An article praising the news
That Pixel Primal game looks neat. Nice to see someone do something different with the metroidvania style. Didn't see any beat em ups, sad day. Those Witcher rumors have me worried. I don't have high hopes for Marvel Rivals as it's another comic book game chasing a dying trend, and Marvel doesn't have a good track record for video games anymore.
Yeah, the marvel game looks sad. I remember the team based exploration games of the 00's and wish we could have another.
Last months list had a few beat em ups. Also, Streets of Rage is getting a sequel and remake.
The Metroidvania caveman game does look good. A good part of the genre is a horror element, and this one seems to have it with dinosaurs.
