Dune Spice Wars

"Dune", does it tell you something? Yes, it is the famous universe created by author Frank Herbert and recently adapted to the cinema. At the heart of the story, we find the planet of Arrakis, entirely covered with sand, where different peoples compete to control the spice, a substance to the powerful supernatural powers. It is in this distant world that the French of Shiro Games (NorthGuard, Evoland) planted the decor of their new project: Dune Spice Wars. A game that describes itself as a "4x real-time strategy game" on Steam. The goal will be very simple: to lead the war to control the spice and Arrakis. It will be possible to choose between four famous factions, the atreides, Harkonnen, Contrabanders and Fremen. "Find the balance between open war, duplicity, political negotiations and economic supremacy". It makes you want !

The Snake Snape

Second game, totally different universe. In The Snake Snape, you play the goalkeeper, "mysterious alchemist who must use his skills to protect a terrible kingdom corruption" can we learn on Steam. The corruption manager? Snape Snape, you will have to face. The title is described as an action-an adventure game-oriented exploration in a medieval world, with alchemy, wild creatures. The idea is to search every corner of the card in search of new knowledge to complete your quest. The project even seems to offer interesting combinations of potions, all with a rather successful artistic direction. A favorite of the year we were not waiting for?

The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe

If you often play Indeed Games, you've necessarily heard about The Stanley Parable, a narrative "walking simulator" released in 2013. It does not rejuvenate! Surprise, the very good title of the Crows Crows Crows studio is back in an Ultra Deluxe edition, nearly ten years after its first edition. The concept remains the same but on a much larger scale (the game was quite short at the time). You are Stanley, whose road seems first of all plotted by the indications of a narrator. The goal of the game, constantly contradicting this voice off , whose speech will adapt accordingly, leaving the beaten track. A concept that will make you discover a lot of secrets, sometimes very amazing. If Crows Crows Crows manages to expand his concept with as much talent, we probably hold one of the best games of the year.

Snape Legacy 2

We continue with another very big name of the independent game, also back. As of April 28, Snape Legacy 2 will come out of two years of early access and land on PC, Xbox One & Series (not in the game pass for now). A very expected game. His predecessor, Snape Legacy, had participated in the return of the rogue-lite on the front of the stage, with games like Speelunky and The Binding of Isaac. The idea is very simple: to face again and again randomly generated areas until seeing the end of the game, recovering permanent improvements that will help you through your trip. But Snape Legacy does it in a fun way. Every new essay is the new descendant of the same family . This second component of course resumes this principle, with in addition a bunch of other improvements. In short, we can not wait to try there.

Ravenous Devil

A "cooking-horror simulator", intriguing no? Well it's the description of the latest Bad Vice project: Ravenous Devils. Sub-cover to be the Gentil Percival Tailor, you actually manage a business that makes its Popote with corpses , in a city gnawed by corruption and poverty. You will have to attract customers and choose the best moment to murder them. Beyond its pretty rigolo postulate, Ravenous Devils seems to offer a nice planning cocktail (Hitman way) as well as a whole management part. Because obviously, it will be necessary to recycle clients to ensure your tailor activity, and do not waste any piece for what touches on the kitchen. An original and probably solid experience, only on "4 hours of play".

Unsouled

We finally finish with Unsouled, newcomer to the very disputed category of 2D Souls-like. The title, which comes out of Early Access and which will be available as soon as it is released via the Xbox Game Pass, seems particularly dynamic, with a demanding combat system which is based on a good mastery of the rhythm in particular to chain the blows. "In Unsouled, each power has its own chain timing" can be learned about Steam. One thing is therefore certain: you should not neglect training. Throughout your progress, you will meet more and more powerful enemies, but also new skills to improve your character. All in a pretty artistic direction in Pixel Art. No doubt solid!
