Dustborn

Robots and road trips, what more could you want? Red Thread’s upcoming title, Dustborn gives you that and so much more. A stylized adventure game, Dustborn centers on Pax, an outcast on the run from the law and entrusted with delivering an important package. It’s a daunting task, but as Dustborn, a person with superhuman abilities, the odds should be in Pax’s favor. If not, she’s got a squad of people and bots with their own abilities. Either way, it’s going to be a hell of a road trip. –– Sherri L. Smith

Skater XL

You’ll be using both analog sticks to control each foot, allowing you to pull off unique, personalized stunts that aren’t limited by what the game tells you to do.

GTTOD: Get To The Orange Door

GTTOD, otherwise known as Get To The Orange Door, is a futuristic first-person shooter with a focus on gaining high scores, speeding through levels and racking up as many kills as possible. It’s set in a simplistic neon world with a wireframe aesthetic, but what’s coolest about GTTOD is its addictivity. Movement seems absolutely crazy, with an emphasization on dodging, shooting and sprinting at the right times to maximize efficiency. This definitely seems like a game I could get stuck playing for hours just to beat my previous high score. GTTOD is available in early access on Steam right now. –– Mohammad Tabarl

It takes inspiration from Victorian concepts and themes, giving the player access to some futuristic equipment to escape and fight back against the horde infecting the hotel.

And thankfully, there’s going to be a harder difficulty settings, giving fans of survival horror a more hardcore way to play the game. Maid of Sker is set to release in July of this year, so keep an eye out. –– Mohammad Tabari

It mostly seems like the game will be about solving puzzles and attempting to navigate an overwhelming labyrinth.

Paradise Lost will be available sometime this year. –– Mohammad Tabari
