SHOULD I PLAY LIGHTYEAR FRONTIER? If you’re a fan of farming and crafting games, you should definitely add this title to your wishlist. Lightyear Frontier is an open world farming game with a sci-fi twist. After landing on a distant planet, you can build a homestead, farm alien crops, and restore the local ecosystem. I had a great time playing through the demo on my own, and I can’t wait to try the multiplayer when the full game is out.

Excellent game. Apart from the camera angle need to be improved and the character's movement is a little stiff, Almost no other shortcomings. Although I'm not a fan of the series Star War, hahaha, I prefer the Marvel. But the game is quite well done. Deserve to a game franchise of Star War. About the gameplay, you can basically think of him as Overwatch, a multiplayer shooter game with character skills. You can choose assassin, damage, supporter, and tank if you want. The modes are also very varied, Conquer the point or deliver the vehicle. The scene is well-design. There are many bunkers that can be used and items can be interactive.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it especially if you like games like Hades or Hi-Fi Rush. City of Beats is an exhilarating, rhythmic looter-shooter roguelite where you beat up robots to the sound of music while dodging barrages of gunfire. If you can get over a few balance issues, it offers an action-packed (if short) experience. TIME PLAYED I played City of Beats for four hours. I struggled a lot in the first three hours, but after unlocking an overpowered weapon and changing the difficulty level, I managed to beat the main expedition and all three bosses in thirty minutes. This led me to unlock the challenge mode where I played for another forty-some minutes.

It's always exciting to get early access to a cool-looking game, but sometimes it's a little too early. Such is the case with Equinox: Dawn's Edge, a sci-fi gacha that's available for download in an early beta form now. This game makes a good first impression with some flashy cinematics and fast-moving auto-combat, but what awaits beyond those early moments is...pretty rough. From unfinished and untranslated text to missing sound effects to framerate drops and crashes, it's clear that Equinox is not remotely ready to be played by a wide audience at this point. Heck, the game didn't even give me an awesome cinematic when I pulled the gacha. How is a gacha game supposed to get people hyped to spend money without that?!

It's a 2.5D metrodvania shoot'em-up starring a mecha warrior who uses five elements: metal, wood, water, fire and thunder to fight against an evil bissfire mecha. The levels are well structured and diversified, unfortunately being in beta the levels are limited. By AlessiaBNERD

"Call of Duty 2024: Black Ops 6" or what it will entail. However, based on the past "Call of Duty" releases, it is likely that the game will be a first-person shooter game set in a military or war-themed environment with a focus on multiplayer gameplay. It may also include a single-player campaign mode with an engaging storyline and a variety of multiplayer modes, including team deathmatch, domination, and search and destroy.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it for now, unless you’re very excited about social deduction games and the goofy sci-fi aesthetics work better for you than they do for me. Dubium has a lot of good things going for it, but the theme and visual style seemed totally at odds with the idea of scrambling to get a space station back online in order to destroy hazardous materials stored on board—while always looking over my shoulder for a fellow crew member waiting for the right moment to kill me.

So far so good. Perfect Sci Fi horror shooter. 📖 Storyline: 10/10 🎨 Graphics: 10/10

This is not my kind of game, but it's still one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. Perhaps the most impressive feature was one I stumbled upon by mistake. Pop-up windows, which are convenient if you're just doing that task, can also be moved around for when you're doing something else. The tutorial is extremely complete. It explains each step with an animated tutorial that doesn't take over or block the remaining UI. Blocking out the UI makes things easier to see, but it also makes them easier to forget. This tutorial was handled extremely well in every way.

