It’s new video game day, and for whatever reason many of the games we posted about earlier today as “coming tonight" became available in the US much sooner than the normal 11pm EST time. Hey, whatever! Here’s a list of everything from today and some things from earlier in the week. For my money, I’m most excited for Does Not Commute, which is laugh out loud entertaining, and Sorcery! 3 which is the same excellent digital gamebooking we’ve come to expect from Inkle with some incredible new features. Check out the games below and let us know which ones are tickling your fancies.
Update: Well it looks like Minions Paradise might just be a soft-launch, sorry about that folks, the moose out front should have told you. We’ll keep our eye out for the worldwide launch.
