I watched Daemon X Machina trailers around both its launches, and god it’s pretty. Those colours! Tango Orange deserts and turquoise skies - and then, why not,Tango Orange skies and turquoise deserts.

DxM offers mech combat of the anime-not-MechWarriorvariety. Think zippy, flying ninjas, more like a character action game, than slow and stomping battle houses. You can customise the mechs and their anime pilots, and there’s co-op and competitive multiplayer alongside the singleplayer story. We didn’t review it at launch, but it got middling-to-good ratings from lesser (but more comprehensive) gaming websites.

If you absolutely positively insist on spending money today,Daemon X Machina is also 50% off on Steam, making it £25/$30/€30.

Epic announced yesterday as part of their 2021 review that they’llcontinue to give away free games weekly in 2022. Next in line after the mechs isYooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair. While the first Yooka-Laylee was a throwback to 3D platformers like Banjo Kazooie, The Impossible Lair turned the clock back further for side-on platforming and a topdown overworld, a la Super Mario Bros. You’ll be able to grab itfrom Epicfor free come February 3rd, but it’s 75% off right now.
