The one question I sat with the longest while playing GravHounds was… Why Dogs. It started as a curiosity, and then ended up spiralling in to a grand philosophical thought process. Was there a deeper meaning to the dogs. Did they represent the inner strength we have inside us. That fight? I’m sure there’s an answer buried deep somewhere, or just a single email line to the devs away, but for now you’ll have to ask yourself a harder question. Who is the goodest boy.

Soulframe Devstream #’18 today revealed a host of upcoming news about Soulframe Preludes 17: Verse of the Veilands, and brings huge news that Soulframe is moving to “Open Preludes” which means that a key is no longer required and anyone can hop in from November 6th by just going to the website and signing up. The biggest news coming with Verse of the Veilands is that your cute cub pet that you’ve been looking after can now be turned in to a full on mount.

There has never been a better time to be a One Piece fan with the amount of focus on the monolithic franchise. Of course that doesn’t mean that everything is going to be gold worth plundering. It does mean though that there are a ton of different options of different scales to scratch that itch. ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet brings a Straw Hat coat of paint to the beloved Kairosoft gameplay. This time in the form of running a brand new restaurant to take on a fake Baratie that has sprung up.

If there’s one genre in gaming that everyone can agree on it’s Souls-Likes. The happy death day to you meat grinder simulators that enable you to throw yourself in to a fight ad nauseum until you’ve honed yourself down in to the perfect parry machine, only to then fall off a cliff a moment later. Soulslike games are always trying to iterate and expand upon the concept, and Valor Mortis is no different.

Inside all of us are two wolves. The first wolf is an aged curmudgeon complaining. The second is just listening to caramelldansen on repeat and thinking things are kinda fun. After 15 hours spent inside the world of Hellraiser I’m still not sure exactly which one of those two wolves is right. Duality plays an important role throughout Clive Barker’s Hellraiser Revival.

Forever Ago is a game about dealing with sensitive subject’s like grief. The game moves through a very personal and emotional journey. Be sure you are in a strong emotional state before embarking on this journey. Many of us take trips down memory lane now and then, and Albert is no different. He is on a journey and is being guided by a beautifully illustrated journal holding notes of the past.

I had a neat little intro written here about 90s nostalgia and the through line from Star Wars Episode 1 Racer to Star Wars: Galactic Racer, but instead I’m going to share a weird fact with you. Did you know Star Wars Episode 1 Racer holds/held a Guinness World Record? Neither did I until about 10 minutes before writing this. Best Selling Sci-Fi Racing Game. Which tells me three things. Firstly that we are overdue a new Wipeout Game.
