The days of relatively short development cycles for big-budget AAA games feels like a distant memory, as it’s not uncommon for titles to spend many years in development. These days, a five-year production cycle isn’t uncommon at all, and some games take the better part of a decade to be released. Such lengthy waits aren’t intrinsically bad, as games like Crimson Desert and Doom 2016 were worth the wait.But right now? Numerous studios have been toiling away on their respective projects, keeping out of the spotlight and offering little to no updates along the way. Some of them have undergone…

The Prisoning: Fletcher’s Quest is described as a metroidvania-lite. It features all the staples of a typical metroidvania with a sprawling map, upgradeable weapons, and tough boss fights. The “lite” implies a shorter adventure than most. And in the end, that’s exactly what you have: a quirky, simple adventure that’s fun while it lasts. The Prisoning is a creative experience. The whole thing begins with a short scene involving a game developer, Fletcher, talking to some sort of psychologist. It seems Fletcher is suffering from anxiety, so his inept counselor suggests a deep sleep to help him face his demons.…

Airborne Kingdom was one of the early pioneers of what I’ve dubbed the “weird city builder” trend, one that takes the genre out of its realistic, SimCity-esque roots and plonks it on the back of a dinosaur or in a world populated by beavers. In Airborne Kingdom’s case, the gimmick was building a flying city, and it executed that well enough to receive a score of 80% in our Airborne Kingdom review.I’d lost track of what developer The Wandering Band had been up to since, because Steam’s torrent of new games never ceases. But it turns out what it’s been…

Slay the Spire 2 developer Mega Crit has published a detailed roadmap for Slay the Spire 2 without promising any release dates because it doesn’t want to make “Sloppy Spire 2.”Studio co-founder Casey Yano outlined a host of new Early Access updates the team has planned for the popular deckbuilder roguelike in the latest installment of its The Neowsletter. The message comes with 17 bullet points featuring additions Mega Crit hopes to add on its path to a 1.0 launch, including everything from support for more languages and bug fixes to a new character and alternate versions of Acts 2…

While there are no shortage of Metroidvanias flooding the PS Store these days, Castlevania’s side-scrolling era is a well that remains largely untapped. Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege unashamedly draws inspiration from Konami’s 1987 NES classic, delivering a mostly delightful action platformer with fun combat and some surprisingly smart set-pieces. Set in 1698, you assume the role of hatted hero Rudiger, an agricultural everyman who gets drawn into a wider, somewhat political plot, involving a power-hungy priest named Father Pacer. The writing is sharp and amusing at points, and it gives momentum to the star of the show here, which…
