Imposter Factory aka To the Moon 3 is launching soon, official trailer out

Kan Gao, creator of To the Moon and Finding Paradise released the official trailer for the third and final game in the To the Moon series: Imposter Factory:

According to the game’s Steam page, Imposter Factory will feature time-loops, a murder mystery, and what looks like a really tall cat. It’s coming “soon-ish”.

I will say that To the Moon is probably one of the best “story” indie games that I’ve played, especially since it often goes on sale for something like 2 dollars. The sequel is also solid though lacking the same emotional punch as the first. I’m all about the emotional punches.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe comes to Switch on October 30

So I’ve just discovered that the Pikmin series is about an alien guy who keeps crash-landing on the same planet that’s filled with onions that can be planted and eventually grow into little guys with special abilities. Hmm.

The latest entry, Pikmin 3 Deluxe is headed to the Nintendo Switch on October 30, and brings a bunch of intriguing new features such as the ability to play the story mode with a friend, new side missions, and all DLC. Note that this is basically a re-release: Pikmin 3 actually came out on Wii U in 2013. (Anyone out there remember the Wii U? Anyone?)

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is now available to preload on Steam

We’re two days away from the official release of the Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition for PC, and you can now preload the game on Steam. Early reviews of the port are pretty solid, with the game currently fetching an 86 on Metacritic.

I finished the PS4 version of the game long before I started this blog, but if I were to write about it today, it would probably be something like this: Horizon Zero Dawn is one of few open-world action games with the perfect intersection of intriguing story and ultra-satisfying combat (against giant mechanical dinosaurs). Highly recommended.

Street Fighter V Summer Update reveals New Fighters: Dan, Rose, Oro, Akira

Capcom wants you to know that Street Fighter V still exists, and in fact is bringing in a new slate of characters that include Dan, Rose, Oro and Akira (who’s from Rival Schools – can we get another game in this series? thanks)

Sorry, I’m still bitter that I bought this game on release and then abandoned it a month later. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 forever.
