Running scared? As we reported earlier this week, alongsideThe Sims 4officially becoming a free-to-play game, Maxis also gavea sneak peek of Project Rene, the next incarnation of the Sims franchise. We’re all calling itThe Sims5, but the vagueness of the reveal means it could be some kind of… platform? MMO?

Rock and stone Deep Rock Galacticis a game about going to work, assuming your job is to extract space minerals from a shattered planet occupied by trillions of giant, murderous bugs. If it isn’t, it’s not too hard to pretend, and DRG’s another-day-at-the-office wit lends it a likeable levity that’s partly why I’ve played it almost every week for a year and a half.
