Saturnalia's neon-folk survival horror will stick to you for a very long time

Studio director Pietro Righi Riva explains a little of how this unique horror game was made We’ve got a pretty good line in interesting folk traditions here at RPS. I grew up in a county where staying up all night at the stone circle to welcome the Summer Solstice was an annual tradition (later augmented by a woman wearing antlers offering a selection of downers and hallucinogens), and as a child I had an unnecessary encounter withthe Salisbury Hob-Nob....

Stranded: Alien Dawn is a familiar survival sim with room to grow

Haven’t I crash-landed here before? “LikeRimWorld”, I thought to myself upon hearing the pre-demo pitch, and subsequently wrote in my notes four separate times before ceasing to bother. If only mere words could convey just how much “like RimWorld” Stranded: Alien Dawn is – other 3D-ified clones exist, like last year’sGoing Medieval, but here, even the exact spaceship-wrecking premise matches that of Ludeon Studios' seminal survival sim.

A great price for a reliable entry-level PSU. If the CPU is the brain of your computer and the GPU is the heart, then the power supply are the muscles, turning those thoughts and feelings into concrete action. Wait, that doesn’t make any sense… In any case, power supplies are important, mm’kay, and this 550W 80+ Gold modular one from Corsair is discounted here in the UK.
