This, by my rough estimation, is edition number 199 of the Video Game Deep Cuts newsletter (now on Substack), crazily. That’s a few links – probably towards 50,000 over the entire life of the darn newsletter. But what’s going to be different for issue 200? Well, different links, for starters…

The Current: New Games To Consider
-
Little Orpheus (Apple Arcade, pictured) is the latest game from Dear Esther devs The Chinese Room, & looks like a lush, adventurous 2D side-scroller.
-
Also out next week, Desperados 3 (PS4, Xbox, PC) is an anticipated return to the long-dormant Western stealth strategy game franchise.
-
Just leaving Epic Store exclusivity, Atomicrops (Switch, PS4, Xbox, PC) is a messed-up ‘bullet hell’ farming game, quite an intriguing combo.
-
Disintegration (PC, PS4, Xbox) is an FPS/RTS hybrid from one of Halo’s creators which is getting mixed reviews for not quite winning at either of the genres.
