In a couple of days, it'll be a new year, which will bring with it a wealth of new game releases, but before that, we have a couple of days left of this year and a few slow days or possibly weeks in the new year. This week's release includes knights with machineguns, bottle caps, also with guns, a futuristic cowboy, too many alien bugs and what appears to be a new take on the classic game RISK. See you in the new year.

Boomcestors / Monday 30 December / Early Access

The Legend of Cyber Cowboy / Wednesday 1 January
The wild west gets even wilder with the development of cybernetic technology, and it's up to you to take down the bandit gangs turning this tech against honest and hard-working locals!

Yet I tried really hard to find something that wasn't a sex game or worse...
The top four releases on Monday are all sex games... followed by:
Ok, there was a Japanese only game ahead of that...
 
That Alice-forgot-to-take-her-pills game ..wow. I'm too intoxicated to play that.

So yeah, I had to scroll past a lot of 'games'..to find this one

That game was included two weeks ago, but they moved the release date it seems

Design looks sooo much like A Wolf Among Us !

Studio did nothing good so the mixed review is not a surprise.
 
Thank you for your sacrifice Mr.LostSwede, the list was probably painful to put together. Your arms must be tired from so much scraping o7.

This time of the year, it's not easy to find anything that looks remotely interesting, although I try my best.
 
We need 3000$ cards for this? :D

Gotta be able to see dem tiddies in 4K with RTX on :roll:
 
Things aren't gonna pick up again until the second half of January. And even then it's mostly just indie games and remasters until February. And then in February we're getting Civ 7, Kingdom Come 2, Avowed, and Assassin's Creed Shadows in the same week. :eek:

Well, that's usually how it is, nothing, nothing, nothing and then all at once.
