In 2020, the video game "Heaven Dust" boldly posed the inquiry, "What would happen if "Resident Evil 1" were presented with a top-down camera perspective?" The resultant offering manifested as a proficient action-adventure, notably more accessible than its muse due to the perpetual visibility of zombies. Presently, the emergence of "Heaven Dust 2" initiates a subsequent query—"What if the "Heaven Dust" narrative unfolded within a more expansive mansion?" Consequently, this sequel lacks the endearing qualities found in its forerunner. "Heaven Dust 2" unfolds in the aftermath of its predecessor, with the protagonist, Steve, awakening from the cryo pod wherein he had been confined after an abduction by corporate operatives. He discovers himself within another mansion besieged by rampant zombies. Regrettably, those anticipating a setting akin to a city immersed in a zombocalypse reminiscent of "Resident Evil 2" will likely find themselves disillusioned by the sequel's thematic choice.

Game: CYBER PUNK 2077 Platform: PC, XBOX, X/S, PS4, PS5 Genre: Action-Adventure, Open World, Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk Released: December 10th, 2020 Overview Not a big fan of the game and dislike individuals who think it's good? That's a reasonable judgment, given the road they chose by releasing it as an unfinished product, and I agree that it's a massive waste of time to assist developers many years later, since it simply fuels their drive to do it again, potentially causing many other developers to dip their toes in money with no product mentality.

SHOULD I PLAY FORT SOLIS? Fort Solis is absolutely worth playing, as long as you know the type of game you’re getting into. And that is, to be clear, a one hundred percent narrative game. Virtually all of the “gameplay” in Fort Solis is made up of walking around the titular creepy abandoned base on Mars, with a small handful of very simple puzzles and quick time events. That said, if you’re down for a creepy, suspenseful story, this one will get under your skin in all the best ways.

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.

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.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of Star Trek or choice-based games, but consider waiting for a patch. Star Trek: Resurgence has solid writing, fleshed-out characters, and high-impact decision-making but technical issues detracted my overall experience. The quality of its story helped make up for some of the gameplay’s shortcomings, but there were still times when it felt frustrating to play. At its best, the game reminded me of the first

Fake Future has an intriguing concept and fantastic visuals, but it's held back by a clunky translation. This sci-fi citybuilder is set in a retro-futuristic version of earth. You control a group of artificial beings known as cybernoids as they work to recolonize Earth. While Fake Future started me off with plenty of quests, it didn't have any sort of tutorial, so it took me a while to get a handle on the gameplay. The in-game text doesn't always make sense, and the unclear quest objectives left me feeling confused and overwhelmed.

Shadowgun Legends is certainly not the most original shooter in the world, indeed it is decidedly derivative in every aspect, but nevertheless it is able to offer an FPS experience of the highest level, probably the best that can be found at the moment on iOS and Android. In fact, we are talking about a game that is not only really beautiful to look at, but above all full of missions, objects, weapons, skills to unlock, with cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes to act as a Tasty icing on the cake.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re at all a fan of Vampire Survivors and its many clones and imitators. Bio Prototype takes the one-tiny-character-versus-hundreds-of-baddies and adds in a healthy dose of science. You play as a lab experiment gone wrong. Instead of just leveling up and unlocking a growing list of power-ups, you earn both internal and external body parts and must work out a functioning evolutionary path for your creation. This extra layer of depth adds a ton to an already addictive genre of games.

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.

SHOULD I PLAY ENDLESS DUNGEON? Do you love action-packed roguelite experiences? And do you mind if they have a little tower defense gameplay layered on top just for variety? If your answer to those questions is yes, then Endless Dungeon certainly deserves a shot. This latest spin-off of Amplitude Studios’ long-running Endless series shouldn’t be confused with 2014’s Dungeon of the Endless, though it’s also an intriguing blend of roguelike and tower defense with a sci-fi setting. But

Welcome to the Future, where the truth is hidden amongst all the lies and deception, and who can you trust? You would think this would be a classic city-builder game, but it's unique in how you build your city upward. Let me ask you something: What happens when AI gains self-awareness and surpasses humanity? Can you live in a world where you can ignore all the hidden things in the background? Can you sit around and accept this Future..?

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.

SHOULD I PLAY GHOSTRUNNER 2? If you love the cyberpunk aesthetic or are looking for something with a similar vibe to play after wrapping up Cyberpunk 2077’s new DLC, then yes, definitely give this one a shot. Ghostrunner 2 is the sequel to a first-person sci-fi ninja game that launched back in 2020. That first game was already an awesome, adrenaline-pumping journey through a messed up neon future, but this one amps everything up to eleven. It is a supremely challenging, brutal, and beautiful game that deserves your attention.

All things considered, I had a great time with Starfield, but it’s easy to see why some people didn’t vibe with the game. It’s filled with empty planets, there are tons of bugs, and it’s way too hard to keep track of side quests. It can still be pretty fun, but it’s clearly not a game that will click with everyone. Or at least, that’s what I used to think. Since then, I’ve realized that Starfield is a massive, multilayered experience that offers much more to do than just the main mission. There are many side missions where I can learn about the people and story of Starfield. I can even visit the official Starfield Discord for tips on how to make the game fun.

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.

This was such a calm and pleasant game and I think would benefit itself greatly with a challenge mode, DLC, or anything else. I'd like to keep playing it over and again, but with 100% completion, it's sort of feels ultimately pointless but still fun? It was more than just your usual deck building experience. You develop a relationship with each character and their characteristics along the journey, making it much more difficult to say goodbye once you've completed the game.
