Death climbing “So, you’ve fallen off a mountain,” strikes me as a brilliant book to write and then stock in every mountainside gift shop across the land, purely for the image of a falling climber rapidly scanning the pages as they tumble comically to their doom, searching for the one piece of sage advice that might alleviate their predicament.

It’s got Subnautica’s premise of being a shipwreck survivor starting afresh from an escape capsule, piecing together the backstory signal by signal, database entry by database entry. It’s got Subnautica’s core loop of exploring while dealing with the problem of decreasing oxygen, scavenging fist-sized chunks of raw material and scanning wreckage for blueprints, then crafting items and gear back at base....

Jett: The Far Shoreand Sword & Sworcery developers Superbrothers are making a new “2D mystery action pixel videogame”, in partnership with an unnamed publisher. In what feels almost like a pivot away from the developers' previous, magnificently hipster experiments, it’s billed as “satisfyingly finite, immediately legible, entertaining, funny, and generally satisfying for a broad audience”.

19 games for 35 nicker 19 is such an annoying number in terms of the page layout that I’m almost convinced to never give to charity again, but there are some very nice games, including the aforementioned Shadows Of Doubt,Dungeons And Degenerate Gamblers,Citizen Sleeper,Another Crab’s Treasure,Two Point Campus, andDeathsprint 66.
