Asymmetric survival-horror fest Monstrum 2 wins UK Game of the Show
Yesterday saw the UK Game of the Show digital event kick off, showcasing a hearty batch of the country's up-and-coming videogames for publishers, investors, and the media to take a peek at. Now, the votes are in, and a winner's been declared. Monstrum 2, developer Team Junkfish's asymmetrical survival-horror title that's kind of like Dead By Daylight, but with prisoners versus "oceanic monstrosities", is the UK Game of the Show.
As announced in a roundup of the event on organiser UKIE's site, of the fifteen upcoming PC games and console titles in the competition, Monstrum 2 emerged victorious. The survival game's asymmetric gameplay pits groups of up to four players against a "terrifying" monster, its Steam description explains, who have to escape a "complex, procedurally generated metal labyrinth" - that is, a "decrepit sea fortress" - which has a layout, puzzles, and obstacles that change each time you play through.
"We couldn't believe it when we heard Monstrum 2 had won the UK Game of the Show competition!," a statement from Junkfish says.
