Röki devs’ Greek God friend ’em up Mythwrecked arrives summer 2024

Non-linear friend ‘em up Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island is now coming out next summer after a slight delay, and the team have debuted a new trailer to mark the news. Mythwrecked comes from Polygon Treehouse, the studio behind 2020’s gorgeous adventure Röki, only this time the Norse mythology has been switched for some Greek dressing, and the snow has all melted away into sand. Come take a look at the friendly/ethereal/hot deities below.

Here’s our first look at Pioneers Of Pagonia, the new citybuilder from The Settler’s original creator

Earlier this year, Volker Wertich announced that he was returning to the citybuilding genre 30 years after he headed up The Settlers. We now have our first in-game look at his new project Pioneers Of Pagonia, which seems to dial up the economic management and actual building-of-towns side of the formula, rather than the RTS combat machinations. Take a look at the lush fields and construction down below.

Our 22 favourite games of 2023 so far

Don’t look now, but we’re almost halfway through 2023. How is that even possible? I hear you cry. Well, I’m not entirely sure either. The last time I checked it was freezing cold outside and the sun went down at 3pm, but here we are with long, sunlit evenings and that sticky sheen of an early, muggy summer. Or at least it’s been quite clammy in the RPS Treehouse this month, as we’ve all been sweating over our favourite games of the year so far.

The Solidigm P44 Pro 2TB is down to $117 and rivals Samsung’s 990 Pro for speed

I’ve mentioned SK Hynix before, the flash memory giant that made Intel’s SSDs and is now making their own SSDs under the Solidigm brand. The Korean company has pursued an aggressive pricing strategy for these drives, and evidence of that is this latest deal on their flagship P44 Pro 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive.

The P44 Pro is now down to $117 at Newegg when you use code SSCT2827, a price that also includes a free mousepad – nifty. For context, the 2TB drive was selling for $150, making this a pretty tidy discount.

Badlands Crew takes Space Crew’s vehicular chaos into a Max Max-style post-apocalypse

Developer Runner Duck found success in 2017 with their strategy-management-roguelike hybrid Bomber Crew, a game about moving characters around a mid-flight warship to keep it in tip-top shape. The team’s follow-up Space Crew took the action to outer space, in an FTL-style twist. And now that on-the-fly vehicular mayhem is coming down to the ground in the newly announced Badlands Crew.

Aquatic RPG Dave The Diver comes out of early access today

Dave The Diver has launched in full today, leaving its early access shell behind. The game is a real platter of genres, mixing flavours of RPG, management sim, visual novel and more to create a unique kind of experience that made a real splash while it was in early access. Dave’s quite popular tenure in early access had three chapters to its name, but the full release takes that number up to seven alongside new weapons, areas, and features for the deep-sea-explorathon. Take a look at the new release trailer below.
