All of a sudden, it's the end of October and it's another busy week with two major releases. In the first one, you get to be a scavenger in a futuristic post-post-apocalyptic world, whereas in the other, you get to be the hero no-one asked for, but got anyhow and it too takes place in the future, but on an alien planet. This is followed by a four player co-op survival horror game with several twists, an bloodthirsty monsters island survival horror game, a re-make of a couple of classic RPG games and finally some more survival horror, this time with a '90's theme.
ARC Raiders / This week's first major release / Thursday 30 October
In ARC Raiders, gameplay flows between the surface ruled by lethal machines, and the vibrant underground society of Speranza. Craft, repair, and upgrade your gear in the safety of your own workshop, before venturing topside to scavenge the remnants of a devastated but beautiful world. Play solo or in parties up to three, navigating the constant threat of ARC's machines and the unpredictable choices of fellow survivors. In the end, only you decide what kind of Raider you are - and how far you'll go to prevail. Steam link
