Ghostrunner 2

Don’t let the fast-paced motorcycle sections, larger levels or cyberspace fool you – Ghostrunner 2’s Jack is still very much the cyber-ninja bad-ass as in the previous game. Deflecting attacks, slicing through foes, parkouring through neon-lit environments, and one-hit kills are still part of the gameplay loop. The new abilities and rogue-like mode further add to the experience, even if there’s a lot of trial and error involved to progress forward.

N++

Xbox One might not be anyone’s first thought when they want a hardcore platform game, but there’s a surprising amount to be found. N++ is Metanet’s follow up to XBLA darling N+ and though it originally launched as a PS4 and PC title, the return to the Xbox Platform has the minimalistic ninja runner as gloriously, and infuriatingly hard, as it ever was. 

The PlayStation 4 exclusive indie platformer game, N++, will be launching later this month on July 28, Sony announced today. The game is set in the distant future, and sees players play the role of a ninja, who must make his way through deadly, hand crafted levels – all 2,360 of them – and evade the lethal traps and homicidal robots that populate all of them.

If over 2,000 actual designed levels wasn’t enough to keep you returning, the game will also have leaderboards and a level editor, where you can create and share your own maps with the world.

N++ will be available on the PS Store July 28 for $19.99, and if you are a PS Plus user, you can grab it for $15.99 if you pre-order. Personally, if ever there was a game that should be pre-ordered, this is it- it looks great, and it has a staggering amount of content.

Stay tuned for more coverage, and check out the trailer below.

First off, it has announced that Thomas Was Alone creator Mike Bethell’s Volume will be debuting on the PS4 and PS Vita exclusively next year. The game is a mix of Minecraft and Metal Gear in which the player must steal and effectively remix his surroundings.

Hotline Miami 2 will also be making its way to the console and handheld next year, but Dennaton Games’ next game, Wasteland Kings will also be exclusive to the PS4 and Vita.
