The protagonist of Dungeons of Hinterberg is at a crossroads in her life. Feeling burnt out by her big city job, Luisa travels to the easygoing town of Hinterberg, Austria, to check out the sights, cut loose in the social scene, and try her hand at monster slaying to score some sweet loot.

More than a quarter of a decade later and Jennifer Love-Hewitt could be back in an cast.

It's been a long time since something grabbed me as hard and as overwhelmingly as . In my university years, I would schedule alarms for 6 a.m. wake-up calls — not to ensure I made it to class, but to maximize the amount of time I had available to grind reputation requirements in. After things at school got more time-intensive and other responsibilities took over, I gradually drifted away from, entirely missing and along the way.

is not another iterative sequel, but a detailed overhaul of the foundation which made the original game so relentlessly bleak and mechanically challenging. As a distressing choice-driven adventure game masquerading as a city-builder/survival experience, 11 Bit Studios’ tumbled genre expectations on release, tasking players with the construction, maintenance, and expansion of an increasingly complicated urban stronghold in the dead of a volcanic winter., for better and possibly for worse, amplifies the original’s thesis while discarding a few vestigial aspects; frankly, this is the epitome of a divisive sequel.

Double strikes, creative pauses, and slow-growing theater returns have made 2024 a quiet summer in entertainment — but that doesn’t mean it’s a sleepy one. Quite the opposite!

The WWDC event is just a few days away and with each day passing, the anticipation about Apple's AI move is creating much curiosity. So far, it was revealed that Apple has signed a deal with OpenAI. However, it is still eyeing Google's Gemini model.

Don’t call a “game about clones,” because that’s selling it short. The new upcoming release by 11 Bit Studios presents a fresh-feeling and mesmerizing sci-fi adventure, complete with top-notch atmospheric visuals and a magnificent soundtrack that could end up on best-of lists. While certain individual components of will seem immediately familiar – there's a little, Duncan Jones’s, maybe a touch of – it's safe to say that they've never been merged together like this before, or leveraged to tell a story that veers between shuffling discomfort, thrilling exploration, and emotional candor.

The odds are that I would never play from a thematic standpoint, but that same theme is exactly what made me fall in love with it. The 2015 hit title by FromSoftware, designed exclusively for PlayStation 4 consoles, is a fan-favorite among soulslike players and a lot of it is due to its unique gameplay. While still a soulslike game, the title set in Yharnam has a remarkable trick weapon system that allows players to, essentially, wield two distinct weapons in a single slot, and alternate between them seamlessly.

The Alters is a video game developed and published by 11 bit studios. A large part of this team also created the outstanding This War of Mine. That is the extent of what I knew about The Alters, going into my time recently spent in Warsaw with the studio, and it was honestly all I needed to know. From the Anomaly games to This War of Mine and Frostpunk, 11 Bit Studios is a developer I trust (also as a publisher, following titles like Moonlighter, Children of Morta and The Invincible), so my recent hands-on time with The Alters and the story mode of Frostpunk 2 (preview of the earlier beta here) offered an opportunity to see if that trust would remain after an early look.
