REPLACED
The launch of REPLACED is finally here, and we can all see what horrors the world of REPLACED will give us with AI
A new cyberpunk world has opened up to us all today, with the launch of REPLACED on the Xbox Series X|S and PC. A title that I know many of us around here have been waiting for so we can experience the world that Sad Cat Studios has been working on. A world that might have us all questioning a few things around AI, while also enjoying the 2.5D platforming action that REPLACED is exploding on the scene with. Exploding on the scene, it is doing, too, as the launch trailer for the game is here to grab those still on the fence about whether they're going to give this one a go. Let's all have a look and see if this is going to be the next best cyberpunk experience we have on our systems.
For those who, somehow, missed all of the build-up to the launch of REPLACED, it's a 2.5D platforming title where we're playing as an AI trapped in a human body against its will. An interesting take, as that assumes the AI is advanced enough to have free will. Either way, the Phoenix Corporation is not keen on this and is lurking everywhere to cause us all manner of hardships. That is where the core of REPLACED will come in, as we take up the guns and go through a lot of the free-flowing combat and traversal about this new neon city out there. All with the fun pixel art style that gets those nostalgia engines running for so many from the 1980s. Thankfully, that is also the alternate history setting for the game, so it should fit right in as we dodge all of the explosions and shoot all of the other AI bots out there. Have a look or just grab the game now on the platform of your free choice.

Are you ready to head into the cyberpunk world of REPLACED today? Will there be a deeper story we are going through in the mix here?
