Move over Untitled Goose Game there’s a new player in town. First revealed back in 2019 Mighty Goose is a sidescrolling run and gun shooter developed by Blastmode and MP2 games the game follows Mighty Goose as he voyages through space to defeat the Void King.
From the trailers alone it reminds me a lot of fellow run and gun title Metal Slug so as I loaded up the game for the first time on my Nintendo Switch I was unaware of the adventure I would be embarking on.

Gameplay
The gameplay for Mighty Goose is very simple yet well done. You are a goose tasked with shooting enemies to reach your objective. Throughout the game through traveling you encounter not only typical side scrolling areas but arena stages and fast paced vehicle action as well. The action throughout this game is surprisingly at breakneck speed meaning there is never a dull moment in the vastness of space.
Co-op only adventure It Takes Two is on sale for the first time over on the PlayStation Store, giving you and your significant other something to do this weekend.
Here are some of the most exciting upcoming releases from beyond the world of triple-A
It’s gaming month! I mean, obviously every month is gaming month, but June is
especially gamey thanks to E3 and its many satellite events, which promise reveals for everything from 200-hour-long epics that won’t be out for another console generation to the next potential indie surprise hit.
Like pretty much everything else over the past couple of years, E3 isn’t quite the same this year. According to our E3 2021 schedule, there are no fewer than 18 different publisher events scheduled to run this June. That’s a lot to keep up with, so it’s fortunate that the indie scene is still in full swing, providing releases for every genre going so you can switch off from the triple-A parade.
