Not lengthy after mentioning how a lot I wanted extra good spy video games in my life, I used to be given a heads up (by way of a lifeless drop, naturally) in regards to the Spy Video Game Rendezvous, a dev-organised Steam pageant showcasing spy-themed video games, kicking off on May 23.
Hosted by There’s Always a Madman solo dev Sunny Demeanor Games, the Steam fest will function greater than 30 spy romps and can run till May 30, with the week appropriately coinciding with the arrival of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and the 117th anniversary of Ian Flemming’s delivery.
“The Spy Video Games Rendezvous will function a wide selection of spy video video games, from first-person shooters to puzzle video games to visible novels to technique video games and extra,” says Sunny Demeanor Games developer Adam Bernstein. “Some video games function reasonable graphics, some have an N64 polygonal aesthetic reminiscent of the times of GoldenEye, some have cute cartoon graphics, and others are fully text-based. You can play as a put-your-neck-on-the-line area agent, a desk-bound surveillance operative, a spymaster pulling the strings, a wizard, a canine, a raccoon, or perhaps a wraith.”
To kick off the occasion, the Sunny Demeanor Games YouTube channel will even host a “State of the Union of spy videogames”, exhibiting off upcoming spy video games that you simply may wish to maintain in your radar.
It’s a style that might positively use a bit extra love, past the standard stealth/motion affairs that spy video games sometimes deal with. I really like me some Metal Gear, however as the sport most individuals consider when the style comes up, it solely captures a sliver of what makes the spy life such compelling leisure. Hopefully I’ll discover some new video games so as to add to the listing in May.
