Not going to lie, Control 2 stole the game awards for me. Alan Wake 2 was one of the best horror game experiences I’ve had since Dead Space (2023) so I was insanely pumped for this surprise. I love the nightmarish Dr Strange vibe. The combat looks sort of souls like but with the gravity, reality shattering creativity of the first Control. Visually the game looks nuts in the best way. I’m absolutely keeping an eye out on Control 2. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Star Wars Galactic Racer teaser trailer
I was in love with the pod racing games of old growing up. Even now, I still think Episode 1 pod racer is awesome. In theory a new high speed Star Wars racer can be mind blowing with today’s graphics and game mechanics. Unfortunately I already know corporate greed and microtransactions are going to be all over this game. Hopefully the game will still kick ass despite the dark side of modern gaming being deep into this thing. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Resident Evil 9 Leon trailer
So I know I’m calling his the Leon trailer, and oh boy does he steal the show, but I got a couple of stops to make along the way. We start by learning our antagonist is a dude name Victor Gideon who I got mixed feelings on. Gideon is giving me some real hard Mad Eye Moody vibes with his look but I like his voice. The graphics look incredible and I love the atmosphere. Leon looks like a total badass and I did smile seeing him return. What worries me a bit is the game might be too action focused or completely bust trying to deliver 2 different gameplay styles between Grace and Leon- last thing we need is a repeat of Resident Evil 6. In the end, the game looks great still and like many, I was pumped to see Leon return. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Effulgence RPG – ASCII-3D-powered sci-fi RPG hits Steam Early Access Dec 2 (demo available)
After checking out the demo for this, all I can really say is, go check out the demo. It is essentially a turn-based RPG combined with Monster Hunter. You go into battle and kill enemies, then use those parts to build bigger and better weapons. Effulgence RPG has a demo available, and it is well worth checking out.
Key features at a glance
- Text-only visuals – the entire game (characters, environments, effects) is built from text symbols.
- Tactical turn-based combat with a PING system that controls turn order and timing.
- Convert enemies into gear – harvest raw parts from defeated foes and print new weapons and items.
- Short satirical dialogues and a slightly absurd, darkly humorous tone instead of a heavy epic story.
- 3D-style globe map built from symbols, with locations gradually unlocking as you progress.
It should be noted, and the Developer has been very up front about this, that the December 2nd release into early access will be a very compact version of the game because they want to focus on player feedback for the first part. There is also a supporter DLC during early access that will be completely free to anyone who gets the game before the 1.0 release and won’t become paid until after that. (Those who got it free will have it free forever.) So go check it out, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Construction Crew revealed. A new co-op simulator is coming to PC and consoles from Ultimate Games
Just announced by Ultimate Games and coming to consoles and Steam is Construction Crew. I won’t say it is coming soon, as it has some pretty lofty goals and some big shoes to fill. Tentatively, release is set for sometime in 2026 or 2027, but a demo is set to come out this month. Check out the demo below, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Wolverine PS5 trailer reveal
Am I the only one who thought this game would never come? After years of rumors, we finally got a trailer and all I got to say is- damn. Graphically, it’s beautiful and oh so bloody. Seriously, I love that they went all out on the gore. The characters look great. I’m personally stoked for Omega Red. My only worry is how to do a full game on Logan without it getting repetitive. Also, much like making a game based on Hulk, Superman, or Thor, the question also arises how to pull the indestructible death machine that is Wolverine without making him feel nerfed. I guess we’ll find out next fall. I can’t wait to see more. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
