14 unusual video games to discover in 2024

The Guardian

The market is already crammed with open-world multiplayer survival games, but this post-apocalyptic epic adds cosmic horror to the mix. Its huge world is crammed with grotesque Lovecraftian monsters – including a living bus like the benevolent catbus in My Neighbour Totoro, but just horrible. You use an axe, dodges and a pistol to interrupt your powerful enemies' attacks and gain the upper hand – but this animated world is much brighter and less bleak, inspired by its developers' antipodean surroundings. I have never seen anything quite like this forthcoming game from Capcom: you control a warrior protecting a priestess as she slowly dances her way through monster-infested Japanese mountain scenes, purifying her surroundings as you go. During the day you rescue people and station your troops; at night you attack the monsters, hoping to keep her safe.
