We already knew that roguelite sequelStreets Of Rogue 2wasgoing open world, but we finally saw the free-flowing chaos in action at last night’s Gamescom blowout. The immersive sim playground, sequel to an RPS favourite from 2019, looks even more over-the-top than the original. You can smash through buildings in a truck.

Playable alone or in co-op, the follow-up is set in a “huge and seamless randomly generated world filled with cities, forests, islands, caves, and the occasional cannibal outpost.” As was the case with the last game, you can also pick between several wacky characters (farmers, hackers, bear whisperers) and several wackier weapons (banana peels, shrink rays, bear traps).

We also have a guide tothe funniest co-op cocktailsin the game. Basically, the RPS Hivemind likes this soon-to-be series, is what I’m saying.
