Let’s work backwards here. First, here’s the opening chunk of Strange Brigade:
Remember Donut County? If you don’t, here’s the gist: it’s a puzzle game where you’re the hole in the ground.
There’s no fresh gameplay trailers for Two Point Hospital, and I don’t want to bug you with someone’s running commentary over the whole top. So next best thing: developers commentating their own gameplay. Interesting tip about using wall space for benches rather than a traditional waiting area, too.
Fantasy Flight did a livestream a little while ago of the Lord of the Rings LCG, in case you missed that. It’s a good way to get an idea of what you’ll be in for.
And just to close it off: some uncommentated footage from MHGU.
The big weeks are starting to arrive: a meaty co-op shooter, some fun indies, consoles getting the superb DOS 2 and some neat Switch ports. See any that takes your fancy?
