Wallet threat level: made-up physics, plus demons & babies

, | Games

Two games stand out to me this week. Screamer is an anime-themed arcade racer, but I’m always nervous about arcade racers since they have to make up their physics. Sometimes I love the physics they’ve made up, sometimes I hate them, and sometimes I can’t even grok them. The other game that looks interesting is Damon & Baby. A demon teaming up with a baby is already an intriguing premise, but then there’s the top-down shooting and crazy traversals I’ve seen in the trailer.
