Generally it’s arduous to be within the video games business and preserve your sense of pleasure and discovery. Quite a lot of what’s popping out are iterative franchise entries and triple-A titles. That’s nice — who doesn’t love chocolate ice cream? However generally it’s good to have the enjoyment of tasty butter pecan for the primary time. I felt pleasure like that this week when Xbox held its ID@Xbox Showcase this week, which confirmed off a number of the enjoyable indie video games coming to Xbox and Recreation Cross in 2024 (and past). Between that present and the Nintendo Indie World showcase earlier in April, I’m feeling very excited for the bizarre indie video games which are popping out this yr.
The video games proven on the ID@Xbox present embody weird horror-adventure recreation Centum, foolish co-op shape-based puzzler All You Want is Assist, “snack ‘n’ slash” RPG (the dev’s phrases, not mine) Hangry and the turn-based rhythm PRG Keylocker. Say what you’ll about these video games — there’s one thing in there for nearly anybody, and also you’d by no means mistake any of these video games for the opposite. One specific indie recreation — Lorelei and the Laser Eyes — is considered one of my favourite new video games I’ve performed to date this yr, so I stay up for what else the indie scene is giving us this yr.
In the meantime, we over at GamesBeat are prepping for our upcoming GamesBeat Summit occasion in Los Angeles on Might 20-21. Your favourite video games writers are going to be moderating, talking, interviewing and simply typically hanging on the market, and I’m wanting ahead to talking concerning the present state (and future outlook) for the video games business.
In private information, I’ve lastly began taking part in Tales of Kenzera: Zau and I’m additionally nonetheless dipping into Stellar Blade. Each scratch very completely different itches for me as a gamer, so it’s very bizarre to be taking part in each on the identical time, however I’m not going to let that dampen my enjoyment of both one. I’ve additionally gone again and began a brand new farm in Stardew Valley (which appears suspiciously just like the final one I constructed within the recreation), as a result of I heard that the latest replace has nearly remodeled it into a distinct recreation. It’s kinda good to sink again into that outdated acquainted cozy area once more.
