Ubisoft are reportedly tapped as one potential company that could acquire Arkane, though the Dishonored studio's own management may be in the running too
Things are potentially looking up for Arkane, depending on how you feel about Ubisoft (and depending on who actually ends up acquiring them). I mention the Assassin's Creed developer because, reportedly, they're interested in buying the studio from Microsoft, having even made a bid for it. I'll go out on a limb here and say it's the whole being French thing, but uh, I'd really rather someone else bought Arkane. Read more

"Steam's review queue is clogged up by AI slop": Salacious Fire Emblem-ish Food Devils gets a delay because its devs think Valve is inundated with genAI games
You might have seen that for today's grub, Edwin decided to in part feed The Maw with Food Devils, an incredibly salacious, foodie take on Fire Emblem, as it was meant to release today. The only problem is, it's not actually out yet. That might prompt you to call Edwin a rotten liar and march up to his castle at the top of the hill on a dark and stormy night with pitchforks and torches, but I beseech you to wait, because it's actually Steam's fault. And potentially, it's the fault of all those awful AI games that have been flooding Steam recently. Read more

There's Gloomwood , sure, but it's not as common as I'd like. That in turn then makes me curious about The Citadel Project, an immersive sim with some survival-horror elements set in a nasty, parasite-infected dark fantasy world, all apparently made by just one person.

Mirror, mirror... With five Sages under my belt, it was time to head off to the final temple in my Ocarina of Time replay to pick up the last of 'em before the big showdown (not technically the 'last', but you catch my drift). I chose to polish off the Shadow Temple last week, so I was left with no other direction than to head west to the Gerudo Desert and finish the main quest with one of my favourite dungeons in the game.
