The winter half of the yearly charity speedrunning marathon Awesome Games Done Quick kicks off this Sunday, January fifth. Donations to Games Done Quick will profit the Prevent Cancer Foundation. The week lengthy marathon will cowl a bunch of speedrunning mainstays together with some new additions from 2019.
On Sunday you’ll be capable of try speedruns for a couple of PC games: A Hat In Time, Star Wars – Escape From Yavin 4: The Lost Maps, and The Binding Of Isaac Afterbirth+. If you’re into a couple of non-PC speedruns, you’ll be able to try Metroid, Mario, Zelda, and others on Sunday as effectively.
Throughout the week you’ll be able to catch speedruns of a number of new games from 2019. At a look I’ve noticed Blasphemous, Control, Katana ZERO, The Outer Worlds, Untitled Goose Game, and Manifold Garden for brand new PC additions from final 12 months.
For my half, I keep in mind ending Untitled Goose Game and being defeated by the sight of a brand new checklist of goose duties known as “To-Do (Quickly!!).” I’ve by no means been a very fast gamer so maybe I’ll wind up lurking within the viewers part for that one subsequent week to attain a couple of recommendations on crossing off my remaining goose checklist.
You can watch the marathon on the Games Done Quick Twitch channel beginning at 4:30pm GMT/8:30am PST on January fifth. You may peruse the complete schedule of games being performed fast on the event website.
