<p>The Dude from the chaotic but <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/best/">highly rated mobile game</a> is back! And this time he has a demon-slaying boomerang.</p>

<p>Developers from South Korean studio SuperPlanet confirmed launching <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/boomerang-rpg/">Boomerang RPG: Watch out, Dude!</a> on <a href="">March 19</a>. The sequel to the popular mobile game <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/missile-dude-rpg/">Missile Dude RPG</a> is now available on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/boomerang-rpg/">iOS</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/boomerang-rpg/">Android</a> devices.</p>

<p>Boomerang RPG: Watch Out Dude! picks up where its predecessor left off. Similar to the first game, Boomerang RPG: Watch Out Dude! combines the elements of action and idle-hero. Its creators described it as a 'unique blend of quirky humor and exhilarating action.'</p>

<p>Players once again will take control of the laid-back, protagonist Dude, the hero of Dude World. However, peace is once again interrupted in the Dude World. Old, demonic forces have returned to wreak havoc.</p>

<p>In turn, players will have to guide Dude in defending Dude World, with the aid of his trusty boomerang. The boomerangs themselves are one of the key highlights of the game. Each has its own unique power and special effects.</p>

<p>Players can unlock boomerangs that spark firestorms, rain down meteors, or even heal the Dude during battle.</p>

<p>SuperPlanet also introduced more customization options, including 'funny-looking costumes'. This means the Dude can go into combats while wearing a sunny-side-up egg on his head. In addition to their aesthetics, the costumes can also enhance Dude's abilities, developers confirmed.</p>

<p>Furthermore, Boomerang RPG: Watch Out Dude! comes with a companion system. The new feature will enable the Dude to team up with other powerful characters. These companions can fight alongside the Dude. Players can collect and upgrade these companions to create the demon-slaying squad.</p>

<p>In the meantime, SuperPlanet has rolled out a week-long in-game event in celebration of Boomerang RPG: Watch Out Dude! This means players can get their hands on free exclusive items and resources for a limited time. / ### </p>

This package will be available for $4.99/£4.49/€4.99 or as part of the game’s Waterfronts Expansion Pass or Ultimate Edition.</p>

<p>The game received polarizing reviews on release and received a below-average playscore of 5.0 on PC. Critics and players were unhappy with its performance issues and noticeable bugs. Paradox Interactive is adamant about fixing the game starting with this upcoming update. </p>

<p>Cities Skylines II will also be <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/upcoming/">releasing soon on PS5</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/upcoming/">Xbox Series X</a>. The <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/simulation/">simulation game </a>is slated to release this Spring.</p>

Cities Skylines II add Beaches and Modding this March

<p>Arrakis, the iconic planet from the sci-fi franchise Dune, just got a whole lot more complex.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/dune-spice-wars/">Dune: Spice Wars</a> launched its first downloadable content (DLC) on <strong>March 18</strong>. Titled House of Vernius of Ix, it brought with it a new faction into the game - the Ixians. It is currently priced at $12.99.</p>

<p>On top of this, creators from Shiro Games and Funcom also released a free content update called Heroes of Dune. These new, two major updates, in turn, significantly expanded the Dune: Spice Wars lore.</p>

<p>The House of Vernius of Ix and Heroes of Dune allowed players to restrategize and rethink their play style. The new updates not only enabled them to control a new faction and additional playable characters. But these also provided them with more options for strategizing.</p>

<p>The House of Vernius of Ix DLC will introduce players to Earl Rhombur Vernius, the leader of the Ixians. They are known for their mastery of science and technology.</p>

<p>Unlike the previous factions, the Ixians specialize in research and diplomacy, according to a press release from Funcom.</p>

<p>Heroes of Dune, on the other hand, will roll out 14 new playable characters for Dune: Spice Wars. These include familiar names such as Paul Atreides, Duke Leto Atreides, Lady Jessica, and Gurney Halleck.</p>

<p>These Dune heroes can be recruited and deployed as units on the battlefield, Funcom said.</p>

