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?
