I'm not sure what to make of Yar's Rising. That trailer didn't really give a whole lot of information. I do like the idea of revisiting Yar's Revenge though, and WayForward has a lot more hits than misses. There's definitely no other company I'd rather have working on a vintage Atari IP. So I'm optimistic.

It's an odd one. It's not for me  but I hope it turns out okay.

Yeah, interesting choice for a game to revisit indeed. Played the hell out of the original on the Atari 2600 back in the day. Am curious to see how this one turns out.

Thanks.

Guys try the Anton Blast demo, I had zero expectations but it's awesome.

It's like wario on steroids, it's got this gnarly 90s vibe as you smash your way around the stage. It's great for speed runners, but equally fun for those who want to take things at their own pace.

Why not? I think it would be a smart move at this point:

Harold Halibut review sub-aquatic sci-fi adventure is a little too prog-rock

Has anyone been following this?  It's a game that's been fully created with photogrammetry, or stop-motion for those with a penchant for more autological wordings.  It's been compared to Aardman's style and Wes Anderson movies.

You play as someone who lives in a closed communicty, namely a sunken spaceship on an alien planet.  There's some sort of emergency looming over the horizon, but you're not the heroic one man army that can stop it, or the scientist that has to come up with a solution.  You're just someone who delivers messages to the people who can actually make a difference.  And that's all that's to the game.  Fetch quests linked by exposure and cinematics.  It's a 12 hour bore.

The Eurogamer reviewer assumes that this is a deliberate choice by the developer.  If so, what do you think of this?  Is it genius or plain stupid?  Would you be open to this unique experience that is unapologetically boring?  Does this classify it as being art and if so, what does it mean if art willfully waists so much of your time?  ...

I believe I've been aware of it as an amazing looking adventure game for a while now. I've not read up on it at all, but I was looking forward to it.

Square says no. I'm surprised Hearthstone has never been released on consoles, especially on the Switch. Wow is so old at this point I'm not sure if it's new player friendly these days.

It’s available on Game Pass so I might give it a try myself.
