Saturnalia, the acclaimed — and previously Epic Games Store-exclusive — survival horror from MirrorMoon EP developer Santa Ragione, is coming to Steam on 8th November.
Beautiful, creepy shooter hits Steam to 96% positive reviews: "Max Payne meets Doom meets PS1 nostalgia"
03.10.2023 - 23:03 / gamesradar.com
An indie shooter called El Paso, Elsewhere is making waves on Steam with some gorgeous retro aesthetics and a blend of Max Payne-style action and vampire-fueled supernatural horror.
El Paso, Elsewhere wears its Max Payne inspirations on its sleeve, with a trench-coated, noir-soaked main character issuing gravelly laments as he jumps sideways and fires guns in slow motion. The twist is that this one's all about supernatural foes, like vampires, werewolves, and fallen angels. You fight your way through a motel that's not just haunted - it's breaking the bounds of reality.
It's gotten an excellent reception on Steam, where user reviews have been 96% positive. Here's one that particularly sold me: "Max Payne meets Doom 95 meets PS1 nostalgia graphics meets vampire lore meets heartbreak meets addiction meets the parents. It's fast, poetic, deeply silly and strange. It cuts just about every bit of fat off the bullet dodge mechanic and just keeps punching you with levels."
Developer Strange Scaffold is known for taking some wild swings, like the appropriately named An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs or the time its studio head goofed "too close to the sun" and got Sunshine Shuffle temporarily barred by Nintendo for joking about teaching kids to gamble. With all that in mind, 'Max Payne but vampires' seems like a downright sensible pitch.
The series that inspired El Paso, Elsewhere isn't dead, as Remedy is working on a proper remake combining Max Payne 1 and 2. The real question remains, however: what is Max Payne's next-generation face going to look like?

This Flash puzzle games collection is holding a strong 99% positive review on Steam
Adobe Flash is, of course, dead. It was deprecated back in 2021, putting a scruffy little bow on this particular niche of PC gaming. Line Rider, Happy Wheels, and Bloons all started their careers via Flash, and while some of these games do make a return every so often, as the upcoming Alien Hominid remaster, they’ve certainly fallen out of favour with the younger crowd.

Yellow Taxi Goes Boom Demo Hits Steam Next Fest - Hardcore Gamer
Steam Next Fest is upon us and with it comes the celebratory discovery of games you might otherwise miss. Next Fest has been very much a modern-day revival of what we used to have in the days of the Xbox Live Arcade on the 360 where you had big demo events for indie games and could try out as many games as your hard drive could hold. Now, we have a blend of bigger-name games in the fold too, but some games get front and center listings thanks to the genre separation that helps their exposure and one such game is Yellow Taxi Goes Boom – which has a demo available now. It’s an interesting blend of driving, platforming, and collect-a-thon that blends a few different ingredients together to form an interesting stew.
