Mk11: Aftermath trailer

I’m a little shocked we’re getting this kind of story expansion for a fighting game but that is pretty awesome. I’m glad to see a epic return of Fujin, who I always thought was a underrated badass. Robocop is a interesting touch. It’ll be interesting to see how this expansion plays out. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Hardspace: Shipbreaker Goes into Steam Early Acess June 16th

 

Shipbreaker is one of those games I have been watching and I can tell you plenty about and yet nothing about at the same time. You play as a sort of space scavenger to help humanity gather needed resources from abandoned ships, and how you do it isn’t exactly defined. You get your two major tools and sent on your way. As you progress you can upgrade those tools to be more powerful or reach longer distances and such. This all seems rather interesting, but at the same time, I can’t tell you about any sort of a story or purpose for doing all of this. You will notice in the video however that they do play on a PS4 and XB1 controller while testing, and I can confirm this is because the game is in development for both consoles, Steam Early access is just first as is usually the case. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Snowrunner Out Now on PC, Xbox1 and PS4

Snowrunner is one of those games from Focus Home Interactive and Saber Interactive made for a very niche market of gamers, kind of like Farming Simulator 19. I was lucky enough to get a review code for this one and I can say a few things about it, such as graphically the game is beautiful and it plays well. The rest I will save for the full review but until then, enjoy the launch trailer, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla reveal trailer

I’m the first to admit, while I’ve fallen out of touch with the Assassin’s Creed series, this trailer is pretty damn badass. I’m kind of curious how a viking era Creed game can go. I can’t wait to see what the gameplay looks like. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
