     Lovecraft inspired tactical roguelike Starless Abyss is now even more rewarding

I'm not sure what makes the unknowable so irresistibly compelling, but there's no questioning the allure of Lovecraft style eldritch horror. Arriving in April, new roguelike strategy game Starless Abyss forces scientists and worshippers of the occult to work together in the face of powerful, invading Outer Gods. It's already earned itself a very positive response from players, with 85% of Steam reviews recommending it, but now developer Konafa Games is ensuring you'll have more options at your disposal than ever.

     Satisfactory rival Foundry just got even better in a free Steam update

Nothing beats the sounds of virtual industry. Whether it's the clang of carts on redstone rail in Minecraft, the gentle hum of a Satisfactory conveyor belt, or the chaos of miles of facilities in Factorio, watching the fruits of your industrial labor bloom is a reward unlike any other. If, like me, you're always on the lookout for your next opportunity to engage in some video game manufacturing, then, you need to give Foundry a try. Currently in Steam Early Access, the game's second update just introduced myriad new ways to play, and it's even 50% off right now.

     Greek mythology Diablo rival Titan Quest 2 plans new upgrades after beta success

We're in a golden era for action RPGs at the moment. Last Epoch currently has my attention, but Path of Exile 2 continues to make great strides forward, its predecessor is gearing up for a new chapter, and Diablo 4 Season 8 is as robustly reliable as ever. If you love smashing mobs and snagging loot, however, you'll want to make time for Titan Quest 2. The upcoming Greek fantasy ARPG recently closed the doors on its first big playtest, and in its wake developer Grimlore Games offers fresh feedback and an update on its release plans.

     Grand Theft Auto 5 is Rockstar's worst game, but GTA 6 makes me optimistic again

Beginning in 1997, Grand Theft Auto has been a platform for Rockstar to expound its version of satire. The cast of the original GTA is a nihilistic rogue's gallery of corrupt cops and seedy politicians. The poster that comes in the game's box says it was co-developed by 'The Hand of Satan,' marking the first of many middle fingers that Rockstar has raised to good taste. But in Grand Theft Auto 4, and protagonist Niko Bellic, Rockstar becomes more sympathetic, more humanist.

     Warframe is being massively overhauled to help welcome in new players

Warframe, like any long-running MMO or live service game, is overwhelming. What started as a third-person action game where you take control of bio-mechanical suits has grown into something much, much bigger. Digital Extremes has spent the last 12 years throwing everything but the kitchen sink into Warframe, with fishing, dating, hoverboards, and just about anything else you can imagine already in the game. That's why, throughout 2025, the team is going to make Warframe much easier to understand for new players.

     Fantastic city builder Timberborn adds new transportation and terraforming tools

Beaver-based city builder Timberborn just got a lot more flexible. The voxel colony management sim has been gnawing its way through early access since September 2021 and is already a big winner, with 95% of players recommending it. Now, it's just taken another big leap forward as developer Mechanistry deploys Timberborn update 7, titled 'Ziplines and Tubeways.' The major overhaul introduces Satisfactory style transport networks and a range of additional terraforming tools that would make Minecraft or Terraria players jealous.

Hello reader who is also a reader, and welcome back to Booked For The Week - our regular Sunday chat with a selection of cool industry folks about books! I'm currently reading Dorothy Parker, who did more for the language than I'd previously though. I'm having quite regular moments of "oh, she said that". More proof, if any were needed, that the soul of wit is as much depression and alcoholism as it is brevity.

open world games like gta vi

We're a year away from the May 2026 launch of Grand Theft Auto VI. It'll be a lot, even though we should be able to expect more insights and announcements over the coming months to help us learn more about what to expect. That does mean that we might need one or two open-world games to welcome into our lives while we wait, but fortunately there are plenty of options to scratch the GTA VI itch.

Best Grand Theft Auto game to play while waiting for GTA VI: GTA: Vice City 

I know a lot of people are going to perhaps take issue with my suggesting Grand Theft Auto: Vice City instead of GTA V as the best entry in the series to play ahead of GTA VI. Hear me out. First, this is also an absolutely exceptional open-world game. It's among the best installments Rockstar made, right up there with GTA V and GTA: San Andreas. We also get to hear the fantastic Ray Liotta as our antihero Tommy Vercetti as deals with the mob. But even more critical is that this is an opportunity to visit Vice City again before returning to it as the new location with Lucia and Jason.

GTA: Vice City is available on the PS2, Xbox, PC, and also showed up on mobile devices.

Best open-world game with a medieval setting to play while waiting for GTA VI: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

This is another suggestion that could be controversial, but I have my reasons for it. Yes, I believe Skyrim is the superior game. However, it's one of the most popular open-world games in the world and available on every possible platform. Odds are, you've played it. The original Oblivion came out in 2006, which means folks maybe missed it, and the new remaster is a fantastic update with tons of quality of life adjustments and visual enhancements based on Skyrim. It's well worth a look if you need a game to play while waiting for GTA VI

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Best open-world game with a more modern setting to play while waiting for GTA VI: Yakuza 0

I can't recommend Yakuza 0 highly enough. It's a wonderful entry point for the series, due to introducing Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima. We're seeing them as young, up-and-coming yakuza, which sometimes fits in with the characters climbing the ranks in Grand Theft Auto games. There are tons of side activities to engage in around the city, again just like in GTA. Plus, the execution makes the city and its residents feel like a priority, which is great.

Yakuza 0 is available on the PS3, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and the Director's Cut will come to the Switch 2 on June 5, 2025. 

Cyberpunk 2077

Best open-world game with a futuristic setting to play while waiting for GTA VI: Cyberpunk 2077

CD Projekt Red open-world games are known for the same sorts of details and optional side activities and quests as Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto games, and Cyberpunk 2077 is a good pick to play while waiting for GTA VI. It features an incredibly futuristic story with unusual modifications you can pursue. It's far enough from its original release that it's in fantastic shape at the moment, complete with a Phantom Liberty add-on you might have missed if you only played at launch. 

Cyberpunk 2077 is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Switch 2 version launches on June 5, 2025. 

Best open-world sci-fi game to play while waiting for GTA VI: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition

Listen, I will take any opportunity to hype up Xenoblade Chronicles, and Xenoblade Chronicles X is a fantastic installment. There's character customization. There's a city to explore. A world to survey. Skells to pilot. Tons of mission to undertake. Allies to find. It's a huge game with an intricate story, and the new Definitive Edition helps wrap up some loose ends.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is available on the Wii U, and Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is on the Switch.

Grand Theft Auto VI will come to the PS5 and Xbox Series X on May 26, 2025.
