Empyrion: Galactic Survival - Dark Faction

Alright, I'm heading out(ward).

Dark Souls popularized a control scheme where the light attack button is on R1/RB. Action games have copied it for years, and I'm sick of it.

Not only were my fears of the roguelite loop unfounded, but the Burnout roots baked into developer Fuse Games’s DNA was joyously evident in every moment I spent on the track with Star Wars: Galactic Racer. And the times I wasn’t going hundreds of miles per hour when I was on foot did a great job of further Star Wars-ifying my experience. I’m incredibly optimistic about what I’ve seen from this long overdue spiritual successor to Episode 1: Pod Racer, and I can’t wait to play more of it.

Zeverland is an open-world zombie survival crafting game that looks goofy – and sometimes is – but its core gameplay loop is deadly serious. In fact, you can choose to become a zombie if you get killed by the undead.

Santa Barbara Games, a new developer comprised of former Bethesda, Riot, EA, and other talent, has announced its first game: Voidwood, a 1-4-player fantasy co-op survival horror game with a decidedly Studio Ghibli-esque art style. In it, you and your friends play as children lost in a cursed forest, scavenging for supplies and crafting tools by day in order to survive and escape at night when The Beast, an unkillable monstrous force, is unleashed.
