BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SCATTERED HOPES

The sound of Cylons

Memories of the most recent TV version of Battlestar Galactica may have faded in recent years, but not for Alt Shift. Indeed, when the studio created its 2019 space strategy game Crying Suns, it already had the adventures of Commander Adama and co in mind. “When we created Crying Suns, our fantasy was to make a game where you can embody the role of Adama,” Frédéric Lopez, Alt Shift's CEO, explains. “We didn't have the licence, so we created another universe. Now we're able to do the game we wanted to do.” Working with Dotemu, Alt Shift now has the seal of approval from Universal Studios.

The result is Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, a Roguelike RTS that gives you command of a fleet and runs parallel to events of the 2000s TV reboot. Your aim is to flee the relentlessly pursuing Cylons, the destroyers of much of humanity, hoping to catch up with the Galactica itself. The personnel are different from those in the TV show, then, although fans should encounter familiar names along the way.

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.
