Much like OlliOlli, Not A Hero‘s gameplay is what sets it apart.

You complete a single level by wiping out every baddie that’s waiting to kill you, though completing the set of challenges in each one improves your star rating for that level.

You play as the gun-toting lackey of talking rabbit and mayoral candidate, Bunnylord, The big boss needs your help in securing his bid for public office, and that requires a bit of the old ultra-violence as you shoot your way across the city’s four districts, each controlled by a different enemy faction and broken into multiple levels. Not A Hero started life as a procedurally generated dungeon crawler… until Roll7 tossed everything out and turned it into a pixelated cover-based shooter that owes as much to John Woo as it does to BlackThorne. Roll7 is the team behind OlliOlli, that inventive skateboarding side-scroller for PlayStation Vita. Not A Heroįirst, some all-important context. It’s an evolved version of a Ludum Dare 28 entry, with more bosses and a bigger world.Īll of these games are worth checking out, but let’s zero in on the two that we did get to spend a meaningful amount of time with: Roll7’s Not A Hero and Croteam’s The Talos Principle. The biggest disappointment, however, was not getting to spend any time with Titan Souls it’s a lo-fi open world game that draws inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus as it sends players up against a gauntlet of bosses. We also missed the epic weirdness of Hatoful Boyfriend, a “visual novel/dating sim” set - naturally - in a school attended by talking pigeons. We missed out on seeing Hotline Miami 2‘s newly announced level editor, and we didn’t bro out at all with Broforce. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to sample everything in Devolver’s circled wagon sideshow. You haven’t truly experienced a game demo until you’ve seen it behind the closed door of a tin-can trailer. Activision had its booming, multi-screen open theater, 2K Games had a towering Evolve monster, and - directly across the street from the Los Angeles Convention Center - Devolver had a full-blown trailer park BBQ. Fitbit Versa 3ĭevolver Digital didn’t mix it up on the show floor with everyone else, but that didn’t make the indie publisher’s E3 presence any less spectacular. Otherwise, if you’re browsing on a computer, there are over 20 store pages to flip through.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners ($27.99), Job Simulator ($12.99), and Superhot VR ($9.99) are among the many PlayStation VR titles on sale. Some other names that stood out to me: Visage ($26.24), CrossCode ($13.99), Planet Coaster: Deluxe Edition ($41.99), Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom ($15.99), Fight’N Rage ($11.99), Beyond Blue ($13.99), Children of Morta ($10.99), Aggelos ($7.49), The Long Dark ($14.99), and Nex Machina ($5.99).

The PS4-focused sale ends in two weeks on March 10. You never know what you’re going to find in between higher-profile games, and to that end, there are a lot of names to sort through. PlayStation Indies is my kinda sale, especially knowing how weirdly all-encompassing the “indie” label can be in 2021.
