These days, when a game launches, that’s never the end of the story. We reviewed Lords Of The Fallen back in October 2023, and were impressed with its style, visuals, and combat, giving it a healthy 8 out of 10, but since then we’ve been sleeping the sleep of the dead, with no Umbral Lamp to revive us.

Running a mascot agency is a tough gig. There’s plenty to think about, more-so than I ever imagined before and as such, I have a feeling I’m happy to be a few degrees of separation away from the reality of its demands. Still, playing my part in bringing joy to anthropomorphic thumbs whilst providing them a living wage is what video games is all about, and Promise Mascot Agency provides me with this opportunity.

Augmented Empire sets its futuristic-yet-dingy stall out very early. The year is 2058, the city is New Savannah and you are Willa, the daughter of a rebellious mother and a subservient father. Futuristic visuals are melded with XCOM-lite tactical battles and a healthy dose of exploration in small map spaces. Certainly a compelling jumping off point, to say the least. Is this divided and corrupted city worth taking up arms to save, or should it be left to fester in its squalor and decay?

Alternate histories and giant mechanical behemoths go hand-in-hand like cheese and marmite. Starting off strong with that comparison (yes, I love cheese and marmite, I’ll die on this hill). Grit and Valor – 1949 takes the Wolfenstein approach of reimagining the outcome of World War Two, where instead of the allies marching out triumphant, German forces seized all of the UK and Europe with mechanized might.

Remember Journey? Of course you do. At this point, it’s as ubiquitous in the video game space as a Call of Duty or FIFA. Well, relatively speaking, of course. Studio Tolima have taken all the hallmarks of that 2012 indie classic and reimagined it to focus on the environment, plight of animal life, and an adorable pup companion. Its nose quite literally lights up the way – what more needs to be said?

Few games succeed in challenging expectations. There’s an inherent patience asked of the player to sit with something perplexing, and for Centum, this is a big ask. On the surface, the game is a point-and-click adventure meets an escape room. However, it tries to deliver way more than just a comparable point-and-click, as the game strives to subvert how we look at AI, life and the medium of games.

Trails Through Daybreak II has been out just over a month and true to form, that means Falcom need to throw their next game at you. Trails Beyond The Horizon. Most of us have barely finished the last one before a new trailer hits your eyeballs, spoiling everything. If you haven’t finished Daybreak II, fair warning, maybe don’t watch the trailer below, but for everyone else, feast your eyes.

Memory is a funny old thing. One moment you can recall an event with almost perfect clarity, then all of a sudden without realising, the details go fuzzy, the structure doesn’t line up, and we claw at the previous ability we had to remember it. KARMA: The Dark World is a first-person psychological horror game that absorbs itself in the endless possibility of memories. In a world where people can re-live the past events of others, almost nothing is off limits.
