The Walking Dead has a hell of a past with video game adaptations and unless there’s something big in store for the final release of Streets of Survival, it’s looking to stay that way.

Developed by Yarn Owl Studios, Demi and the Fractured Dream is a game very much inspired by The Legend of Zelda, specifically The Wind Waker. Judging from the trailers alone, the toon-shaded look is dazzling, and the protagonist even wears a colorful cloak. The short demo at SGF took us through a small dungeon that felt like a tutorial, but there was nothing particularly challenging about it.

ProbablyMonsters has commanded more attention over the past few months for its unique and varied game output. This year’s Summer Game Fest was a demonstration of this approach, with one of two titles being a story-driven action game that involves beating up Nazis. On that premise alone, it was difficult to turn down the chance to try out a game with a simple but brilliant beat, but I was also interested to explore the uniquely stylized world that ProbablyMonsters had built for this title.

In Forever Ago, you play as an old man named Alfred who has lived quite a life. In the short demo I played, Alfred stops at a gas station that he appeared to have a more than passing connection to. While he’s really just there to grab a few supplies and snacks for the road, Alfred can’t help but think about a previous visit he’s made to that exact same years ago.

With a reported runtime of ninety minutes to two hours, Bub is a short but meaningful narrative adventure game. The developers at Paperfrog, Case Jernigan and Todd Anderson, used their own experiences as struggling artists as inspiration for this evocative indie gem.

At Summer Game Fest, Capcom hosted a behind-closed-doors presentation of a new section in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, along with a separate one-hour demo of another section, and while there are some blemishes we didn’t notice before, the game still looks like yet another winner and was one of the best experiences to be had at Play Days.

My misconception aside, Lazy River is a co-op crafting roguelike game where you and up to three friends must survive an infinite lazy river plagued by water-soluble zombies and security robots gone rogue. You must craft a raft, build weapons, and survive the lazy river to escape.

River City Saga: Journey to the West is one more River City/Kunio-kun fans than roguelite fans in my opinion as the elements from that series really make this game worth playing. For raw action roguelite enjoyment, there are better games for sure.

TOEM 2 has a lot going for it from its short demo alone. I’m so glad I plyed it because, I’m happy to say, it charmed me way beyond expectation and earned a well-deserved wishlist out of me.

If you’re like me, fighting games can be challenging to get into. The gameplay always looks so thrilling, but the time-consuming process of learning how to play your character, along with the frustration of fighting against tough opponents, can leave you feeling disheartened as you lose match after match. Thankfully, the developers of Shot One Fighters seek to remedy the problems that plague this genre.

I had an interesting preview with this game as I knew nothing about its premise, and there weren’t any PR reps or developers from The Pixel Hunt nearby to tell me about the game. Even with no prior information, Ithaca’s…

I felt just about everything but the Gs as I zoomed in and out of clouds, picking enemies out of the sky in Ace Combat 8’s exciting demo.
The first few hours of this game kept things fun, intense, and fast from the moment I hopped in the cockpit. I walked away not only wanting more, but genuinely impressed with both the dog fighting and the chunks of story I saw in between sorties in my first Ace Combat experience.
