Splitgate 2 remains a portal-hopping FPS delight, but it really needs to lighten up

Why so serious Now, I never played quite as much as ourBrendy didof the originalSplitgate. But I had a fun time with its mixture of Halo-esque trigger pulling and portalling around! Well, I think it’s… a bit serious? And that’s the thing: Splitgate 2 seemed more serious. Then again, at least guns had some serious punch and some delightful flavour.

Indiana Jones And The Great Circle is both a more "relaxed" Wolfenstein and Riddick plus Nazis

And that’s something that we’ve pushed very hard here. There don’t seem to be many wide-open spaces, but there are plenty of alleyways and tunnels. it’s possible for you to lob spears to create surfaces to swing from, for example. One particular scenario might have you playing the servant and bringing wine to a rancorous fascist. All the old Indy standbys. The Great Circle is “the biggest game MachineGames have ever made”, according to Gustafsson....

Little Nightmare studio’s Reanimal is a creepy co-op adventure inspired by Wind Waker and Silent Hill 2

“That cathartic experience of going through something awful together Little NightmaresDNA runs strong in Tarsier Studios new game. A long-limbed man riding a bicycle in a threadbare suit chases children down an alley. A gangly, bowler-hatted pursuer scuttles down a long table like a spider. It’s familiar enough territory, at least at first glance. Its two playerco-op, for starters. Local or online, though youll still be able to play through solo....

That’s about all we know, but hop below and you’ll find a trailer. The Old Country is being developed by Hangar 13, the same studio responsible forMafia 3. What a twisted web capitalism weaves.

Peter Molyneux is back with new god sim Masters Of Albion, which looks like a stripped-down Black & White

The game in question isMasters Of Albion, which now has a page onSteam. Here’s the first trailer. After the sun goes down, it’s time to play Splat The Undead. All told, this seems rather promising. I particularly like the Wes Anderson-ish viewing perspective. No acorns of overhype so far. Masters Of Albion doesn’t seem to have any web3 in it.

Wasteland Waste Disposal is a cute clean 'em up set in a toxic world (not ours)

Turns out the “megapocalypse” was an unhealthy combination of “every worst-case apocalyptic scenario imaginable”. But acid rain and radioactive storms may weather the hull, according to developers Kluk Digital. There will also be creatures to collect and farm, with helpful or harmful habits. “Not all organisms are created equally useful,” say the game’s creators. Cleaning games have a power over me. All these games fill you with a compulsion to turn goo to gleam, or gnarl to neatness....
