Breakfirst Games returns with How 2 Escape: Lost Submarine, a follow-up to their clever asymmetric co-op puzzler we reviewed earlier, and once again the formula leans hard into communication, logic, and tension – only now with higher stakes and deeper water. Published by Maximum Entertainment, this sequel keeps the two-screen design intact, where one player explores an environment on console while the other assists via a companion app, this time navigating a submerged military crisis aboard a silent, torpedo-armed submarine.

After TRON: Identity introduced players to Bithell Games’ vision of Disney’s digital universe, TRON: Catalyst aims to expand that vision with a more action-oriented spin. Developed by Bithell and published by Devolver Digital, this new entry trades dialogue-driven investigation for dynamic combat, a broader narrative scope, and a more traditional gameplay structure. The result is a stylish and intriguing experience that captures the feel of TRON, even if its ambitions sometimes outpace its execution. Continue reading “TRON: Catalyst review (PS5)”
