This Week In Games: Your Redemption Arrives

Red Dead Redemption 2 is out this week.

There are other games – Windjammers hits the Switch this week too – but if we’re being honest, it’s all about the Wild West.

Here’s Red Dead, and every other game that decided not to give Rockstar a wide berth:

  • Windjammers (Switch)
  • AquaTV (Switch)
  • Just Dance 2019 (PS4, XBO, Switch)
  • Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle (Switch)
  • Black & White: Bushido (Switch)
  • 7 Billion Humans (Switch)
  • 911 Operator (Switch)
  • Eternum Ex (Switch)
  • Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales (PC)
  • Project Highrise (Switch)
  • Beat Boxers (PC)
  • Disgaea 5 Complete (PC)
  • Fleet Star V (PC)
  • Abha: Light on the Path (PC)
  • Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4, XBO)
  • Spintires: Mudrunner American Wilds (PS4, XBO)
  • PAW Patrol: On A Roll (PS4, XBO)
  • My Hero One’s Justice (PS4, XBO)
  • Minecraft: Master Collection (XBO)
  • Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood (PS4)

Right. Let’s go through trailers for some of the indies (and Red Dead), starting with the Switch version of Project Highrise. 911 Operator in particular looks … a bit more than expected.

Plenty of studios giving Red Dead plenty of room, as you’d expect. 911 Operator could be entertaining if you enjoy that type of management sim with a more grisly bent. 7 Billion Humans, meanwhile, will find its fans if you like wrangling systems and logic puzzles. And Just Dance … it’s Just Dance. Thronebreaker looks real good as well, and we’ve got full wrap on that below.

I still haven’t beaten it. In most games, that would make me frustrated with myself or furious at the designers. But thanks to Thronebreaker’s unique mechanics, I’m itching to keep trying.”]

But really, the only question here is whether people are picking up Red Dead Redemption 2. Are you biting the bullet with a pre-order, waiting until it drops in price, or skipping the game altogether?
