I played 3 hours of the Rayman Legends 3D remake—and while I miss the 2D artstyle, boy is it still pretty

Rayman Legends, originally released in 2013, has a score of 90 and is being remade into Rayman Legends Retold, which features a transition from 2D to 3D graphics and introduces new gameplay elements. Developed by Ubisoft Milan and Montpellier, the remake aims to create a cohesive narrative with voice acting, cutscenes, and interconnected overworld maps. It includes a new sixth world called The Land of the Livid Dead, with fresh platforming abilities and dragon riding segments. The health system involves the Teensies, where each hit results in a Teensie being lost, which may frustrate completionists. The game is scheduled for release on October 1.

The new game from the makers of Botanicula and Chuchel is like 1984 meets the Keystone Kops, but in a way that actually works

Phonopolis, developed by Amanita Design, was released last week and has received positive early impressions. The game features straightforward puzzles that resemble interactive toys, with a notable sequence involving evasion during a parade. It is inspired by the works of Karel Čapek and George Orwell, showcasing themes of class division, surveillance, and punishment. The soundtrack by Tomáš Dvořák contrasts the game's harsh environment with a gentle, dreamy lullaby. The game is described as having overt thematic elements, making it feel heavier and less joyful than previous titles like Machinarium and Botanicula. Phonopolis is available for purchase on Steam, Epic, and GOG for .49/£18/€19.79, with a collector's edition and a demo also offered on Steam.

Valve moves to dismiss gambling lawsuit against Counter-Strike 2 cases

Valve is facing a lawsuit from New York Attorney General Letitia James, filed in February 2026, which claims that the sale of Cases in Counter-Strike 2 constitutes unregulated gambling aimed at underage players. The lawsuit seeks to stop Valve's promotion of these features and impose financial penalties. Valve argues that opening a Case is similar to purchasing randomized items, a common practice in collectibles, and is urging the court to dismiss the case. The Attorney General is seeking damages amounting to three times Valve's profits from Case sales and a ban on selling these items in New York. Additionally, Valve is involved in a separate lawsuit in the UK regarding competition restrictions imposed on publishers.
