Ok, first things first: the new Prey from Arkane Studios is nothing like the certain legendary 2011 E3 trailer. But you already knew that. What you didn’t know is that, as a shining example of “different doesn’t mean worse”, it seems to be more than able to hold its ground as a video game. With the materials provided at this year’s gamescom, we learned who our enemy is, what they can do, and why you should never ever trust a trashcan, or anything inanimate for that matter. At least I know I never will, unless I become one.

Metroid prepared a new package of screenshots from Syberia 3, the long-awaited sequel to the cult adventure game series by Benoît Sokal. The pictures give a glimpse of the Youkol village visited by Kate Walker, the long-standing protagonist of the series, at the outset of her new adventure, as well as the inside of Steiner’s workshop, where the local automatons are made. The screenshots actually make us feel optimistic about the game. While a year ago the graphics could raise serious concerns among fans, in its current state Syberia 3 does well to preserve Sokal’s unique art style.

No Man’s Sky – the game, the hype, the reality. Recently we’ve been hearing that it’s not the game we signed up for. And, at the risk of sounding brutal, I think that No Man's Sky as it is now is, in fact, a failed experiment; one that offers a stunningly vast game world, but at the same time fails to provide sufficient motivation for us to explore it, and, due to severe technical issues, quickly annihilates any enthusiasm a space traveler may have developed.

Fires, floods, earthquakes, meteor showers – sounds fun, right? I mean terrible. So terrible, in fact, that Paradox Interactive have included all those catastrophes in the new Cities: Skylines expansion called Natural Disasters – just so you can see for yourself how frightening they are. And if you feel so inclined, you will also be able to craft and share new scenarios in Steam Workshop!

Gwent: The Witcher Card game has a lot to offer – even in its simplified, single player and campaign-oriented form.
