Nintendo Download: Secret Highways and Mysterious Strangers

Lots to pick from this week on the Download, including Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath, Kentucky Route Zero, and more.

On the highway with a Stranger

Here we are in the third full week of January and we’ve pretty much gotten back to normal when it comes to the Nintendo Download. The Switch’s weekly selection has been pretty crumby till now here in 2020, but this week sees a big turnaround.

The long awaited Switch version of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath brings its unique brand of action to the console, but it’s far from alone. Also hitting this week is Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition, 198X, Warhammer 40K: Space Wolf, a pair of Telltale’s The Walking Dead ports, and two new Sega Ages.

So there’s quite a bit here to keep you occupied, if you’ve managed to work through all your games from the Holiday Season already. Scroll down for the full list.

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch

• Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition – A magical realist adventure game in five acts, Kentucky Route Zero: TV Editionfeatures a haunting electronic score and a suite of hymns and bluegrass standards. Rendered in a striking visual style that draws as much from theater, film and experimental electronic art as it does from the history of video games, this is a story of unpayable debts, abandoned futures and the human drive to find community. Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition will be available on Jan. 28.

• Mosaic – Mosaic is a dark, surrealistic and atmospheric adventure game about urban isolation and the dread of being a piece in a giant machinery you can’t understand. Solve puzzles on a meditative quest of self-discovery while seeking to escape the grasp of a monolithic corporation.
• Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath – In the dusty, undeveloped wastelands of Western Mudos, cantankerous townsfolk find their settlements besieged by belligerent outlaws. Along comes Stranger, a tall, dark and enigmatic bounty hunter with a mission to capture troublemakers and scoundrels and return them to civilized townships for incarceration. This landmark installment in the Oddworld series features a fast-paced adventure with a seamless blend of first-person and third-person action.
