The Lantern of the Laughless Saint, a Morrowind-inspired RPG weirdfest out this week in early access, has immediately seduced me with dialogue camera hijinks

I've woken up on a beach. I'm staring up into the nostrils of a bald man whose face looks to be made of wet clay. He's saying vaguely threatening things about a tower and my race and an island and the fact I'm far from home.

It's called Ordnance Heist, and while it doesn't offer any major new features or radical changes, the big thing it does focus on is completing multiple runs across multiple maps, netting you an explosive weapon called the Firestorm.

The Sinking City 2 ditches the thinky stuff for classic survival horror, but I'm yet to decide if it's truly better for it

There's a bit, early on in The Sinking City 2 , where you enter the waterlogged Miskatonic University. As you teeter around toppled shelves and slalom through sodden tomes, a siren begins to blare. It's the last call for survivors hoping to flee the doomed city of Arkham, after which only a few determined souls remain. It feels like a world in the process of transition as we join it, and that's reflective of the series too. Read more

Review: Retroid Pocket Nova - The New Retro Emulation Handheld To Beat

Powerful enough for PS2 emulation, authentic enough for SNES. Over the past few years, retro handhelds have felt less and less retro. Powerful new chipsets and drivers have pushed Android handheld performance into PC handheld territory, with widescreen panels to match. The Retroid Pocket Nova ($244) is different. It combines the original vision for the handhelds - emulating old games - with real power. That combination has been the white whale of this hobby for years.
