     Newly announced Chernobylite 2 shows off radical change in direction

Some sequels offer more of the same, and that's absolutely fine - in fact, it's probably what most want. Then you have other sequels, like the newly-announced Chernobylite 2 Exclusion Zone which isn't content to do things the safe way. In fact, this might be one of the biggest deviations I've ever seen in a sequel, with developer The Farm 51 not just throwing away the rulebook - it's setting fire to it and salting the earth beneath.

     Play the new Lovecraftian city builder Worshippers of Cthulu right now

With so many city building and management games out now or on the horizon, it can be hard for a new entry to the genre to stick out. Amidst 2024 launches like Manor Lords, Frostpunk 2, and Cities Skylines 2, though, a game like Worshippers of Cthulu — one that takes the usual formula of city management and inflects it with Lovecraftian horror — is worth noting. Just as Dredge, Cult of the Lamb, and Darkest Dungeon found success in blending eerie cult horror with established genres, Worshippers of Cthulu looks to do the same. And now you can see how it plays for yourself thanks to the launch of a new demo on Steam.

     Abiotic Factor gets wet and wild in new soggy update out now

I'm already familiar with the fates of the majority of scientists working in Black Mesa during the events of Half-Life. Needless to say, they don't have a great time. Most end up dead thanks to alien creatures, the actions of the US military, or Gordon Freeman giggling to himself while dropping a grenade and running away. If you've ever done that last part then you might just love Abiotic Factor, a Half-Life-style co-op survival sim that's doing great guns on Steam and it just unveiled its brand new Crush Depth update.

Fortunately, 2018's Fallout 76 is now in better shape than ever before and, thanks to a Steam discount, cheap to pick up right now.

     Millennia looks to improve on a rocky launch with huge update, out now

Millennia has a solid premise. A 4X strategy game in the style of Civilization 6, it sees players guiding their population from its earliest days at the dawn of humanity through to various possible futures, weathering crises and defining a national identity as time marches onward. Its publisher, Paradox, is also responsible for all time classics like Crusader Kings 3, Europa Universalis 4, and Stellaris. Despite these factors, Millennia didn't come out with its best foot forward, and struggled with technical and design issues. With today bringing both a massive new update and the game's first expansion, though, it may have received the shot in the arm necessary to court a larger audience.

     The most important Cities Skylines 2 mod ever is finally here

It doesn't matter how clean your energy network is, how much money you spend on education, or how efficiently you've managed to zone your residential, commercial, and industrial areas - if your roads don't work in Cities Skylines 2, you've got nothing. At times, Colossal Order's city builder feels more like a road management sim. Everything in CS2 lives and dies by traffic, lanes, and roundabouts. Compared to the original Cities Skylines, the options for road building are greatly expanded, but with so much riding on proper highways and thoroughfares, you could be forgiven for wanting more. Enter a new Cities Skylines 2 mod, which will change your experience forever.

rachael lillis died

Rachael Lillis, the voice actress for Misty and Jessie in the original Pokemon English dub, died on August 10, 2024. She was 46 years old and passed away from breast cancer.

Eric Stuart, who'd voiced Brock and James in the English Pokemon dub, posted a message from Veronica Taylor (who played Ash) sharing the news. He also gave a tribute, calling her his partner in comedic crime and telling people to watch the original Pokemon dub to celebrate her life. Veronica's message discussed Rachael's work in life, as well as the support people showed her during her battle with cancer. Lillis's sister created a GoFundMe campaign for her in May 2024.

The Pokemon Twitter account also posted a memorial message. The message stated that her talent and work on the animated series brought the characters to life, and that people will remember her for generations to come. It ends with thoughts and condolences for her friends and family.

Aside from her roles as Misty and Jessie, she's voiced several species of Pokemon over the course of the anime and game series. She was Jigglypuff, Goldeen, Torchic, Beautifly, and Vulpix. Lillis was also Cocco in Hunter x Hunter: The Last Mission, Princess Charlotte in Berserk, and Utena in Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie. As a note, Tomoko Kawakami, the Japanese voice actress for Utena, also died of cancer. She had ovarian cancer and died in 2011 at the age of 41.

