Can confirm, was kid in the 90s. Sadly the reality of working in the industry did not measure up. Same as being a paleontologist, strangely enough.

If you’d like to don your eyepatch and tricorn, a dev build (ie Denuvo-less) of v1.0.6 got leaked last November.

Fine print at the bottom says it’s footage from Switch 2 version, which there’d be no need to specify if it was an exclusive.

Calling 3 a soulslike is kinda stretching it, I think. I would say rather that 3 does exploration and upgrades similarly to 1 but has combat that’s more similar to 2. I do think they’re definitely worth getting though.

Damn, really? That sucks, thanks for the heads up.

2&3 are both “here’s what the others were doing while War was chained up for a hundred years”. Their stories are set in motion because of the premature apocalypse, and will probably have implications for humanity further in the future, but there’s no impact on War directly, aside from 3 implying

, and I don’t expect any plot points from 2&3 to come back up during 4.

As for Genesis, the main thing you should keep in mind is that it isn’t a mainline game. It’s more an isometric twin stick shooter/hack’n’slash, and the gameplay isn’t as deep as with the main games. But it’s got co-op, if you have someone to play with, and it does provide some characterization for Strife as well as showing an example of the sorts of missions the Horsemen took for the Charred Council.

For anyone having issues with the site, the giveaway code is freedomtobuygames which you might have better luck redeeming via Galaxy.

I personally enjoyed Genesis, but it wasn’t a solo Strife game. You play as both Strife and War.

I guess breaking the seventh seal also revived Fury’s horse. But also, no solo game for Strife? Sadface.
