New releases and eShop discounts (week 30)
Posted 23 Jul 2020 at 12:10 by Dennis Tummers
When Crysis originally released on the PC back in 2007 it was notorious for the demanding system requirements it had. Fast forward to July 2020, and we can play the game on a handheld machine as Crysis Remastered is out on the Nintendo Switch this week. Thanks, technological progress!
Most horror games make you the protagonist who has to destroy the evil threat. In Devolver's CARRION the roles are reversed, and you take control of the creature that is feared. If horror is not your genre maybe the 2D action platformer Panzer Paladin is worth checking out, as it reminds of titles such as Castlevania and Shovel Knight.
Finally, the Double Gold Points Fest sees three new titles added to the list. You can read the press statement below, and you will also find the full list of new games under the highlights.
