No Man’s Sky – Prisms update trailer shows optical overhaul
Release date: October 7th
With its original release, No Man’s Sky had to take a lot of criticism due to technical difficulties and above all because of a lot of missing content. The Switch version no longer has this problem, because it includes all the extensive content packages that were released up to the Prisms update from 2021 right at the release. In No Man’s Sky you can explore a huge, procedurally generated universe with 18 trillion planets with your spaceship. What you do there is largely up to you. You can mine resources, build bases, explore flora and fauna, learn how to deal with extraterrestrial species, trade and of course fight.

Josh Journey: Darkness Totems
Josh Journey is a colorful single player and co-op beat ’em up.
Release date: October 6th
Josh Journey: Darkness Totems is a co-op/solo playable beat ’em up in which four heroes work together to protect the world from monsters from the Nightmare World. To do this, they travel together through four different regions with the themes of wind, water, desert and industry, all of which are held in a colourful, hand-drawn cartoon style. In addition to the combo system, the different special skills of the four heroes and the many different enemy types, each with their own attack patterns, ensure playful complexity and variety. Especially in the boss fights, the level of difficulty can sometimes get harder.

prodeus
The shooter Prodeus manages to combine retro looks and modern technology.
Release date: October 7th
With Prodeus you get a classic first person shooter that combines contemporary graphic effects with a nostalgic pixel look. With thick weapons you fight your way through futuristic alien buildings and destroy legions of bizarre to frightening monsters. The pace is just as high as the degree of violence. The spectacular blood and dismemberment effects clearly make Prodeus an adult game. In addition to the single player campaign, there are also co-op and multiplayer modes and even a level editor. The latter should ensure that there is still new content from the community long after the release.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers

Dragon Ball: the Breakers trailer reveals new gameplay
Release date: October 14th
Dragon Ball: The Breakers is an asymmetric multiplayer game in the style of Dead by Daylight: seven characters have to try to escape from a Dragon Ball villain like Cell, Freeza or Boo. Good cooperation is often an advantage, but sometimes you have better chances of surviving if you fight on your own and prefer to rely on the weapons, vehicles and power-ups that you can find in the wide, open areas instead of the help of your fellow players Can be found. Of course, it’s a lot of fun when you slip into the role of the villain and use his powerful powers. The colorful anime style is also a pleasant change from the mostly gloomy look of similar games.

Aery: Last Day of Earth
In Aery: Last Day of Earth we explore different realities from a bird’s eye view.
Release date: October 20th
Aery: Last Day of Earth is an exploration game with several unusual approaches. On the one hand we explore the 3D game world from the point of view of a small bird, on the other hand we travel not only through space but also through time, through different dimensions and through alternative realities. In addition to the architecture, the lighting mood and colors as well as the whole atmosphere of the surroundings change, which sometimes seems idyllic, sometimes threatening and sometimes surreal. As the name suggests, it tells a story about the end of the world. Our task is to look in the different realities for the possibility of a better future.

New Tales from the Borderlands

New Tales from the Borderlands – Character Trailer shows wacky main characters
Release date: October 21st
With New Tales from the Borderlands, the acclaimed adventure of 2015, which is considered one of the best games from Telltale (The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us), finally gets a sequel. Although it now comes from Gearbox, the studio behind the original Borderlands series, it should remain true to the model for the most part. The gameplay still consists of tricky decisions that you have to make under time pressure, mixed with puzzles, dialogue and exploration. There should also be a combat system this time. The story about three losers, who struggle through the war and greedy corporations in the metropolis Promethea and maybe save the world, should again offer a lot of macabre humor.

A Winding Path
A Winding Path is an imaginative adventure in a unique pencil style.
Release date: October 27th
A Winding Path is an adventure that is kept in the unusual graphic style of a detailed pencil drawing. You explore an unbalanced fantasy world where it no longer rains and the rivers run dry. In order to save the harvest, you set off to unravel the mysteries of the elements and the special magic that resides in the land. The gameplay is not particularly complex, but always offers creative ideas. However, the focus is clearly on the story and the many interesting characters that we meet along the way and help with their problems. Overall, A Winding Path is a calm, peaceful game, ideal for unwinding after a hard day.

Factorio
In Factorio we defend ourselves against aliens with the help of complicated production facilities.
Release date: October 28th
The famous indie hit Factorio is making its way to Nintendo Switch later this month. You are stranded on a strange planet and have to defend yourself against aggressive aliens. But you don’t do that by blindly throwing yourself into battle. Instead, you set up complex production facilities to extract raw materials, process them and manufacture complex machines. These in turn enable the construction of defenses, weapons and vehicles, as well as even more complex production facilities that offer you even more possibilities. Since the alien attacks are getting stronger and stronger, you have to try to stay ahead of them through technical advances.
