Darwin’s Paradox Announced at State of Play

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 14:00:53 +0000

Normally, I would cover a Sony State of Play in its entirety. However, last week was a bit hectic, and I wasn’t able to. One announcement from the show caught my eye though, especially related to other news that circled after it. Konami’s latest published game has not only gained attention at the State of Play but has also had a real-world impact. Darwin’s Paradox, developed by ZDT Studio and…

Split Fiction Developer Releases New Trailer

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 14:00:38 +0000

Admittedly, It Takes Two wasn’t my sort of game. The story didn’t really resonate with me, though I did enjoy the gameplay quite a bit. Split Fiction, the next game in Hazelight Studios’ brand of Co-op experiences, seems to be more my style though. With Split Fiction releasing on March 6th, the developers at Hazelight released a new trailer, showcasing more about Split Fiction. In the trailer…

Ruffy and the Riverside Gets Demo

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 14:00:25 +0000

I’m always keeping an eye on games that I come across (or that are shown to me) that remind me of previous gaming eras and experiences. Games like Shovel Knight evoked the previous generation of gaming yet found their own success and glory. Now, it seems another challenger is stepping up, evoking the N64 era yet surpassing it in some ways. Developer Zockrates Laboratories has released its demo…

Planet Coaster 2 (Xbox Series X) Review

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 16:00:03 +0000

Planet Coaster is one of the games I have played the most on the Xbox Series X. As a huge fan of sandbox-style simulation games and evidently a theme park nerd, this series is tailor-made for my niche interests. I also adored the RollerCoaster Tycoon games back in the day, so you can imagine how much joy I have in saying Planet Coaster 2 is here and bringing the series to new heights.

Best Served Cold gets Steam Demo

Alexx Aplin — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 16:00:38 +0000

I love a good murder mystery. Agatha Christie mysteries are a lot of fun, but I can get into all sorts of “whodunnit” stories. Now you can check out a demo for a new game that blends mystery with another variety of fun, bartending. Best Served Cold has you working as a bartender in a fictional speakeasy, where murder suspects, witnesses, and other folks gather. It’ll be up to you to solve the…

Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered (PC) Review

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 29 Jan 2025 18:00:28 +0000

2024 was the 25th anniversary of the release of the first Soul Reaver game. In celebration of this release, Aspyr released Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered. This also marks the first “new” release in the Legacy of Kain franchise after it went dormant in 2003 after the release of Legacy of Kain: Defiance, which merged the storyline arcs of the main series and the Soul Reaver series. As such…

The upcoming March 4th release date of Two Point Museum is approaching quickly. With that in mind, I have been eager to see what new details Sega and the development team would reveal ahead of time. Now it seems that a new video is giving us a closer look at the ins and outs of managing such a chaotic museum. As with all the Two Point games, Two Point Museum is one-part simulation…

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Release Date Announced

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 18:00:13 +0000

Apparently, there was an Xbox Direct last Thursday. It would have been nice if they had advertised that to the press. Anyway, among the myriad of announcements were new details on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I’ve been interested in this new RPG for a while, and we finally have a release date. Barring any major delays, it seems that Sandfall Interactive and Kepler Interactive will be releasing…

Afterlove EP Gets Release Date

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 14:00:04 +0000

From the moment I saw the first trailer for Afterlove EP, I knew that this visual novel was going to be a powerful experience. What I didn’t expect was for it to be the last project that Mohammad Fahmi, the original Coffee Talk creator, worked on before his passing in 2022. Now, Afterlove EP has a release date after being taken over by developer Pikselnesia. Fittingly, Afterlove EP will be…
