We've all, at one point or another in our time on the internet, seen a post or comment so mean, shitty, or just bad that we can't help but start clacking the keys and writing up a response. It turns out, even Nintendo of America's president—Doug Bowser—can't always resist the siren song of hopping into the comments…

     Award nominated Nier Automata style sci fi indie game out now on Steam

1000xRESIST is a striking game, from its name through to its premise and visual style. Its eerie sci fi world and narrative call to mind Nier Automata, Killer7, Remember Me, Signalis, and 2017's underrated Echo, though it appears to be far more than a simple combination of those influences. It's also generated a lot of buzz in the lead up to its launch, racking up award nominations from the Independent Games Festival (or IGF) and establishing it as a project worth keeping an eye on. Now, it's come out on Steam, giving curious audiences the opportunity to take a closer look.

     Crusader Kings 3 gets update, discount, and you can try it for free

Creating a sequel to the widely revered Crusader Kings 2 couldn't have been an easy task. Just the same, Stellaris, Europa Universalis 4, and Victoria 3 makers Paradox Development Studio accepted the challenge and more than succeeded with 2020's Crusader Kings 3. Since the game came out, it's received plenty of acclaim as a successor to one of Paradox's most popular strategy projects and, as is typical of its creator, been well supported with frequent fixes and expansions. The latest of these is an update that came out yesterday, accompanied by a steep discount, and, even better, an opportunity to play the game for free on Steam for the next few days.

When you're stuck deep underground in a black and white dungeon with no escape, it'd be understandable if spelling wasn't foremost on your mind. In Cryptmaster you'll have to sharpen your lexicon as it's words which will help see you taste fresh air again. Words and smashing a few enemies of course, in fine dungeon crawler tradition.

Prime 1 Studio Horizon Forbidden West Aloy Figure Costs $1,200

Prime 1 Studio announced the release of a new 1/4 scale figure of Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West that costs $1,200/¥197,890. The figure is now available for pre-order from the North American and Japanese Prime 1 Studio online storefront, and it is set to be released between September and December 2025.

Its full name is the Aloy Tenakth Dragoon Armor Set figure, and it is approximately 27 to 28 inches tall (or about 69 to 73cm tall), depending on the chosen hand and spear pose. The figure includes a variety of swappable pieces, like a pair of arms and weapons and blue and yellow eyes for the machine featured on the base.

You can check out the figure in more detail here:

In addition, the bonus version of the figure will include a swappable head part for Aloy. The default piece features Aloy wearing the Tenakth Dragoon helmet and face paintings, while the bonus piece depicts Aloy not wearing them. The bonus version of the figure is limited to 1,000 orders, after which only the normal edition will be available.

Here is how the new Prime 1 Studio figure of Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West looks with the bonus head part on:

The new Horizon Forbidden West Prime 1 Studio figure of Aloy is now available for pre-order and will be released between September and December 2025. Horizon Forbidden West is readily available for the PS4, PS5, and Windows PC.

Ys III: Wanderers from Ys Switch

Wanderers From Ys, also known as Ys III: Wanderers from Ys, is now available globally on the Nintendo Switch eShop. The game is currently priced at $6.49 and runs via the EGGCONSOLE emulation system owned by publisher D4 Enterprise.

Originally released in 1989 for the PC-8801 and PC-9801, Wanderers from Ys would later receive ports to several consoles like the SNES and Genesis as well as a Playstation 2 Remake. It would also be reimagined as 2005's Ys: The Oath in Felghana which is currently available on Steam.

The game itself is a fairly direct sequel to the previous Ys games, and features Adol and Dogi returning to save the latter's home town of Felghana. The perspective has switched from the previous games nearly-top down view to a side-scrolling one, and is compatible with the Switch Pro Controller and Handheld mode.

You can get a look at some screenshots of the game in the gallery below:

Several songs from Nihon Falcom properties like the Ys and Trails series recently appeared in a DLC pack for DJMax Respect V. Meanwhile, Village Vanguard also started selling a set of merchandise featuring Ys characters back in September 2023.

The PC-8801 version of Wanderers From Ys is now available on Nintendo Switch.
