Even in an historic year for RPGs, I’m still damn thirsty for more updates to Dread Delusion, an indie RPG set on the cursed asteroids orbiting a small red star. As part of the Realms Deep 2023 showcase, DreadXP revealed a first look at the game’s Clockwork Kingdom coming later this fall. Dread Delusion’s the…
Bright, bloody and blaring boomer shooter Prodeus is getting an expansion. Announced at this year’s Realms Deep event, Prodeus: Elder Veil adds some new wrinkles to the base game’s bombastic gameplay, by which I mean a grappling hook and a spear. All shooters need a grappling hook and a spear. I’m not entirely sure what…
As part of the Realms Deep 2023 showcase, 3D Realms has shown off the first post-early access launch addition to Cultic, an absolute steal of a shooter that PC Gamer contributor Dominic Tarason dubbed “2022’s grungiest retro FPS.” Cultic might be the perfect October game: a retro shooter with a uniquely saturated, comic book look…
Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory is already a rather sinister affair, but Twisted Tower, revealed at this year’s Realms Deep showcase, is determined to take that concept and dial it up a few more notches. It’s a game that looks to mash together a generous helping of BioShock’s 1920s art deco setting with Roald Dahl’s eerie…
Atooi boss talks Hatch Tales’ delays and reviving a cult classic. Over 15 years since its initial release on the Nintendo DS, horror FPS Dementium: The Ward is getting a re-release on the Nintendo Switch eShop, utilising the 2015 3DS remaster as its foundation. While its creepy low-fi visuals and disturbing creature design have attracted…

During his lines, the camera swivels in the direction of wherever he is on the map. The…
We mean Soccer, not that ‘other’ football. Updated with EA Sports FC 24. Enjoy! Football is the world’s most popular sport, from the elite level of child-like millionaires with dazzling skills and impressive diving techniques, to actual children on playgrounds using jumpers for goalposts. Being a football / soccer fan that owns a Switch, however,…
When Gabe Amatangelo stepped into the director role for Cyberpunk 2077 in May 2021, morale among the team was low. The RPG had sold 13 million copies, yet was plagued with bugs and ran so poorly on older consoles it was pulled from sale on the PlayStation Store. And despite the incredible detail and density…
Sub-Zero to ‘Hero. When you think back on the significant controversy caused by Mortal Kombat back in the ’90s, it’s almost incredible that the series not only survived such choppy waters but managed to flourish into one of the most iconic video game franchises of all time. Over the course of the next 30 years,…
Game on! Well, it’s the end of September. Feel sick yet? Let’s discuss some weekend gaming plans to help out. Before we dive into all that fun stuff, though, let’s first take a look at some of this week’s highlights. We heard the news that Hideki Kamiya was leaving PlatinumGames, took a look at the…
