Nik Nak Studios’ GTA 2 Inspired Geneshift Coming to PC Next Week (VIDEO)
In the current day and age, vast open world titles seem to be all the rage. They allow players to explore gigantic maps at their leisure, engage with a plethora of NPCs, and enjoy a game at their own pace. Or, if one is lucky enough, they can garner the outrage of an entire village just by even looking at a chicken. With that being said, it’s always nice to see when developers make something on a smaller scale, and from a different perspective. That brings us to the top-down shooter Geneshift, which draws some inspiration from Grand Theft Auto 2 and before. Here’s the gameplay trailer for the upcoming title:
