Whats most impressive is that this doesntjustlook like more Lies of P, it is acting like adding loads.

Darwins Paradox!

My biggest surprise of the show was definitely Darwins Paradox!

Lies of P: Overture - Announcement Trailer - YouTube

It looks like a whole load of silly fun.

Im getting a huge Oddworld vibe from Darwins Paradox!

and thats a very complimentary comparison.

And they look seriously promising.

Even better, we also got a release date (September 4).

Unlike Returnal, it seems like Saros will be less of a roguelike with permanent progression between deaths.

However, the two titles will share the same gameplay-first experience.

Tides of Annihilation

I didnt initially know what to make of Tides of Annihilation.

One of the biggest draws for me is Tides of Annihilations setting of a distorted London.
