This Week in Gaming (Week 44)
As we're about to enter the month of November, October leaves us with a couple of final game releases. This week's AA release is a sequel to a puzzle game that was quite popular when it launched at the end of 2014. The remaining titles this coming week includes RPGs, something musical, something to do with leagues and legends, a cop that's a robot and some seasons greetings.
The Talos Principle 2 / This week's AA title / Thursday 2 November
Born into a new world where biological humanity is extinct but human culture lives on in a city of robots, you find yourself swept up in a mind-bending adventure involving a mysterious megastructure hiding enormous powers. The more you discover, the more you will be confronted with questions about the nature of the cosmos and the purpose of civilization. The broken promise of a better tomorrow, the fear of repeating humankind's mistakes, faith in reason or renouncing humanity altogether - the choices you make and the sides you take will determine the course of events.
Remore: Infested Kingdom / Monday 30 October
A challenging turn-based tactical RPG that transports you into a medieval apocalyptic infestation. Your survivors are fragile, and every step you take could be your last.
Headbangers: Rhythm Royale / Tuesday 31 October
Headbangers is a light-hearted, Rhythm Battle Royale Game where you and 29 other Pigeons compete against each other, all to complete your quest of claiming the title of Master Headbanger!
Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story / Wednesday 1 November
Join best friends Nunu and Willump on an adventure across the frozen wilds of the Freljord. Discover the unbreakable bond between boy and yeti as you traverse a land both beautiful and treacherous, making new allies (and enemies) on a journey of family, friendship, and magic.
RoboCop: Rogue City / Thursday 2 November
Become the iconic part man, part machine, all cop hero and bring justice to the dangerous, crime-ridden streets of Old Detroit. With your powerful Auto-9 or one of the other 20 weapons available, eradicate criminals throughout an explosive first-person adventure.
Ebenezer and the Invisible World / Friday 3 November

but many are a fan of the Robocop movie, the first one (though personally I thought they all had redeeming features)
But because I was a kid when the first one came out, I like it lol..
I always liked the premise, even if the execution thereof was not particularly wonderful.
Is the The Talos Principle 2 apart of the Portal games?
So maybe i should give this new game a chance. Will wait for reviews and performance test before buying. As said before to many games releases unfinished and i will not support such stupid moves.
I might buy it when it's super cheap, but the one I'll definitely have a pop at is the Talos Principle sequel. Loved the first one. It was properly challenging to my ape brain, but also deeply touching.
And if companies had the ability to rebuild you and make you work, they would.
I watched the RoboCop 4K remaster last year and I really enjoyed it, but it has some off-putting moments as well, the animation of the combat robot being one of them. I guess it's just how the stop motion technique looks like.
I'll also mention Alien. Almost everything in that movie looks fantastic, except for the Alien itself, which looks just like a human in a suit, which is what it is.
I'll wait till Robocop
is in the 'less-than-5-euro' sale. has been reviewed.
