Okay, so I just caught the rundown of the THQ Nordic’s 2025 Showcase — and wow, what a ride. Kind of like flipping through a magazine with way too much going on, but somehow I’m here for it.
So, let’s dive in, or at least try to. There’s Tides of Tomorrow. Still stuck in my head because it’s kinda colorful and post-apocalyptic, which is a weird combo, but it works… I think.
Tarsier, who did those Little Nightmares games — freaky stuff, always creeps me out in a good way, is now on this something-something called Reanimal. Horror adventure, siblings running for their lives, monsters — feels like the plot of a movie I’d watch with the lights off. Oh, and it’s got couch co-op, so you can scream with your buddies.
Switching gears, have you ever wanted to play as SpongeBob and Patrick, swapping back and forth like you own the place? With David Hasselhoff in the mix? Yeah, me neither, but here we are. Titans of the Tide is coming in November (assuming I remember). Pre-order perks galore, if you’re into that collector stuff.
Let’s talk nostalgia. Remember Gothic? No? Doesn’t matter, they’re remaking it. Packed with all kinds of updates, so maybe worth checking out unless you’re stuck in ’90s gaming or something. The demo’s out to give a taste, but it’s like — don’t expect spoilers, they say. Which, thank goodness.
And what’s this? The Eternal Life of Goldman? No clue who Goldman is, but I’m intrigued, kind of. Platformer vibes with a story that’s as layered as my aunt’s lasagna. If you can handle complex scenes and the subtle joy of exploration, it might be worth the dive.
Tides of Tomorrow pops up again — teamwork, choices, futures in your hands kinda deal. I’m sensing a theme about saving worlds or destroying them, not sure which. They talk about this asynchronous gameplay thing — still scratching my head on what exactly that means, but I nod along.
Then there’s Wreckfest 2, which apparently is gonna wreck everything you knew about demolition derby — if you knew anything, that is. Stress reliever? Maybe. Chances of winning while crashing? I guess.
Now, get this: Titan Quest II, inspired by some hardcore mythology, is coming along. Make-believe ancient Greece without the museum fees, pick your hero, clash with legends, and mix things up — hey, it’s class-free. Might be just me, but sounds like one epic showdown with gods or something.
Finally — wait, almost forgot Wreckreation! Customize everything, race over dinosaurs’ heads if you’ve ever wondered how that feels — spoiler: it probably feels epic. Real-time mode switching, loops, jumps, the whole circus act for free-roam racing.
Anyway, think they’ve covered everyone’s itch with this lineup. Gamescom is around the corner, so brace yourselves or maybe not. Who knows, right?
