20 weird and wonderful independent games for 2020

Looks like a bumper year for off-the-wall games

JustJust before the holiday, I mentioned on Twitter that I’m gathering a story about the most anticipated games of 2020. I asked for suggestions, especially indie games, to include. list. The response was so great, that I couldn’t even begin to adjust all the games proposed to our original 50 list.

The list of the top 50 has included highly anticipated independent games including 12 minutes, Carrion, Griftlands, Minutes of the Islands, Nuts, The Red Lantern, Sable, Saturnalia, Skatebird. Spelunky 2, Spiritfarer, and more. And we’re just weeks away from the release of Kentucky Route Zero Act 5, part of one of the most important game series ever. But there are so many curious and intriguing independent games coming soon, I want to highlight a few more gems.

Just for the record, I rush to define standalone games here as games created by an individual or a small group that are not owned by a large company.

This is not a sure list of interesting indie games coming out this year. But they are the ones who caught my eye. Please add your suggestions in the comments below.

Tips: Modern Warfare Finishing Moves

Although the weapon is the star of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare®, few can compete with the flourishing of Finishing Moves when eliminating threats in Multiplayer games.

Each completed Step takes a few seconds and is an entirely optional, but extremely satisfying, method of dealing with troublesome opponents that you may encounter, who may be aware of such a situation. maybe they should.

To equip a complete step, go to the Operator menu, select your favorite Operator, go to the Custom submenu and switch to the Finishing Move tab. There, you can choose any of the unlocked Completed Moves the selected Operator has.

Making a Complete Move is as simple as holding the Melee button behind the enemy.

Each Operator whose name is based on their specific and preferred melee fighting method. The Minotaur, for example, prefers brute force while Charly likes batons. By default, each Operator that comes with Move completes their own signature for both normal situations and when the enemy is on their side.

Enhanced finish: New moves

With the first part, new fully teleported units can be unlocked through the Store packages.

Want Yegor to get out of brass knuckles? How about D-Day hitting a rude gallows hangman rude at your worst enemy?

These moves, and more, add even more subtlety to confusing your opponents in style, so take a look through those packages and see what new moves you can add to your arsenal. of the Controller!

Finish finishing: The top five tips

  1. The default is yours: If you’re trying to move the end and nothing happens, it’s because you’re not close enough or not behind the enemy. It could also be that you have selected a default Operator, who does not have Complete Migration. Only named operators have Migration Complete.
  2. Ghost of a Chance: Running Ghost perk can help you overcome the ranks of enemies, as it protects you from UAV, Radar Drones, Heartbeat Sensors and Snapshot Grenade. In other words, being undetected from an enemy’s information can help you sneak around your enemy to make the Move over.
  3. Tracking stars: Another benefit to consider is Tracker; It allows you to see the trail of enemies, essentially a bread path to potential finishing moves. Watching those striking footprints – while also paying attention to your surroundings – can be the key to sneaking around and finding an opponent you’re about to apologize for.
  4. Dead silence is golden: If you plan on dealing with enemies with Complete Motion, then Dead silence is a great School Upgrade to choose from. It calms your steps, allows you to glide through fields and keep you undetected.

5 It reveals the location of the enemy through the highlights of the infrared profile, allowing you to not only see where the enemies are, but also the direction in which they are facing.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Character Progression Trailer reveals a surprising level of depth

Here’s what you’ll need to know to get Super Saiyan strong in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot

The new trailer for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot plunges into the game’s character development system, and it’s surprisingly complicated.

Increasingly, Kakarot is proving to be a fitting role-playing game, complete with side quests, complex skill trees, food stats and community boards to learn special skills. You will want to explore each of those features to become a living legend of Goku.

I’m a big fan of eating, both in real life and in video games, so it’s nice to see Kakarot combining a number of ways to find a variety of food. You can cook the meat you see at campsites, but real people come from meals prepared by real cooks in town or at home. Just like the source job, it seems that Chi-Chi’s job is to prepare delicious meals, only for Goku to return home and defeat them like an animal. I just hope we can see Chi-Chi kumquat Goku match her signature bark.

You will upgrade your skill tree and learn Super Attack by collecting Z Orbs spread across the map. Certain skills require certain Z Orbs of specific color to be unlocked and others can only be unlocked by visiting the Driving Range. Searching Ki can help you find Medal D, which can be used to access the Driving Range.

Overcoming the main story and completing side quests for various characters will bring you the Soul Symbol, which can be placed on one of the seven Community Boards to learn a variety of community skills that help increase power for your team. The strategy of placing a Soul Symbol can grant you a Link Bonus, which gives your team stronger buffs.

Tiny houses are coming to The Sims 4

This month you’ll be able to build a cozy nest on fewer than 100 tiles with the Tiny Living Stuff Pack.

