The game puts you in the role of a possessed lamb saved from annihilation by a stranger, and you must repay your debt by building a following in his name. I can’t wait to play it, mostly because if a two-minute trailer can make my head explode this much, imagine what the entire game will be capable of.Massive Monster and Devolver Digital announced Cult of the Lamb yesterday during gamescom Opening Night Live.Ĭult of the Lamb finds you running a cult in a "crumbling world of ritual and ruin," and features a gameplay loop of base building and dungeon crawling. However, at that time, those eager to embrace the animalistic. My poor brain.ĭokeV is due to launch for console and PC, although a specific release date has yet to be decided on. Cult of the Lamb was first announced at Gamescom 2021 with a trailer that was equal parts adorably wholesome and downright creepy. Cult of the Lamb features great combat and base building mechanics, and while it nails what its going for, we wish it gave us more time to make our cult feel like home. The game takes place in a world where terrible creatures and cults are hunting harmless anthropomorphic animals.

No other game at Opening Night Live captivated me as much as this one, its monstrously ridiculous world and ways being so simultaneously cryptic and noisy that it’s just, like… What? Please inform me of what is actually going on here. At Gamescom 2021, Cult of the Lamb was presented in a new gameplay trailer, which depicted the grim experience players may expect from the game. That doesn’t mean we can’t be excited though. That’s how game trailers and the titles they represent work. Still, we won’t know until we get our hands on it. Given the popularity, acclaim, and staying power BDO has enjoyed over the last few years, I think it’s fair to suggest that Pearl Abyss’ pedigree is definitely more indicative of DokeV’s chances to be good rather than bad. Why? Because absurd nonsense is, in fact, very intriguing, especially when it looks, sounds, and hopefully plays as well as it appeared at Gamescom. DokeV somehow manages to go one further - again, I have no idea what this game is actually about. Temtem, too, is directly inspired by Game Freak’s iconic monster taming sim, and yet it oozes personality to the point of immediate distinction from its origins.

It is an almost brazen riff off of Pokemon, granted, but only insofar as the idea of catching cutesy little creatures and making them claw-punch one another goes.

The thing about DokeV is that it’s just… itself. I already wrote about how I firmly believe that Death Stranding Director’s Cut is the most exciting game of 2021 - despite the original game launching in 2019 - and I’m currently wincing to the point of near-pain at the fact Horizon Forbidden West and Sifu come out within four days of one another. Don’t get me wrong, there were lots of other fascinating games on show, too.