<p>"These new additions promise to elevate the real-time 4X gaming experience to unprecedented levels of excitement and strategy," the studio added.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/dune-spice-wars/">Dune: Spice Wars</a> is a <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/single-player/">singleplayer</a> 4X <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/real-time-strategy/">real-time strategy</a> game. The player's goal is to dominate Arrakis - either through militarization or diplomacy. </p>

<p>Developed by Shiro Games, it first came out via Early Access in 2022. The full version launched a year later in September 2023 on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/dune-spice-wars/">PC</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/dune-spice-wars/">Xbox Series X</a>.</p>

This is already the second Dune-related announcement this year since Dune Awakening's <a href="https://whatoplay.com/post/dune-awakening-trailer-new/">new trailer</a>. /###

Top-Down Roguelike OTXO Coming To Consoles This March

<h2>17.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/wrath-aeon-of-ruin/">WRATH: Aeon of Ruin</a></h2>
<p><em>TBA - FPS</em></p>

<p>
If you miss playing FPS games from the 90s, there’s no better way than getting it at the source. Developers of classic shooters like Doom and Quake came together to bring the retro style to the new age.</p>

<p> With its pixel art style and first-person perspective, the game is a certified nostalgia trip that will bring you back to that first time you played an FPS game.</p>

<p>Wrath isn’t child’s play though. Its open-level design leaves you vulnerable in 15 different maps with 3 Guardians of the Old World to take down once and for all.</p> 

<p>Since its full release, developer KillPixel has unfortunately decided to remove multiplayer entirely. Still, as a strictly single-player game, Wrath’s hardcore gameplay is worth the hours of investment</p>


<h2>16.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/pacific-drive/">Pacific Drive</a></h2>

<p><em>Feb 22 - Adventure</em></p>

<p>In a newer realm of First Person gameplay, Pacific Drive challenges you to survive a Pacific Northwest road trip with a nuclear twist. Cut down to its essence, this is an adventure game with roguelike elements. Your old station wagon is your lifeline and your garage is your base of operations. Head out into the Olympic Exclusion Zone,  investigate the weird phenomena, and…make sure you bring back enough materials to make your future rides smoother.</p>  

<p>Every run is a different beast, with weirder and weirder anomalies as you uncover the secret of the exclusion zones. The rides are long and the stakes are always high. </p>



<h2>15.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/helldivers-2/">Helldivers 2</a></h2>
<p><em>Feb 8 - Shooter</em></p>

<p>In Helldivers, true democracy is a crusade against bug-dom. Arrowhead continues the bullet diplomacy in this sequel to their satirical shooter. </p>

<p>Dive into the battlefield in teams of four and work together to bring “peace” by raining fire on every alien inhabitant. It’s simple: step up to the plate, or friendly fire will get you squashed along with them. </p> 

<p>Along with frantic team fights and top-notch gameplay, Helldivers is also noted for its balance. While it has microtransactions, it doesn’t feel unfair. </p>

<p>If you can stomach the occasional server issue, Helldivers 2 is a hell of a lot of fun. </p>


<h2>14.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/tekken-8/">Tekken 8</a></h2>
<p><em>Jan 26 - Fighting</em></p>

<p>Tekken put on a fresh face in this latest installment, with a redesigned roster and a new battle system. The Heat system soups up the action, setting the stage for aggressive plays and exciting comebacks. The training tools definitely help too, leveling the playing field for newcomers and giving veterans a place to sharpen their skills. </p> 

<p>
The latest updates have already brought new features and Tekken Shop content. And there may be even more to come.
</p> 


<h2>13.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/banishers-ghosts-of-new-eden/">Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden</a></h2>
<p><em>Feb 13 - RPG</em></p>

<p>It’s 1695 in New Eden and you’re a couple of Banishers tasked with lifting curses that afflict the whole town, including your beloved. Everyone has a rich story to tell, but your choice ultimate decides their fate. </p> 

