Sword of the Sea fuses Journey with Tony Hawk to make a pro skater game that feels as good as it looks

1 week ago | pcgamer.com | Andrea Shearon

At Summer Game Fest, I spent half an hour cruising through desolate dunes and restoring ancient ocean life in Sword of the Sea. As the Wraith—the game's hoversword-riding magical hero—you're given little guidance about what to do or why, but the pieces of the puzzle are in its surroundings, communicating how this sandy, barren land was once an ocean, and my ethereal little surfer is powerful enough to fix it. Part of the fun in Sword of the Sea was my mood-based button mashing.
Game of Thrones RTS has a dragon R&D team dedicated to answering burning questions like 'do the dragons explode when they die?'

1 week ago | pcgamer.com | Andrea Shearon

HBO's first Game of Thrones series didn't feature nearly enough dragon scenes, if you ask me. My favorite mythical beasties mostly showed up for a passing greeting or to die within seconds, but it sounds like that's a problem PlaySide's upcoming RTS, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, could remedy. "The dragons have been a big focus for us," game director Ryan McMahon told me during a Summer Game Fest interview. "We've actually got a bit of an R&D team specifically for dragons.

Game of Thrones: War For Westeros cinematic trailer preview of one of the dragons, it's flying over head in the dark and lighting up ground units. HBO's first Game of Thrones series didn't feature nearly enough dragon scenes, if you ask me. My favorite mythical beasties mostly showed up for a passing greeting or to die within seconds, but it sounds like that's a problem PlaySide's upcoming RTS, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, could remedy.
'It didn't exist and I wanted to play it': Phasmophobia's lead dev got tired of trawling around Steam for a co-op horror puzzle game so decided to just make it himself

1 week ago | pcgamer.com | Elie Gould |Andrea Shearon

When Larian Studios' CEO Swen Vincke took the stage at The Game Awards to present Game of the Year he also relayed a bit of advice to other studios: Make a game that you want to play yourself, and your game will do well. Something that Daniel Knight, CEO of Kinetic Games and lead developer, did years ago with Phasmophobia. "I don't think there's any main inspiration [for Phasmophobia]," Knight says in an interview with Andrea Shearon at Summer Game Fest.
Out of Words features one of the cutest videogame characters I've ever seen, but there's a tinge of Kafkaesque darkness to it, too

After yapping about nothing but videogames for three days at Summer Game Fest, I tried my best to talk about anything else, but I just couldn't stop bringing up Out of Words. It's a sidescrolling tale of young love brought to life by a charming handicraft world and striking stop-motion animation.
'I don't actually play horror games': Phasmophobia's lead developer had no intention of making a horror game but still kicked off a whole new genre

2 weeks ago | pcgamer.com | Elie Gould |Andrea Shearon

I'll never forget the first time my friends and I played Phasmophobia. It was like nothing I'd ever played before, absolutely hilarious, and surprisingly terrifying—it still is. So it's rather funny to me that not only does Phasmo's creator not really play horror games but he didn't intend to make one either. "I failed to make a co-op puzzle game," director and lead developer Daniel Knight told my colleague Andrea Shearon during an interview at Summer Game Fest. "Or a co-op puzzle horror game.
I've played my share of cozy games, and Tales of the Shire is definitely one for the maximalist decorators

I love clutter. Just tons and tons of crap stacked precariously on a shelf—all of it mismatched, sorted into asymmetrical piles, and serving no clear purpose. I like homes that look lived in. Clean, but not sanitized of personality. That's why I dig the hobbit design philosophy (or lack thereof), and have kept my eye on Tales of the Shire since its 2024 reveal.
