Is it getting cold in here, or just me? Why surviving the cold is such a popular strategy theme today

The trend of survival strategy games set in freezing environments is becoming more common due to factors such as climate change, broad appeal, and the unique challenge of surviving extreme weather. Frostpunk has influenced the genre by highlighting the cold as an existential threat that players must navigate. Despite the growing popularity of these games, it remains a relatively new concept in the gaming world. The trend may plateau unless developers innovate on the idea in the future.

ExeKiller is a game set in a "semi-open" world featuring a cyber-Western aesthetic with retro-futuristic visuals.

The game features a desert landscape with smaller locations, a stylish hovercar for transportation, and allows for various approaches to quests, including combat, stealth, hacking, and dialogue.

The making of Fallout Tactics: ‘I sound like I’m down on it now, but I still love what we made’

In 2001, the hairy deathclaw from Fallout Tactics became a focal point for criticism of the game's developer, Micro Forté, due to its unconventional design choice of a thick fur coat. Lead designer Ed Orman acknowledged the controversy, stating that while variations on deathclaws could be justified, the design was initially seen as sacrilege. Fallout Tactics is considered a bold offshoot of the RPG franchise, created by a passionate team despite limited resources. Although Todd Howard declared it non-canon, elements from the game have influenced later titles and gained appreciation among fans. Orman expressed pride in the team's accomplishment despite the challenges faced during development.
