Many gamers may not recognise or have heard of some of the games releasing this week. That’s no reason not to be excited, however.
There are no big triple-A titles releasing, but these are some interesting and unique releases nonetheless, and here’s why they’re worth your attention:
Life is Strange – Episode 4: Dark Room – July 28
(PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360)
The episodic Life is Strange has created quite a following since its first instalment, and the penultimate episode, entitled “Dark Room”, is set for release this week.
Things are getting serious in Arcadia Bay, as events ramp up to their conclusion in Max’s investigation of Rachel Amber’s disappearance.
After the major cliff hanger in Episode 3, you’ll get some more answers in Episode 4: Dark Room.
The episode will take a darker turn than prior entries, and some of the secrets of Arcadia Bay will come to light.
The Swindle – July 28
(PC, PS4, PS3, PS Vita, Xbox One)
The Swindle is a new steampunk-inspired crime game, putting you into the shoes of a thief attempting to pull off some risky heists which involve infiltrating buildings, grabbing the cash and trying to escape without getting caught by the police.
All buildings will be randomly-generated in the game making each heist unique.
The money you retrieve from your theft will be useable to upgrade your thieves with new skills, tools and other abilities to tackle tougher jobs.
King’s Quest: A Knight To Remember – July 28
(PS3, PS4), 29 July (Xbox 360, Xbox One)
King’s Quest: A Knight to Remember, the first episode in a five-part saga, will launch this week.
King’s Quest is The Odd Gentlemen’s take on the classic adventure series, following Activision’s revival of the Sierra label.
The game follows the youthful adventures of King Graham, now an old man telling stories to his granddaughter.
It’s also beautifully animated and will provide something quite different for those looking for a change this week.
