Official artwork and logo for the game Sable

In sharp contrast to the numerous action-adventures that task you with hacking and slashing your way through hordes of enemies, the freshly released Sable is all about exploring the world and soaking in the atmosphere. Instead of battles Sable will offer you a chance to customize and upgrade your hover bike, solve a bunch of puzzles and secrets, help an assortment of people you meet along the way, and naturally, try to figure out just what in the world happened to... well, the world!

Since the visuals and atmosphere are Sable's biggest draws, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. It should give you a pretty good idea of the sort of direction Sable has gone in. Have a look:

Diablo 2: Resurrected official artwork of Mephisto

If you're in the mood for a bit of a nostalgia trip, or perhaps your very first foray into Diablo 2, you'll be pleased to hear that Diablo 2: Resurrected has now arrived for PC and consoles.

Freedom Planet 2 official artwork and logo

Freedom Planet 2 was originally supposed to release at some point in 2018, but as you might imagine things didn't go exactly according to plan and so Freedom Planet 2 was repeatedly delayed. Quite a few years have gone by since then, but I'm pleased to say that Freedom Planet 2's long journey will soon be coming to a (hopefully glorious) end.

According to the newest update over at Twitter, GalaxyTrail have announced that Freedom Planet 2 will be unleashed in spring 2022. As far as launch platforms are concerned, only PC has been confirmed so far. That said, GalaxyTrail have already mentioned that they're interested in porting Freedom Planet 2 to consoles, so expect to see those versions at some point down the line as well.

Elex 2 official key art without the logo

As I mentioned throughout my review, the original Elex was a game of extremes, a game where absolutely brilliant ideas constantly intermingle with terrible or poorly executed ones. The bad never overwhelmed the good, however, and so the end result was a thoroughly enjoyable (and thoroughly janky) RPG experience, quite similar to Piranha Bytes' previous work on the Gothic and Risen series.

With that in mind, I'm very happy to say that Elex will 'soon' be getting a sequel. While I can't give you an exact release date just yet, I can at least help tide you over by sharing the recently posted preview that dives into Elex 2's world-ending storyline. Have a gander:
