Why Rayman Legends is getting a remake, instead of an older game

Ubisoft reveals why it decided to revive Rayman by remaking the most recent game in the series, rather than starting from the first one.

Copy animals' movements to turn into them, or fuse them to travel further in Mimic Meadows

I want you to look me dead in the eyes and tell me you've never copied the way an animal moves in your life. Just try to, I'll know you're lying. I know you've hopped like a frog, flapped your arms like a bird, ran on all fours like a dog. It's fun! How about a video game where you sort of do the same thing? Well, I've got one in my pouch called Mimic Meadows, a puzzle game in which you copy the movement of animals to transform into them. Read more

Dungeon Lurker's crunchy, grimey pixel art hides a metatextual secret beneath its roguelike, dungeon crawling veneers

Dungeon crawlers conceptually appeal to me as a genre, but I've never quite found one that I've entirely clicked with. I'm talking oldschool dungeon crawlers here, where you take each step as it comes. I want to crawl some dungeons! Perhaps just not like that. Hopefully, Dungeon Lurker, with its crunchy dark fantasy pixel art and muddy, deep sound effects, will be able to make the difference. Read more

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

Rayman Legends was a timeless 2D platformer with beautiful art, but I'll grudgingly admit that its remake is an improvement

In my memory, Rayman Legends is a timeless classic. Released in 2013, it arrived at a moment when Ubisoft were becoming best known for po-faced games like Assassin's Creed and innumerable Tom Clancy spinoffs, yet Rayman Legends was a gorgeous 2D platformer brimming over with silliness and slapstick that showed off the publisher's creative talents and uniquely French humour. So the news that Ubisoft is remaking it as Rayman Legends Retold, dropping its 2D art for 3D animation was not well received in the Benson household, I can tell you. Read more

Silent Hill: Townfall wants you to "fear the truth behind the static" when it arrives in September

Here's the thing. When Konami announced that Silent Hill was making a comeback with not only a remake of its most beloved entry, but two new games from different studios, I felt quite curmudgeonly about it. I still do about that Silent Hill 2 remake, to be honest. Unfortunately, I thought that Silent Hill f was actually quite good, so good that here I am almost a year later still thinking about it. All of this is to say that hearing Silent Hill: Townfall, the slightly Scottish take on the series, now has a release date is just that little bit tantalising. Read more

"They have the biggest bullsh*t detectors on the planet": How the unlikely EVE Online x Google DeepMind AI partnership landed with players

The impact of generative AI upon PC gaming has proven controversial, which is my balanced journalist way of saying it’s been horrible. Players are widely repulsed by genAI material, developers and even some publishers are increasingly wary of its temptations, and in a rush to build the requisite infrastructure, component shortages have ravaged the hardware market. Nonetheless, EVE Online devs Fenris Creations – formerly CCP Games – have become dead keen on robot brains, and what they might be might be able to think up for EVE itself. Earlier this month, a newly independent Fenris announced a "research partnership" with Google DeepMind, the search giant’s AI research division, that would see DeepMind take a minority stake in the company while training its AI agents on a separate, offline version of the longstanding space MMO. Days later, Fenris CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson sat onstage with DeepMind co-founder Adrian Bolton at the annual EVE FanFest conference to discuss the partnership, in a presentation that left the concrete plans of what it means for EVE still broadly vague – yet seemingly against the run of wider sentiment, escaped any significant backlash from the game’s historically outspoken playerbase.

After a week of playing on nothing but Panther Lake laptops, it's safe to say that Intel has its gaming mojo back

Intel have had a bit of a wild ride as of late. In many ways, the past two years have been some of the roughest in the company's history: a massive, multi-billion dollar quarterly loss back in 2024 was enough to cost then-Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger his job, and their flagship Core Ultra 200S desktop chips have fallen flat in games, ceding even more ground to archrival AMD. There are still some bright spots, however. After the relative success of Intel's Lunar Lake laptop processors in 2024, their successor family of Panther Lake CPUs - or to use the official name, Core Ultra Series 3 - is being heaped with praise from nearly all quarters. Not least thanks to the integrated Arc B390 GPU, which on paper, promises the same gaming power as a discrete Nvidia RTX 4050. Having a few of these laptops on hand, I decided to test Panther Lake's chops for myself by spending a full week with them as my everyday games machines. Read more

The Sunday Papers

Sundays are for stumbling upon a ruined church, squirrelled away among the hawthorns behind a currently active church in the neighbourhood. I was flabbergasted – I've walked past that churchyard a thousand times without noticing. In this case, I just happened to take a different route around the cemetery. The old church is roofless and barred, but I managed to thrust my phone through a grill and take pictures of a peaked mausoleum, squat in the middle of the transept crossing, together with the coruscating beehive thumbed into the arch of one window. Magic. Anyway, here are some articles about mostly videogames. Read more

What are we all playing this weekend?

This weekend, I’m going to a not particularly good football stadium to watch assorted famous people play not particularly good football. No, not the average [team you don’t like] match, but Soccer Aid. Why isn’t there a Games Aid, huh? Oh, there is. And they do great work, from the looks of it. Maybe one day we’ll use our own games-playing powers for good, but for now, it's just the following: Read more

Feature: It's Tough Out There, So Check Out These Amazing Websites

...and YouTube channels, and podcasts, and physical magazines... I'm sure it hasn't escaped your attention that the internet is in a pretty grim spot at present. Media sites are either getting gobbled up by massive conglomerates or closed down (or both), GenAI is filling the web with clanker-made slop, and social media is literally addicting people to doom-scrolling.

Random Game Saturday: Shining The Holy Ark (Sega Saturn)

Holy smokes. I've already written about the amazing impact Shining in the Darkness had on me as a young gamer; a Japanese fusion of Dungeon Master and Dragon Quest, it really opened up my eyes to the allure of the first-person turn-based JRPG – so I was actually somewhat dismayed when the follow-up, Shining Force, adopted a different approach. Don't get me wrong, I adore Shining Force, but when I saw reports in the mid-'90s that the franchise was returning to its first-person roots with Shining The Holy Ark, I could barely contain my excitement.
