4 Gaming Recommendations For June 2022 & Beyond
Regardless of whether or not you are still quarantining to any extent, odds are that some of your favorite dining and entertainment spots are still not open like they used to be. In turn, you are likely consuming digital and streaming-based content like you were in mid and late 2020.
Fortunately, video games are still in a “golden age” of sorts. No matter your console of choice, the games these days are amazing, including the music used in them. And even if most of the video game developers were forced to change up how they make their games as of late, there are still plenty of new and exciting things for gamers to be psyched about, no matter how much gaming you do. Below is a look at some recent gaming industry developments which recently hit my radar.
If you are nostalgic about era of 16 Bit video games, prepare to fall in love again with the Switch version of retro classic Biomotor Unitron. The first RPG launched for the Neo Geo Pocket Color and now available on Nintendo Switch, the game can be labeled as a “dungeon crawler.” Its musical score remains epic, while the gameplay and graphics hold a cult status.
Mad Streets is the kind of game that makes you crack a smile as your character punches someone in the face, It is a physics-based party game, as meshed with a brawler, feeling like an evolution to the brawler game genre. It carries a deeper system that allows skilled players to direct their blows for face-crunching knockout animations that wouldn’t look out of place in MMA highlights.
