Dimhaven - The Lost Source invites you and your camera to look for your missing uncle on a strange island today

Put a camera in a game, and I'll be there. Not a camera mode, no, no, an actual camera is what I need, and that's just what you're equipped with in Dimhaven - The Lost Source, a mystery, adventure puzzle game where you play as a museum curator looking for her missing uncle on a mysterious, remote island from the devs behind Quern.

HEAVYDELIC is a hand drawn, VHS tape and comic art infused platformer from an alternate timeline with roots in Slavic mythology

It's hard to know exactly what I'm looking at when it comes to HEAVYDELIC. I don't mind that so much because it's enrapturing to look at, a banquet of hand drawn background and sprites that look like they've been ripped straight from the pages of a '70s comic you've never heard of but was more influential than you could know. And as of today, it's out in early access for the price of a cup of coffee. Read more

"The combinations are in the trillions": Star Wars Galactic Racer’s creative director on speeder specialisation, storycrafting, and having “a bit of a smash”

“It's okay to give people a bit of a smash,” Star Wars: Galactic Racer creative director Kieran Crimmins reassured me, after I asked the ex-Criterion Games dev whether rubbin’ is as viable a way of racing as it was in Burnout, the rowdy racing series his former home’s arguably best known for. "I don't think we'd ever really want to make an arcade racer without some of that fun in it." Read more

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's subtle queer characters were all about presenting people "inhabiting this world in an authentic manner"

I do sometimes shudder at the thought of how big Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth actually is, especially as someone who made a beeline for the main story on my playthrough for the most part. Its size does also allow for a lot of smaller details though, like one background (and I really do mean background) plot that follows the romantic relationship of a lesbian couple across the game's various locales. And according to game director Naoki Hamaguchi, the choice to depict characters like this was all in

Here comes a new launcher for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, annnnd there goes the new launcher after a day of backlash from roaring traders

If you blinked for longer than usual between June 22nd and today, June 23rd, you might have missed Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader having a shiny new launcher fitted to it and that new launcher subsequently being taken right back off again. In between those two points was a loud chorus of boos from players keen to not have to deal with yet another launcher. Read more

Star Wars: Galactic Racer let me play podracer ping-pong, though its high-stakes roguelike gauntlet feels more tuned for pace-focused speeder freaks

“You race like a poodoo!” podracer Ben Quadinaros, a large bit of snot whose body is 60% face, yells as we sweep through a turn side-by-side. “Right,” I think as I begin to channel my inner Dale Earnhardt, “you’re going in the wall”. The blatant side-swipe that dashes Ben and his gangly craft against the rocks of the narrow trench also wipes me out. Usually in this sort of situation I’d respawn unrepentant, but Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s ge
