Cats rule in Games With Gold
While the whole world falls under the feline charm of strayMicrosoft is delivering a whole different kind of cat experience with Calico. This indie simulation proposes to manage and develop its small feline community by rebuilding a cat bar with the help of fantastic local characters. The decor and customer service will be crucial in attracting as many cats as possible to the establishment and restoring it to its former glory.
Whether Calico seems too relaxed, so ScourgeBringer should shake the sleeping player a bit. In a post-apocalyptic pixel world, the player will take on the role of Kyhra, a warrior in search of answers about her past and the future of her species, and ready to wage war against the ancient machines that sow trouble.
While waiting for the arrival of its reboot next month, Saint’s Row 2 will be the perfect wake-up call for those who want to re-explore the origins of the Johnny Gat myth. This extravagant second episode propelled the open-world franchise to a wider audience with its irreverent jokes, heavy content and uninhibited atmosphere. Finally, because a robbery is never done alone, Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine offers to carry out the heists of the century in cooperation with up to 3 players.