<p>Choices form the core of the DONTNOD game experience and this new action RPG only raises the stakes. It’s technically more impressive, in combat and visual presentation. Plus, the emotional story deepens your investment and makes the necessary decisions even more difficult. </p> 


<h2>12.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/sons-of-the-forest/">Sons of the Forest</a></h2>
<p><em>Feb 22 - Adventure</em></p>

<p>The sequel to The Forest brings you back into the open cannibal woods. This time, in search of a billionaire’s daughter in a map much larger and more impressive than the last. </p> 

<p>Despite the gorgeous presentation,  it’s no less horrific and it adds new challenges to hinder your survival. Each season is a host of tiny roadblocks that, with their passing, might even render your hard work useless. Thankfully, you’ll have company: in friends or AI companions. </p>

<p>The full release last February brought a laundry list of improvements, and it’s only getting better from here.  </p>

<h2>11.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/oblivion-override/">Oblivion Override</a></h2>
<p><em>Jan 25 - Platformer</em></p>

<p>In Oblivion Override, you play a combat robot who infiltrates the Dulce Base to discover the secrets of a robot civilization.</p>  

<p>The game has smooth, responsive combat with a character that feels fully equipped from the get-go. It’s action from the first minute, and it only gets better from there. With a variety of playstyles to try out and bosses to defeat.</p> 

<p>Sure, the localization is less than perfect, but as one reviewer puts it: ultimately, the gameplay is so good that it eclipses everything else.</p> 

<h2>10.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/momodora-moonlit-farewell/">Momodora: Moonlit Farewell</a></h2>
<p><em>Jan 11 - Platformer</em></p>

<p>Momodora’s last chapter is a dark and delightful adventure. This curtain call brings forth all the elements we loved from the series: gorgeous art style, compelling storytelling and Metroidvania exploration. </p>  

<p>While it brings Momodora to a fitting end--designed to be enjoyable even without playing the previous games--Moonlit Farewell is also a great starting point for newcomers to the series. </p> 

<h2>9.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/dragon-quest-builders/">	Dragon Quest Builders</a></h2>
<p><em>Feb 13 - Adventure</em></p>

<p>More than half a decade since it was released on PS Vita, the original spinoff has finally arrived on PC. And, with all the DLCs and a few more bells and whistles, it looks as fresh as ever. </p>

<p>With its ultrawide support and higher frame rates, among other quality-of-life improvements, this port is considered by some as the superior Dragon Quest Builders on the PC. 
</p> 

<p>More than building and crafting, it also carries the essence of Dragon Quest in a compelling original story. Let your creativity soar while you restore the city of Alefgard.</p> 

<h2>8.    	<a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/like-a-dragon-infinite-wealth/">Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth</a></h2>
<p><em>Jan 26 - RPG</em></p>

<p>The latest Like a Dragon title takes you on a grand getaway, from Japan to Sunny Hawaii. Aside from the tropical vacation, Infinite Wealth has a wealth of upgrades. From quality of life improvements, to new mechanics. Each add to the intuitiveness and balance of the open world. </p>  

<p>And as for new minigames, there’s food delivery, fishing, and…the biggest addition yet: a new island management game where you gather and build to restore the island to its former glory.</p> 

<p>It’s safe to say Infinite Wealth lives up to its name. </p> 

<h2>7.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/the-outlast-trials/">The Outlast Trials</a></h2>
<p><em>Mar 5 - Survival-Horror</em></p>

<p>After a year in Early Access, the multiplayer Outlast game is finally out. And if you think things get a little easier with friends, you’d be wrong.</p>

<p>As a human guinea pig in a Cold War experiment, use your night goggles and best stealth moves to maneuver around Murkoff to earn your escape. You’ll also be collecting documents and resources that help you break free from trial.  With friends or without, the trials are no less terrifying.</p>

<p>The Outlast Trials has two events coming up soon. Plus, a full season that brings major updates like new rigs, trials, and more. </p>

