Jet Kave Adventure


Ignore the promotional art and go straight
to watching videos of Jet Kave Adventure – in
doing so you’re rewarded with the knowledge
this looks like it’ll actually play something like
Donkey Kong Country. Thanks to living in the
future, as we do, this caveman platformer is
actually getting more of a look-in than it might
otherwise have.
The Last Campfire

Hello Games has been hard at work trying to
meet impossible expectations elsewhere, but
it hasn’t forgotten about making new games.
The Last Campfire is a smaller experience than
No Man’s Sky – it’s described as a ‘short’ – and it
certainly has less hype behind it. That shouldn’t
stop you from keeping your eyes on this
characterful little adventure, though.

Neon City Riders


Fighting, puzzling, exploring, and cyberpunk...ing,
Neon City Riders is aiming to combine the best of
the eighties – or at least the best of our vague
memories of the eighties – with some fine indie
game sensibilities. It’s a simple case of working
your way through four different gang-controlled
turfs, each with its own distinct aesthetic, and
working your way to the area’s gang boss in
order to take them on and out. It looks great,
it sounds refreshing, and we’re looking forward
to this one releasing in 2020.

Alaloth –


Champions of The Four Kingdoms


No game is for everyone, so it’s a redundant statement to make, but really, in this
case... Alaloth won’t be for everyone. Stubbornly old school in its visual style, this
action-RPG from Gamera Interactive is actually a bit more interesting under the
surface, describing itself as an ‘isometric Soulslike’. Combat and dungeon-crawling
is to be expected, along with character customisation and multiplayer of both the
competitive and co-operative style. The cherry on top of this is the involvement of
Chris Avellone, who has inked the story behind Alaloth. None of this guarantees it’ll
be a great finished package, but the individual pieces are looking good enough in
their own right.
