Killer Bean
High-profile showcases like SGF tend to have a delightfully odd game that stands alongside the larger titles, and this year’s is Killer Bean. As the titular rogue assassin, players will go through a new story (and POV between first and third-person) each time they begin a new run. While the setup may change, what won’t is how the game takes after action movies and set pieces so common in the genre, from abandoned train tunnels and snowy forests to empty construction sites and dogfights. The game was made byJeff Lew, a film animator that’s previously worked on Matrix Reloaded and the Transformers movies, which helps explain why it looks so ridiculously appealing.
Killer Bean arrives on Early Access later this summer.