<h2>6.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/granblue-fantasy-project-relink/">Granblue Fantasy: Relink</a></h2>
<p><em>Feb 1 - JRPG	</em></p>

<p>Relink is a fantasy adventure that delivers on the basic tenets of RPG: a noble quest steeped in effective combat and challenging boss fights.</p>  

<p>As a sequel, it ups the ante on real-time action. The pace is blazing fast, and mixing and matching from its roster of 20 characters gives you so much variety. Aside from your party of four, you can even request the aid of friends in co-op multiplayer.</p> 

<p>A few critics don’t love its almost too simplistic narrative. But if you like hack-and-slash games with some Monster Hunter flair, then you have a few thousand gamers to vouch for it. </p>

<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/turnip-boy-robs-a-bank/">Turnip Boy Robs a Bank</a></h2>
<p><em>Jan 18 - Adventure</em></p>

<p>Turnip Boy is on another criminal rampage. After his stint committing tax evasion, this sequel sees him robbing bank in the name of roguelike adventure. The original felony might’ve been Turnip Boy’s attempt at justice, there’s no justification for his actions here. With new guns in hand, the only goal is to steal as much money as possible. The absurdity gets leveled up with all his new food-based friends </p> 

<p>As silly as it might be, developer Snoozy Kazoo was serious abot features. This sequel is a big step up in combat and roguelite mechanics. Turnip Boy’s new hijinx may be  short, but it’s jam-packed with procedurally-generated stages, weapons, and silly hats to collect. </p>
 
<h2>4.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/high-on-life/">High on Life</a></h2>
<p><em>2023</em></p>

<p>Phew Phew Games showcase their style in this debut title. In Anomaly Agent, Earth’s destruction hangs in the balance and its up to Agent 70 to eliminate all anomalies.</p> 
 
<p>From start to finish, the game oozes with flair. Its heavily inspired by Katana Zero and it wears it on its sleeve. The pixel graphics emphasizes the lightning fast movements, and the weapons and upgrades keep combat interesting from one stage to the next. </p> 

<p>While it might get repetitive at later stages, its sense of humor and visuals could still keep you hooked for hours on end. </p>
 
<h2>3.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/persona-3-reload/">Persona 3 Reload</a></h2>
<p><em>Feb 2 - JRPG</em></p>

<p>The PS2’s  Persona 3 is back. Reload went far beyond a modern repaint. It’s a complete overhaul with new content, improved gameplay and full voice acting. </p> 

<p>Persona 3’s story may be timeless, Reloaded’s new character interactions gives it added depth. New social events open doors for learning more about favorite characters and the voice cast fully brings them to life. These interactions even give way to new perks in combat. </p> 

<p>Though a few things still feel dated, the slick UI and modernized graphics brings it up to par with the latest games…and keeps it fresh even for old fans. </p>


<h2>2.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/blazblue-entropy-effect/">BlazBlue Entropy Effect</a></h2>
<p><em>Jan 31 - Action</em></p>

<p>For flashy sidescrolling action, this latest BlazBlue title can give you your fix. Entropy Effect brings the stylish combos to a cyberspace future.</p>

<p>It’s unlike other Blazblue titles, but it brings its roster and its fighting game feel to a new roguelite formula. The ten playable characters offer a variety of playstyles, each as satisfying as the next. It’s this variety  that makes Entropy Effect so ‘addictively replayable ’ 
</p> 

<h2>1.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/balatro/">Balatro</a></h2>
<p><em>Feb 20 - Card
</em></p>

<p>Seeing what seems like a simple card game topping the list might be surprising. But, this is a roguelike deck-builder like never before. </p>

<p>A play on classic poker, every round has a target score called blinds that you have to beat with poker hands. Jokers help you fire up your hands with upgrades and card synergies that get you those high-scoring combos. That is, if you can craft the perfect deck to go against anything. 
</p> 

<p>Every run is a gamble and that’s what makes Balatro’s roguelike progression so fun. Play another round, get card upgrades, and maybe this time Lady Luck will be on your side. In Balatro, you can only go All In.</p>

Here's a quick showcase of some of the best PC games released since the start of the year.

