Spotlight Sunday is a way for Choicest Games to feature PC games that are scheduled for release on the following week - games that we consider worthwhile checking out.
This week (22nd February to the 28th February 2016) there are quite a few games coming out - again some on Early Access including
Master of Orion. If we exclude the Early Access games there are six that I'm keen on that are being released next week:
Talisman: The Horus Heresy
- Release Date: 22/02/2016
- Availability: Steam - $21.24 USD
BRATHA! I am PINNED here! Oh look, it's yet another Warhammer 40,000 game. Seems like The Games Workshop is intent on saturating the market with their IP as much as Disney has in recent years. I've never really played any Warhammer 40,000 but this seems to be a good fit considering
Talisman is actually a board game.
The Walking Dead: Michonne
- Release Date: 23/02/2016
- Availability: Steam - $13.49 USD
I really enjoyed the two
The Walking Dead games by Telltale, so I'm keenly anticipating this "mini-series" featuring one of the major characters from
The Walking Dead franchise called Michonne.
Hitman GO: Definitive Edition
- Release Date: 24/02/2016
- Availability: Steam - Not available for pre-order but will likely be $7.99 USD
I believe that this game is a port of a mobile game but what's interesting is that it's a turn-based strategy/puzzle game set in the
Hitman universe - and it actually sounds like it could work. I'm not sure what's so special about the "Definitive Edition" but as it's being released on Steam there will be the usual Steam achievements and Trading Cards included.
ComixPlay #1: The Endless Incident
- Release Date: 25/02/2016
- Availability: Steam - Not available for pre-order but will likely be $6.99 USD
ComixPlay #1 is apparently a 124-page comic mixed with strategic, turn-based battles where you get to play as the heroes! It's not just any comic either as it's produced by accomplished comic writers/artists including Al Sirois, a former Marvel and DC illustrator.
Heaven's Hope - Special Edition
- Release Date: 25/02/2016
- Availability: Steam - Not available for pre-order
The Germans seem to love their point 'n' click adventure games... which is just as well since I love them too! The game looks gorgeous and it's apparently got a soundtrack by an accomplished composer too. Now all that remains to be seen are if the puzzles and plot are just as good.
Stardew Valley
- Release Date: 27/02/2016
- Availability: Steam - Not available for pre-order but will likely be $14.99 USD
This seems to be a JRPG style life sim game where you've inherited your grandfather's old farm and it's up to you whether you can make a living or not by growing crops and raising animals. It's open-ended and you can meet over 30 characters, and you're even able to court and marry 10 potential partners.
So are you interested or excited about any PC games being released next week? Which games are
you looking forward to?
