Fallout 4 launched its long-awaited next-gen update last month, but it went down about as well as a nuke in Boston. Not only did it break most mods, players immediately ran into a slew of old bugs.

You might assume that Indika will be dour, given that it's a story-driven game about a nun in a grey, cold, alternative Russia. Then you watch its trailers and find surrealist imagery, genre-hopping, and a bleak sense of humour are part of its arsenal, and suddenly it seems, to me, irresistible.
It's out now.
I love this trailer, and several of its previous trailers. Well done, trailer editor.
Edwin spoke to the co-founder of developer Odd Meter, Dmitry Setlov, late last year, who explicitly described Indika as "boring", even as it's shot through with what Edwin described as phantasmagorical flourishes.
I know, I know - in what week is there not the release of a grotesque, photoreal, third-person nunlike inspired by the works of "Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Pasternak"? EA have annualised their entry in the genre. And yet I felt it was my duty to alert you that this one specifically has been released.
You'll find Indika on Steam for £18.89/€22.49/$22.49.

Usually, when I recommend a game, I try to give as comprehensive an overview of it as I can. I know that it’s hard to get players to commit time and money to something sight unseen. But with Indika, I’m tempted to say nothing at all. It’s something you should experience for yourself. If that’s enough to intrigue you, you can stop reading here and head on over to Steam.
For a seemingly dour art game excoriating religion, is pretty funny. With its publishing duties handled by 11 bit studios, the small team at the now-Kazakhstan-based studio Odd Meter have devised a discomfiting surrealist dirge of an adventure game, one which matches exquisite moments and inventive visuals with jagged third-person exploration controls. Centered on a nun within the Russian Orthodox Church of the late 19th century, presents a bleak tale stuffed with black humor. Amid the developing political reality surrounding Russia in the present day, the quest feels poignant, even while much of its messaging relies on subjective interpretation.
Todd Howard has said Bethesda is working on solutions to shorten the length of time between its game releases.
Escape from Tarkov, arguably the game that popularized the extraction shooter genre, recently got itself embroiled in a huge controversy once again.
New week, new videogames! When will it end, etc. There aren't many obvious headliners out in the next few days, but there are a lot of tantalisingly bleak games. Let's see here, we've got a survival shooter that's essentially set in Black Mesa, a sardonical adventure about questing Russian Orthodox nuns, a game about running the company that starts the zombie apocalypse, and a cosy village grower with an atypical emphasis on disease and death. Lovely!
