One of the most surprising indie games in recent memory was Hotline Miami. It featured lots of violence, an interesting 80′s styling and an addicting style of gameplay. Once Devolver saw how much people loved the first game, they immediately started working on a second. Devolver wanted to get some fan feedback so they brought the game to PAX East and that is where Nigel Lowrie told New Gamer Nation all about the game and what you can expect from the highly anticipated sequel.
Darksiders Genesis, Little Nightmares and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number are also playable from today.
Terrible month. Detroit and Black Ops 3 (available for a limited time) are already in the PS Plus Collection, and Detroit was also a free game on PS Plus years ago. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is terrible. Only the smaller games that were added are good additions.
PS Plus is way better than PS Now right now (quality > quantity) and has been good for a long time, and great since the PS5 released. I was tempted to subscribe to PS Now over the holidays but I just didn't trust in the quality of the service. They need to up their game because the quality of the service is deteriorating. I'm starting to wonder if they're going to ditch PS Now as we know it and basically add it as an extra tier to PS Plus because that's what they've been prioritizing.
Not sure why WWE 2K Battlegrounds was a highlight for this month. I browsed the games in December and it was there/played it.
The game was a massive disappointment, even playing with a friend it was terrible. But we finished it til the end. The game is so buggy and just not much fun a lot of times.
Great for me.
I was looking to play darksiders genesis...it's the last one I need to play. And little nightmares is another one I wanted to try.
The rest I've already played or am not interested. Overall I think they're great additions.
I was disappointed with Darksiders 3. I played for a couple of hours, and deleted it. That is just me though, a lot of people liked it. Also the price is right. Hope you do like it!😁
Yea I'm with you there. The beginning and gameplay feels so different but after a certain point I feel like it got much better.
I played it in classic mode so it would be more similar to other darksiders but man did I die a lot in the beginning due to learning how to play. Came into it fresh from darksiders 2.
Yeah, I am still playing frostpunk from last month...
Heard good things about little nightmares
Looks like you might be looking for the best Devolver Digital games out there? Well, you have managed to come to the right place.
Hotline Miami will probably always be their best series, tbh. For me, they are definitely the best indie game publisher though.
Player 2 looks at the current classification system in Australia and how it needs to improve with the help of gamers across the country.
Great article it was informative.
“Without American style protection of speech, I cannot see those sorts of games ever being approved to be released in Australia unmodified. I am OK with that.”
You undermine your efforts from start with that attitude. Free speech helped with lawsuits but our ratings board has nothing to do with our government. The industry is self regulated. Your classifications are terrible and you should try to change it. Adopt the American industry standard. There is no law involved. That’s why I don’t understand why Americans demand government intervention on things like micro transactions. They are ok with what you have now too I guess.