17 New PC Games

<h2>15.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/way-of-the-hunter/">Way of the Hunter</a></h2>
<p><em>2022</em></p>

<p>We kick off the list with this seemingly casual first-person shooter. In Way Of The Hunter, there’s no need to fight a battalion of soldiers aiming at your head. Instead, you’re a lowly hunter making his newfound lodge a sanctuary of fresh game.</p>

<p>Like all Hunting games, there are many ways to catch prey. Way Of The Hunter’s charm is in its heavy attention to detail. The touch of realism with the way you hunt animals is ethical and humane, fully immersing you i its dynamic open-world design.</p> 

<p>If you enjoyed the other Hunting games like Call Of The Wild, Way Of The Hunter is a strong alternative to the other hunting games on the PS5’s library.</p>


<h2>14.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/metal-hellsinger/">Metal: Hellsinger</a></h2>
<p><em>2022</em></p>

<p>Bethesda’s DOOM had us slaying demons and rocking out to Mick Gordon’s music, Metal: Hellsinger does exactly the same, albeit with more focus on jamming to its heavy metal tunes.</p> 

<p>If the metal genre was a videogame, this could be it. This first-person ‘rhythm’ shooter is a unique spin on the popular genre. It is a cacophonous rampage of guitar riffs to put you in your A-Game as you blast foes in rhythmic precision.</p> 

<p>It is a fitting tribute to the heavy metal genre as well as sparking new interest for players who want to rock and roll.</p> 

<h2>13.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/overwatch-2/">Overwatch 2</a></h2>
<p><em>2021</em></p>

<p>There’s been a resurgence in Overwatch’s popularity since it rebranded itself as a sequel with more or less the same features. Blizzard’s <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/overwatch/">Overwatch</a> was a worldwide phenomenon back in the day and after so much controversy it was abandoned for quite some time.</p> 

<p>Thankfully the game is back and in a better state now. The shift from 6v6 to 5v5 made team fights more engaging compared to the original. With fewer shields and crowd control to worry about, this hero shooter is finding its new footing with new characters and game modes that shake up the ever-changing meta.</p> 

<p>The recent departure of the Overwatch League will also open new doors to its competitive esports scene. Let’s hope Blizzard doesn’t screw things over again.</p> 


<h2>12.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/hell-let-loose/">Hell Let Loose</a></h2>
<p><em>2021</em></p>

<p>This realistic military shooter is not the kind of game to play with your grandpa beside you. Hell Let Loose is a hardcore FPS that replicates the horror and adrenaline of World War II. From the beaches of Omaha, to the war-torn Stalingrad, it immediately drops you into action in its host of iconic moments in World War II history.</p> 

<p>Competitive thrillseekers will find something to enjoy in its 100-player skirmishes that put you in the bowels of war. Its <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/best/real-time-strategy/">real-time strategy</a> format forces you to pick the right roles to help your battalion. This intricate balance of action and tactics add weight to its firefights as one bullet shot is enough to cripple your offensive.</p> 

<h2>11.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/hubris/">Hubris</a></h2>
<p><em>2023</em></p>

<p>A VR game perfect for players who enjoy games like No Man’s Sky. Hubris takes you to a gorgeous alien planet teeming with extraterrestrials and robots.</p>  

<p>Unlike No Man’s Sky where there’s no end-game, Hubris actually has a story to tell. As a newbie to a mighty space-faring Empire, you’re tasked to find a missing agent by any means necessary.</p> 

<p>There’s a ton of room for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/best/adventure/">adventure</a> here and with your PSVR gear at the ready, you’re bound to encounter the wonders and dangers in its sci-fi world.</p> 

<h2>10.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/deep-rock-galactic/">Deep Rock Galactic</a></h2>
<p><em>2022</em></p>

