I wasn’t expecting Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion to be remastered. While Nightdive Studios updated and rereleased the PC versions of the first two games, there wasn’t a PC version of Turok 3. They didn’t have the source files, so they had to reverse-engineer the N64 version and port it over to their proprietary KEX Engine.

It’s the holiday season, and for a lot of gamers, that means one thing: Family. For better or for worse, now’s the time of the year when lots of us are going to be with our nearest and dearest, whether that be blood relations or family of choice. If you’re a gamer and want to gift yourself a title that will give you something to do with your familial partner-in-crime, or if you know a gamer who has friends, these are the 2023 titles that would make the best gifts.
To keep things simple, we’ll focus on games that came out in 2023 — goodness knows there were enough of them. If we got for all co-op games ever, we’d have to cover classics like It Takes Two, Stardew Valley or Left 4 Dead. As fun as that is, we’d be here all day (though we will cover some of them in the bonus section). The games on this list is are those that have come out since the beginning of the year, and can be enjoyed by two or more people.
Normal price: $50 on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store
Gunfire Games’s action RPG, Remnant II, is one of the most accessible co-op games for parties of up to three people. It’s a third-person shooter in which the players must choose a class and then proceed through procedurally generated levels, up to and including fights with terrifying boss monsters. The game offers many different environments and worlds for a party to explore.

While Remnant II can be played solo, playing in groups of three evens the players’ odds against the hordes of randomly generated enemies. Since the story and quests are also random, the game has a level of replayability that may be lacking in other titles on this list.
Normal price: $20 (on Steam; included with Xbox Game Pass)
Sometimes group game time doesn’t need to be that serious. Sometimes you want to have a little player vs player action — perhaps to settle personal scores, or just to prove a point. In Party Animals, each player is an adorable animal, as the name suggests. They must battle physics, the environment and each other in multiple different game modes.
Players in Party Animals can either work together or against each other to accomplish goals, though the former is significantly more likely than the latter. If you’re a social gamer who needs chaos in their life (or you know a social gamer who does), Party Animals is a choice pick for unleashing precisely that on friends and family.
Normal price: $70 for the Standard Edition on

The Day Before Debuts to Dismal Steam Reviews as it isn’t the MMO that was Promised
The saga of The Day Before has been quite a wild and winding tale. One, it seems, without a happy ending. Originally revealed back in 2021, developer Fntastic promised an ambitious open-world looter-shooter zombie MMO along the lines of something like The Division and impressive early “gameplay” trailers earned the project a large following on Steam. Then the delays came, with Fntastic sometimes offering odd excuses for why the game had to be pushed back, including unexplained trademark issues (an explanation they later walked back). Fans also began to pick apart the gameplay showcases we’d seen, accusing them of being mere mockups and not representative of an actual game.
