EZA curates August games: What are you anticipating? What's worth checking out?
-
Humankind (August 17th) - This seems like a Civilization-like strategy game I could get really invested in. I've played a lot of Civilization, I even bought Civ 6 again this year on Switch to play with a friend.
Also Psychonauts 2 on the 25th.
-
No More Heroes 3. don't care about anything else in August.
-
I'm really surprised no one wrote this:
12 August. Since the announcement I can't wait for it. I hope it won't be one of those situations where final game is dissapointment for a really cool idea and visuals. I'm looking at you My Friend Pedro.
-
Hades, 12 minutes and Psychonauts 2 are coming to Game Pass in August and I'm equally excited to play them. Have a feeling Psychonauts is going to be goty calibre.
-
@phbz ooo didn't realise psychonauts 2 comes out august. I'll play that too
-
@phbz Didn't realise 12 minutes was on Gamepass. Microsoft have been killing it with these day one indies lately.
-
@paulmci27 I'm so spoiled that it took me a few days until I decided to buy Death's Door because I was annoyed that it didn't release on Game Pass.
-
How is it? I'm planning to begin it soon.
-
@scotty It's really really good but the atmosphere/world didn't resonate with me as much as I would like. Which is a shame because level design and gameplay are near perfect. At €20 is mandatory and for anyone not sharing my nitpicks it will be a goty contender for sure.
-
Yep, Psychonauts 2 and 12 Minutes for me - currently going through Psychonauts for the first time in preparation, really looking forward to both.
-
@miserableperson I played maybe about half of Psychonauts 1 a long time ago and it was sublime, I hope you enjoy it. I'll probably check out Psychonauts 2 later in the year or next year.
-
Nothing jumps out to me, Hoa and Baldo are on my radar but I'm not sold on either of them yet.
12 Minutes could turn out great but I just checked and turns out it's Xbox/PC only, so I'll have to wait for a future port either way.
I predict No More Heroes 3 will not be my jam at all, so barring an unexpected shadow drop this could be an empty month for me.
-
Not forgetting that Dodgeball Academia arrives on Game Pass today. I like Dodgeball and not just the film with Vince Vaughn, Rip Torn, Christine Taylor and Ben Stiller in it. Could be worth checking out:
-
It was always my favourite game as a kid. Hid&Seek was close second.
