Presumably still riding high from the successful launch of its Silent Hill 2 remake, which sold over one million copies in its first week, Bloober Team has announced a new sci-fi survival horror game. Cronos: The New Dawn is an all-new horror experience from a studio with a great grasp of the genre. (Its past titles speak for themselves —…
I get that voxel art is super trendy right now, and normally I’d rebel against the trends… but I’m super into it. It’s retro yet contemporary at the same time. As Britney Spears says, gimme more! Station to Station is a cozy, voxel art railway sim that falls solidly into…
Read MoreFuture Games Show is usually a good showcase to watch (here are my highlights from their Not-E3 2023 edition). Yes, there will be lots of shooty-shooty, but there’s generally also some really thoughtful, creative games thrown into the mix. The Gamescom 2023 edition runs for approximately 90 minutes and features…
Read MoreIt’s time for the first Level Infinite digital showcase! The company is still quite new; it launched in December 2021. This showcase is approximately 40 minutes long and features games coming mobile devices, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. There’s no Nintendo Switch titles here, sorry folks!…
Read MoreBack when it launched in 2019, Matt really liked Passpartout: Starving Artist. He called it “enjoyable, thanks to its lighthearted presentation and biting, and yet amusing, sense of humour,” and gave it four on five stars. A sequel, Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist, was released for PC in April of…

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet DLC The Hidden Treasures of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask will feature some new varieties, including Poltchageist. I think it’s…
Read MoreI love that games based on books are becoming more of a thing lately, and not just comic books. The Invincible is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by hard science-fiction author and Polish futurologist Stanisław Lem, and it mixes expansive space vistas with retro-futuristic and atompunk…

Read MoreI’m most fond of Don’t Nod for its developed games; I don’t think anyone can disagree that Life is Strange is absolutely iconic (though has now gone to other developers, namely Deck Nine), and I’m very fond of Tell Me Why. So far it has only published one outside game,…
Read MoreFree-to-play games can run the gamut from terrible and money-hungry to quite good (though still usually money-hungry). While I prefer premium games, even in the mobile world, some free-to-play games just catch my attention. Enter upcoming tactical RPG Sword of Convallaria. Calling it “Fire Emblem meets Final Fantasy Tactics” makes…
Read MoreThe Isle Tide Hotel is Wales Interactive’s latest FMV title. It was originally supposed to launch in Q2 2023, but it bumped back slightly and will now be launching in September (Q3). No bother; that’s really not much more of a wait for what I believe from experience will be…
