If your life's been lacking a bit of colour lately, have no fear: developer Frozenbyte's acclaimed co-op platforming series Trine is back for a sixth outing, and once again it's the aesthetic equivalent of a Dulux catalogue.

It's somehow been seven years since Yooka-Laylee's last proper adventure (I'm not sure 2025's remake, as enjoyable as it was, entirely counts), but the bat and lizard duo are finally back, and this time in a brand-new form. Yes, those recent leaks were right: we're in for some classic SNES-style kart racing action when the now-officially announced Super Yooka-Laylee Kart arrives for PC at some currently undisclosed future time.
Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little about the games we've been playing. This week, Bertie and Connor break the rules slightly, but it's okay because Bertie organises What We've Been Playing and Connor regularly contributes to it, so they both get a pass. Elsewhere, believes again that another game has been tailormade for them - I'm beginning to sense a pattern - and Hitman fan Kelsey rolls credits on Bond and gets a bit emotional.

Summer Game Fest's glitzy flagship showcase might be over for another year, but that doesn't mean we're done just yet - far from it! There'll be more bluster to come on Sunday when Microsoft shares its wares during the Xbox Games Showcase, for instance (unless its new executive team has capitulated to internet fanboys once again, in which case there's a good chance it'll be called the LOLPLAYSTATIONSUX Showcase), but first - like the zen meat in a chaos sandwich - Day of the Devs has done its thing once more.
It's finally happening, apparently. After a protracted and extremely tumultusous decade of development, The Wolf Among Us 2 is supposedly now launching next year. And there's a remaster of the much-loved original on the way to tide us over until then.

There are, after a good few hours playing it, quite a few games like Control Resonant. It's an RPG with a kind of pseudo open-world - an "open-ended modern world" I believe was Remedy's way of putting it in its presentation to the press earlier this week - and it has skill trees and some light resource-gathering and item-upgrading. It has some light platforming with a double-jump and a dash, and melee combat with perfect dodges and aerial combos.
Crossfire was revealed today during Summer Game Fest's opening ceremony. This is the debut title from That's No Moon, an independent studio featuring key talent behind the 2019 Modern Warfare reboot's campaign, and Naughty Dog before that.
