Baba Is You meets Into The Breach in the latest surprise spin-off

All of which will be so much easier if you rewrite the rules by shunting around syntax blocks. And yes, Baba is piloting a giant Baba-shaped mech. I will not remotely pretend that I have the sort of puzzlebrain to conquer this. These days it’ll run you $4on Itch.io, which does include a downloadable soundtrack. Baba getting meched up isn’t the first strange spin-off for the sheepabbitcat and pals. Both of those are free....

Action RPG Sand Land's release date trailer is a montage of Dragon Ball-powered tank shenanigans

What’s the best videogame desert you’ve ever wandered? (And why don’t we have a Best Deserts feature about this I can link to. Journey aside, I rather enjoyed the Hissing Wastes inDragon Age: Inquisition. I have to say, this all seems pretty jolly.

Ask RPS: What will the next 150 years of PC gaming hold?

But such near-sightedness is not what we’re concerning ourselves with today in this latest edition ofAsk RPS. We’re looking much further ahead, thanks to this excellent question from MiniMatt. Will VR become universal? Will the desktop PC box survive or will we all move over to laptops & steam decks? Will industry continue to consolidate or fragment? Get yer nostradamus on and tell us Peter Molyneux’s future. Probably something smaller or maybe even foldable....

Final Fantasy 17 needs "a younger generation" of lead developers, suggests FF16 producer

According to Naoki Yoshida, it might be time for an injection of new blood. “For the moment, I’ll just say nothing’s been decided yet.” What advice would he give a younger developer, taking a leadership position on Final Fantasy 17? Then, from there, you’re able to think. “That was always my core belief in how we should approach Final Fantasy battles. “I mean, I’m sure there are many people who still think that now!...

Going by its demo, Crystal Story: Dawn Of Dusk is a slick retro-modern RPG with many eerie touches

There’s a splash ofUndertale’s crackpot experimentalism to the writing and certain battles, as well. Those are big comparisons to invoke, and I don’t expect Crystal Story to measure up to them. It looks like there are Mode-7 style airship sequences in there, too. The mechanics are a mixture of action-RPGpuzzling and turn-based skirmishes on a smaller screen-within-the-screen. It’s also surprisingly creepy. Seems very promising - I just wish it had a sparkier name....

Armello devs' new multiplayer strategy game in hell captures tabletop treachery like no other

As soon as we come up with an appropriate name for it, we’ll get right on it. Naturally, the person who creates the game gets first dibs on their demon of choice. Don’t set up a game while eating your dinner. You’ll likely lose it before you even begin. “It was insanity,” as Kusters puts it. “It was like a 40-foot vertical wall of friction to get into the game....

Digested is a bodycam horror game about being ssssstuck on an island with a giant snake

Your tactical options seem to consist mostly here of running away. Of all the things I dread being eaten by, snakes are actually pretty low down the list. It’s massive, for starters - a moderately Godzillified anaconda - but also, fast. Functionally, Digested sounds a bit likeSlender: The Eight Pages. Social media will be the death of us all. Digested is slated for release/excretion in 2024.
