We are approaching the end of November with a week full of releases in the video game scene. As is customary, we bring you a compilation of their most anticipated releases, along with some lesser-known, but equally interesting, proposals. Between November 25 and 29, 2024, titles for Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, mobile devices and PC will be made available to players.
Lots to choose from
First of all, we highlight ‘Nine Suns‘, a game of platforms and 2D action with a rich, hand-drawn narrative, which comes to consoles after its applauded run on PC. Another title that generates high expectations for us is ‘Neon Blood‘, a Cyberpunk graphic adventure RPG with a 2.5D aesthetic, using 2D PixelArt sprites and 3D environments. Besides, ‘Critter Cafe‘ invites us to create and manage a cafe, take care of creatures and explore mysterious portals in a relaxing and colorful environment.
But this is not all; other games also debut this week, such as ‘30 Birds‘ for PC. In this experience, players follow a young detective named Zig, who is sent to the bustling Lantern City to track down a scientist, accompanied by Abubi, a humorous hoopoe who will help her on her mission. As you explore this fascinating city, you’ll solve puzzles and meet a host of eccentric characters.
Another title to keep in mind is ‘Shines Over: The Damned‘, a game of first person experimental horror developed by Firenut Games, which promises to test your senses and question your perception of reality. Here you will have no name, memory or weapons. You will only be accompanied by your faithful German shepherd dog, who will guide you through a dark and terrifying world. To finish, we relax the atmosphere with ‘Critter Cafe‘ for Switch and PC, which will invite us to manage a cafeteria run by adorable creatures. Aiming to create a welcoming environment, you will serve customers and expand your business in a colorful and relaxing environment.
