How the creators of SpaceChem and Eliza flirted with the grim darkness of the far future Warhammer 40,000 has more than a few factories. Some are as big as planets - seething furnace worlds that go down miles, where ancient clans of labourers heave away devoutly for generations, without ever glimpsing the sky. The Imperium Of Man as a whole is a monstrous exercise in mass production, with countless outputs - bolter shells to the frontlines, stray psykers to the God-Emperor’s table....

Happy now? I’m not someone who’s ever been on board with the “Can You Pet The Dog?” craze that swept and/or still sweeps video games. As a heartless individual, I am more concerned with whatever the dog’s capable of: general savagery, a howl that replenishes my HP bar, letting me climb atop its glorious mane as it strides across the barren wastes. If it’s none of these things, I would much rather have a shiny turret on spindly steel legs skitter besides me....

Who’s that Tetramon? While I’ve been known to enjoy a few of them in my time, I tend to view a lot of more mundanesimulator gamesin the same way I view sports games: Looks fine, but I could do this stuff in real life, were I inclined and also social and also vaguely limber instead of owning a spine with roughly the flexibility of a rib n’ saucy Nik Nak....

Ruin has come to our family? Dead By Daylightdevelopers Behaviour Interactive have announced that they’re acquiring Red Hook, the creators ofDarkest Dungeon. This is the same Behaviour Interactive who recentlylaid off a bunch of people,cancelled a gameand closed a studio, Midwinter Entertainment, after bagging themselves a bunch of developers (the others are SockMonkey, Codeglue and Fly Studio) over the past two years.Darkest Dungeonis a horror game like DBD, so I guess the acquisition chimes from that perspective....

PVP dinosouls The in thing when it comes to dinosaur conversations now is this: “Yeah but did you know that they weren’t all like, lizardy, but covered in feathers”. You might want to chuck in that chickens are basically dinosaurs, because their feet have a “Triassic Flange”, a (made-up) term that will make you sound authoritative. If you really want to showcase your knowledge, though, you may want to mention that dinosaurs may have actually fought with large swords lodged between their teeth....

Vampyr and Life Is Strange devs looking at “all possible options” in note to investors To compensate for this, Don’t Nod are writing down the assets of Jusant and Banishers: Ghost of New Eden (i.e. lowering their value on company books, to match what the market says they’re worth) and making some sweeping changes to their line-up of games in development. They’re also “temporarily pausing two projects in the design phase in Paris”, codenamed P12 and P13, for a write-down of €7....

Slay the drier This one’s a very simple build at the moment, but neat enough that I wanted to shout it out. Near Mint is aroguelikedeckbuilder where you advance through a tower fighting slightly stronger iterations of the exact same skeleton. Ok, nothing too captivating so far. The twist comes from the cards: someone’s left them in their Oodie pouch, spilt BBQ sauce down it, then stuck it in the wash before taking the deck out....

Criminally good Shadows Of Doubt is not only a simulation of a fully working, sleeping, and murdering city, but also a simulation of the paperwork and footwork required to solve those murders. It generates a whole city and sends its countless citizens around on their day-to-day routines: work, home, the bar, a diner, the local arms dealer in a grotty basement. You know, normal stuff. As a result, it is complex, ambitious, sometimes broken, often funny, and limited by its own lofty goals....

Raziel did not survive the abyss, they have only spared him from total dissolution All this comes care ofResetera. My initial reaction to the screens is a hot blend of enthusiasm - because the first Soul Reaver is one of the most treasured games of my childhood - and revulsion - because they’ve properly given this one the Vaseline treatment, and turned all those gloriously grotty PS1 textures and contours into slick Bluepointy figurines that look clean enough to eat off....

Teer’d release Look out, it’s Spiders. It’s fun to write about Spiders, because you get to frighten people for a moment, before they realise you’re talking about the game development studio, Spiders. They have just releasedGreedFall 2: The Dying Landinto early access. For those who don’t remember the firstGreedFall, it was a colonial-styledRPGabout landing on the magical shores of another continent and getting into scrapes with monsters and frontiersfolk. This time the story is furthering the fantasy Columbian exchange by putting you in the role of a native who’s been uprooted against their will and taken to the “old world”....
