Nothing makes me feel like a sneakers-for-sneaking wearing master thief in video games more than discovering a window on a roof that the developers left in a very obvious spot precisely so I'd feel clever for using it, and in this at least, Otherside's PvP stealth game Thick As Thieves looks to have me covered. Deus Ex creator Warren Spector introduced some pre-alpha footage this evening, and while I won't pretend I'm actually likely to play anything PvP anytime soon that isn't Mechabellum, I enjoyed seeing how they've adapted some of that classic immersive sim DNA Spector is known for into a competitive format.

Please, Watch The Artwork is the follow-up to difference 'em up puzzler Please, Touch The Artwork 2. As hinted by creator Thomas Waterzooi, it's likely coming this October. He performed the announcement in ASMR, which almost relaxed me enough to not be annoyed by the press release's use of the word 'liminal', which in game terms usually just means 'bit spooky, innit'. Still, it is quite spooky. The idea here is that you're a museum worker reporting anomalies in paintings. There's also a sad clown spreading melancholy throughout the art. Waterzooi is keen to point out there's no jumpscares, but you might feel "paranoid, melancholic, isolated and nostalgic". I know how much you all love making "and in the game" comments, so I won't take that away from you. Read more View the full article
What's this? A game with big robots smashing each other to tiny little pieces above a large sci-fi cityscape, and we have not yet covered it. For shame. Mecha Break is a free-to-play multiplayer robo-battler in which you fly around and wreck online foes at speeds no mere human should ever be exposed to, and it now has a release date, as announced in a flashy trailer at the Summer Game Fest. I have no idea if playing this will be as intense as the visual heart attack it looks to be. But maybe when it comes out next month I'll try it out. Read more View the full article
The huge success of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 was another reminder of just how appealing living out a medieval fantasy existence can be. But what if, instead of embodying Henry's story, you told a tale all your own? That's the premise of Chronicles Medieval, revealed during the Summer Games Fest with a trailer featuring the ever-iconic Tom Hardy. With the grandiose battles of Total War and the storytelling potential of Crusader Kings 3, Chronicles Medieval drops you into a 14th-century land with complete freedom. Read the rest of the story...

There are so many games created with direct influence from FromSoftware's action RPGs that a new genre has been created from projects similar to Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Sekiro, ******'s Souls, and Bloodborne. What sets the most worthwhile of these soulslike games apart, though, isn't their ability to replicate the unforgiving combat design of From's catalog, but their approach to making absorbing, often foreboding settings. It's in this kind of world design that 2020's Mortal Shell excelled. Now that we've just seen a first glimpse of its sequel, Mortal Shell 2, it looks like creator Cold Symmetry is offering an increasingly detailed nightmare world to explore that continues this effort.

Jurassic World Evolution has always been an 'almost' series for me. On paper, it's such a slam dunk of a concept it feels to hard to imagine it being anything other than brilliant. In practise, the games have always felt a bit thin and tedious, even while boasting some undeniably impressive dinos. Could the third time be the charm? We'll find out later this year, anyway. Jurassic World Evolution 3 releases 21st October. Here's a trailer. Read more View the full article
