When Redfall is the best shit on your list for the month😂😂😂😂

I'd actually say Benedict Fox was always the more interesting-looking game of the two, and it definitely is right now. Hopefully for its sake it gets a PS & Switch release within the next three months, otherwise it'll languish in obscurity on GP like Echo Generations did and most likely how Ravenlok (which also looks pretty cool) will.

Same for Replaced, for that matter. GP does get some neat indie games but at this point I don't think the service is doing much to help them find the audiences they deserve, particularly on console, so it's for their best interest those GP/Xbox exclusivity deals are like 3-6 months because the sooner those games can go to PlayStation and Switch, the better for them to find audiences willing to actually play them.

It's not looking good for Benedict Fox, only 171 playing on Steam worlwide on launch day.