<p>There’s a growing interest in squad-based games where you’re plunged into an alien planet with nothing but your guns and friends to back you up. Like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/helldivers-2/">Helldivers 2</a>’s relentless spread of democracy, Deep Rock Galactic is a first-person shooter about heroic dwarves fighting for rock and stone.</p>  

<p>It’s best played with friends, or a group of like-minded people. The gameplay loop pretty much involves you and your brothers and sisters harvesting resources, running away from bugs, and getting the hell off that planet.</p> 

<p>The kicker here is that you’re forced to dig underneath the surface. This makes more room for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/best/strategy/">strategy</a> where roles are equally shared depending on the objective. This mix-and-match offers enough replay value to play again and again until your employer showers you with credits.</p>

<h2>9.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/journey-to-the-savage-planet/">Journey To The Savage Planet: Employee Of The Month</a></h2>
<p><em>2023</em></p>

<p>A surprisingly short and sweet FPS adventure is what Journey To The Savage Planet is all about. If you think this is just another <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/no-mans-sky/">No Man’s Sky</a> or any other <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/best/survival/">survival</a> crafting game out there, you’re wrong.</p>

<p>After crash landing into this alien planet, you’re tasked to survey every nook and cranny all for the sake of survival. Once you get used to its systems, such as upgrading your tools and collecting enough resources, there’s a breadth of activities waiting for you.</p> 

<p>It’s also a game that doesn’t take itself seriously. It downplays your terrible situation with its humorous menus and dialogue, making your journey less frustrating.</p> 

<p>Within 10 or fewer hours of playtime, you’ve about explored most of what the planet has to offer. It doesn’t overstay its welcome and that’s what makes it great.</p> 

<h2>8.      <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/trepang2/">Trepang2</a></h2>
<p><em>2023</em></p>

<p>Upon first glance, you’ll notice how crazy Trepang2 is. If there’s a game that makes us feel like we’re the Terminator, this one’s gotta be it.</p>  

<p>This first-person shooter is all about destruction. As an elite superhuman soldier with no memory of his past, you’re on a rampage to reclaim your missing memories. Using your supernatural powers, fend off waves of enemies, including grunts, cultists, and even man-made horrors.</p> 

<p>A lot of players seem to compare this to the FEAR series, calling it a spiritual successor to the classic supernatural shooter. There’s no mistake here, there are a lot of similarities and what’s not to love about that?</p> 

<h2>7.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/prodeus/">Prodeus</a></h2>
<p><em>2022</em></p>

<p>Resembling that of a shooter from the 90s, Prodeus blends retro and modern aesthetics in a singular project that plays like a AAA title.</p> 

<p>There’s a lot of inspiration behind Prodeus. One could tell it takes a lot from DOOM and other old-school boomer shooters, but once you get your hands on it, its gameplay feels seamless the moment you shoot your gun. The hand-crafted visuals are a nice touch that makes it feel old when it technically isn’t.</p> 

<p>It comes with a campaign that’s reminiscent of the classics as well as a competitive online mode to play with other players and climb the leaderboards. It’s a love-letter to the FPS genre and Prodeus is a shining example.</p>


<h2>6.   <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/warhammer-40000-boltgun/">Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun</a></h2>
<p><em>2023</em></p>

<p>The latest Warhammer FPS in the market. Boltgun gives you the power fantasy of being a badass Space Marine. With its frenetic moment to moment action, it’s made for both fans of Warhammer lore and retro shooters.</p>  

<p>Like Prodeus, Boltgun follows the same formula of blending old school and modern. Yet its gameplay and combat are designed for the new-gen format. Both games serve as a homage to a bygone era of games, reminding every player that boomer shooters will always find their way again.</p> 


<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/synapse/">Synapse</a></h2>
<p><em>2023</em></p>

<p>This PlayStation 5 exclusive is the best PSVR2 game so far. It makes full use of Sony’s proprietary VR hardware to deliver the most immersive first-person shooter to exist on their list of VR titles.</p> 

