• Oxenfree is a stylish and at points genuinely creepy adventure game, who does teenage conversations right when it's not interrupting itself.
• The new game from Spacechem developer Zachtronics has hit early access. It's called Shenzhen I/O and if messing about with hardware programming is your thing, then you should check it out
• Being alone in space with an AI that you can actually text chat with makes Event[0] a really unique and effective storytelling mechanic
• Stardew Valley got a pretty big free update, and more content in that game can only be a good thing
• If you want to get into the mood for the sequel, Divinity: Original Sin is now even better now that it has had fixes and a whole lot of new voice work.
