I've seen much more of 1666: Amsterdam, and the witchy game by the creator of Assassin's Creed has some surprising ideas

1666: Amsterdam returned to the public eye this year after a protracted 15 year conception that involved legal battles, rewritten concepts, secret publishers, and finally: an actual game.

1666: Amsterdam Preview: Janky, Frustrating, But Promising

1666: Amsterdam wowed during its Summer Game Fest reveal. Hell, the fact that it wasn’t the Assassin’s Creed Hexe trailer we thought it might be from the first few frames only made me more excited, as it promised a witchy story outside of Ubisoft’s infamous open world formula.

I Finally Understand The Beautiful Agony Of Playing Bad Video Games

Someone's head is killing me in Memoirium, a PSX-styled soulslike about battling through bizarre dreamscapes and decorating your bedroom

I don’t know whose dreams Memoirium warps into action-RPG soulslike levels - it may not even be the player character’s - but whoever they are, they need to lay off the post-10pm Babybels. Besides being filled with chair-wielding thugs and hornfaced monsters, this blocky sleeprealm is lousy with the kind of...
