Toss in a unique aesthetic and tone, and you certainly capture my attention. That’s why I’m excited to share a brand-new gameplay trailer for RetroSpace, an upcoming disco-punk space horror immersive sim developed by The Wild Gentlemen and set to be published by Kwalee.

Arc Raiders is my favorite extraction shooter to date, surpassing its competition with incredible level design, a deep yet easy-to-navigate crafting system, stunning art direction, and an exciting suite of weaponry and gadgets to discover.
