Bargains from the newest Xbox gross sales
Luke — Digerati Sofa Co-op Vol. 2
I will preface this by saying that I have not really performed three of the video games on this bundle, however the way in which I see it’s that you simply’re spending three bucks on Bleed 2 — which is superb — and getting these different video games without spending a dime anyway. These others (Vertical Drop Heroes HD, Black Paradox, and Shikhondo: Soul Eater) do look fairly good, it should be mentioned, and so they’re seemingly way more manageable completions than Bleed 2 (which is strong) at round 8-10 hours a chunk and with considerably decrease ratios as well. If you happen to’re into shmups and/or roguelikes, this bundle is an absolute cut price… even for those who solely decide it up for the one recreation within the set that I’ve really performed. Bleed 2 is a fast-paced 2D run-and-gun motion recreation with loads of methods up its sleeve, together with wild air dashes, bullet time dodges, projectile parries, and way more. There is a little bit of Max Payne in its DNA, in addition to some Satan Might Cry, with each encounter being a tremendous dance with demise as you weave between waves of bullets in sluggish movement whereas blasting again… it is a kind of video games that’s simply loopy satisfying when all of it clicks and also you get on an amazing run. Ranges are quick sufficient that you could replay them rapidly looking for higher grades, and the higher you get, the higher it feels. So yeah, drop a number of quid on Bleed 2 as a result of it is good, and benefit from the different video games that include it.

Dangerous North is on sale this week for simply $4.49/£3.59/€4.49, and in my eyes, that’s an absolute cut price.
Dangerous North: Jotunn Version
Your private home is beneath assault. The king is lifeless by the hands of Viking invaders. Hope is a distant glimmer within the fog, fading quick with each passing second. As you rise to take your father’s place as ruler, it’s going to fall to you to stage your defenses. However make no mistake – that is no struggle for victory, however a determined grasp for survival.
