This hand-embroidered medieval adventure game looks like a lovely, chill time—but I’m warning you, don’t be fooled by its pleasant exterior

Over the Hill’s Next Fest demo promises a stylized off-roading game for people who actually like to drive

Funselektor's game, Over the Hill, offers a contemplative off-roading experience, differing from its previous titles, Art of Rally and Absolute Drift, which focused on speed and a top-down perspective. The game features a stylized world that emphasizes exploration over speed, allowing players to strategize their routes in a tranquil environment. The demo, available during the Steam Next Fest until June 22, showcases this approach, with an option to accelerate that may lead to unexpected tumbles. A specific release date for the full game has not been announced, but it is anticipated to launch later this year.

After playing the new remake of Tomb Raider, I’m convinced you can’t actually remake Tomb Raider

The original Tomb Raider experience captivated players in the late 1990s with memorable moments such as discovering a trapezoid box, switching to high-resolution graphics, experiencing the eerie stillness of caves, diving into pools while counting seconds for air, learning the importance of quick saves, falling from a waterfall, exploring Croft Manor, encountering a T-Rex, and flipping through menus showcasing 3D models. The legacy of Tomb Raider continues with titles like Tomb Raider Anniversary and Tomb Raider Remastered, while the new game, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, invites contemplation about the essence of the original 1996 game. The gaming landscape in 2026 features near-photorealistic visuals, but the charm of the original lies in its unrefined elements, which large-scale game development struggles to replicate. There is potential for capturing the original magic if Amazon collaborates with indie developers, rather than merely following current trends.

Windows 11’s Widgets panel is still a wasteland, even after Build

Microsoft's Build conference highlighted tools and hardware for enhancing the developer experience for Windows applications and AI agents, with a focus on refining Windows 11 and its applications through Windows K2. The Widgets panel, accessible via the weather icon or WIN+W shortcut, has not received significant attention and currently offers only 56 widgets, with few providing genuine utility. Notable widgets include MagicPods, Calendar Flyout, and some utilities, but overall, the panel is seen as lacking. Despite improvements in the Microsoft Store and a growing library of applications, the Widgets panel remains underdeveloped, with only minor enhancements made, and its future is uncertain.

After seeing Thief Remastered, I’m calling it: That doomed Deux Ex remaster should get rebooted with Nightdive in charge

Nightdive Studios is remastering Thief: The Dark Project, showcasing it at the PC Gaming Show with a nostalgic trailer and modern enhancements. The remaster will preserve the game's medieval settings and improve low-poly NPC designs, along with including a DVD extras menu featuring art, prototypes, and behind-the-scenes footage. In contrast, Aspyr's remaster of Neverwinter Nights 2 added essential features like Steam Deck support and resolved bugs, while their upcoming Deus Ex remaster lacks significant upgrades and has received negative feedback from fans. Both Thief and Deus Ex are part of The Embracer Group, which is observing the reception of these remasters. Aspyr has faced challenges, including losing the Knights of the Old Republic remake and legal issues with Disney. The Deus Ex remaster has been indefinitely delayed, raising concerns among fans about its management and future.

Fumito Ueda on why Gen Atlas has shooting but isn’t a shooter, cool robots, and generative AI

Fumito Ueda, the creator of Gen Atlas, shared insights about the game during a recent meeting. The game features a silent protagonist navigating a vast desert, encountering colossal robots, and engaging in combat.

Gen Atlas will be Ueda's first release on PC, allowing him to reach a broader audience. The game will also feature dynamic environmental interactions, contributing to its storytelling.
