From the developer behind Pharaoh: A New Era, Theos: Cities of Myth is a Pantheon-themed strategic city builder and management game. Today, Triskell Interactive and Dotemu revealed an all-new trailer for the title alongside a release date announcement. The trailer discusses the game’s modernized homage to the greatest city builders of the aughts.…
Today’s second and final showcase is the PC Gaming Show. It’s definitely better than the Xbox Games Showcase, though that may just be because there’s more games featured (seriously, it’s way too long, after an hour and a half I wanted to tap out so badly and by the two-hour…
Read MoreWelcome to Digitally Downloaded’s weekly catch-up news feature, the catch-up coffee. With each issue I will bring you the best news that you may have missed. Grab the biggest mug you’ve got, fill it with your favourite brew, and catch up with us (and our favourite news anchor, Dee Dee)!…
Read MoreI came into the Xbox Games Showcase expecting very little to be excited about, and I in fact got very little to be excited about. On one hand, it was streamed in 4K and that was nice. On the other hand, most titles get a big yawn from me. Still,…
Read MoreAnother showcase that starts with the word “future!” This time, though, it’s hosted by Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson. Well, kind of – the hosts are voice actors Yuri Lowenthal and Laura Bailey. This showcase lasts about 50% longer than most (it’s an hour and a half) but does take…
Read MoreAre you ready for an hour of adorableness?! The Wholesome Direct is what I look forward to most every year. This time around, it features nearly 80 cozy and uplifting indie games. There’s so many goodies that it’s difficult to narrow down the highlights! But I’ll try, as well as…
Read MoreFirst up in a busy day of showcases is Future of Play! It will feature over 30 new indie games, launch announcements, trailer reveals, and more. It’s wonderful to have showcases dedicated entirely to indies, despite what the live comments on YouTube might say.…
Read MoreThe Tribeca Games Spotlight is one of the few (if any) showcases with no reveals or surprises. Rather, it announces the games in advance and then spends its time taking a good long look at each title. Last year’s was great, as it included Immortality. There are seven games in…
Read MoreThis is the first annual Access-Ability Summer Showcase. I was pleasantly surprised to even hear that it existed, and in all honesty I’m honoured to cover such a strong selection of current and upcoming titles. While I wish I could give full coverage to every game mentioned, I honestly just…
Read MoreDevolver Digital is back and weirder than ever. This Direct’s story revolves around a (fake) mascot named Volvy, and it’s 2.0 evolution that makes up games as people suggests them. It’s honestly so bizarre, you just have to see it. I’ll be covering each of the four featured games, as…
Read MoreFor most, Summer Game Fest was the big event of the day. I watched it, but didn’t even bother covering it as a whole: there were like two things I was interested in. But following that is Day of the Devs, which is far more focused on artistic indie games…