Most home fevers have been quiet, at least compared to a few years ago when it seemed that every TV channel had its own program of people moving into tiny houses or reworked rickshaws or containers. goods converted. But in The Sims 4, it seems the trend of small houses is about to begin. A teaser for The Tiny Living Stuff Pack has appeared, showing small but fancy houses taking 100 or less bricks.

In addition to a cute, cozy small home, players who build or buy small houses will have to spend less on bills like in real life, heating a villa costs a lot of money while living in A room requires less energy. I can only assume that it will be a challenge to design a small house, although your Sims still need to be able to travel and use everything, and that can be difficult to manage even in a single home. Sims 4 houses are normal sized. Space saving features like Murphy bed (pull-down bed) are displayed. A person who appears to kill a Sim tragically (nah, I’m sure he’s fine).

I was a bit suspicious by the followers’ promise that Sims sharing a small house would be rewarded with a relationship, however. If you recall the sketch of Portland’s Microhouse, living in a small house can be stressful for couples. “You always breathe out the back of my neck, like I can feel your hot breath all the time!” This stress may be the result of having a combined TV and shower room, or a double writing room like a toilet, or having to use your partner’s back as a table for you to have. can toast.
I am sure your Sims will do much better, though. It appears the Tiny Living Stuff Pack will contain loads of new furniture (small) and clothes (normal sizes). Packages will accompany on January 21.

Overwatch 2 releases news, rumors, modes and trailers

A new era of Overwatch dawns

After months of speculation, Overwatch 2 made its official debut at BlizzCon 2019.

The sequel to Blizzard’s team shooter was revealed by creative director Jeff Kaplan at the annual event, accompanied by an emotional promotional video (you can find it below).

Overwatch 2 is a bit misleading compared to the regular format of the series. The sequel will feature new PvP modes, with Push being the main element of the competitive game, as well as new maps, cosmetic items, and characters – including Sojourn, who was revealed during the event. this.

While these new PvP modes are expected, what’s new for the series is the addition of heroic quests and plots that allow collaborative play – the first for the Overwatch series. In these “very replayable” missions, you and the five friends will try to accomplish the goals together against AI, acting as a welcome from the fierce online PvP mode that the series of games has known.

There’s quite a bit to wrap your head up – but don’t worry, we’ve gathered everything we know about Overwatch 2 so far for your perusal.

[Update: The Overwatch 2 release date may have been leaked by Brazil’s Twitter Twitter account. Read on to find out more.]

Cut to chase


What is it? The sequel to Blizzard’s team shooter
When will it come out? TBC
What can I play it on? Probably PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One (plus next generation gaming consoles)


Overwatch 2 release date


Blizzard officially launched Overwatch 2 at BlizzCon 2019. It’s clear that the sequel is still under early development and Blizzard doesn’t know when it will be released.

“I don’t know. I have no idea,” creative director Jeff Kaplan said in the panel revealing Overwatch 2. “Like, let us make it great, that’s what we do.” care more than anything. We don’t have a day in mind. “

In January 2020, the official PlayStation Brazil Twitter account sparked excitement by tweeting that “2020 will be the year Overwatch 2 arrives with PS4” before deleting the tweet (currently stored by Voxel as a screenshot). ). But there is no official comment from Blizzard, this should be done with a pinch of salt. It could be a simpler mistake than a leak.

Overwatch 2 trailer


Overwatch 2 was officially revealed by Jeff Kaplan at BlizzCon 2019, along with an 8-minute commercial trailer titled “Now Not”.

Check it out below (but have some tissue available):

In BlizzCon 2019, Blizzard also dropped the three-minute game trailer for Overwatch 2, introducing a new look for the sequel.

Release date of leakage?

The official Twitter account for PlayStation Brazil sparked excitement for Overwatch fans after tweeting that “2020 will be the year Overwatch 2 arrives with PS4”. Tweet was deleted but the screenshot was captured by Voxel. There is no official comment from Blizzard on this matter, but it is entirely possible that this is a simple bug belonging to the Twitter team of PlayStation Brazil. We will not know for sure until we receive an official comment; Jeff Kaplan had previously stated bluntly that he didn’t know when the game would be released because it was still in its early stages.

Teasing other heroes?

Blizzard was quite tight-lipped when it came to talking about the hero lineup for Overwatch 2, but fans who watched the Yule Log livestream clip of Jeff Kaplan were left wondering if the director would tease a new hero for the times. No follow-up releases (via ComicBook). During Kaplan’s livestream, while building a Lego Overwatch at about 6:11, he mentioned Overwatch’s Junker Queen and asked some questions about whether she “became” hero “or not the role she can assume if she’s one. It is not a confirmation of anything but it is enough during a quiet livestream to catch the attention of Overwatch fans. We imagine if Junker Queen becomes a hero in Overwatch 2, we will receive confirmation closer to the game’s release whenever possible.

