With a decidedly retro aesthetic As expected, the next game from Lucas Pope won’t be like his last project, the critically acclaimed “dystopian document thriller”Papers, Please. It’s a 3D first-person mystery that takes place aboard a merchant ship, the Obra Dinn, which was thought to be lost at sea for years. It’s now 1808 and the vessel has drifted into port with damaged sails and no visible crew. Playing as an insurance adjustor for the East India Company’s London Office, you’ll board the ship, find the captain’s logbook, and try to piece together what happened....

Gamespot has donesome investigative snoopingonly to come up with the hypothesis that the recentSam and Maxgames may be heading to the Xbox 360. While it is just a rumor, signs including Telltale’s (the developers behindSam and Max) posting of a job offer for an Xbox 360 programmer with the ability to port a PC game to that platform, as well as a love of adventure games, could be considered a veryTelltalesign (see what I did there?...

There’s a bit of an obsession among modern horror fandoms to find the one “true” theory behind pieces of media – one that the creatorsmusthave hidden from ordinary consumers that explains everything.Five Nights At Freddy’scomes to mind, along with a deluge of MatPat videos and Reddit posts trying to pull at phantom threads and chasing ghosts. Silent Hill 2, on the other hand, has the benefit of a very outspoken original creator, Masahiro Ito, who is more than happy to clear up any hare-brained tall tales....

We got our first look at the PC, PS4, and Xbox One project at Square Enix’s E3 2019 conference. The stream was light on details, but the developer described this as a one- to three-player shooter with drop-in, drop-out co-op in which you’ll create your own Outrider and explore the alien world of Enoch....

A newStar Warsthird-person action game has been officially announced, calledStar Wars 1313,and they are going after a mature audience with this one. I hope that means a complex and intelligent story, and not love scenes with Jabba the Hut. Players will get to run around theStar Warsuniverse as a not-yet-named bounty hunter. If that doesn’t get you interested in this game then god help you. Star Wars 1313is being created by LucasArts and all of their sub groups like Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic, and Skywalker Sound....

In a blog post directly on the service, the company explained that “at least” 160 games have had more positive spins based on the fact that those with a granted CD key provided better reviews. “Passion” is a qualifier for some of those, Valve states, but “in many cases, the abuse is clear and obvious, such as duplicated and/or generated reviews in large batches....

Otherwise, it’s a rather jolly time It has taken a while, but Koei Tecmo and Gust’s long-runningAtelierseries is finally clicking with a broader audience.

Whether it’s the changes to the combat, the toned-down magical girl aesthetics, or Gust discovering all we ever wanted were some thicc thighs, the future is promising for this still-pretty-niche-but-not-as-niche-as-it-used-to-be franchise. I’m sure we’ll find out in the next couple of months what the next newAteliergame will be....
