New Games for the month – At the end of the month, Afrilatest will discuss the most important games that have appeared. With this time Saints Row, Cult of the Lamb, Soul Hackers 2 and Spider-Man.

Saints Row

Platforms: PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, PC, Stadia
Rating: 2 stars

For years, the Saints Row series was a kind of little brother of the famous Grand Theft Auto (GTA). Also in these games you go out in a big city to commit all kinds of crimes while you get the complete freedom to drive around. Later installments turned into cleverly written parodies, which took GTA and games in general to task.

The new Saints Row serves as a reboot, which should put the series back on the map. Unfortunately, that seems to fail: the result is a game full of crashes and other mistakes, and a somewhat dull story that dares to go in few directions. The smooth tone of the previous parts is gone here, to make way for a half-finished clone of GTA. One that is not very fun to play.

Spider-Man Remastered (PC) – New Games for the month

Platforms: PC, previously PlayStation 4 and 5
Rating: 4 stars

Spider-Man previously appeared for the PlayStation 4, got a remaster on the PlayStation 5 and has now also been released for the PC. You play as the famous superhero, who can swing around all over Manhattan while solving crimes.

The game has now been transferred by the Dutch company Nixxes, which was recently acquired by Sony. They did that well: in our tests, the game ran fine, even on a PC with an older video card.

What makes the PC version of Spider-Man especially special is that it can also be played on the portable Steam Deck game console. You then have to pull the graphics settings down a bit, but it continues to look extremely nice on such a small screen. It also feels special that a game that recently attracted a lot of attention on the PlayStation 5 can now be played on the train on the go. A good technical performance of a Dutch company.

Cult of the Lamb

Platforms: PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, PC, Nintendo Switch
Rating: 3.5 stars

In this game, you play a lamb who is sacrificed to a demon, who then makes a pact to survive and starts his own cult by recruiting other animals. That sounds serious, but Cult of the Lamb presents its story as a jolly cartoon.

Game-wise, Cult of the Lamb is simple: you fight your way through levels, gather new followers, and then let them build your base. As you play longer, you’ll unlock new upgrades and go deeper into the levels. – New Games for the month

Fighting is fun, although it is a bit simple. In addition, this is a game that you finish after about 13 hours, without there being any reasons to continue the game or start again, for example, afterwards. At most, it makes it a funny snack, which is now very popular on streaming site Twitch. The game can communicate closely with your stream, so that your viewers can influence how the game goes.

Soul Hackers 2 – New Games for the month

Platforms: PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, PC
Rating: 3.5 stars

A sequel to a Japanese role-playing game that appeared on Nintendo 3DS years ago, from the company that was previously responsible for the critically acclaimed Persona games. In a futuristic Japan, where you use demons to fight.

Above all, it’s a beautiful game. Soul Hackers 2 takes place in a world where everyone is stylishly dressed, enveloped by sleek and creative menus. You notice that the earlier Persona 5 has been looked at, which was also so stylized.

Game-wise, Soul Hackers is a bit less revolutionary. You traverse dungeons and take turns fighting, which you often see with genre peers. The game does little new with that, which makes it a somewhat conservative title. Fine if you want an old-fashioned role-playing game and no more than that expected.
