It’s A Good Week If You Like Games That Let You Play As An Animal https://ift.tt/DPvMsgQ After Gamescom Opening Night Live and the Future Games Show, we can't help noticing that there are multiple titles coming up that let players either assume control of an animal or play anthropomorphic characters who resemble human/animal hybrids. To keep track of these upcoming titles, we ran down a full list of animal-centric games below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuYhh4zSTlA Amphibian Developer : Jarcorp Interactive Systems : PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch Release Date : 2028 Amphibian is a retro RPG that casts players as humanoid frogs on a quest to save their world.

How A New PvP Horror Game Plans To Prevent Players From Being Jerks

How A New PvP Horror Game Plans To Prevent Players From Being Jerks https://ift.tt/ZiIyKe2

The asymmetrical horror genre has exploded in recent years. Formerly a space inhabited by Dead By Daylight (DBD) almost exclusively, it now includes several major counterparts, such as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, and Hunt: Showdown.

In some alternate universe, it might today be DBD's biggest competitor. But a slew of unfortunate circumstances led to the game never quite establishing a solid foundation.

Launching in 2018 exclusively on Discord during the brief period in which the messaging app tried (and failed) to take on Steam as a PC gaming marketplace made community-building highly improbable. Players rejected the Steam alternative, as they tend to with seemingly all others, which, for a multiplayer game like Last Year: The Nightmare, was a death knell.

In 2020, the pandemic led to a prospective publishing deal collapsing at the eleventh hour, which tore up the game's content roadmap. Combined, these unfortunate missteps ultimately killed the studio, Elastic Games.
