Reminisce with the HD Remaster demo, out now There is one good dog in video games and his name is Missile the Pomeranian. Fight me. On second thought, maybe don’t fight me. My wrists are quite dainty truth be told, and I’d almost certainly end up pegging it in an actual fist fight. If that happened, I might turn into a ghost that’s forever doomed to manipulate objects within arm’s reach that may or may not change the course of people’s history....

This year’s sleeper hit? Sometimes all you need from a video game is a bit of bloodshed with your pals. And sometimes, all you need from a sequel is the first one, but a bit bigger and bit better. Having spent a few hours with third-personco-opshooterRemnant 2, I reckon it’s shaping up to be exactly those two things. It remains unconcerned with telling groundbreaking stories or delivering breathtaking cinema in its fights - it doesn’t care....

Admire these interesting and attractive indie games Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s#screenshotsaturdaytag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week’s selection is a bit small because Twitter is throwing another technical wobbly and refusing to show the full weekend’s posts, but the games are still good! Come enjoy town-building, a little snail, and a great deal of violence in this week’s selection....

A criminal gal and her space dog Star Wars: Outlaws, Ubisoft’s open world take on the far, far away galaxy, had itscinematic revealjust yesterday.

As revealed in this ASMR heavy story trailer Oh, to run a noodle bar in a cyberpunk city. Upcoming slice-of-life RPGNivalispresents a cosy fantasy: you can stroll through rainy neon streets, do a spot of interior design, chat with your lovers, rivals, business partners and friends. As the soothing and only slightly creepy ASMR-style narrator in the new story trailer reveals, you can also take boat trips while praying you don’t cross paths with the murderous android serial killer on the loose....

Forza Horizon, that is The Crew Motorfestlooks a lot like aForza Horizongame. It’s an open world racer set in O’ahu, Hawaii with street, track and off-road races structured around a festival. Given how good Forza Horizon games are, I am fine with all of these similarities. At tonight’s Ubisoft Forward, the third game inThe Crewseries got a couple of trailers and a relese date: September 14th. Let’s start with the cinematic trailer:...

Them’s fighting lanes Street Fighter 6may be the hot new fighting game in town, but like every other fighting game in history, it lacks depth: literal depth, ha ha, el oh el.Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Ageis here to fix that, mixing up the classic punch ‘em up formula with three lanes for you to manoeuvre around during 2v2 fights. The result looks messy, but also interesting enough that you might want to try the currently-running free open beta....

A high-speed, low-cost drive for ferrying files or installing operating systems. Flash drive deals have proven surprisingly popular here at RPS, so today we’re returning with an evolution on the formula: a high-end USB-C flash drive that sports impressive 400MB/s reads and 60MB/s writes, with a capacity of 128GB, for just £13 rather than the usual £19. That’s a great deal from my point of view, and well worth reading upwards of four paragraphs about or potentially just clicking through to the product page linked enticingly below…...

Ezio, Kassandra and Connor are coming to the Meta Quest I sure wish my living room was that neat and tidy. Alas, if I ever decide to partake in Assassin’s Creed Nexus, I’ll have to make do with awkwardly shifting my living coffee table out the way every time in order to make room for it - and I’ll still probably whack my knee on the corner of it in the process every damn time....

Mind yourself Behind an ominous door next to a pizza joint, I bore witness to 30 minutes ofAlan Wake 2in an extended presentationbased on the traileryou might have seen at the sumSummer Game Festshowcase. I didn’t get to see any of Alan himself, but I did get to see a slice of horror, investigation, and action as the other playable character Saga Anderson. And without a doubt, Remedy are making a big push for this to be a detective game alongside a survivalhorrorone....

A cozy island paradise? Don’t mind if I do Who would have thought a bathtub would make a great little tugboat, but after seeingCritter Cove’s protagonist toot his way around a sunny archipelago, it makes perfect sense. Announced during the PC Gaming Show, Critter Cove is an upcoming life-sim where making strange contraptions is all part of the fun. Check out the trailer below. Critter Cove has that all-familiar life-sim feel....

Lots of magic combat Here’s the video: Avowedis set in Eora, the same world as Pillars Of Eternity, and specifically on an island beset by plague and covered in strange plant life called the Living Lands. Expect sentient mushrooms and angry lizard-like tribes, experienced through first-person combat rather than Pillars' top-down perspective. The narrator of the trailer above is Kai, one of Avowed’s companions. “Kai is a Coastal Aumaua currently residing in the Living Lands and is one of the only friendly faces you’ll find here,” saysa post on Xbox Wirefrom Obsidian co-founder Feargus Urquhart....
