Exciting game releases have come in thick and fast throughout 2019 and the pace will ramp up as we edge closer to the Christmas trading period. E3 is now in.
What Remains of Edith Finch
Edith Finch offers a rambling mansion designed with the intricacy and engineering flair of a pop-up book and tells the story of a doomed family through the stories and objects they left behind. Exhilarating, romantic, funny and devastating, this is an astonishing reminder of the power of games.
Sea of Thieves
Every pirate cliché stuck in a single game? It works because pirate clichés are wonderful things, and because Rare is that unusual developer that s confident in its own silliness while humble enough to listen to feedback.
What launched as a bit of a curio - Eve Online at sea and with a sense of humour - has blossomed into a wonderfully generous open-seas swashbuckler, filled with creaking boats, clattering skeletons, and a sense of mystery that settles around some occasionally rather sparse systems. A delight.
