Need For Speed Heat races back to the series’ roots
In less than two weeks, we'll be prowling the neon-streaked streets of Need For Speed Heat.
While the previous few titles in the franchise took a different direction, after playing the demo of Heat, it's safe to say that the series is trying to get back on track. Going back to the roots of what made the series so enjoyable,...
Main Assembly is a robot-building puzzle game for makers
Everyone loves creating; and solving puzzles; and robots. Robots are cool. Indie developer Bad Yolk takes all of that and assembles it for something new with Main Assembly, a robot-building puzzle game coming very soon to Steam Early Access.

Thinking Outside the Bots
"But isn't a game where you build robots something that's been done before?" That was my first thought...
Boundary is a competitive FPS where you can shoot literally in any direction
Boundary is a multiplayer first-person shooter set in space. Not on an alien planet or inside a spaceship, but astronauts fighting in the cold vastness of space, floating above Earth in low orbit.
The game is developed by Surgical Scalpels, and we got to play a few rounds of space warfare with them at Gamescom 2019.

Bake ‘n Switch left us hungry for more at Gamescom 2019
We here at GamersPack play a lot of Overcooked together. We love working as a team towards a common goal while we scream our lungs out at each other until someone cries. It's the best.
That is why we jumped at the opportunity to play Bake 'n Switch at Gamescom. It's a four-player co-op game with a cooking theme that...
Star Renegades combines a classic JRPG with Shadow of Mordor
Star Renegades immediately stands out due to its impressive pixel art visuals. But after playing it at Gamescom 2019, I can tell you there are many more reasons to be excited about this roguelite RPG.

Mosaic can be depressing, but it doesn’t have to be
Mosaic is a game about the grinding, joyless routine of all work and no play. It is about isolation in a society that’s more comfortable staring at a screen than acknowledging the existence of another person.
But it’s also a game about finding beauty in everyday moments, in music and the world around you. It’s a depressing game, but also...
Röki is a beautiful little tale inspired by Scandinavian folklore
Röki is one of the most impressive games I played at Gamescom 2019. From the very first seconds into its demo, it was already clear to me this game has something special, whether it's the art style, animations, or narrative design.

Since I was chatting with the developers while playing, I couldn't focus on the story all that much. So...
Sow by day and fight by night in nuclear farming game Atomicrops
Atomicrops is probably one of the craziest, funniest games I got to play at Gamescom 2019. This game puts you in the role of a farmer searching for weird new seeds to sow on his farm and fighting hordes of monsters.
While the demo I got to play at Gamescom was far from finished, I'll try and share my experience...
Remothered: Broken Porcelain scatters across all platforms in 2020
Remothered: Broken Porcelain was one of the surprise announcements during Gamescom Opening Night Live. I was even more surprised to learn that the “Unannounced Horror Title” I was scheduled to see at Gamescom 2019 a couple of days later was, in fact, the very same game.

In case you’re not quite sure what the Remothered series is, let me catch...
Killsquad proves that friends who blow stuff up together, stay together
I knew Killsquad is my kind of game the second I saw it. I could tell just by how passionate its developers are that it's going to be one of the best experiences of Gamescom 2019. I wasn't wrong.
