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.

Cult-Classic ’90s Horror Game Comes To Steam With Bizarre Title

Myst was a groundbreaking title that showcased the potential of CD-ROM technology, leading to increased interest in PC multimedia and the emergence of new development teams. Major Hollywood figures recognized the impact of gaming on commercial entertainment, although their focus on full-motion video sometimes missed the mark. A notable collaboration between Time Warner Interactive and poet William S. Burroughs resulted in the game The Dark Eye, originally launched in 1995, which blends point-and-click adventure with a unique narrative experience. Players explore a manor filled with family secrets and stop-motion interpretations of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories, enhanced by claymation puppets and Burroughs’ narration. The game is being re-released on Steam under the new title Edgar Allan Poe’s Interactive Horror: 1995 Edition due to trademark issues with the original name. The revival of The Dark Eye reflects a trend of nostalgic PC games becoming more accessible through official releases on platforms like Steam. Starting Sunday, gamers can acquire the rebranded title on Steam.
