Airlock-hopping immersive sim Skin Deep is as playful as an ten-week-old kitten

It’s your job, when things go wrong, to save them from their captors. Just be careful, because it’ll do the same to you. It’s full of great dialogue, for one thing. When two guards discuss torture options for the hostage crew, they settle on shaving the cats for information. “Shaving cats is against the Geneva Convention!” mutters Nina from behind her steaming pipes and wall panelling, voice filled with disdain for these interlopers....

Are you a failure? Wanderstop might be the "cosy" game for you

She is, in her own words, a ruinous “failure”. After all, you’ve got the option to’t fail at drinking a cuppa. You’re making tea, but that includes all the farming involved before the first flush. Sow in a line to get a small hybrid plant with blue seeds. There is somethingvery Dick Van Dykeabout the internal decor of the house. Little toy trains wheel in and out of waterfalls and heaters - a washing machine for tea cups....

Castle V Castle is a snappy minimalist card game with robots, witches, and sentient doomer signage

That’s actually quite fitting, because this minimaliststrategygame has the rhythms of a call-and-response rap battle. Each generates different resources each turn - magic, weapons, bricks. Your goal is to either smash your opponent’s castle to bits or build yours up 25 bricks high. Uh, the builder’s hard hat is made of… congealed acorn porridge? Sure, that’ll do. Spend a few turns building up and buffing, then go all out offensive, that sort of thing....

Fable has been delayed until 2026 because the studio needs more time, says Xbox

There’s nothing particularly mind-blowing among it. Some combat, some vistas. But it’s something. “We are actually going to give Fable more time and it’s going to ship in 2026 now. I have unequivocal confidence in the Playground team.” Duncan goes on to talk over somepre-alpha footage of the RPG. At another point the hero is using sausages in a frying pan as bait in a bear trap. I can cofirm this is how the British aristocracy spend their time ever since fox hunting got banned....

Assassin's Creed Shadows has leaked a month before release, and Ubisoft are cracking down on stealthy early videos

“Any footage shared online does not represent the final quality of the game.” Quite how all this has happened remains to be explained, but Ubisoft are naturally rather annoyed. “Leaks are unfortunate and can diminish the excitement for players. We kindly ask you not to spoil the experience for others. Thank you to our community for already taking steps to protect everyone from spoilers.

DuneCrawl’s on-foot fighting is no match for its crab walker warfare

Shock and claw A question, readers. All awkward swordfighting, sluggish shooting, and constant rolling in place of positioning nous. Then you get on the big crab, and it fuckin rocks. There is some non-endearing jank that needs addressing. A shame, as we were well up for more stompy crab fights at that point.

According to Sawyer, the audience “is not huge, typically, but very passionate. “Tactics games have a very enthusiastic fanbase, but the fanbase is not humungous,” he said. But if all of them buy it, that’s still not that many people.”

Afterlove EP review

Your job is to help Rama escape his own labyrinth of bereavement, self-pity and tortured creativity. I like Afterlove EP’s deft writing, and enjoy its splendid and specific recreation of 21st century Jakarta. But I do not much like being Rama’s friend, at this particular moment in his life. And by extension, I did not enjoy a lot of Afterlove EP, much as I admire it. (Among his other faults, I found Rama to be an abysmal lyricist....
