King's Bounty II

Release Date: August 24, 2021

What's King's Bounty II about?

King's Bounty returns in its second installment, so fans of turn-based strategies with RPG elements should be satisfied. The same studio that delivered the original is responsible for the follow-up. This part takes us to a new world, Antara, where a mysterious plague is spreading. It kills and deforms all living things it comes in contact with. The threat of civil war will also loom in the background.

Is King's Bounty II worth it?

In King's Bounty II, we will have to control one of three heroes. Each has their own story, goals and motivations, and character. While making decisions, we will influence our character, which, in turn, will reflect on how the environment and NPCs will react to it. The core of the game, however, will be primarily turn-based combat, in which environment will paly a significant role.

Psychonauts 2

Release Date: August 25, 2021

What is Psychonauts 2?

Psychonauts 2 is a continuation of an extremely specific adventure game from 2005, which we had to wait a long time for. Tim Schafer, who has already provided us with such games as Grim Fandango, Brütal Legend and Broken Age, is also responsible for the new installment. Fans, therefore, should not be disappointed!

Madness awaits in Psychonauts 2?

In Psychonauts 2 we will once again take on the role of Razputin Aquato, a specialist in trips to other people's minds. This time, he has to save the eponymous organization, which he's finally managed to join as a full-fledged member. From the gameplay standpoint, we can count on a classic three-dimensional platformer with environmental puzzles, exploration and fighting with unusual opponents. In skirmishes with the latter, the parapsychic powers of the main character will come in handy.

New World

Release Date: August 31, 2021

What is the New World about?

New World is the latest production from Amazon, and also a full-fledged MMORPG. The storyline takes players to the eponymous new world known as Aeternum. Once there, you'll quickly find that the wilderness isn't entirely empty – mysterious creatures herald considerable danger, but the biggest threat will be other people.

Will New World save the MMORPG genre?

New World is based on competition between players. Each player decides which of the three competing factions they want to join. Of course, nothing stops you from joining guilds to represent your side. This is important because New World allows you to occupy land and reap the benefits. Another element distinguishing this MMORPG is a specific combat system, focused on fast and heavy attacks, as well as blocking and dodging.

Rustler

Release Date: August 31, 2021

What is Rustler?

Rustler is simply a medieval, tongue-in-cheek GTA. And there's no exaggeration here, as the creators themselves called their game "Grand Theft Horse." We will play a criminal trying to survive in a brutal, feudal world. Get ready for a ton of churlish humor and running from the police in a carriage. The medieval police, of course!

Why should you check out Rustler?

Rustler is a sort of love letter to the first two installments of GTA. We have a top-down view, as well as an open world waiting to be explored. Apart from that, a lot of quests were prepared along with quite an interesting story campaign, in which we'll have to attack merchants or steal horses. There will also be fighting, during which we will use not only fists, but also melee and ranged weapons. Combat is are based primarily on reaction speed and dexterity.
