Once Human

  • Release date: July 9, 2024

If you like post-apocalyptic settings, Once Human is a title worth considering.

As one of the survivors, you will have to fight this outworld menace and uncover its secrets. You can do it alone or join forces with other players.

  • Release date: July 11, 2024

Anger Foot seems like an FPS that Quentin Tarantino is going to love because your main weapon is your feet. Firearms will also be required to complete your missions in Shit City, but the kicking plays the first fiddle. Players can even equip the protagonist with different footwear. The gameplay resembles Hotline Miami, but Anger Foot uses the first-person perspective instead of a top-down camera.
