Papers, Please
Platform: Vita/PC
They said it couldn't be done, but the award-winning bureaucracy sim Papers, Please is coming to the Vita. Now console g🍰amers can have a crack at turning desperate people away from a land of opportunity wait, now I'm depressed.
Goat Simulator
Platform: Xbox One/PC
The game that stole the hearts of thousands, Goat Simulator is the best game in which you play as a goat. Crash into things, blow stuff up, flip around in the air--you know, goat stuff. You will believe a goat c༺an fly, now on the Xbox One!
Gunscape
Platform: Xbox One/PC
A 🏅overly-simple explanation of Gunscape is 𓆏that it's Minecraft plus guns. But it's more than that. It lets you create the maps, the modes, the guns, the characters--pretty much everything in the game is moddable and shareable.
Massive Chalice
Platform: Xbox One/PC
Massive Chalice is t☂he latest game from the mind that brought us the magnificent tower-defense game Iron Brigade. It's a turn-based strategy game that takes place over generations--choices you make will determine your family's lineage and the abilities you rec🍨eive. It's like Game of Thrones meets Final Fantasy Tactics.
Inside
Platform: Xbox One
Playdead's Limbo was an excellent bit of atmospheric puzzle platforming, so it makes sense that its latest game Inside is so highly anticipated. Not mu🙈ch is known about it, save for the pedigree of the studio and the similarly bleak aesthetic, but it's almost better that way.
Knight Squad
Platform: Xbox One/PC
Currently on Steam Early Access, Knight Squad is described by the developers as a cross betw⛦een the multiplayer combat of Bomberman and fantasy-fueled close-range combat of Gauntlet.
The Tomorrow Children
Platform: PlayStation 4
Q-Games has delighted gamers since the PlayStation 3's early days with their PixelJunk series, and its next release looks a bit differ🧔ent. It's a 3D exploration and crafting game that looks s⛄imultaneously grim and cutesy, filled with communism and giant monsters. This one's a bit weird, but I can't wait to find out more.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
Platform: Xbox One/PC
Winner of seve♌ral awards (including being honored as a part of 2013's PAX 10), Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a unique♔ co-op game that asks players to man multiple sets of controls in a space station to fend off invading waves of fighters. You will probably die (as will your lover) trying.
#IDARB
Platform: Xbox One
#IDARB (or, It Draws a Red Box) started out as exactly that--a red box. Now, it's a fully functional eight-player jetpack-powered arena game, thanks to the fans who have submit𒆙ted ideas, created characters, and influenced the development of the game.
No Time to Explain
Platform: Xbox One/PC
Starting as a free flash game, No Time to Explain evolved into a manic, super-hard platformer filled with time paradoxes, giant crabs, and lots and lots of spikes. And dꦑinosaurs riding other dinosaurs.
