Dead Cells (PC, Switch, PS4, Xbox One – Aug. 7)
Dead Cells is what happens when you mesh the delightfully charming 2D visuals of games gone by and the challenging, but methodical combat of something like Dark Souls together. What you’re left with is an engrossing Metroidvania RPG title that really impressed us when we checked it out in early access.
Not only will you need to master the combat in Dead Cells, you’ll also need to memorize the many different corridors and environments as you explore its world, as the abilities you unlock later can be used to help you reach previously inaccessible areas. Where Dead Cells particularly excels is in its vast variety of weapons, which only help play into the challenging but rewarding combat system. We’re looking forward to checking out the full product when it finally releases out of early access on Aug. 7.
