There are games that entertain you, and then there are games that ask you to think. Dreams of Another, from Q-Games Ltd.—the studio behind The Tomorrow Children and the PixelJunk series—is one of the latter. It’s not just a game, but a surreal art piece wrapped in digital form, a lucid dream you inhabit rather than play. Built on the studio’s cutting-edge point cloud rendering technology, this third-person exploration-action experience embodies its central philosophical idea: “No Creation Without Destruction.” Every pull of the trigger is an act of genesis, every bullet brings something new into existence. It’s a paradox, a…

Painkiller is back and bloodier than ever. Developed by Anshar Studios and published by 3D Realms, this reimagining of the cult-classic shooter sends players straight into the depths of Purgatory — a nightmarish battleground of infernal monsters, brutal firepower, and redemption through destruction. Launching October 21, 2025, Painkiller rises again with a modern twist: three-player co-op, an expanded arsenal of classic and new weapons, and enough demonic gore to fill the Styx River twice over. 🎥 Watch the Gameplay Trailer: https://youtu.be/16mJESrKo6A?si=nlLMU0yOqJm27FKp ⚖️ Condemned. Redeemed. Reloaded. In Painkiller, you are one of Heaven’s condemned — a sinner chosen by the Voice…

The Alien franchise has always walked a razor’s edge between action and terror. Some entries leaned too hard into shooting galleries, while others, like Alien: Isolation, doubled down on pure dread. Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition finds a middle ground. It’s not just another bug hunt, nor is it a walking simulator of perpetual fear. Instead, it’s a deliberate blend of survival horror, methodical exploration, and moments of white-knuckle combat that actually feel like they belong in the Alien universe. This is Survios’ expanded PC version of their original VR title, rebuilt with higher-end visuals, new quality-of-life tweaks, and a…

There’s a special kind of tension when every pull of a lever could decide your fate. In CloverPit, developer Panik Arcade leverages that tension to create the entire experience. This isn’t Vegas glitz or casino comfort—this is survival horror wrapped around a slot machine, a rogue-lite where the jackpot might save you… or bury you deeper in debt. Released September 26, 2025, and published by Future Friends Games, CloverPit. And after countless runs, rage quits, and desperate attempts at freedom, it’s easy to see why this hellish hybrid of luck and strategy feels like both punishment and compulsion in equal…

Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile is one of the most iconic murder mysteries ever written, and now it’s making a return in game form — but with a twist. Developed by Microids Studio Lyon and published by Microids, this new adaptation isn’t just a straight retelling of Christie’s 1937 novel. Instead, it shifts the story into the vibrant 1970s, introduces a second protagonist alongside Hercule Poirot, and crafts a fresh detective adventure filled with puzzles, deductions, and dramatic confrontations. It’s a bold take on a beloved classic, one that might raise eyebrows among purists, but it works surprisingly well.…

Indie horror has long thrived on atmosphere, simplicity, and bold ideas that bigger studios rarely risk. Blood Bear, the debut release from Rabid Rodent Games, fits neatly into that tradition—an unnerving survival horror experience that drops you in a cursed state park, hands you a flashlight, a journal, and a looming sense of dread. On the surface, it’s short—about two hours to beat—but don’t let the runtime fool you. This is one of those games where the experience sticks with you far longer than the clock might suggest. It’s moody, creepy, and often surprisingly cinematic. For a project created by…
