With the Summer Game Fest 2024 now over, we have picked out some great games for you to check out. Although the Summer Game Fest was rather underwhelming, it is still amazing to see someone trying to fill in the gap that E3 has left so that more people can get excited about upcoming releases. 

Having that in mind, we will showcase some diamonds in the rough which show a lot of promise given not only the idea, gameplay, and visuals but also the developers behind these titles. In recent years, many indie games have found great success as opposed to the AAA titans that have more or less disappointed fans time and time again.

Summer Game Fest 2024 Tears of Metal

Tears of Metal
Paper Cult

This medieval hack-and-slash co-op roguelike might not seem as stylish and bright, however, the gritty and rather toned-down visuals sync quite nicely with the in-game world. Players will be decimating hordes of enemies in an attempt to reclaim your island via the assistance of your Scottish battalion.

Its rather charming appeal might quickly suck you in deeper as the gameplay looks very impactful and rewarding, as you mow down everyone that stands in your way of achieving glory and freedom. As of now, the game has no scheduled release date and is currently on Steam so you can add it to your wishlist. Make sure to check it out if you fancy some good ol' bloody fun.
