Replaced is an excellent-looking 2.5D retro sci-fi game

And I'd like to paly it now...

Replaced was today announced, a 2.5D retro sci-fi action title that looks straight out of Blade Runner.

“Discover the dark secrets of Phoenix-City,” Microsoft said in a trailer announcing the title.

Replaced is a 2.5D sci-fi retro-futuristic action platformer where you play as R.E.A.C.H. – an artificial intelligence trapped in a human body against its own will. REPLACED combines cinematic platforming, pixel art and free-flow action combat with a deep, engaging dystopian story set in an alternative 1980’s.”

Check it out below.

We’ll have more on Replaced as it’s made available. The game heads to Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and Xbox Cloud Gaming — alongside Xbox Game Pass — in 2022.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
