Release September 29 (Early Access)
For a certain subset of Warhammer players, the tabletop game is known simply as 'The Hobby'. The point being that this one thing can expand to fill all of your spare time. Not just playing the game itself but painting miniatures, reading fiction and match reports, admiring the work of talented painters and 'kitbash' remodellers and, of course, lusting after especially ornate miniatures on a scale that tests the limits of that word, knowing you'd need to take out a mortgage to ever buy one. This, it seems, is exactly the role that Unknown Worlds Entertainment wants Moonbreaker to fill, minus some of the associated expense.
This turn-based tactics game seems to be a major departure for the developer of Subnautica. Cast your mind back, though, and you might remember that those games themselves represented a leap from Natural Selection, the shooter-strategy hybrid with which the studio made its name in the first place. The latter half of that game's equation makes it clear that this is an interest of studio founder and CEO Charlie Cleveland, who has been working on this game since development began on Subnautica sequel Below Zero. He's also got tabletop credentials, having moonlighted as co-designer of Vampire: The Masquerade card game Vendetta.

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles
Anyone familiar with the concept of kitbashing is already halfway to understanding what Tomas Sala’s open-world builder is all about.
Children Of The Sun
René Rother’s acrid revenge thriller – an action game with its limbs broken and forcibly rearranged into the shape of a spatial puzzler – is at once a bonafide original and an unlikely throwback. Cast your eyes right and you wouldn’t blink if we told you this was a forgotten Grasshopper Manufacture game from the early PS3 era (we won’t be at all surprised if this finds a spot on Suda51’s end-of-year list).

Falling in battle simply switches control to the next person up, and then quick revive fixes everything

The pawn and the pandemic
Dragon's Dogma 2
The road from Vernworth to Bakbattahl is scenic but arduous. Ignore the dawdling mobs of goblins, and duck beneath the chanting harpies that circle on the currents overhead, and even moving at a hurried clip it is impossible for a party of four to complete the journey by nightfall.
