Doctor Who:
The Edge Of Time
Just when you thought it was safe to put your PSVR in
the loft, out comes the Doctor. Jodie Whittaker reprises
her role as the fantastically northern Time Lord in a
virtual reality adventure spanning – would you believe
it – time and space. Developed by Maze Theory – a studio
set up by former Activision and PlayStation brass, and
focused on the potential storytelling chops of VR games- The Edge Of Time sees players tackling all manner of
puzzles and fending off many of the Doc’s (if Bradley
Walsh says it, so can we) most legendary foes. We’ll hold
off on the comment that VR isn’t meant to be used by
under-12s for now, because this just sounds cool.
Dwarf Fortress
Yes, you read that right. Legendary indie game/
life dominator Dwarf Fortress is going legit and
making its way to Steam at some point this
year. One of the deepest, most influential titles
ever made, Dwarf Fortress had a huge hand in
kickstarting the trend towards survival roguelikes
we’re still seeing a lot of. Does the old master
still have it? With a graphical overhaul and
decades of development behind it, we’re going
to bet on: yes. Yes, it does.
Lost Ember
What’s better than being a wolf? Being a wolf that can
possess any other animal, naturally. Lost Ember brings
to life the dreams we never even realised we had, with
this narrative-focused exploration title ticking a lot of
now-traditional indie boxes. Idiosyncratic visuals, a
smooth and relaxing soundtrack, uplifting graphical
flourishes when you take over the mind and body of an
innocent bird – it’s all in there. If it all comes together,
Lost Ember could be a great way to while away some lazy
summer evenings.Early AccessAttract Mode
