I managed to play some of the game's second beta back in December and was wowed by it. Mollie Taylor, News Writer: I've never been much of a 2D fighter player, but Street Fighter 6 is about to change all of that. But even if it is mostly just a tribute act, I'm squarely in the target market for exactly this kind of pandering. If we're really lucky, Tempest Rising will have enough of its own ideas to make this style of throwback strategy feel at home in 2023. Asymmetrical factions, multiple campaigns, a focus on base building, and even a mysterious (and profitable) new resource that now spreads unchecked through a war torn world. "Inspired by RTS greats of the '90s and 2000s," claims the Steam page, which is a nice way of saying it looks a lot like Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. But while it doesn't have the name attached, Tempest Rising is the nostalgia act that has me most intrigued. There are plenty of old names coming back to our PCs: Homeworld, System Shock and even Jagged Alliance. Phil Savage, UK Editor-in-Chief: I said it last year, after a Gamescom filled with nostalgic delights: the '90s are back (opens in new tab). As ever, Red Hook's class design is fantastic, and the Shrine's of Reflection add a lovely little element of backstory to unlocking abilities. Though I think Darkest Dungeon 2 will ultimately prove divisive among a lot of first game fans, I, for one, am very much looking forward to playing the full game. While the relationship system could still use some work, its far more balanced now than it was when the game launched. But despite doubts, I think the game is shaping up to be something special-a no-punches-pulled carriage ride through hell where fortune can favor or fail you. I'm a big fan of the first, so was a little perturbed when Red Hook upended the original's formula in favor of the new relationship system and roguelike roadtrip structure. Sean Martin, Guides Writer: Though the second Darkest Dungeon has been in early access since late 2021, I'm excited to see its final form when it releases fully this year.
