If you're a fan of gruff blokes punching goons and putting the pedal to the metal in muscle cars, Samson looks like it'll be up your alley.

Years after toxic workplace allegations, Fullbright's next game asks you to chat it up in a hot spring

There's a new game from Fullbright on the way, revealed tonight at the PC Gaming Show, called Springs, Eternal. The studio's obviously best known for narrative focused games like Gone Home and Tacoma, and Springs, Eternal unsurprisingly looks like more of that, albeit with more of a lo-fi, not-quite PS1 but certainly lower poly kind of vibe, this time set in a hot spring.

There are two gods in Dreamfall's third-person survival story Hello Sunshine. One is the enormous robot who saves your life in the game's first and only cutscene - a flaking, orange-hooped juggernaut who promptly turns away from you and trudges eastward, its back emblazoned with a command to "follow". The other god is the sun. The entangled movement of these gods defines your own. The sun will dry you to leather in moments, and cover is scarce in the game's post-apocalyptic desert. So you mu

Hooded Horse reveal Substructure, a factory sim from a top Factorio modder in which you excavate the layers of a rogue planet

If you were Senior Floor Manager of Earth, and a weird planet innocently appeared on the fringe of our solar system, what would you do? I would probably not zip out there and plant a factory on that planet, in much the same way that I wouldn’t high-five a bear-shaped shadow on the edge of a campsite.
