Hot Wheels Unleashed was announced not too long ago, and if you’re in the mood to see a mechanical shark skeleton outfitted with a V8 engine doing loops on a crazy course, then fella do I have some good news for you.

Outriders is old school action that stands tall as a satisfying and vulgar display of power that’s fast, frantic, and pure fun.

The Beatles once crooned that all you need is love, proving once and for all that the quartet of drugged-up minstrels are massive idiots. All you really need is a steady supply of chunky guns, a battlefield full of enemies to turn into bloody giblets, and unlimited temporal powers born from an alien storm that rewrote your existence on a quantum level.

Deathloop, a timey-wimey assassin-em-up game where you need eyes in the back of your head lest they be blinded with a well-placed bullet, is going to be a little bit late to the party.

Balan Wonderworld is a game of missed opportunities. It’s simplified control scheme robs it of any of the subtle complexity that the genre is best at, its various ideas are half-baked at best, and its core gameplay is a taxing uphill climb through even the most basic of platforming principles. Amusing visual design aside, the only thing that Balan Wonderworld is good at is being consistently boring.

This week’s Spring update focused on new characters, content and tournaments that’ll be coming to the game, which includes brawlers such as Rose, Oro, and Rival Schools' Akira as a guest star. Rose will land in Street Fighter V on April 19, and her new V-Skill Soul Fortune allows her to either buff herself or debuff an opponent with an arsenal of tarot cards. Other than that, Street Fighter 4 players will find a largely familiar moveset to reacquaint themselves with.

The last time that Harold Halibut was in the news, was way back in the dark year of 2018 during GDC. That’s three years ago, which in Internet-years equates to several centuries worth of memes. Heck, that’s an entire three Call of Duties! German studio Slow Bros. didn’t just vanish off the face of the planet though, as the initial demo reel for Harold Halibut showed off an early glimpse of a game that was painstakingly hand-crafted by a small team.

Abandoned has you stepping into the shoes of a dude who is straight-up not having a good time bro. Kidnapped by the local loonies in a religious cult that’s one Kool-Aid drink away from making headlines, you’re all alone in a very thick forest that probably has a few corpses from the Blair Witch Project floating around, and something is out there.
