Read moreTowerborne Uses Deep Combat To Modernize The Side-Scrolling Brawler
Towerborne is a pretty drastic departure from the Banner Saga series, developer Stoic Studio’s impressive set of story-driven strategy games. But even with just a short look at it, it’s easy to see some of the familiar Stoic DNA in Towerborne. It carries a beautiful art style that recalls a hand-drawn aesthetic, similar to Banner Saga, and that gives it a powerful vibrancy.I played a short demo of Towerborne at Xbox’s recent Gamescom event in Los Angeles, which gave a very quick look at its moment-to-moment combat gameplay. Towerborne is a side-scrolling co-op action-RPG that takes its inspiration from beat-em-ups. There’s clearly a lot of inspiration being drawn from old-school arcade entries in the genre, but Towerborne separates itself through a combat system that includes a variety of …

Sorry, Alien: Romulus, The Best Alien Sequel Is Still Alien: Isolation
There’s something specific about Ridley Scott’s 1979 movie Alien that makes it such an enduring classic. With the combination of its heavy focus on relatable, blue-collar characters, its dingy, lived-in capitalist version of space travel, and its stalking, unknowably malevolent creature, it creates a feeling that other horror movies have chased and tried to replicate again and again across the decades since its release.The latest attempt to recapture what made Alien so viscerally, singularly frightening is Alien: Romulus, a sequel to that original movie. It does a better job than some of the Alien canon of at least creating scary moments with the universe’s greatest killing machine, but it relies on explosive, bombastic moments with H.R. Geiger’s xenomorph, much like the rest of the series…

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been delayed–yet again–to the first half of 2025, as developer The Chinese Room is aiming to spend the extra time polishing up the game and expanding on its story.”Though the game is in a good enough place that we could have maintained our planned release window, Paradox and The Chinese Room collaboratively decided to prioritize polish,” The Chinese Room said in a statement on its website. “It will be used to create a quality assurance buffer, giving more time between testing and launch, ensuring we release the game when it’s ready.
