How Creative Assembly evolved from Isolation to getting the gang together for the ultimate (pop-culture heist

CRIME OF THE CENTURY

Game Hyenas

Developer Creative Assembly

Publisher Sega

Format PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series

Release 2023

A team of three thieves sneak through a cavernous spaceship. They tangle with the ship's guards, some of them wrapped in mech exoskeletons that resemble the power loader from the end of Aliens, and with other player-controlled squads with similarly felonious intent. Grenades are thrown out that blossom into clumpy walls of goo. Grappling hooks launch the thieves at speed through low-gravity environments. Finally, a safe-cracking device is attached to the vault they're here to rob, lasers drawing a molten line around the door's perimeter. It falls open, revealing the thieves' prize: a cassette with a hand-written label and a doodle of a disco ball. All this for a mixtape?

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.
