My most-anticipated but frequently delayed Zelda-like is finally releasing later this month after 6 years in development

Mina the Hollower is a top-down adventure game set to release on Steam on May 29, 2023. It draws inspiration from the classic Zelda series and features pixel art with an 8-bit aesthetic. The game is influenced by Bloodborne and leans towards the gothic charm of Castlevania. Development began in 2020, facing challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The studio aims to sell 500,000 copies for success, with 200,000 considered strong and below 100,000 raising concerns. The release timing is strategic, with limited competition in late May.

MOTORSLICE (PC) Review

MOTORSLICE is an action-adventure game developed by Regular Studio that combines hack-and-slash mechanics with parkour elements. The game features a ten-hour storyline where players control P, a Slicer, accompanied by a drone named Orbie. P's mission is to infiltrate "the Megastructure" and dismantle its machines. The game is noted for its intricately designed world, low-poly graphics, and unique parkour mechanics, including the Motorslice feature that allows P to traverse walls using a chainsaw. Players face various challenges and boss battles, though some encounters may feel limited. The game includes collectibles in the form of drones but lacks deeper lore integration. It has some bugs that can disrupt gameplay. Overall, MOTORSLICE is recommended for those who enjoy challenging parkour experiences.
