There are so many video games that are either coming out or have already released, and I haven't had time to play that it's nearly impossible to keep track of them. In fact, I keep an Excel spreadsheet just for that purpose. One game has been on my list of the most anticipated Xbox releases for over three years now, and has been hit with multiple delays and bouts of silence that have prevented me from getting my hands on it.
During Summer Game Fest 2024, my luck finally changed. REPLACED is an upcoming retro-futuristic 2.5D platformer coming exclusively to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, and Xbox and PC Game Pass, and I finally got to go hands-on with the gorgeous pixelated adventure with Xbox at SGF Play Days. It turns out that three years of waiting and two years of delays might very well be worth it, given that REPLACED ended up being one of my favorite games that I played at Summer Game Fest.
