MachineGames’ eagerly awaited release, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, marks Indy’s first official entry into the video game industry. Arriving as a day one release on December 9, the first-person single-player adventure challenges players to solve one of the biggest mysteries in history.

Tencent has revealed intentions to offer Light of Motiram, its contentious open-world survival crafting game, on the PS5, mobile devices, and PC. Tencent revealed the PS5 version on PlayStation’s Chinese social media profiles on Weibo and Bilibili, according to Gematsu. The free-to-play survival game Light of Motiram, developed by Shanghai-based Tencent subsidiary Polaris Quest, is “where nature meets machine.” According to screenshots and gameplay videos, the visual aesthetic is strikingly similar to Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West with its post-apocalyptic environment and mechanical creatures. Gamexta has contacted Sony and Tencent for comment. Tencent released a seven-minute video…

Like its predecessor, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 offers a ton of activities, including the ability to tour the entire globe Earth. The first (and so far, only) 10 I have given in a review was for Microsoft Flight Simulator in 2020, and the magnitude of the possibilities available in this year’s follow-up has only been lessened by the persisting issues that come with them. I am currently working on this evaluation and my upcoming aviation career because codes were not accessible early and unexpected turbulence during takeoff made it practically difficult to play for the first 24 hours. As of…
In honor of the next free Warframe: 1999 expansion, which is scheduled for release in December 2024, Gamexta can exclusively announce that Dark Sector, the 2008 third-person shooter from Warframe creator Digital Extremes, is currently available for free on Steam for the next 72 hours. Except for a few countries, including South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, Steam users can download Dark Sector from its Steam website immediately and avoid paying the $9.99 price tag. Dark Sector puts you in the role of Hayden Tenno, a clandestine agent who has to infiltrate the made-up Eastern European city of Lasria, which…
In 2025, Zynga aims to release Star Wars: Hunters for PC through Steam Early Access. In June, the free team-based fighting arena game Star Wars: Hunters was released for iOS, Android, and the Nintendo Switch. Gamexta gave Star Wars: Hunters a 7 out of 10. “Like a party at the Death Star, Star Wars: Hunters offers lighthearted PvP fun. It is impressive for a while, but not a location you will want to linger around for too long,” we remarked. Take-two-owned FarmVille, Words with Friends, and CSR Racing are Zynga’s most well-known mobile games; but, with Star Wars: Hunters, the…
A particular type of friction can significantly contribute to the creation of a demanding and penal game that is also While many post-apocalyptic first-person shooters are not particularly heart-stopping, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is. It is designed to produce the kind of friction that is essential to making a demanding, punitive, and engaging game. It becomes evident that the survival instincts ingrained in the STALKER series are still very much alive in this much-anticipated sequel when you are forced to fend for yourself in the face of numerous threats that might kill you at any time and rarely have…
Amazingly, I can still rank Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake as one of the best games I have ever played in a year already jam-packed with fantastic remakes like Persona 3 Reload and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This is not because it aims to completely reimagine the 1988 NES original, as Square Enix did with Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth, but rather because it achieves an almost flawless balance between staying true to the core elements of Dragon Quest III and incorporating contemporary quality-of-life enhancements and a stunning new look that makes exploring and fighting through its surprisingly…
Today, the studio revealed a gift basket filled with items for new and returning fans on its website, providing them with an update on the festivities. The announcement is sufficient to ease the wait, even though it is not exactly the Half-Life 3 reveal that fans have waited twenty years for. The most anticipated announcement is a two-hour making-of video from the Half-Life 1 documentary’s Secret Tape crew. For a behind-the-scenes look at how the studio dealt with running out of money, getting hacked, creating its PC retail Steam, and more, Valve says ardent fans may begin seeing the Half-Life…
Aside from a few irksome quality-of-life problems and bugs, Metal Slug Tactics’ superb retro-inspired shell houses a well-made, distinct, grid-based tactics roguelite that deftly adapts its frantic roots into a more orderly genre without missing a step. Metal Slug Tactics beautifully translates the run-n-gun series into its first turn-based tactics game, but it also does not sacrifice substance for cheap nostalgia. Tactics place you in charge of the Peregrine Falcons, an elite fighting force inside The Normal Army, much to most mainline Metal Slug games (the most recent being Metal Slug 7 from 2009). Metal Slug’s legions of different enemy…