<p>Taking place in an alternate dimension, grab a gun and take down enemies in good ol’ VR shootouts. Winning isn’t just about aiming for the head. Synapse’s best feature lets you have the power of telekinesis. Grabbing objects and enemies makes you feel like a Jedi. This makes the shooting more dynamic, providing you with more options to eliminate foes with style and precision.</p>
 

<h2>4.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/high-on-life/">High on Life</a></h2>
<p><em>2023</em></p>

<p>There’s a lot to expect when you’re a videogame created by the man behind Rick and Morty. Justin Roiland sets his sights on a first-person shooter sci-fi game that could rival Starfield or Cyberpunk, I mean… not really.</p> 
 
<p>This irreverent take on scifi takes High On Life to the weirdest corners of space. You’re basically a man with a gun that doesn’t stop yapping. Fans of Rick and Morty might find this hilarious, but for others who just want to shoot aliens, this can be a frustrating addition.</p> 

<p>Either way, High On Life succeeds at overloading the senses with its fantastic visual presentation, witty writing and off the rails space adventure</p>
 

<h2>3.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/pistol-whip/">Pistol Whip</a></h2>
<p><em>2023</em></p>

<p>We’ve reached our top three and there doesn’t seem to be a single game that takes itself seriously. Which is a good thing.</p> 

<p>Pistol Whip is exactly what you think it is. It turns you into a gunslinging hero in a matter of minutes. However, what sets it apart from other VR shooters is that it’s not reliant on gun reflexes alone, it’s also a <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/best/rhythm/">rhythm</a> game.</p> 

<p>As you batter your enemies with bullets, you can create a melodic pace that is difficult to master. Having you grooving while shooting in a way only Pistol Whip can do.</p>


<h2>2.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/postal-brain-damaged/">POSTAL: Brain Damaged</a></h2>
<p><em>2023</em></p>

<p>You might be surprised why POSTAL: Brain Damaged ranks #2 in this list. Apparently, the PlayStation website has it scored at a 4 out of 5 with over 170 ratings.  It’s one of those games that are ‘so bad, it’s good’ and Postal has maximized on that reputation in Brain Damanged with more unhinged content.</p>

<p>It is definitely an improvement from its previous entries. The shooting is smoother this time around and there's a certain challenge in its gameplay.</p> 

<p>It still doesn’t escape the fact that it’s a relic of the bygone era of the early 2000s. You might say this is a ‘boomer’ shooter in the literal sense. A lot of its humor might not hit younger audiences, but to the oldies, this can be something to laugh at. 
</p> 

<h2>1.    <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/neon-white/">Neon White</a></h2>
<p><em>2022</em></p>

<p>Taking the crown for the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/best/">best PlayStation 5 FPS</a> is none other than Neon White. It is a prime example of making the genre fresh yet familiar. There are no 50v50 battle royales or talking guns. It’s a stylish shooter that encourages speedruns.</p>

<p>The gist of Neon White is optimizing your run to get the quickest time possible in a level. There are numerous ways to do it and the game doesn’t punish you for mistakes. Pair it with a soundtrack from Machine Girl and you’ll be speeding through its courses with your head bopping to the music. 
You can ignore the cheesy visual novel story since it’s obviously the least charming thing about it. But if you want a responsive FPS that feels like you’re a god going through the motions,  Neon White is a great pick.

New Reveals For Until Then, Selfloss And Other Maximum Entertainment Titles

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/sker-ritual/">Sker Ritual</a>, the spin-off to the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/horror/">horror</a> title <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/maid-of-sker/">Maid of Sker</a>, will leave Early Access next month.</p>

<p>Developers from Wales Interactive confirmed they will release the full version of Sker Ritual this <strong>April 18</strong>. On top of it, they will also launch the round-based <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/survival/">survival</a> horror to consoles like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/maid-of-sker/">PlayStation 5</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/maid-of-sker/">Xbox Series X/S</a>.</p>

