Minecraft meets Wind Waker? Hytale with airships? Everwind is Steam’s latest big early access release, and it could be a winner with time

Two fantasy-themed sandbox titles, Hytale and Enjoy Studio's Everwind, have recently emerged, with Everwind featuring airships as a unique gameplay element. The game invites players to scavenge, craft, and explore in a procedurally generated world made of destructible voxel blocks, reminiscent of Minecraft. Players gather resources to create weapons, armor, tools, and furniture, while the game’s aesthetic evokes a muted, medieval fantasy atmosphere. Everwind's world consists of vast oceans and diverse islands, some floating in the sky. Players can engage in crafting and combat, with a stamina-based system that enhances gameplay. The process of salvaging and constructing airships involves scanning parts for blueprints and gathering essential components. Initial experiences may include challenges such as resource scarcity and unexpected events, but these can lead to deeper exploration. Air travel mechanics allow players to set speed and elevation, though early travel can be slow and lacks engaging distractions. The game is currently in early access and has the potential for growth and improvement over the next year.

After four hours of Resident Evil Requiem, it could be the return to classic RE I’ve waited so long for

The Resident Evil series has been debated among fans regarding its identity as either an action or survival horror game, particularly after the destruction of Raccoon City, which led to a shift towards action-oriented gameplay. The announcement of Resident Evil Requiem, featuring the return of the Raccoon Police Department, has generated hope for a return to the series' roots. The game includes distinct gameplay styles for protagonists Grace and Leon, with Grace in first-person mode focusing on survival horror and Leon in third-person mode emphasizing action. The Rhodes Hill Clinic offers a complex layout reminiscent of classic locations, filled with puzzles and collectibles. New enemies include a formidable chef and a creature similar to Mr. X, which can be defeated by Grace. Grace's character adds vulnerability, contrasting with Leon's heroism and reinforcing his role as a protector.