SHOULD I PLAY FARSIDERS? With plenty of better action RPGs around right now, it’s probably safe to skip Farsiders. While the artwork and soundtrack are delightful, the story is a jumbled mess of ideas and the English translation is poorer still. There are some neat ideas for combat, but the dull AI and sludgy pace keep it from ever feeling exciting. TIME PLAYED I played Farsiders for two and a half hours. I traveled through a portal from a violent cyberpunk city to a fantastical, alien version of Camelot, where King Arthur and his knight Lancelot sent me to retrieve moonstone fragments that were meant to be attached to Excalibur. I recovered the first fragment after fighting my way through a treehouse casino deep in a swamp, and I’ve gained several new skills and spells as I leveled up my character, Camilla.

SHOULD I PLAY DRIFTOPIA? If you’re a fan of crafting and like survival games, this is definitely a title to watch! Driftopia is a crafting and survival game set on a world that’s almost completely covered in water. To gather resources, I had to swim through dangerous waters, search for goods underwater, and drift from one island to the next on my trusty raft. The current version of the game is pretty rough, but the concept shows a lot of promise, and since the game is still in beta, I’m not overly concerned about the bugs. These issues definitely need to be addressed before the full release, but Driftopia is still shaping up to be a very addictive game. 

The market has become a cacophony of futuristic cityscapes and neon-lit landscapes in an era saturated with many cyberpunk-themed games. The challenge to captivate the attention of discerning gamers has escalated, demanding a unique and compelling approach within the cyberpunk genre. Amidst this digital maelstrom, "Minds Beneath Us" emerges as a beacon of innovation and intrigue, poised to redefine the boundaries of the sci-fi thriller experience. Transporting players into a meticulously crafted dystopian future, "Minds Beneath Us" unfolds a narrative where the symbiosis of humans and artificial intelligence has given rise to a captivating and unsettling reality. The game paints a vivid picture of sprawling skylines adorned with futuristic architectures that seamlessly blend the organic and the synthetic. Neon signs flicker with an ethereal glow, casting an otherworldly ambiance over the sprawling metropolis as the backdrop to this immersive gaming experience.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it. Exoprimal combines the fast-paced sci-fi shooting action of Titanfall 2 with the team-based gameplay of Overwatch and adds its own twist with dinosaurs and multidimensional time travel. Even with some issues—slow progression, unbalanced characters, and messy gameplay modes—this mix of great elements from other games with its own unique style provides an insanely entertaining time.

For a certain type of dorky kid growing up in the '90s, the Stargate franchise was a formative gateway into goofy-yet-fun, low-budget sci-fi adventures. Beginning with the 1994 movie Stargate, the series quickly expanded out into multiple TV shows, comics, cartoons, books, and yes, video games. And while there hasn't been much going on with this IP in recent years, that's finally changing this week, as an all-new Stargate game has just launched...and you can even play the first mission for free.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of sci-fi, analog horror, or just like narrative-focused games. Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is a direct sequel to the original Oxenfree, but it’s surprisingly friendly to newcomers. Set five years after the first game, Lost Signals follows two brand-new characters: small town handyman Jacob and stoic screw-up Riley. There are moments that will hit harder if you’ve played the original, but it’s not overly reliant on old material, and it should make for a satisfying experience even if you treat it as a standalone game.

SHOULD I PLAY MINDS BENEATH US? This is definitely one to check out if you’re interested in adventure games or cyberpunk stories. Minds Beneath Us is a modern, more down-to-earth spin on Ghost in the Shell. It’s set a couple decades in the future in an unnamed city in Asia where AI controls many aspects of daily lives and shadowy agencies use data ghosts to possess targets and spy on their enemies. It’s stylish and atmospheric, and the story had me hooked right away—even though I found some of the pixel-hunting a bit tedious.

SHOULD I PLAY ATLAS WEPT? If you’re a fan of EarthBound, Undertale, and other quirky turn-based RPGs, this is definitely a title you should take a look at. Atlas Wept is a pixelated RPG with strong retro vibes. The story alternates between two distinct casts of characters as they embark on a strange adventure. The groups haven’t crossed paths quite yet in my playthrough, but I suspect they’ll run into each other eventually. There’s a free demo available on Steam, so if this game has sparked your curiosity, you should definitely give it a try.
