When Konami delivered the eFootball PES 2021 update across all formats back in September 2020, many fans were left disappointed that there wasn't the usual annual update for their favourite football game.

From the creator of Goat Simulator comes a nearly as madcap experience, one in which you'll be looking to pull off ridiculous stunts in order to grab the insurance money to pay for a place in the very finest retirement homes. Yep, Just Die Already may not sit comfortably with some, but for others this could well be on the same crazy levels as we found when we were throwing goats around town. Are you ready to be old, and be bold?
Sure Footing first launched on PC way back in 2018, but judging by the Steam reviews, it fell away with divisive thoughts.

'Tis near the end of the footballing season, and teams up and down the globe have been deciding promotions, relegations, and those all important titles.

Will you be sticking Trent in defense or the legendary Buffon between the sticks?

It was way back in October 2019 when we first heard news that Failbetter Games would be taking their PC hit Sunless Skies: Sovereign Edition to Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, with a planned early 2020 launch spoken of.
