While many have forgotten about MindsEye following its disastrous launch last year, Build A Rocket Boy developers have spent the last few months hard at work, trying to salvage it and betting big on what worked while fixing what didn't as well as possible.
Maybe you're intimately familiar with Fleischer Studios' 1930s cartoon classics; maybe your knowledge pretty much begins and ends with Studio MDHR's glorious 2017 video game homage, Cuphead. Either way, you'll immediately know what Mouse P.I. for Hire is going for, and developer Fumi Games pretty much nails the "rubber hose" look. This is black-and-white era Fleischer meets 1940s detective noir; and there's even a bit of old-school Disney thrown in, given the seedy world of Mouse P.I. - Mouseberg - looks like it's populated by long lost, down-on-their-luck relatives of early days Mickey.
A potentially major security flaw has been discovered in Arc Raiders, according to a security blogger, that could put private Discord messages, friends list information and more at risk for players. Embark Studios has informed players it is "conducting a deeper audit" into the problem.

Marathon, the sci-fi extraction shooter from Bungie, released yesterday on PC and consoles and, while still the same core experience as the popular Server Slam, a few bugs have crept into the full launch.

Nintendo has announced another Direct dedicated to its upcoming film sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
I'd wager my first vivid memory of Resident Evil is probably - if you're of a certain age at least - pretty similar to yours. First floor, east wing, sudden pant-soiling cacophony. Need I say more? Admittedly, it's a close call between that and the indelible image of the series' very first zombie slowly turning its decomposing face to camera, but either way, there's no denying that 1996's Resident Evil was a formative game. I don't, admittedly, remember too much else about it, except it was the first time I'd played anything that felt genuinely scary - or at least, capable of instilling the kind of relentless, sweaty palmed panic I hadn't even imagined games could do back then. And it's been a wild Resident Evil ride ever since; so 30 years on - after countless reinventions - I can think of few series more deserving of a victory lap like the one we've just had in Resident Evil Requiem (naturally, some spoilers will follow...).