A memorial for Rachael Lillis will take place some time in the future.

dr stone final season

The final season of Dr. Stone, Dr. Stone Science Future, will start airing in 2025. There will be three cours in this season.

There's not much information on the final season apart from the release window and a key visual. The key visual depicts Senku as a child and an adult looking up at the moon. Next to it, there's a quote from Senku stating that they're going to go to the moon. This final season will cover the Moon Mission Arc, which is the only arc in the Stone to Space Saga. As it says on the tin, it's a story arc mostly focusing on their space mission.

Dr. Stone is a Japanese manga series that started in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2017 and ended in 2022. In total, there are 27 tankobon volumes. It follows the story of a post-apocalyptic world in which humanity was petrified for almost 4000 years. After they wake up, they're basically in the Stone Age again. Fortunately, protagonist Senku Ishigami is a scientific genius who is able to reinvent basic necessities and free other petrified people. His main goal is to build a new scientific civilization, though some people oppose this.

Dr. Stone Science Future, the final season of the show, will begin airing some time in 2025. The show, including the previous season New World, is available on Crunchyroll.

chiikawa pocket

A mobile game based on Chiikawa is in development, with pre-registration now open in Japan. The title of the game is Chiikawa Pocket, or Chiipoke for short. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

You can pre-register via the Apple Store and the Play Store. The concept of the game is that you'll always have Chiikawa with you as you go about your daily life. Things you'll be able to experience in the game include mini-games (which will be packed full of Chiikawa's unique worldview), item collection, home page customization, costume collecting, and exterminating enemies.

You can check out the promotional video for Chikawa Pocket here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAFgIihmkFA

Chiikawa is short for Nanka Chiisakute Kawaii Yatsu, which literally translates to "Something Small and Cute." It's a Japanese manga series that started serialization in 2020 (as online Twitter posts) and an anime based on it came out in 2022.

Though the characters are adorable little things that don't look out of place when next to Sanrio mascots, the story feels very different from other shows in the "cute critter doing cute critter things" genre. For example, some stories deal with the characters smashing their brethren with a hammer after they were brainwashed and petrified. Others deal with characters taking an exam together, but only one of them passes.

Chiikawa Pocket is in development for mobile devices. More information on it will come out in the future.

frieren sculpture

The official Frieren X (formerly known as Twitter) account has posted a giant Frieren sculpture descending upon the citizens of Asagaya. It was part of the Asagaya Tanabata Festival.

The giant Frieren sculpture looks like it's made of paper, as if someone had folded a giant Frieren and then taped the individual parts together. It it was part of the Tanabata Festival, it's likely papier-mâché. She's even holding her staff, leading one reply to comment that this piece of artwork depicts Frieren leaping down from the ceiling to attack a hapless victim. Another commenter joked that the first Virtua Fighter is very stylish as a reference to the somewhat boxy look of the sculpture.

Frieren is the main and titular character of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. It is a very popular manga and anime series. As of June 2024, there are over 22 million copies in circulation, and it won several awards since it started serialization in 2020. It follows the story of Frieren, an elven mage who was part of a party that defeated the Demon King. Fifty years later, she returns from a journey to find that the world and her companions have changed. Filled with regret after the hero Himmel died, Frieren decides to travel to the resting place of souls to see Himmel again and bid him a true farewell.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is available on Crunchyroll and Viz Media has licensed the manga for North America.

Review: Muv-Luv Remastered Switch Version Is a Great Place to Start

Getting into the Muv-Luv series is a commitment. One that's certainly easier now than it was years ago when it was a Japan-exclusive series, for sure. But still. You need to be ready to get invested. Fortunately, the Muv-Luv Remastered Switch release really does feel like the best and easiest way to get into the series, as well as enjoy reading through Takeru, Sumika, and Meiya's story.

Editor's Note: There will be no Muv-Luv Unlimited spoilers in this Muv-Luv Remastered Switch review.

