You’ll still have to take care of them to make sure they stay healthy (enough) to work for you if you don’t want to recycle them instead – and yes, that can definitely mean recycling in the Soylent Green sense. It’s recently been ported to consoles by publisher OverGamez though, giving new players access to a game we didn’t think was console-bound for a long time.ĭespotism 3K is a resource management game set against a backdrop of humankind having been overrun by an AI – which is you! Humans are now resources, and are your key to expanding your dominion over the planet. This one arrived on our digital doorstep as a bit of a surprise, as Despotism 3K was originally released by Konfa Games way back in 2018. And with a cheap price tag, this is a good choice if you enjoy games that offer a diversion for about an hour or two – with local co-op as a big plus. There’s a pleasant soundtrack to support the retro-style 8/16-bit graphics, which is perfectly functional for a puzzle game with mild action elements. Visually, Mina & Michi gave me a strong flashback to Milo’s Quest, which was released on consoles not too long ago and features very similar graphics. This one’s very accessible, and contains an easy trophy list to match. There are (goo-like) enemies to fight as well, but Michi’s invulnerability makes combat mostly forgettable – perhaps with the exception of boss fights. There are other minor differences between Mina and Michi, but you’ll find that the majority of the gameplay is all about sliding block puzzles and carefully timing your movements to avoid traps.
DESPOTISM 3K ENOUGH FOR ME PLUS
Because Michi is actually invulnerable this is quite doable, but the game is much more fun when players work together – which is where Michi’s invulnerability becomes a big plus when playing together with a younger and/or less experienced player.

Mina and Michi are best friends who stick together as they solve puzzles and defeat enemies, which means that in a solo game you’re controlling both characters at once. Designed for cooperative play but also playable as a solo game, this is a puzzle adventure that’s now made it to consoles. If you enjoyed Greedfall, however, then this is a solid expansion that doesn’t break the bank but gives you a good few more hours of gameplay.Īnother indie release from Eastasiasoft, Mina & Michi is a conversion of a game that was originally released on Steam last year. The narrative is also interesting, but you’ll uncover everything this conspiracy has to offer in about three to four hours – so it’s definitely not the longest DLC chapter ever released.


With new enemies as well as new weapons and costumes, this is a content-heavy expansion. The De Vespe Conspiracy is integrated into the base game, so it expands on the game world and story, letting you head into a new region called Teer Fradee to try and uncover a dangerous conspiracy. At that point, you can head into any camp and there should be a letter to interact with, which kicks off the new story. If not, then you’ll have to reach the quests “Searching for Constantin” and “On the high king’s trail” during your campaign first. It’s been integrated into the main game, so you’ll have to have progressed a bit before you can access it – unless of course you have an existing save game you can go back to. Most of the next gen enhancements are the usual 4K upgrades to the visuals alongside faster load times and higher frame rates, so for most players the new content will be the biggest draw here.
DESPOTISM 3K ENOUGH FOR ME FOR FREE
If you originally bought the base game or got the game for free through PlayStation Plus, you can also buy the new content separately. We reviewed GreedFall back in 2019, but Spiders’ action RPG was just re-released as a Gold Edition that features next gen enhancements as well as a brand new DLC chapter – the De Vespe Conspiracy. GreedFall – The De Vespe Conspiracy DLC launches with Gold Edition We’re checking out three releases that might have escaped your radar this past week, as we look at new DLC content for GreedFall, co-op puzzle adventure Mina & Michi and the dark sci-fi resource management title Despotism 3K.
