Pokemon has been a hit since I was a kid, and I was originally one of the ones outside of it pointing and laughing.

I’ve never seen anything like Pokemon GO before. I’ve launched myself fully into the multiplayer arenas of Overwatch and Rocket League, and every one of these titles has at once left me mesmerized and in awe of the creative brilliance behind them. I’ve been touched deeply by the gorgeous storytelling of Shadow of the Colossus and Ori and the Blind Forest. I’ve been astounded by the choices available in games like Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect. I remember the agony of waiting for Halo 2’s launch date (and the god-awful tattoo reveal), being blown away by cult favorites Mirror’s Edge and Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath, where playstyles typically utilized by military shooters were turned on their heads into something majestic and new. Energetic sessions of Goldeneye, exploring the vast fantasy world that was Hyrule in Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, and watching my brother play Xenogears gave way to late night Halo LAN parties in adjoining hotel rooms while I single-handedly defeated the Empire time and again at the stick of Rogue Squadron II and X-Wing vs. I remember falling down the insane rabbit hole of Super Mario RPG, something that looked and played like nothing I’d seen before. I remember talking to my cousin about the amazing difference in the graphics between the original Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario Brothers 3. Since then, I’ve owned a system of every generation. Yes folks, Oddworld just got Stranger.I’ve been a gamer since the NES, and I’d played the Intellivision and Atari at various points, but I cut my teeth on Nintendo’s first home system and came into my own on its successor, the Super Nintendo. The prospect of being filleted brings many changes to an inhabitant.Ĭhanges that even modern Vykker science cannot duplicate! Not one to pose as garnish, he makes it up to Sekto Springs all right, but Sekto and his Wolvarks get their Steef served up with a frothy can of whoop arse, prepared by our beloved hombre-sin-nombre.

High atop the springs at Sekto Springs Dam, the slimy prima donna waits impatiently for the Steef bounty to be delivered.Īrmed with his trusty double-barrel crossbow and a pack full of Live Ammo, Stranger is ready to deliver said bounty when a humbling incident with the local outlaws serves as a severe reminder of what it means not only to hunt, but also to be hunted. These majestic beasts once roamed the Mongo River Valley in great herds, but now their scarcity makes each one an extravagant prize. A collector of rare Steef heads, Sekto has put word out that he’s in the market for Steef. Sekto has damned the river and the habitat it sustains. Upstream is Sekto Springs, the bottled water company suckling the life out of the valley. Welcome to the Mongo River Valley, the irony mining capital of the continent. With his moolah on his mind, our Stranger travels from town to town facing off with mentally challenged Outlaws, violently ignorant Clakkerz, and paranoid, relic-hiding native Grubbs. He’s got a short but pricey personal shopping list and he’s finally found a way to check it off.

Tall, dark, and passive-aggressive, a Stranger is lured out of routine bounty hunting by the prospect of a one time, bounty-to-end-all bounties moolah maker.