<p>Sker Ritual debuted on PC in 2022 and spent approximately a year and a half in Early Access. The game is still set in the Sker Island universe. The year is 1914. Monsters called the Quiet Ones have returned to haunt the island.</p>

<p>Either through solo or a <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/online-coop/">co-op</a> of up to four members, players must fight and survive through them while exploring the mysteries of Sker Island.</p>

<p>"Shoot through hordes of enemies, collect Celtic God powers, upgrade an arsenal of steampunk weapons, and attempt to defeat the evil on Sker Island," the game's description read.</p>

<p>Players will face waves of these bloodthirsty enemies, each with unique tactics and abilities. Aside from the ordinary Quiet Ones, they will also face new 'Elite' Quiet Ones. These foes have enhanced supernatural powers that will test players in their ability to shift strategy and weaponry.</p>

<p>The game also challenges players in mastering a diverse arsenal of upgradable steampunk weapons. With these, they can dispatch foes with firepower and utilize special "Miracles" dropped by fallen enemies to gain a tactical edge.</p>

<p>On the other hand, developers promised to introduce new content for the 1.0 update of Sker Ritual. This included new objectives, weapons, and story content, Wales Interactive said.</p>

<p>In addition, they also teased players, particularly fans of Maid of Sker, of an expanded story lore. This will allow them to learn about Sker Island's troubled past and the origins of the Quiet Ones.</p>

<p>In the meantime, pre-orders are now open for Sker Ritual's Xbox and <a href="https://store.playstation.com/en-tr/product/EP4459-PPSA14196_00-SKERRITUALSIEE02">PlayStation</a> editions. / ### </p>

Sker Ritual to Leave Early Access this April

<p>The award-winning <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/best/puzzle/">puzzle</a> game <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/paper-trail/">Paper Trail</a> finally has a release date.</p>

<p>Newfangled Cames announced they will roll out Paper Trail this <strong>May 21, 2024</strong>. The game will make its way to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/paper-trail/">PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/paper-trail/">PlayStation</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/paper-trail/">Xbox</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/paper-trail/">iOS</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/paper-trail/">Android</a> via Netflix Games, according to the indie developer. They also confirmed that they will release a <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/paper-trail/">Switch version</a> during its launching day.</p>

<p>With weeks left before its debut, the Hoffman brothers of Newfangled Games also revealed some of the new content and items they added into the game.</p>

<p>"And since the demo we've added loads and loads of really cool things that we never thought we'd be able to a few years ago," they wrote on Steam.</p>

<p>Upon its release, players can expect bespoke illustrations, a quirky cast, and new environments. Developers also confirmed they can pet the cat in Paper Trail.</p>

<p>"We've been able to make something that we're all very proud of here," the Hoffman brothers added.
Meanwhile, Newfangled Games has dropped a new trailer about the Paper Trail.</p>

<p>Aside from the game's iconic, hand-drawn, paper-based world, the trailer introduced players to the lore behind it. The video showed the protagonist Paige navigating between school and family. The latest trailer also confirmed that Paige can interact with several objects surrounding her. Paper Trail has been generating buzz since its initial reveal at Gamescom 2022.</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
   <iframe width="1515" height="852" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JjPVDgVMdWo" title="Paper Trail - Official Release Date Trailer" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>The game tells the story of Paige, a bookish young woman who wants to be the first in her village to attend university.
Players embark on Paige's journey through a world entirely crafted from paper. This means the game's core mechanics involves manipulating papers like folding them to reveal hidden paths.</p>

<p>Paper Trail has already picked up over 38 awards and accolades, Newfangled Games said. The game has been awarded the ‘Best Family Game’ at the <a href="https://b2b.gamescom.global/gamescom/the-gamescom/gamescom-award/">Gamescom Awards</a>, ‘Game of the Year’ at Reboot Develop, ‘Most Innovative’ at IndieX, and ‘Best International Game’ at <a href="https://sxswsydney.com/game/paper-trail/">SXSW Sydney</a>. / ### </p>
