Looking forward : 2015 (PART 1)

I wanted to make a few posts about the games I am most excited about that are set to release this year, and seeing as its February and Apotheon has already been released I know that I am behind schedule...so i'll try to get this little series up as soon as possible.

DISTANCE by Refract Studios (Seattle, USA)
Status : Early Access for $20

A racing game set it a glowing Tron-like world, flying cars, cars getting cut in half, Split screen, LAN and an editor - I am really looking forward to this. It seems that they are considering their "early access" as a kind of release already and I couldn't really find the official release date on their webage but they are going to bring the game to PS4 as well, I would assume when that happens the PC version will lose its Early Access status.

Massive Chalice by Double Fine (San Francisco, USA)
Status : Early Access for ($30)
Release: Spring

A turn-based tactical strategy game where your bloodlines and marriages become an important part to creating new soldiers and heros in a battle that is going to take hundreds of years. I expect it to be like XCom with this new breeding / DNA mechanic. I recommend watching some of the many gameplay videos for this game so you can understand what its all about - like this one.

Firewatch by Campo Santo (San Francisco, USA)
Status : no early access or preorder.

From their webpage : "Firewatch is a mystery set in the Wyoming wilderness, where your only emotional lifeline is the person on the other end of a handheld radio."

Superhot by The Superhot Guys (Poland)
Preorder for $14
Release : Summer

From their site : "AN FPS GAME WHERE TIME MOVES ONLY WHEN YOU MOVE."

Started as a 7DFPS game jam game (which you can still play here) became poplular after being released on the internet, then was greenlit on Steam and launched a Kickstarter was funded within 23 hours and raised a quarter of a million dollars in total.... Expect good things.
