Turn-based RPG Entropy offers up a world abandoned by the gods that looks like a PS1 game fished from a toilet

An hour into Entropy, the new turn-based RPG from Dread Delusion studio Lovely Hellplace, I stumbled on three randos frenziedly interrogating a severed head. In theory, the head belonged to a demon, one of the hellspawn who had recently laid the realm to waste, but the bystanders seemed… ambiguous on this front. I wasn't really in a position to judge: by this point in the demo, my party had…

Here's a choose your own adventure RPG from a former Capcom dev who spent six years in a remote Japanese mountain village making it

I wonder if enough thought has been put into where a game gets made. There is surely a special quality in other art forms like film where you might be whisked away to another country, or in theatre where you construct a world on a stage. Games mostly get made in office buildings, which isn't particularly magical sounding. What about a remote Japanese mountain village? Well, this is exactly what…

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Deathwatch picks up where Daemonhunters' XCOM-ish gorefest left off

All roads lead to, and sometimes return to, XCOM. In this case, it's more of a return, as a sequel to Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters was announced this week, replacing its demonic subtitle with an equally gloriously edgy "Deathwatch." This one's apparently a direct sequel to Daemonhunters, now putting you in charge of the Imperium's "most elite alien-hunters," once again taking the…

This week in PC games: Tokyo-drifting in Forza Horizon 6, communist grifting in Disco Elysium follow-up Zero Parades, or dystopia tifting in puzzle game Phonopolis

Have no fear, dear reader. Yes, I am once standing in for Edwin to battle The Maw and bring forth its tidings of upcoming PC games. But the beast has not eaten our news editor. Not this time. Instead, Edwin's been called away to Krakow where he will be using his creature-wrestling skills to tussle with a dragon.

Horror RPG Look Outside's chunky new 2.3 update gives you even more reason to share soup with the cursed folk living in your basement

Funky horror RPG Look Outside has just gotten a big update, with some fresh additions, enough balancing tweaks to kill any window-looking monsters, and some extra "nasty surprises" for its cursed mode. Seriously, these are some looooooooooooooooooong patch notes for the Devolver-published flick of spooky pixel artist Francis Coulombe.

I hope you're hungry, because Dosa Divas storms out of the kitchen today

I expect that writing this up is about to make me quite hungry. Dosa Divas! It's the latest small-scale RPG from Outerloop Games, the same devs behind 2023's Thirsty Suitors. Where their previous game was all about battling off unsuitable suitors, food takes centre stage in Dosa Divas, pitting you as a pair of sisters and their trusty ancient spirit-mech who are "on a mission to defeat a rotten…

This week in PC games: sci-fi shooter Pragmata, 2.5D platformer Replaced, and the most wishlisted game on Steam compete with illuminated manuscripts

As you may well know, Edwin has been devoured by The Maw more than once in his time as news editor. Though you cant say he's not learned from the experience of being a digestee. Knowing that The Maw becomes particularly agitated in weeks stuffed with new releases, I suspect he saw the bloated Steam Upcoming chart and hastily booked his holiday, leaving us to wrangle the beast.

Pride precipitates a dizzying fall in Ascenders, a climbing game spin on Darkest Dungeon

Ascenders: Beyond The Peak is a new turn-based roguelite in which a bunch of alpine occultists try to recover cursed artefacts from Lovecraftian mountains, before the world ends. Lotta genre references and parallels there, so let me boil it down for you: this appears to be Darkest Dungeon plus gravity.

Vaunted's tactical combat looks fine, but I'm most interested in the consequences of rewriting history when one of its dodgy mercenaries bites the bullet

We've all been there. You and two other morally dubious alien treasure hunters have an expedition go wrong, and find yourselves having to tactically blast through some baddies in order to secure some relics in timely fashion. Well, at least that's situation the three protagonists of Vaunted, a newly announced tactical RPG, find themselves in.

What does another French studio like the Solasta 2 team feel when it sees Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 win all the awards? It's a simple answer: pride

The French game development studio of the moment is undoubtedly Sandfall Interactive, the creator of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. That studio's award-hogging game has been recognised not once but twice by French president Emmanuel Macron, by way of championing French creativity. But while such success can bring attention to a region, it can also put pressure on.

"Everyone is comparing us to Baldur's Gate 3 so there's no way to avoid it" - But Solasta 2 is different in some very important ways

There's one overriding comparison people make about Solasta 2 and that's it looks a lot like Baldur's Gate 3 - which to be fair, it does. It's Dungeons & Dragons, isometric-ish, party-based and turn-based. It's even got some of the same voice actors in it (Amelia Tyler, the narrator from Baldur's Gate 3; and Devora Wilde, who played Lae'zel). Glance from one game to the other and they could be…
