This Week In Games: That One Weird Game You Want To Play

Hey remember that super weird game? The one that stole the show at Microsoft’s E3 conference?

Yeah that one. The one where it was all trippy and stuff.

It’s coming out this week. You should probably play it. I know I will.

What else? Well Batman: Arkham Knight has a ‘Game of the Year’ edition. Also, Quadrilateral Cowboy is out. That’s… about… it.


Audio Arena (PC)

What is it? A VR game where the game itself is generated through music.
Should you care? That’s a helluva cool high concept. No idea if it’s any good.


Batman: Arkham Knight Game of the Year Edition (Xbox One/PS4)

What is it? It’s Batman: Arkham Knight… game of the year edition.
Should you care? Really holding myself back from making a snarky comment about its ‘Game of the Year’ status. Despite the PC debacle, it really was a pretty cool game.


Headlander (PC)

What is it? It’s a new Double Fine game with a 70s sci-fi aesthetic.
Should you care? This looks really interesting. I would be checking it out if I were you.


Professional Farmer 2016 (Xbox One)

What is it? Well I think you might hazard a guess from the title.
Should you care? For the longest time I’ve been considering playing one of these games… why not this one?


Quadrilateral Cowboy (PC)

What is it? Describes itself as a single-player adventure in a cyberpunk world. This looks and sounds pretty cool.
Should you care? It’s got a lot of hype coming in and has won a bunch of awards. Keen as a bean.


We Happy Few (Xbox One/PC, Early Access)

What is it? Remember that scary as shit game Microsoft showed off during E3? Yeah, it’s that one.
Should you care? Holy goddamn shit yes. This is the game I’ll be playing this week I reckon.
