2D side scrolling beat 'em up game, Way Of The Passive Fist to release on March 6, 2018

'Way Of The Passive Fist', a throwback 90s styled side scrolling beat 'em up game is set to launch on March 6, 2018 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles and on will launch on Steam for PC just a day after. Developed and published by Household Games Inc., the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious Wanderer roaming the planet Zircon V.

As the name suggests, the protagonist uses defensive abilities like parrying, dodging and deflecting in order to tire the opponents and then strike. You build up combos as you parry attacks and then unleash fatal counterattacks at the right moment. The game offers you the ability to set the difficulty level but not in the conventional preset sense. Instead you can customize your difficulty by messing with a few sliders that increase or decrease things like the enemy strength, number of encounters, resourcefulness and more.

The Wanderer gets a mech arm that absorbs then energy from incoming attacks and allows you to unleash cool looking offensive abilities and even grab and throw opponents. This arm can also be used to interact with the objects in the surroundings that can reveal secrests and even tactical advantage.

The art style, 2D graphics and soundtrack all attribute to the nostalgic feeling that you will get just by looking at the trailer that has been masterfully synced to fight sounds.

Red Dead Redemption 2 release date pushed back to 26 October 2018

Fans of Red Dead Redemption will have to wait a little longer to have their hands on their redemption, till 26 October 2018 precisely (and hopefully). Rockstar Games recently stated that it is going to push back the release of 'Red Dead Redemption 2' game in order to polish it further and even said that, "the wait will have been worth it."

While we are almost dying to play the next installment in the series, since the last game that came out all the way back in 2010, we also believe in Rockstar's better judgement. So until as we wait for this sequel to Red Dead Redemption, that is actually a prequel in terms of the storyline, we will just be in San Andreas!

Freeride Mode added in free update to Descenders

Extreme downhill racing game, 'Descenders', received its first major update and it is free to download. The update adds the highly requested Freeride Mode and more gear to the game.

The Freeride mode will allow players to build a track of their own liking and even share it with other players. This can be a nice departure from the regular procedurally generated maps that the game throws at you. Along with this, the update offers bug fixes, adds new kits and support for two languages - Portuguese & Estonian.

Developed by Dutch studio Rage Squid and published by No More Robots (but why?), the game was launched on February 9, 2018 as an Early Access title on Steam. The game has been priced at Rs 569 ($24.99/£19.49) and according to the developer, the price will not change even after the game is completed, which itself would take 6-8 months. Descenders will soon be making it to Xbox One via Game Preview and to PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch later on.
