Extinction puts players in the role of a roguish hero trying to defend his homeland against a hoard of ravenous, giant monsters. He does this by climbing up their bodies and crushing their heads. It’s all very Attack on Titan-eske, but pretty fun for an RPG with a twist.
Masters of Anima is an odd duck of a game. Perhaps best described as a mixture of Diablo and Pikmin, it certainly hits the quirky factor head on. But whether or not you will actually have fun with it is another question.
This week Billy is looking at another game that isn’t out yet called Renaine and he’s getting some major Shovel Knight vibes from this one.
With Hope, Montana under siege, it’s up to our hero to save the day, and gun down thousands of crazy cultists to do it. Welcome to the world of Far Cry 5, which offers both over-the-top action and insane moments, coupled with a somewhat realistic story that is a little too close to home for life in America these days.
The Beast Inside is trying to revolutionize horror gaming by helping get the genre back to its roots. We checked in on the beta of this one, which having met its Kickstarter goals, now has an official release date. Check out why this horror game is one to watch.
This week the Time Waster is all about Aura of Worlds. This is a 2D rogue-like game still in Early Access that Billy is planning to keep an eye on.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux is a mystery game that got great accolades when it was originally released, and now is breaking more ground with an enhanced Xbox One X version, plus a new free roam mode that lets you just wander around and admire the views.
Epic is too tiny a word to describe the new Monster Hunter World game, now available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. There are at least 80 hours of tracking, hunting and fighting monsters ready for players, spread across a massive world that is as deadly as it is beautiful.
The time waster this week is all about a 2D adventure game named Iconoclasts that’s heavy on the story, but really shouldn’t be.
