The new year’s releases will likely take advantage of the power in those new consoles, which PC versions should benefit from too.
Keeping track of all the latest video games and eSports titles is an increasingly complex task, what with multiple PC storefronts, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and more to keep track of, but don’t worry, bet-colorado doing a great job with a splendid offer of various sports markets that players can bet on.

Cyber Shadow
(PC, PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Switch)
Cyber Shadow is an 8-bit side-scrolling action game that’s heavily inspired by classics of the genre such as Super Mario Bros., Ninja Gaiden, Contra, and the Castlevania series.
Developed by the Finnish developer Mechanical Head Studios and published by Yacht Club Games, Cyber Shadow tells the story of a cybernetic ninja named Shadow who sets out to rescue the members of his clan in a world taken over by synthetic lifeforms.
As Shadow, players will be able to quickly navigate Mekacity’s dark, platforming-focused levels and finish enemies by utilizing a host of different skills combined with precise fluid controls.
With a surprisingly fleshed out story presented through both in-game and cinematic cutscenes, over a dozen bosses to hunt down and destroy, and a soundtrack co-produced by the composer behind Shovel Knight, Cyber Shadow certainly has the promise to live up to the high bar set by the games that inspired it.
