RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business
Teyon had a rock-bottom moment with its licensed Rambo game in 2014, which disappointed in part because it was a rail shooter, not the FPS players expected.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
There’s a phrase you'll get used to seeing in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, aside from the obligatory notification of failure whenever the titular hero meets her demise. It occurs after a successive number of reawakenings, displayed below a flashing red seal: ‘Madness Descends’.

Killing Floor 3
The best teammates in Killing Floor 3 know how to get the most from doors. Three games in, this series remains a bit of a gleeful throwback, a wave-based horde affair in which monsters appear sporadically while you move around the warren-like levels. Closing a door as a muddle of enemies approaches allows them to pool in one place. It also means that you can then open the door and be greeted by a tidy arrangement of targets, neatly lined up like Christmas carollers. Any singing, though, will be drowned out by the explosion from a well-placed grenade.

Tales Of The Shire: A Lord Of The Rings Game
Making a game about being a hobbit — inviting friends over for meals, gardening and farming, wandering the woods in search of mushrooms — would seem a natural fit with the proliferation of slice-of-life farming games hanging on the coattails of Stardew Valley. And in some ways, it is. Tales Of The Shire is buoyant and brisk. It has just enough subsystems to tickle the mind, while mostly abstaining from the deep economic systems that have defined the genre of late. But given the game's rich source material, and developer Weta Workshop's hands-on experience with the Lord Of The Rings films, it's a shame it doesn't differentiate itself more from others of its ilk. Like a hobbit, it rarely leaves its comfort zone.

Shadow Labyrinth
Going by the 1980 arcade original, Pac-Man can be just about anything. The pixel graphics are spare to the point of abstraction, with the features of our favourite hungry yellow circle defined only by the art on the side of the arcade cabinet. One piece of Atari box art envisions him as a sort of track runner with a lithe, humanoid body, while 1984's Pac-Land imagines a globular yellow fellow in a feathered cap. Bandai Namco’s baffling Shadow Labyrinth offers the most dramatic reinterpretation yet: as a dime-a-dozen floating companion character.

The Drifter
Fate could have dealt Mick Carter a kinder hand. An unexpected catastrophe prompts him to abandon what remains of his family and start wandering a dystopian, near-future Australia, as if grief is something he can simply outrun. This muddled attempt at reprieve then stretches into weeks, months, years, with no word of explanation to his wife, Sarah, who's left to grapple with both their son's death and Mick's disappearance. That is, until a message from his sister, Annie, informs him their mother has passed away. Determined not to miss another funeral, Mick hops onto a freight train headed for his home town. But when he's discovered by a belligerent security team, our stowaway dies for the first time. Then he returns and the hallucinations start.

FBC: Firebreak
What could be better than enjoying a shower with one of your best friends / coworkers? That's right, sharing a shower with TWO of your best friends... This is an oddly common occurrence within FBC: Firebreak, and one that sets the tone of this bizarre title well. FBC is a three-player coop horde shooter, set within the Remedy universe (Alan Wake and Control). More specifically, you play as a member of Firebreak, an elite crew formed to handle the bizarre and supernatural events that take place within The Oldest House.
