Dontnod’s narrative mystery redoubles the mind games

Developer/publisher Format Origin

Release

Dontnod PC, PS4, Xbox One France Winter

Two heads are better than one, they say – though Twin Mirror more accurately extols the virtues of having two minds. Don’t let main character Sam Higgs’ resemblance to James McAvoy fool you, though; this is not a Split-style take on a fractured personality, per se. Rather, Dontnod uses the idea of duality – of a usefully detached alter-ego and a secondary world in which its hero frequently sojourns – to explore the complexities of analytical thought and emotions.

“Sam is not really comfortable in reality,” says game director Florian Desforges of Sam’s mind palace, an imaginary construct into which he frequently escapes and which helps him organise his thoughts and memories. “Sam’s mind palace is a peaceful place that allows him to remember things. Sometimes you find an object or speak with someone and you can access your mind palace to remember something else connected to it.”

Possessor(s)

After three rounds of layoffs this year and Hyper Light Breaker’s curtailed development in early access, a lot seems to rest for Heart Machine on this plucky Metroidvania side project. The studio has an obvious knack for conjuring up fascinating fantasy worlds, but since its compact debut, Hyper Light Drifter, it’s been less obvious whether it can manage projects of a larger scale. And perhaps, on that count, even the modest Possessor(s) isn’t quite modest enough — it feels as much a victim of the company’s production woes as a showcase for its creative talent.

Street Fighter 6

Superstition might suggest that even numbers are more auspicious for the series, but it's fairer to say that Capcom learned from the mistakes of Street Fighter V and launched a fighting game that doesn't just feel like a full package, but one that has foundations to build on in future updates.

The Outer Worlds 2

There's always a risk in imitating something regarded as a classic: if it offers a template for success, it could just as easily invite unfavourable comparison. Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas has gained that reputation in the 15 years since its release, and while the original The Outer Worlds, led by Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, referenced that series without aping it, the sequel zeroes in on New Vegas as its direct source of inspiration. This explains both why The Outer Worlds 2 is a success and why it can't quite stand tall as a creation with its own identity.
