Nightmare Reaper

What even is Nightmare Reaper. Like, what is this. When the boomer shooter revival hit, you probably expected things to stay mostly nostalgic, tired and true formulas with some updates here and there. Project Warlock did this, DUSK did this, ect. Enter Nightmare Reaper, a little game that has been in early access for a few years that has finally reached full release at 1.0 and about a billion new features. It is a large beast that uses roguelike elements without going full roguelike. The classic FPS formula with about a hundred asterisks. A looter shooter where instead of minor number changes, you can potentially get a double barreled shotgun that spews exploding fire balls that turn every single room into a wildfire. It is a lot.

It might also be one of the most innovative and downright thrilling FPS games to see the light of day since ULTRAKILL first appeared with episode one.

Serious Sam 4

A lot has happened in a decade. Croteam had members leave and return, released a demo to show off some ideas they had for Serious Sam 4, realized those ideas were better elsewhere and made The Talos Principle, got the writers of that game to pen SS4‘s story, finally re-announced it as Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass, dropped the subtitle and branding a few months before release, and, due to money, the console versions were delayed for Stadia timed exclusivity. The marketing machine for SS4 was there but not as large as you’d expect, trailers being cagey with showing off details on what the game would contain. There were warning signs everywhere, plus some iffy word of mouth due to some review builds before the day one patch missing tons of content.

AMID EVIL

If you’re familiar with DUSK, you should probably be familiar with the second major FPS New Blood put out. If you’re not, you should change that very quickly. AMID EVIL has a familiar foundation, but it’s a unique beast in a lot of ways. Developed by a variety of devs behind the rocky Rise of the Triad reboot, AMID EVIL is a send up to the likes of Heretic and Hexen, a fantasy themed FPS bloated with monsters and mayhem. Where DUSK benefited more from its unique level design and the little touches it put on the old Quake formula, AMID EVIL succeeds through the tightness of its combat.

Anodyne 2: Return to Dust

Something worth knowing about Sean Han Tani and Marina Kittaka is that they have been very, very busy since the first Anodyne. They’ve been experimenting with genre and content for a good while now, and Anodyne 2: Return to Dust is meant to be a summation of every game they’ve tried making, ranging from PSX homage to narrative game crammed into the Zelda-like base. The end result is one of the most unique games you’ll ever see, less interesting because of how things come together in design, but how the writing and narrative manages to merge the mess of pieces into a cohesive experience. Oh, and don’t worry Anodyne fans, the nonsense secrets and meta-humor are still here, and arguably even more than ever before.

"But... the needs of the many," objected Koraz.

"Flakk the needs of the many, I made a promise." Human Kaf had his head down and his shoulders hunched. "I keep my word. Wanna fight me about that?"

"No," sighed Koraz with a roll of hir eyes. "You'd render me unconscious and continue with your reckless plan anyway."

"Exactly," said Human Kaf. "Now we have established why it's pointless to argue with a Human... why are you doing it?"
