It’s another week of interesting new game releases, ports of classics, and sequels. We’ve even got Night Trap!
It’s a good week for people who like adventure games of all shapes and sizes. Night Trap, the famous game that helped kick off Senate hearings in the 1990s, is coming to the Nintendo Switch in a moment of bizarre closure. Shenmue 1 & 2 are landing on several platforms so that a whole new generation of people can experience their, uh, methodical gameplay.
Near and dear to my heart, though, is The Low Road, an adventure game that I stumbled on and played for the PC earlier this year. It’s a funny, conspiratorial game that really pushes all the writing buttons that I like in a game. It’s hitting the Switch, and I’m excited.
There’s a lot of other hotly anticipated stuff, too, like Guacamelee 2! and Little Dragons Cafe, so there’s something for everyone. Anyway, here’s a list of some games coming out in the near future!
