Remember Toem? That was a bloody lovely game. I'm always partial to a game where photography is the core mechanic, there's such a specific joy in navigating a space attempting to capture a fracture of its essence. Photo modes just aren't the same, I want someone to textually give me a camera and send me on my way. A sequel was announced last year, quite simply called Toem 2, and during yesterday's Day of the Devs, some gameplay was shown off for the first time. Read more View the full article
The build-up to Build a Rocket Boy’s debut release has been a confusing one at times. When it was announced that Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies had formed a new Edinburgh studio, it took so long for the company to show its hand that speculation ran rife, with some certain that its first title would be focused around NFTs (as was the trend at the time). When the studio finally opened its doors to the media in early 2023, I was in attendance in its Leith office to get the first proper details on Everywhere, its ambitious Fortnite-like metaverse.

"The river is a god, and they killed her" is a hell of a way to start off a trailer, but that's how things get rolling in the new video for All Will Rise, which despite sounding like some sort of supernatural thriller is in fact a "narrative courtroom deck-builder" about ordinary people holding the wealthy and powerful to account for their actions...

While the upcoming Slay the Spire 2 hovers threateningly over the deckbuilding landscape, one game in the genre is replacing the usual boney arithmetic with harsh words, legal loopholes, and subtle threats. All Will Rise is a "narrative deckbuilder" set in a tense courtroom where you play a lawyer cross-examining those who may or may not be involved in the brutal ******* of a holy river.

With the announcement of its free summer update, Disney Dreamlight Valley has also revealed what's next for the Storybook Vale expansion. After its originally release at the end of 2024, Storybook Vale players have been desperately waiting several months to complete the story and uncover who the remaining secret character is. Now, on July 9th, 2025, the wait will finally come to an end. View the full article
If we're being honest with ourselves, the original PSP was a sort of Proto-Switch too, no? As in it was home to a lot of odd, smaller-scope games that not many other platforms might have featured outside of Nintendo's earlier handhelds. Patapon was one such tiny oddity, one of the most charming games on the platform, if not to ever outright exist. It did go on to get a couple of sequels, but the series (outside of an upcoming remaster of the first two) is sort of dead. Luckily, Ratatan, a spiritual successor from Patapon's creator is here to satisfy your tiny-guy-chanting-to-music needs with a newly revealed release date! Read more View the full article
GameBoy-styled fantasy adventure Everdeep Aurora has dug deep enough to uncover a release date. If you've missed this pretty retro platformer, it looks sort of like a monochromatic SteamWorld Dig but with friends to meet instead of enemies to smash. You are a cat, and your cat mum has gone missing. The only clue is a note from her telling you to dig down and find her. It's a little bit Spelunky, a little bit Gato Roboto, and it's coming out in a month's time. Read more View the full article

Despite having been released nearly a decade ago, Stardew Valley players keep finding new ways to torment Mayor Lewis by finding creative ways to use his purple shorts. From giving the shorts to Marnie, adding them to the Luau Festival Soup or even wearing them yourself, the number of ways to utilize Lewis' discarded clothing in Stardew Valley just grew even larger.

007 First Light developer IO Interactive is sharing their thought process behind why the actor chosen to portray the iconic James Bond in the game is being kept a secret. Few film franchises have become as iconic as the James Bond franchise, following the titular British Secret Service agent's adventures around the world. The franchise stands as one of the highest-grossing media properties of all-time, with the original novels being adapted into everything from the beloved film series to comics and more. Now, James Bond's newest video game adventure, 007 First Light, is exciting fans ahead of its release. View the full article
I strapped on my crampons for an initial peek at Abiotic Factor's Cold Fusion update back in April, but at the time it wasn't wholly clear how it would tie into the run up to the game's 1.0 launch. Now though, developer Deep Field Games has stated explicitly that Cold Fusion is the 1.0 launch, and that the new area the update adds—the Residence Sector—will represent the final chapter of Deep Field's survivalist tribute to Half-Life...

Arc Raiders! It's an extraction shooter! A fact that will leave many with the question, "is this the one that'll push the genre to the mainstream?" Personally I haven't the foggiest, and I don't have a horse in that race either. That kind of nonsense matters more to shareholders than it does to little old me. Still, we've not got a huge amount of time to wait to find out if Arc Raiders is the one to make extraction shooters big, as during Geoff's Livestream of Questionable Quality and Orbs, it got a release date.

Capcom has not yet revealed gameplay details for Resident Evil Requiem, as the initial trailer focuses on the story, characters, and locations. The game's scenario appears to draw heavily from the franchise's history, likely to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original Resident Evil's 1996 release.
