This is a realistic-leaning, squad-based shooter where you die very quickly, so it may take a little bit of getting used to. If you thought Battlefield 1 never captured the true horror of that war, both Verdun and Tannenberg do a fantastic job at it.

Tannenberg’s scale is comparable to Battlefield’s with 64-player games, though without vehicles.

Manoeuvre is the main game mode here, designed to replicate encirclement battles of WW1. The original game was more interested in trench warfare, whereas this one covers open combat. As the name suggests, the focus this time is on the Eastern Front where Russia and Germany fought. Like Verdun, Tannenberg is a game that depicts the ruthlessness and misery of the First World War by making you relive warfare tactics of the era. Tannenberg is the standalone expansion to WW1 multiplayer shooter Verdun. Ooblets’ Early Access build arrives on the Epic Games Store, and Xbox One’s Game Preview priced $25 by default, but you'll get it for 20% off if you buy during the first week of release. This week, the developer officially announced a July 15 release date. All presented through a lovely art style full of good vibes. There’s a big customisation component in the game where everything from your outfit to your entire home can be personalised the more items you unlock over the course of the game. When you’re not caring for your Ooblet friends or doing farm work, you can go for a stroll around town, and meet the townsfolk. This unfolds over a game of cards where you get to dictate their moves, and it’s a brilliant way of avoiding having to force these little buggers to fight. Instead of pitting Ooblets against each other in fights, you level them up in dance battles. Except, of course, Ooblets are also cute animal-like creatures that you can befriend, hang out with and level up like a Pokemon. Ooblets has been kicking around for a while, and its unusual approach to the two genres it sits in always stuck with me.Ĭrops, called Ooblets, can be grown and traded like you would in Stardew Valley. Developer Glumberland had the brilliant idea of turning crops into cute animals in Ooblets, the part-farming, and part-creature-collecting game.
