Blasphemous 2 is Out Now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Nintendo Switch

PS5 sales in the UK have jumped 60% year-to-date while sales of both Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch are down compared to last year.

Today, cozy farm Sim Fae Farm launches on PC and Nintendo Switch. The second game from Dauntless dev Phoenix Labs blends mechanics like growing and harvesting crops, raising farm animals, and catching animals with magic, narrative elements, and an island to explore.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series has received its fourth and penultimate episode, which sees protagonist Camina Drummer in dire straits. The Artemis’s crew have mutinied, leaving her on a strange space station. She must now find a way to escape through any means necessary. Check out the launch trailer for Episode 4: Lady Paramount below.

Early access action RPG Last Epoch has just received update 0.9.2, which adds a new class of mage called the Runemaster. The Runemaster has five new spells they can use to tear through the game's monsters, and each spell can be customised via its own skill tree.

I don't have any firsthand insight to share on Void Stranger, which surprise-released on Friday, but when I read words like "forgotten labyrinth" and "traps that defy reason", I find myself reaching for my pen and inkwell, and when I encounter visuals that remind of the nastier Zelda dungeons on Game Boy, I start vibrating gently in my chair, and when I see monochrome anime story scenes set to howling guitar and fuzzy chip tunes - well, here we are.

This year’s seen no shortage of blockbuster releases. And still, I can always count on a new project coming along and immediately grabbing me out of nowhere. That’s what Holstin did, both with its general concept and then in-game, as I fled zombies in the demo of this perspective-swapping survival horror.

Appropriately for third-person shooters featuring icky electric zombies, Invader's Daymare series has crept up on me. The second game, Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle, launches today. It casts you as Dalila Reyes, a special agent of Hexacore Advanced Division for Extraction and Search, aka H.A.D.E.S., and - wait a minute, I know this vibe! That annoying acronym? The washed-out, cadaver-on-concrete set dressing? The gimmicky ice-gun and scanner mode puzzles? The not-so-subtle undertones of Monolith and Midway? Characters with big glowy gadgets on their backs, so you can track them through poorly-lit warehouses?

Larian Studios has released the first major update for Baldur’s Gate 3.

There are a lot of brutal action-platformers, but Blasphemous set itself apart with its pointy-helmeted protagonist and gory Catholic imagery. The sequel, Blashphemous 2, again puts you inside the barbed traffic cone of The Penitent One, this time in a new, no-less-grotesque world. It's out now.
