We went hands-on with Fate/Extra Record to see how this cult RPG from the PSP era has changed in this enhanced and expanded remaster during Tokyo Game Show.
This new version of True Crime wipes the slate clean from the previous
two titles in every way – a new proprietary engine, a new narrative
direction, and a new tone that leaves the campy action of its
predecessors in the rearview mirror.
Super
Meat Boy is as bizarre as it sounds. You play as a cube of sentient
meat, in love with a young lady made of bandages, who is spirited away
by an evil fetus in a jar wearing a tuxedo. Really.
Fully deserving a nod in the visual art category, Limbo stands out amongst more traditional puzzle/platformers by complementing simple gameplay mechanics with an eerie and engrossing world.
A coming-of-age story of sorts, Owlboy stars a young owl apprentice
named Otus who has a massive weight placed on his shoulders – the
responsibility of saving his idyllic floating village from encroaching
sky pirates.
Bloody, fast-paced and stylish, Shank is about as beautiful
as they come. Sketchy and subdued 2D environments are contrasted by
vivid and exaggerated character design that feel freshly ripped from a
graphic novel.
Though my hands-on time with the new campaign at X10 didn’t involve reuniting
with Bill and company, I did battle through treacherous sewers,
encounter a new uncommon common, and play with a nasty new weapon.
