Screamer (PC, PS5, XSX/S)

I don't like making drastic changes to well-established genres. screamer It turned out to be one of the most anticipated games of the year. Two based racing games, e.g. moto gp) and even weirder ones (Hot Wheels Released), screamer It combines a dramatic anime-influenced narrative with engaging arcade racing mechanics. The game's cyberpunk world, aggressive racing gameplay, and colorful playable characters are a breath of fresh air in the racing space, so we're excited to see how it turns out.

Midnight Walk (Switch 2)

The game actually launched last spring, but March 26th is when it will migrate to Nintendo Switch 2. With a striking visual style based on real claymation, Midnight Walk It's definitely one of the most aesthetically unique video games I've seen in quite some time. This alone may be worth the price of admission for some people. If I gave up Midnight Walk If you want to experience it when it launched last year or on the versatile Switch 2, your chance will come soon.
