Even 26 years ago, Alien: Isolation creative director Alistair Hope was desperate to make videogames, he tells us. "I actually right to the end of my fine art degree. Was I really going to have a go at being a traditional artist? And I picked up a copy of Edge, the one with Mario 64 on the cover. It was this era as 16bit was moving into the 3D world, and it all looked super-exciting. Then, at the back, there were adverts for jobs in game development. That blew my mind. I'd always assumed it would be such a cool job that it wouldn't be advertised anywhere. From that moment, I decided that's what I'm going to do - and three months later I started at CA."

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.
