Weekly Game News #46 2024

Nov 14, 2024

Dear Friends,

I hope you are all doing well. It's getting colder in the part of the world where I live and I'm finding the time to catch up on games which I've been planning to play for a while. Right now I'm in the middle of Red Dead Redemtion 2 and I'm really enjoying it. Aside from older titles, I've also found a mix of fast-paced racing, Japanese stealth duels and epic journeys through musical worlds and cosmic outposts this week.

Let's just get started.

| Upcoming Games

Retrowave 2

Imagine the perfect, neon-lit '80s highway, bathed in synthwave beats as supercars speed down the road. Retrowave 2 brings back that retro-futuristic world with a lineup of souped-up cars, which you can earn and upgrade as you go. Get ready to dodge traffic, admire the neon, and just drive.

For those who like to have a soundtrack while reading, my recommendation this time is the Homeworld Remastered Soundtrack. I’ve only recently discovered it, and the ambiance is very nice.

That's it for this issue. Thank you for being there again. I'll now get back to developing my own game and watching the sunset in Red Dead Redemtion 2 when I get the chance. :) Have a good one.

Greetings