Now, right away the Muv-Luv Remastered Switch release makes it easy to get into the adventure, as you get to make a choice immediately after starting. You can jump right into Muv-Luv Unlimited, rather than playing Extra first. You shouldn't, but you can. Considering Extra is the weaker of the two stories, I don't blame you if you just look up some details on characters and go with the second part first, but there is some important character development in the initial part.

Review: Muv-Luv Remastered Switch Version Is a Great Place to Start
Screenshot by Siliconera

With Muv-Luv Extra, you get to experience normal school life for Takeru Shirogane. He's always been close to Sumika Kagami, his childhood friend. So close that, as his neighbor, she just comes in every day to his room to wake him up. However, one day he wakes up to find Meiya Mitsurugi in his room and bed. As you can imagine, this means a whole love triangle begins as Meiya insists she's meant to marry Takeru and Sumika starts wondering about what she really wants. However, it isn't just a love triangle, of course, as you can also choose to go for Chizuru, Miki, or Kei as you play.

Muv-Luv Extra in Remastered is, in general, fine Switch visual novel. It feels like a very typical dating sim. Characters can feel like they belong to established tropes like elegant rich girl or childhood best friend. Takeru is often an immature, perverted teenager, which may make it more difficult to connect with him at the start. The best part of it, especially in this remaster, comes down to the production values. Every character has multiple sprites. They're moving around the screen and dynamic, to give a sense of motion and energy you might not typically experience in a visual novel. Even if the general concept might feel ordinary at the start, the extra effort put into those elements helps a lot.

Review: Muv-Luv Remastered Switch Version Is a Great Place to Start
Screenshot by Siliconera

Muv-Luv Unlimited is when the Remastered Switch release and series gets interesting. It begins with Takeru back at the first day of Muv-Luv Extra, except he finds he is in a whole different world and timeline. Here, the BETA aliens invaded and everyone fought back. Only his house is standing when he wakes up in bed. What's left of humanity fights back in giant mechs and puts forth plans to try and salvage some sort of life for themselves. However, some of the people he knew and loved from the original adventure are back. It's tone is quite different, given the sci-fi approach and "after the apocalypse" nature of things. However, there there is still a bit of a romance option to it, depending on your choices. It isn't a dating sim in the same way Extra is, but you can earn endings with characters. 

In this Switch Remastered release, it's basically Muv-Luv Unlimited that makes Extra worth playing. The differences between the characters we meet in the original storyline, then what they are like in the second part, help provide a better perspective of what's going on and who they are. One informs the other, and it grants the player a better understanding and appreciation.

Review: Muv-Luv Remastered Switch Version Is a Great Place to Start

Likewise, Muv-Luv Unlimited is essentially a redemption for Takeru. There's such personal growth and development as we see what this young man experiences. Getting to see what his life was like, what his new story entails, and how he reacts as a result is fascinating. It's a sense of culminating maturity that we get to see carried forth even further. There's not the genuine pay-off for everything yet. (That's saved for Muv-Luv Alternative!) However, there's still something there.

Also, as expected, the production qualities in Muv-Luv Unlimited in Remastered on the Switch remain as high as in Extra. The game looks great on the system. It's especially fun in handheld mode. The perspective and resolution looks good. The displays are dynamic. It's easy to make quick saves, jump around to past text, and keep track of everything going on. The audio quality is also quite good, which gets to be important as the drama ramps up in the second part of the story.

Screenshot by Siliconera

When it comes to the Muv-Luv series, you're basically committing to a three-game experience when you start it. Muv-Luv Remastered, as a whole, sets up a foundation for one of the most intriguing visual novels to come out of Japan. This means that what you're experiencing is happening for a reason. Muv-Luv Extra might feel a bit trope-heavy and as though the dynamic nature of character portraits and movements are the only thing setting it apart, due to it laying groundwork regarding characters. Muv-Luv Unlimited is when it starts getting interesting and we get into the meat of things, due to the new mysteries being introduced and way what we learned in the first game shapes the lives of characters like Takeru and Meiya. Put together in one package with Muv-Luv Remastered, and we get a solid start to Age's story.

Muv-Luv Remastered is available for the Nintendo Switch. It is also available on the Vita and PC worldwide and the PS3, Xbox 360, and mobile devices in Japan.
