As of 9/2026: Aion2 is just launching. Once Human. Even ESO just dropped it's price to a familiar 26$ to match the base game upgrade – but without paywalls to limit social interaction. Actual free play vs this decades old dinosaur trying to pass itself off as an equal. It was back in it's day, but now.... Daybreak is like another Voldemort copy trying to stay attached to something alive before it's parasitic nature destroys itself. Don't feed the paywall if possible. The faster it goes, then maybe someone can pick it up that actually cares about the game and it's players.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Flotsam free on Epic: claim the garbage-sea builder by 12 Nov

Flotsam free on Epic until 12 November. The cheapest we had logged it at since late September was $10.45 on 15 October, and the market had moved back up before this offer opened.

Games like Subnautica, where the map opens when you earn it

Games like Subnautica that keep the depth gate: a wall you cannot pass, a workbench, and more map opening only once the equipment does.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.

Control Resonant sale: the price band broke this week

The first Control Resonant sale since launch landed on 2 November. Our 36 readings before it never left an eight per cent band, which says something about waiting.
