Upcoming adventure games you’re REALLY excited about
Hmm. That could be anything really. Shooter, RPG, adventure. I’m not a fan of these type of trailers.

This new Blade Runner is developed by Annapurna Interactive known for publishing indie adventure-related games (at least most of them were covered by adventuregamers — Outer Wilds, Journey, Kentucky Route Zero, Gorogoa, Twelve Minutes, Gone Home, Stray to name a few). And it was announced alongside a whole bunch of other adventure-related titles, so there’s a good chance it will not be a shooter. The development team is headed by Chelsea Hash known for What Remains of Edith Finch which raises questions, because who needs a Blade Runner walking simulator, but then it might follow the steps of the old Blade Runner which also wasn’t exactly puzzle-driven, but turned to be great nevertheless.
PC means personal computer
I hope it’s good bc I love the old Blade Runner game. play it about once a year along with full throttle. There is something to be said about short, and great Adventure games, because it’s like re-watching a movie you love, easy to get through in one or two sittings at most.

Yeah. And I don’t know about you but I definitely didn’t need that watching simulator they gave us with Blade Runner 2049…

Only game I’m looking forward to in August adventure-wise is A Guidebook of Babel.
The demo for this game is the most peculiar I’ve played in a long time (available on Steam). It has a bit of a learning curve to it and butterfly effect/time manipulation mechanic where you have to re-write a script (literally) in one place to make changes somewhere down the time line in a different place. There’s a whole made-up universe with wacky lore that was surprisingly deep, the art style that I feel screenshots don’t do full justice to and a pretty good soundtrack. It also has a deduction element to it, where you’ll have to put clues together to figure out a way forward. I was expecting something cartoon-y and light going off the look of the game but ended up being pretty absorbed in a well-developed, kooky world with quite serious undertones to it.
This one was a genuine surprise because it doesn’t look anything like it actually plays.
It comes out on the 2nd, so I’ll be getting that right away.

I know that there’s Poirot game coming out - #2 in the series, but I haven’t played the first one and read that it’s not exactly exactly a pinnacle of challenge - aka more “watching things than doing things”, plus it from combo of Microids (publisher)/Blazing Griffin (developer), and I didn’t like their Murder Mystery Machine.
I’m waiting for the OTHER Poirot game - Murder on the Orient Express (strangely, also published by Microids but, this time, developed by them as well) that comes out in October.

I also know there’s Under The Waves game that is published by Quantic Dreams and comes out on 29th. The trailer looks good, but I feel like it might go the way of, like someone on Steam forums said, another “sad man walking simulator” which I feel is walking sims’ bread and butter, and there are enough of them as is. I’m linking the trailer down below. Maybe I’m wrong, and it will turn out something amazing.
Is anyone looking forward to anything in August or in general?
