10 Exciting 2018 Video Games Nobody Is Talking About
9. The Last Night
The Last Night is a game that seeks to be, in the words of its developer Odd Tales, "Blade Runner + delicious pixels."
This stylish and visually-stunning product initially came to be in the form of a six-day cyberpunk game jam, but through an increase in budget and development, it has become much more. The Last Night offers gamers a rich Post-Cyberpunk-inspired world full of history to dive into, characters to meet, and an engaging story that's sure to be a wild ride.
Although a 2.5D sidescroller has plenty of appeal on its own, The Last Night offers gameplay that goes beyond standard left-to-right linearity. You can explore the city, interact with city folk, and can even engage in shootouts if you get mixed up with the wrong crowd. Developer Odd Tales is ensuring The Last Night is much more than just pixelated Blade Runner.
Currently, the game is slated for a release sometime in 2018, but for those of you who'd like to get a taste of what The Last Night has to offer, you can play the six-day game jam version of it on https://timsoret.itch.io/the-last-night. Considering what they were able to do after six days, imagine what they'll do after several years in development.
The Last Night comes out in 2018 for Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux.
