ubisoft have offered players a great opportunity to enjoy some online co-op with friends - and those friends don't even need to purchase the game.
Surprise co-op hit Spintires: MudRunner is getting a sequel and developer Saber Interactive is trading in the browns for whites. SnowRunner is the game's official sequel that changes not only the visuals, but improves on just about every aspect of the original game.
The chaos enthusiasts over at Team17 have pumped out tons of extra Overcooked! 2 content since its original release, and they sure would love to spread it to the world. Perhaps it's a gesture of good will, or maybe they just enjoy being the cause of kitchen-themed panic, but either way, they're releasing a new "Gourmet Edition" of the title on April 7th.
Last night's Twitch Stream had Locke and Nick taking on the family friendly co-op game called Biped, and somehow made the entire stream very family unfriendly. The game puts players into the legs of a pair of robots as they traverse environments and timing puzzles together. Sounds easy in practice, but the game requires careful coordination and patience as we quickly learned.
Family friendly co-op games are often tough to come by, traditionally relegated to the LEGO series. But today we've got a brand new release for a brand new children's series on Disney Junior called Gigantosaurus.
NEXT Studios have launched a two player co-op platformer this week on Steam called Biped. The family friendly game is perfect for your quarantine couch or online co-op adventures while you ride out the COVID-19 wave.
The Co-Opticrew's going whole hog on this weekend with a slew of intense, over-the-top video games. First off, we'll be RIPPING the arms off DEMONS, then we plan on CRANKIN' some baseballs into the STRATOSPHERE. Once that's done, we'll be focusing on ways to FINANCE OUR HOME LOANS with RESPONSIBLE PAYMENT PLANS, and afterward, we'll get back to SLAYING katana-wielding GHOSTS.
In these unprecedented times during the Corona virus outbreak that is plaguing the world, many of us are stuck in doors due to government mandated "stay at home" orders. While many schools are attempting to offer remote learning possibilities for children, not all have the access or attention the fully get engaged. Microsoft's Minecraft game is hoping to help a little bit by offering free educational content through the Minecraft marketplace.
Torchlight III, previously known under the moniker Torchlight Frontiers, recently pivoted away from its MMO-style goals and back toward an experience more akin to its predecessors. The game's headed for release this summer and, in light of that, developer Echtra Games is shedding more light on its inner workings.
