There’s not a whole lot of quantity this week on the Xbox Games Store, but there’s certainly a quality selection available thus far.
As of this morning, we have Gearbox’s much anticipated release of Battleborn, the excellent SUPERHOT (our PC review here), and the uber creepy The Park, which round out a pretty strong set of new titles.
Of course there’s also a Deals With Gold And Spotlight Sale + Microsoft Publisher & ID@Xbox Game Fest Sale event going on at the moment, so be sure to peruse the cheaper wares and content.
Read on.
Battleborn ($59.99)
A tremendous band of badass heroes fight to protect the universe?s very last star from a mysterious evil in this next-gen shooter by the creators of Borderlands. Slash and parry, run and gun, cast and dash, or simply obliterate foes while building and growing your personal team of heroes.The Park ($12.99)
Set in a creepy amusement park hiding a dark and sinister secret, The Park is a one to two hour long first-person psychological horror experience focusing on intense storytelling and exploration instead of combat and action. A day at the park? a lost teddy bear? a missing child. As the sun sets over Atlantic Island Park, you must explore its dilapidated rides in search of your son, Callum.SUPERHOT ($24.99)
Blurring the lines between cautious strategy and unbridled mayhem, SUPERHOT is the FPS in which time moves only when you move. No regenerating health bars. No conveniently placed ammo drops. It?s just you, outnumbered and outgunned, grabbing the weapons of fallen enemies to shoot, slice, and maneuver through a hurricane of slow-motion bullets. With its unique, stylized graphics SUPERHOT finally adds something new and disruptive to the FPS genre. SUPERHOT?s polished, minimalist visual language helps you concentrate on the most important ? on the fluidity of gameplay and cinematic beauty of the fight.
