This Week In Games: Evolve Or Die, Or Learn To Travel Through Time

And out of nowhere comes an absolute humdinger of a week with more games that you can throw a metaphorical stick at. Seriously: Evolve, Monster Hunter 4, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. That’s a helluva week, especially for February. This feels like a mirage in the middle of the desert.


A.V. (PC)

What is it? It’s a first-person stealth-puzzle-musical-adventure game. Wow.
Should you care? I’m actually really intrigued by this. Watch the trailer at the link above. This looks top notch.


Barbarian Brawl (PC)

What is it? A multiplayer slasher that looks a bit… basic.
Should you care? I can’t really see a compelling reason to bother with this one. It looks well-made though.


Cubicity (PC)

What is it? Nifty little puzzle game where you play as a man who places cubes in particular arrangements.
Should you care? The above description sucks! Just click on the link. This looks interesting.


Don Bradman Cricket (Xbox One/PS4)

What is it? The only console cricket game gets a bit of spit and polish, just in time for the Cricket World Cup.
Should you care? Not much competition in the cricket genre. Not terrible.


Evolve (Xbox One/PS4)

What is it? A team-based shooter with a cool asymmetric game concept.
Should you care? Everyone seems to love this game. I felt like it was solid, but didn’t ‘feel’ great. Most likely people will enjoy this.


Harold (PC)

What is it? This is a well-made platformer/puzzler thing.
Should you care? Seems to have super high production values and looks like a lot of fun.


Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (3DS)

What is it? It’s that game where you hunt monsters. It’s stupidly compelling and it’s massive in Japan.
Should you care? Yeah, you should definitely care. Monster Hunter is great.


Plazma Being (PC)

What is it?A clever little physics based platformer. Looks cool.
Should you care? Hardly going to change the world, but this looks worth playing at least.


Samudai (PC)

What is it? It’s a 2D fighter-type thing along the same lines as Nidhogg. With cats.
Should you care? I love games like Nidhogg, your mileage may vary.


Terraria (PS4)

What is it? I can’t believe this getting a retail release on PS4. So weird!
Should you care? Yeah, Terraria is cool. I’d just get it on PC if I was you.


The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D (3DS)

What is it? It’s that Zelda game about time-travel and weirdness.
Should you care? I’m super hyped about playing this. I missed it first time round, so I’m super keen for this remake.
