New video games on PlayStation 5/4, Xbox X/S/One, Nintendo Switch, PC

Video gamers this Eid 2024 week are getting two new games to play. These game are being released on PC, PlayStation 5/4, Xbox X/S/One, and Nintendo Switch.

The protagonist of Devolver Digital's video game "Children of the Sun", known simply as The Girl, is bent on exacting revenge against the cult that ruined her life. She has a slick sniper rifle but one disadvantage: just a single bullet to use on each mission. On the other hand, she has psychic powers that allow her to speed up, slow down or curve the bullet — and once it hits a target she can re-aim it toward another.

The result is more of a tactical, pinball-like puzzle than the sort of chaos you’d expect from a modern shooter. It’s still gory, and solo designer René Rother’s visuals are stylishly haunting. "Children of the Sun" is now available on PC.


Ever since Baldur's Gate III took the gaming world by storm last year, players have been wondering: Where can I get more of this? Australian studio Drop Bear Bytes is hoping to scratch that itch with video game "Broken Roads", citing classic role-playing adventures like Fallout, Wasteland and, yes, Baldur’s Gate as inspiration. Set in a post-apocalyptic Outback, Broken Roads leans heavily into its "Moral Compass", with options that reflect four different philosophies: utilitarianism, nihilism, Machiavellianism and humanism.

The developers, led by a veteran of the landmark RPG Planescape: Torment, promise you’ll be forced to make tough choices as your team explores the desolate continent.

"Broken Roads" is being released Wednesday on PlayStation 5/4, Xbox X/S/One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
