This afternoon, IGN<\/em> put on its now-yearly Summer of Games presentation, which featured an abundance of game trailers covering all genres and tastes. Fellow associate editor Wesley LeBlanc and I\u00a0watched the show together and picked out a handful of titles we look\u00a0forward to seeing more of in the future. Now, this list won\u2019t contain the big hitters of the show like Gungrave G.O.R.E.<\/a>, DNF Duel, The Walking Dead<\/a>, or the newest Aliens: Fireteam Elite expansion, but instead are highlighting some games you may not already know. Check out these great-looking indie titles coming to a gaming machine near you:<\/p>\n

The Last Worker<\/h2>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

The Last Worker got a new trailer during IGN\u2019s Expo stream today, showcasing more of the game\u2019s exciting voice cast. Speaking of that voice cast, today\u2019s trailer showed some big talent: Jason Isaacs (Lucious Malfoy in the\u00a0Harry Potter\u00a0<\/i>movies), Zelda Williams (Robin Williams\u2019 daughter!), Tommie Earl Jenkins (Die-Hardman in Death Stranding), Clare-Hope Ashitey (Master of None<\/i>), \u00d3lafur Darri \u00d3lafsson, and David Hewlett. As for what to expect, developer Oiffy describes the game like this\u00a0in today\u2019s trailer description:<\/p>\n

\u201cProtagonist Kurt needs a certain kind of break but just can\u2019t seem to find one in this in this trailer of The Last Worker. This narrative adventure explores what happens as humans are replaced by robots at a shipping warehouse in an end-stage capitalist environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Last Worker hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, Switch, and PC (as well as unspecified VR platforms) sometime this year.<\/p>\n

Roots of Pacha<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Roots of Pacha was announced last year, but today\u2019s trailer gave us another look at the beautiful Stardew Valley-like farming game. It also features more of the game\u2019s extremely-catchy music, too. And to coincide with that, we got a look at the music rhythm minigame in Roots of Pacha. Soda Den\u2019s latest has a Steam demo that you can play right now, and if you use the code \u201cSmiley,\u201d you\u2019ll get an exclusive cat hat for use in it.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how Roots of Pacha is described in the IGN trailer released today:<\/p>\n

\u201cRoots of Pacha allows you to build, harvest crops, make friends with animals, and help grow your village in single-player or co-op mode. This trailer for Roots of Pacha gameplay shows off some new elements you can experience while playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ship of Fools<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

A new trailer for Ship of Fools was released today, revealing that Fika Productions\u2019 ship-faring roguelike is coming to consoles. Plus, this colorful and chaotic game will feature both online and couch co-op. The new trailer also reveals another look at the frantic gameplay as well as its many in-game shops to visit and the map we\u2019ll be using to navigate these dangerous waters. Ship of Fools hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, Switch, and PC sometime this year.<\/p>\n

Beneath Oresa<\/h2>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

From the minds of Broken Spear Inc. comes Beneath Oresa, a new deckbuilding roguelike that sets players on an adventure in the tunnels beneath the city of Oresa. Each character you bring into the tunnels has different perks to utilize to try to survive the dank and dangerous underground. The new trailer featured in today\u2019s\u00a0IGN showcase revealed a new boss, a fleshy, imposing mass of a monster with a makeshift spear in-hand, and charging at the player character from the darkness. Beneath Oresa looks beautiful and intriguing. If you\u2019re also interested in checking it out before its nebulous 2022 release date, there\u2019s a demo to check out right now on Steam.<\/p>\n

SacriFire<\/h2>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

This JRPG from the developers at Pixelated Milk is not only\u00a0fun to look at, but it looks like it could be a great throwback to classic role-playing adventures. Pseudo-mimicking the HD-2D style Square Enix has utilized in recent years, SacriFire has that cool new-school retro look we love to see. It marries both real-time elements in combat with traditional turn-based actions to create what we hope is exciting and strategic gameplay. Currently, SacriFire does not have a set release date, but it is expected to land on PC this year.<\/p>\n