Larger map and more heroes

In a recent interview, Overwatch 2’s assistant director, Aaron Keller, and lead writer, Michael Chu, expanded a bit about the team’s ambition to play PvE. According to Keller, there are “lots of heroes” working on the game and its PvE map “is 2 times bigger than the regular Overwatch map”.

This increased scale is all it takes to tell more stories in the Overwatch world, and that new collaborative missions will allow a more traditional way to tell a story in the Overwatch universe. A story that Zhou said will have “beginning, middle and end”.

Naturally, as stated before, PvP is still the focus of the team and progress in PvP will be “completely separate” from PvE.

According to Keller, we don’t want to change our talent and the ability to change our playstyle to give an unfair advantage in PvP. We are still exploring what players can earn in PvE and building a progression system for that. Our goal is to create a powerful, evolving system that provides our Hero Quests, where players can play and replay for hours or as the main game mode of them after they finished the Overwatch 2 story.

Focus narrative
J. Allen Brack, president of Blizzard, said that with Overwatch 2, we’re building the game experience based on the collaborative story the player has requested since the original and we want to make in a long time. Entertainment. Software We look forward to telling the next chapter of this epic story in the game, and we are excited to offer our players a completely new co-op experience built around progress and Customize their favorite heroes – all while offering more than everything they love about Overwatch today.

PvP is still a focus
Despite focusing heavily on new collaborative modes, Kaplan took the time to dispel the myth that Overwatch 2 will lose in the multiplayer mode causing 50 million people to play the game in the first place.

In fact, according to Kaplan, a major focus for the Overwatch 2 team is making PvP the best it can be – including new maps, new modes and new characters farther away.

Cosmetic products will pass
According to Kaplan, all cosmetic items earned in the original Overwatch will be transferred to Overwatch 2 – a move that will help accelerate the transition to the new game.

Hero mission
Heroic missions see the Overwatch team travel around the world, protect cities against robot invasions, take on elite Talon agents and battle the evil forces that surround the world. This “very replayable mode” will allow players to level up their favorite heroes and earn powerful customization options, further increasing their capabilities in co-op games – for example like changing Reinhardt’s Fire Strike to burn nearby enemies or modifying Tracer’s Pulse Bomb to cause devastating chain reaction – granting them the extra advantage they need to resist overwhelming odds.

Overwatch and Overwatch 2 compatible


Current Overwatch players can play with Overwatch 2 players in PvP multiplayer mode. In addition, current Overwatch players will be able to play the heroes and maps of Overwatch 2.

Cooperation mission


The cooperative mission sees players working together to “stand together to combat the explosion of global threats”.

Play Overwatch 2


Similar to what we saw with its predecessor, Overwatch Play brings the player’s existing achievements and collection of loot and has the current complete Overwatch lineup, a new generation of heroes, New maps “expand world range” and new Push map types – plus more are revealed.

Mission story


Quests in the story see the original Winston, Tracer and the other members of Overwatch join forces with a new generation of heroes. Players will play an active role in the Overwatch story as a new global crisis takes place through a series of intense, durable four-player missions. As the story progresses, players will team up into different groups of heroes and fight to protect the world from the Null sector’s omnic forces, discover the motive behind the robotic army’s attacks, and face new and emerging threats around the globe.

Upgrade the new engine
Overwatch 2 introduces significant engine upgrades that support a larger map for co-op (PvE) play, as well as many new types of enemies and factions that players will encounter during missions. The game also introduces visual enhancements.

BlizzCon 2019
Overwatch 2 was officially revealed at BlizzCon 2019, alongside an 8-minute trailer. We also have a three-minute game trailer that introduces the new interface of the sequel, alongside new hero abilities.

Overwatch 2 will feature new PvP modes, with the tug of war game being the mainstay of competitive gameplay, as well as new maps, cosmetic items, and characters, including Sojourn. While the new PVP modes are expected, new to the series is the addition of heroic quests and storylines that allow collaborative play – the first for the series.

The game will launch globally around the same time, and that will happen at 9:00 am PST, at noon at EST and at 17:00 GMT.

Here is the trailer:

While you’re waiting to debut, you can check out our Monster Hunter World: Iceborne review, calling the expansion pack one of the best DLC releases in recent memory.

We also gathered some hunting guides for the new monsters you face. There, Ban Bano, has horns as big as an elk to throw you and Palico into the air; Tigrex, first appeared in Monster Hunter Freedom 2; and fan favorite Nargacuga.

Icetern starts after the events in Monster Hunter: World, and you’ll need to complete the main quest (and see the credits) to get started. Luckily, there are new suits of armor and weapons to build that will give you a little extra boost if you lag behind in basic game content.
