Pick your favourite Greek god and build a metropolis in their name in the strategy city-builder Theos: Cities of Myth

Fancy devoting your entire existence to the whims and desires of a variety of Greek gods? Sure you do! At least in the safety of your digital blanket that is your Steam library. To do such a thing, you'll be wanting to check out Theos: Cities Of Myth, an upcoming city-builder where you do just that, all in service of pleasing those fickle deities. Read more

Turn-based RPG Entropy offers up a world abandoned by the gods that looks like a PS1 game fished from a toilet

An hour into Entropy, the new turn-based RPG from Dread Delusion studio Lovely Hellplace, I stumbled on three randos frenziedly interrogating a severed head. In theory, the head belonged to a demon, one of the hellspawn who had recently laid the realm to waste, but the bystanders seemed… ambiguous on this front. I wasn't really in a position to judge: by this point in the demo, my party had already hacked a number of arms off, and in any case, many of Entropy's demons are rogue body par

Marathon season 2 kicks off with a "PvP-lite" mode that sounds more like a sidestep for those after PvE

Marathon season 2 kicks off today, acting as a fresh start for every single person who's played so far with its complete wipe of all gear. For this first week of the season, it's also going to be free-to-play for anyone, clearly a big plea for those that haven't yet tried it out to give it a fair shake. To do that, Bungie will be doing their first test that eases up on the challenge by offering a "PvP-lite" mode called Sponsored Survival. Read more

Silver Pines is a rotoscoped side-scrolling survival horror game that splices Silent Hill with Flashback, and it's out on October 8th

Set in a town that's equal parts Silent Hill and Twin Peaks, Silver Pines puts you into the gumshoes of private investigator Red Walker as he tracks down missing musician Eddie Velvet. The investigation hits a slight hiccup when ravenous monsters that want to eat your flesh down to the bones start to impede your enquiries. We've known about the sidescrolling metroidvania for a while, but it's now got a Steam demo you can play and a release date you can hunger for. October 8th, the creepiest 8th

"What the f*** do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?" Gabe Newell reportedly once shouted at one of Valve's Lionel Hutzes during Steam porn debate

Valve boss Gabe Newell reportedly once yelled "What the f*** do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?" at the company's general counsel Karl Quackenbush during a debate over allowing pornographic media on Steam. Quackenbush is claimed to have been arguing in favour of more stringent content moderation on the platform. Read more

Time to Wake Up is an eye-catching puzzle adventure where your surroundings shift with every blink

I am intrigued by Farsight, a nervy (if trendily) liminal space explorer announced at Not E3’s Horror Game Awards Showcase. It tugs on a fear I’ve never had, but will probably start thinking about at every future Specsavers visit: being dragged into that distant red-roofed house shown in optometry exams, and hunted by the spooks within. However, I’ve also recently been made aware of another first-person, eye-related psychological indie thriller, Time to Wake Up. And, well, thi

Mym's Sword is a delightfully ominous Zelda-style action platformer with magic rings and knife-wielding raccoons

In curious Zelda-flavoured action-platformer Mym's Sword, you are a blue dog who fell through a cavern roof into a temple containing a magic sword. The dog's name is Nora. Who is Mym, then? Possibly some kind of ancient evil, which you are on a quest to awaken, "for better or worse". To unlock the sword's secrets, you'll need to visit three twisty ruins, scattered across five areas comprising around 300 single screen rooms. There are also magic rings that confer boosts such as greater odds of a
