Jump into some couch co-op or take select titles online for the very first time. The games within the collection are enhanced with new features, including the ability to save and rewind at any time. There’s also historic artwork and sketches, along with classic media for the true fans of the first-generation, pizza-eating heroes in a half shell. Turtle power!
Platforms: PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch Cults are not supposed to be cute, yet the indie release Cult of the Lamb is looking to be one of 2022’s adorable games (even with the bloodshed). In this upcoming action/strategy title, you play as a possessed lamb on a quest to build a loyal following of woodland creatures to worship your otherworldly saviour. Players collect resources to build new structures and improve their camp while performing dark rituals to appease the gods. Then, train the flock to embark on quests, cleansing non-believers and spreading enlightenment. You’ll also explore a sprawling, randomly generated world, fighting hordes of enemies and defeating rival cult leaders to absorb their power and ensure you’re the leader of the one true cult.
