I came across this game the other day and I have to say it looks really interesting. It looks sort of like a cross between Stalker and Bioshock, so consider me very interested. Check out the official site for more information.

Midair, a Kickstarter game that I backed years ago, is now out of early access and free to play. The game is heavily influenced by the classic Tribes games, which I consider to be some of the best multiplayer games ever created. I have been playing the early access builds off and on for about a year now and the game has come a long way and is currently in a pretty good state. The only thing I am unsure about is the progression system which lets you unlock abilities with points as you rank up. I am a bit old school, and the idea of having things locked behind a leveling system seems a bit out of place in a Tribes-like game. However the game has a “Manaborn Game Pass” you can buy to unlock everything for you immediately. As a Kickstarter backer I already have the game pass and will be using it on launch day. Anyway, the game gets a solid recommendation from me, especially at its free to play price point with a reasonably priced option to unlock everything.

Ion Maiden is a 2018 first person shooter video game developed by Voidpoint and published by 3D Realms. It is a prequel to the top-down action game Bombshell. Ion Maiden runs on a modified version of Ken Silverman’s Build engine, and is the first original commercial game to utilize the engine in 19 years.

In Ion Maiden, the player assumes the role of Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison, a bomb disposal expert aligned to the Global Defense Force. Dr. Jadus Heskel, a transhumanist cult leader, unleashes an army of cybernetically-enhanced soldiers on the futuristic city of Neo D.C., which Shelly is tasked with fighting through.
