Don’t Nod is aiming for heightened emotions in Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, and considering its track record with narrative titles, I’d say it will push past the boundaries of the stories it has told in the past. The game will launch in two tapes (parts) in early 2025; Bloom will be released in February, and Rage will follow one…
Today’s second (now-annual) Panic Games Showcase shows off recent and upcoming titles being published by Panic. (In case there’s any confusion, the date in the title is for Australia and the date in the header image is North America.) All the games overlap with last year’s presentation, which you can…
Read MoreTennis is a difficult sport to bring into video game form. It’s not because the sport itself is mechanically challenging. Compared to the likes of football it is limited both in terms of the number of players competing and the expansive flow of the game. And compared to something like…
