One of the best shooters of 2022 just surprise dropped its first new level since launch
30.09.2023 - 19:49 / pcgamer.com / New / Best
As part of the Realms Deep 2023 showcase, 3D Realms has shown off the first post-early access launch addition to Cultic, an absolute steal of a shooter that PC Gamer contributor Dominic Tarason dubbed "2022's grungiest retro FPS."
Cultic might be the perfect October game: a retro shooter with a uniquely saturated, comic book look that's been dithered all to hell, with gameplay like a weird hybrid of Blood and Resident Evil 4. It was also already an amazing deal in early access at $10 for a 6-8 hour first episode, all with the promise of more on the way.
Well, more has finally arrived. Instead of a full-on second episode, developer Jason Smith has surprise launched an «Interlude,» a single-mission teaser of what's to come—and should that sound like small potatoes, each of Cultic's levels so far has been massive.
The Interlude looks like a testing ground for a number of new gameplay features Smith has teased over the past year, including riot shields and variant weapons. I'm most excited for the classico FPS magnum it looks like you can pick over the base game's «mare's leg» sawn off lever-action rifle.
The new Interlude level seems to be an urban area overtaken by the first episode's demon worshiping baddies, which makes for a nice contrast with the alpine wildernesses and ancient ruins we've seen so far. It's not quite what I expected to see on the other side of the hell portal you step through at the end of episode one, but I'm always down for more Cultic. You can take on the new Interlude level yourself, as well as Cultic's excellent first act, all on sale for just $8 during Realms Deep.

This new survival roguelike has everything I want: wizards, guns, co-op, killer art, and one of the best titles of the year
Wizard With a Gun gets automatic bonus points for having an amazing title, but the game is pretty darn cool too. It's a new survival roguelike from developer Galvanic Games, published by Devolver, and as a co-op action game with magic, guns, and beautifully drawn landscapes, it's perked my ears right up.

How The Disney Illusion Island Team Created One Of The Best Musical Scores Of The Year
Disney and developer Dlala Studios announced Disney Illusion Island in 2022, and it immediately shot up high on my list of games to play this year. It did so for several reasons – its beautifully realized visuals, top-notch voice acting, and, of course, the potential to play as some of my favorite characters in a Metroidvania-esque adventure. That wasn't all, though; The snippets of composer David Housden's score in the reveal trailer indicated this team was on to something.
