This week on GeForce NOW had a bit of a mixed bag. We were excited to see mod support finally arrive for Baldur’s Gate 3, but we were also a bit disappointed that the rest of the additions were mostly Xbox store versions of games already on the platform. The only truly new title was the excellent Jötunnslayer: Hordes of Hel. It’s easy to forget what’s already been added with so many new games coming out all the time. To jog your memory, check out our comprehensive list of all the games added to GeForce NOW this month in our January roundup.
While this week may have been a tad lackluster, next week is shaping up to be an absolute banger! Get ready to embrace a lineup that’s bursting with exciting new releases and potential surprises.
From Post-Apocalyptic Survival to Orc-Slaying Mayhem
- Eternal Strands (Steam): This isn’t just another survival game. Eternal Strands drops you into a hauntingly beautiful world ravaged by a mysterious force. Scavenge for resources, craft vital equipment, and fight for your life against mutated creatures and environmental hazards. Oh, and did we mention the compelling storyline that unravels as you explore? Consider us intrigued.
- Space Engineers 2 (Steam): The original Space Engineers was a sandbox masterpiece, and the sequel is ready to launch us into a whole new galaxy of creativity. Improved physics, enhanced visuals, and even more tools to build your dream spaceships and stations? Sign us up! We can already envision epic space battles and intricate orbital constructions.
- Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap (Steam): Remember the joy of strategically placing traps and watching hordes of orcs get obliterated? Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap delivers that same satisfying gameplay with a fresh coat of paint. New traps, new enemies, and new challenges await in this hilarious and addictive tower defense experience.
Narrative Adventures and Tactical Espionage
- Heart of the Machine (Steam): Prepare for a thought-provoking journey into a world where machines have awakened. Heart of the Machine promises a deep and emotional narrative where your choices have a real impact on the story. This is one for those who love a good story with their gaming.
- Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (Steam): The first Citizen Sleeper captivated us with its unique blend of RPG and narrative adventure. Now, Starward Vector takes us deeper into the universe with a new story, new characters, and new challenges. Get ready to make tough choices and forge your own path through the stars.
Xbox Game Pass and Potential Crossovers:
- Sniper Elite: Resistance (Xbox, PC Game Pass): Stealth, sniping, and sabotage – Sniper Elite: Resistance delivers the goods for fans of tactical shooters. Infiltrate enemy territory, take out high-value targets, and disrupt their operations with your sharpshooting skills.
The “Maybe” List We’re Really Hoping For:
We’re keeping our fingers crossed that Eternal Strands, Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap, and Citizen Sleeper 2 also make their way to Xbox Game Pass. This would make an already incredible week even better!
