Hey Poor Player's Jonathan Trussler writes... "Have a quick gander at Steam or the Playstation store and you’ll see no end of titles lovingly recreating pixel-art 2D console games, scratching a nostalgic itch for gamers of a certain age. However, those who harken back to old school PC FPS titles tend to find that same itch on that hard to each spot between the upper back and shoulderblades – remaining irritatingly unscratched. Now, Bedlam is here to give you all the low-res, low polygon count, unrefined circle-strafing shootery you can handle!"

That probably means payday is just around the corner too and so where better to spend your latest wages than with the new Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight sale? Take a look at the full list of bargains available for both Xbox One and Xbox 360 players between the 28th March and 3rd April 2017. It's a pretty good week...especially if you like your wrestling."
If it were for its gameplay alone, Bedlam would probably be regarded as a lacking first-person shooter that would have been better if it were released 30 years ago, but when you throw in its surprisingly good storytelling and amazing sense of atmosphere, it becomes an adventure worth embarking upon
I like the look of this game. We need more games that are based on novels! I love Metro 2033 and I want to see more people adapting novels into games
Yeah, if done right, there's a ton of untapped potential in the novel department!
Seen review scores all over the spectrum for Bedlam, but I think any developer should be applauded for trying something different, even if it doesn't quite hit the mark.
I'm getting this in a few years once I finish Fallout 4 and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
Pitched as a shooter for those who survived online gaming in the 80s and 90s, Bedlam takes a look through an iconic time in online gaming serving up some authentic gaming nostalgia with up-to-date graphics and gaming features.
