Son and Bone is an unabashed video game fever dream, the kind of thing a non-gamer probably thinks the medium is actually full of. A bombastic boomer-shooter, players take on the role of Sam Judge, a sheriff on the trail of an infamous bandit, who unexpectedly finds himself on an alien world inhabited by dinosaurs.

In a new PS5 gameplay trailer, we are immediately assaulted by industrial-grade heavy metal music, violent finishers, and a surprising amount of double-jumping platforming action. It doesn't take long before unsuspecting dinosaurs are getting gibbed left and right in shockingly violent fashion, with a wide variety of high-calibre weaponry or even just fists. There is still no firm release on this one, but the developer says it's "coming soon… very, very soon… seriously."

What do you think of Son and Bone? Does it seem like a bit of harmless fun or too over the top? Let us know respectfully in the comments section below.
