Today at the Triple-I Initiative, open world survival RPG Enshrouded revealed what’s coming in next month’s update, and it can be summed up in one foreboding phrase: “Rebirth of the Shroud.” That means deadly new monsters and mysterious new locations are lurking in those perilous shrouded regions of the world, along with plenty of new…
It’s hard not to be eager for The Alters, the scifi survival game from Frostpunk developer 11 Bit Studios that our Joshua Wolens once described as “Subnautica plus Midnight Suns except instead of Wolverine and Blade you’re juggling your relationships with several clones of a working class Polish guy.” With a pitch like that—and a…
During today’s Triple-i Initiative stream, developer Coldblood Inc. shared a first look at its upcoming horror life sim, Neverway. It’s the debut game from a studio co-founded by Celeste pixel artist Pedro Medeiros, with a soundtrack from Hyper Light Drifter composer Disasterpeace. Neverway looks to combine a few of my favorite things: late night brooding,…
One of my favourite movie tales concerns Marathon Man, a 1976 thriller starring Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier.

I’ve never been the strongest swimmer; despite weekly trips to the pool with school, I never did manage to graduate from the shallow end paddlers. While some of my peers took to the water like a duck, or swam like a fish, I thrashed around like an octopus whose stubborn limbs refused to co-ordinate. Truly,…
At the Triple-I Initiative today, Barotrauma developer Fakefish revealed its next co-op survival game. It’s swapped out its infamous submarine for another metal beast: a train, and instead of a 2D survival game this time it’s an FPS. In Frostrail, players will “endure a desolate post-apocalyptic world with arctic temperatures, unspeakable horrors, and one life-sustaining…
In the run up to the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, a lot of people apparently became very concerned about the series’ historical accuracy. It was a bit perplexing, because as anyone who’s actually played an Assassin’s Creed knows, their historical accuracy usually hovers around the same level as an episode of Doctor Who. A…
It’s fair to say that we’ve been impressed by the RTX 5070 Ti, at least on paper. Nvidia’s RTX 50-series lineup has had its ups and downs, but the upper mid-range (bordering on high-end) card looks to hit the sweet spot between impressive performance, DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation goodies, and price.
