NO MORE ROOM IN HELL 2

Developer/publisher Torn Banner Studios

Format PC

Origin Canada

Release TBA

One of the direst enemies in any zombie survival game is familiarity. This, and the contempt it engenders, is a foe that Torn Banner Studios has clearly thought about at length. There’s a lot here you’ll be expecting: you’re dropped into a barren post-industrial wilderness to pick your way through the shambling hordes of infected; you must scavenge weapons, patch up injuries and ensure you never find yourself surrounded. But this is also an eight-player co-op game that you always begin in exactly the same way – alone.

It’s a thrillingly distinct way to kick things off, and dictates the pace. Your first task, after taking stock of your meagre starting supplies (a pipe, a flashlight and a few rounds of ammo), is to work out where everyone else is. A glance at the in-game compass may show a few people within a couple of hundred yards, but then you set off to meet them and the world seems dauntingly dark, the scrabbly American midwestern landscape delivered as a mass of shadows, with only occasional pinpricks of light giving any shape to it.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector

Stabiliser was the core of Citizen Sleeper, in both its mechanics and metaphors. It was medication, essentially, the only way to halt your own planned obsolescence. As an android Sleeper, you'd been sold into indentured servitude by your 'original', the person who signed a contract to have their personality copied and emulated inside a robotic frame, as cheap labour. That kind of corporate arrangement is rarely built to last.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD

Buy the deluxe edition of this HD Wii remake and, alongside the cartridge, you'll receive a little plastic barrel. While the Kong family has been synonymous with such vessels since 1981, a cynic might suggest that underlining the connection might be unwise, lest Nintendo be accused of scraping the bottom of one itself. After all, Tropical Freeze got this same treatment in 2018, courtesy of Nintendo's realisation, in the early days of Switch, that it now had a home for Wii U's more unfairly forgotten releases. The arrival, seven years later, of that game's relatively primitive predecessor can only seem like a final spot of mopping up before the Switch doors are closed for good. It could also, perhaps, be taken as another sign of renewed interest in the character, in light of the addition of a Donkey Kong Country area to the Super Nintendo World park in Japan, and the rumours of a cinematic spinoff that have circled since The Super Mario Bros Movie's enormous success.
