"Is Aragami 2 rough around the edges? You bet. Does it lack challenge? Unfortunately. But, that doesn't mean that it isn't a heck of a lot of fun. In fact, its arcade-style approach to stealth gameplay had me hooked and I'm looking forward to more sneaky action." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Lince Works, the studio behind enjoyable stealth-action games Aragami and Aragami 2, has announced its imminent closure following what it calls a "particularly difficult" couple of years.
Lince Works was founded in 2014 and released its debut title, Aragami's first installment, two years later. It proved successful enough that a sequel arrived in 2021, and the studio revealed it had started focusing on "brand-new adventures" in September last year.
Now, however, in a message shared on Twitter, Lince Works has announced it will "effectively stop the development of new projects indefinitely, starting this April."
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon has a new game sale on several good titles that heavily discounts games like Monark, The Quarry, and more for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch gamers right now!"
For the month of September 2022, we have the complete list of games that will be removed from the Xbox Game Pass by September 15.
Playing The Artful Escape at the moment. Has to be the most inappropriately titled game I've ever played.
Flynn: Son of Crimson has been a very enjoyable game. I'm nearing the end after playing off and on for a week - definitely enough time for someone to beat it before it's off.
Level design and combat are great, and I love the music and art style, even if overall game design is a bit tropey (enemy variety = different color sprites, battle encounters feel like they're there to be there, the "Scourge" levels with the floating hammer chasing you are super cheesy).
Why do they remove titles? I’m less likely to jump into a huge game like FFXIII if I know it is only available for a limited time - and never knowing when that time might end.
Uh-oh. Looks like I better download A Plague Tale: Innocence and give it a playthrough soon.
