Phantom Blade 0 isn’t really a game at least not yet. The demo we played at this year’s Gamescom in Cologne, Germany was more of a collection of three enemy encounters to create a playable vertical slice.

The first Dying Light holds a special place in many people’s hearts. Its unique blend of first-person parkour and improvisational melee combat made it stand out at the start of the last console generation. That, paired with a shockingly well-written and performed story, turned Dying Light into a low-key sleeper hit as it reached a staggering 20 million units sold by 2022.

The acid Western is a revisionist subgenre that blends the traditional elements of Westerns with the surreal, psychedelic, and countercultural themes of the 1960s and '70s. This was an era where authority was called into question by events like the Vietnam War; themes that shine through strongly in most acid Westerns. Unlike the classics of the genre, which tend to glorify frontier life and rugged individualism, the acid Western usually deconstructs these myths, presenting a darker, more disillusioned view of the Old West.
