Sylas leads a revolution this Spring The Mageseeker follows the escaped mage Sylas on his revenge journey through the kingdom of Demacia. The kingdom has maintained peace with the blood of mages, so, of course, Sylas raises an army of rogue mages and leads a revolution. Riot describe the game as “an action-packed fantasy,” exploring themes of “power, identity, and justice.” Moonlighter was an interesting, moreish game, despite its simple combat, so I’m interested to see how the team expands their action chops while applying some new, fresh features to the LoL world....

If only I was a good enough wizard to make this admin disappear! I’ve never had much of a desire for “I’m attending school” sims, because I hated attending school and not having to do it is one of the prime benefits of growing out of your teens. Running a school though? That’s a challenge I don’t mind taking on. Twopoint Campus does a great plate-spinning take on a school admin sim, but if you want something with cards, a dark lord, and the option for organic school meals, then… well, then you’re making a very specific request....

Enrollment at the Academy of Greifenstein will begin shortly Spells & Secretsis an eye-catching, dungeon-crawling, magic-slinging action-rougelite with a lot of potential — and it’s set in an academy for wizards, so basically catnip to me as a fan of a good high school story. I first became aware of this upcoming game while covering last summer’sFuture Of Play Direct, and I’ve been itching to write something about it ever since....

Sure are a lot of spinning blades in this dream Magic Week could use a dash moredarkmagic, I reckon.Through The Nightmaresmay not be about spellcasting and amateur alchemy, but it still draws upon the arcane and otherworldly, setting its deviously difficult action-platforming inside the sleepscapes of frightened children. You are the Sandman, and you are neither sprinkling happy dust on Danish eyelids nor delivering Liberace-haired boyfriends to vocal quartets. Instead, you’re an active fighter of nightmares, diving into the brains of restless kids to explore their most traumatic memories and, ultimately, defeat the monstrous embodiments of their fears....

Vote now! Last time, you decided thatthrowing knives are better than active reload. I enjoyed the spirited discussion over which throwing knives are good and which are bad. I can’t help but feel active reload didn’t get a fair shake because so few games do it outside Gears Of War, but the results are science and we must continue. This week, I suppose our choices are both about architecture, but in very different ways....

A tale of a fawn and a wolf pup I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if there’s a cute animal game that looks like it’s going to make me cry, then sign me up, I’m ready to go. In fairness, though, co-op adventureBlanclooks like it’s going to be a lot lighter than games likeEndling: Extinction is Foreverand the notoriously upsettingShelterseries at first glance, but I’ve learned toneverlet my guard down around these kinds of games....

Digging up old bones It’s highly unlikely that a release window for,checks notes, six years in the future is concrete. What’s happening, then? Previously Steam didn’t have any hard and fast rules on how games displayed their release dates, but a fairly recent updateintroduced some new policiesthat standardises date displays (these policies still allow for a vague “Coming Soon” display, though). When the game was put on hold, Campo’s co-foundertold Polygonthat In The Valley Of Gods “certainly feels like a project people can and may return to....
