Dispatch opens with an irresistible twist on the superhero formula. After a career-ending defeat, former mech-suited hero Robert Robertson finds himself behind a desk rather than on the front lines – working at a dispatch center for the very heroes he once fought alongside. What unfolds is a sharp blend of satire and sincerity, exploring what it means to stay heroic when stripped of power and status. The writing captures this tension with wit and empathy, turning mundane office chatter into moments of surprising humanity while poking fun at the bureaucracy of heroism itself.

They step out from the claymation shadows with all the slapstick charm you’d expect: Chicken Run: Eggstraction places the film-series’ familiar personalities into a family-friendly stealth romp that leans hard on Aardman’s comic timing and character work. The plot is straightforward – a rescue-and-escape setup that picks up the tone of the recent film – and it mostly serves as a thin stage for short, self-contained infiltration missions rather than a twisting narrative. The writing’s warmth and the recognizable voices do the heavy lifting in terms of personality, which means players who know the franchise will get more from the story beats than newcomers might.

Lessaria arrives as an earnest attempt to update Majesty’s old indirect-control formula for a modern audience, and that sense of purpose is the clearest thing the game carries into each mission. Rather than trading in twitch reflexes, its design keeps the player one step removed – shaping incentives, building economies and issuing costly orders while watching funded heroes go about their lives. That choice gives Lessaria a distinct identity: the fun comes from coaxing emergent moments out of a living world rather than micromanaging unit paths.

Double Dragon Revive brings the legendary brawler franchise back to life under the guidance of YUKE’S and Arc System Works, promising a modernized take on the 1980s classic. It revives the Lee brothers’ familiar journey through gang-ridden streets with updated 3D visuals and a smoother control setup tailored for current-gen consoles. The story remains intentionally simple, serving mainly as a backdrop for the action – a nostalgic loop of rescue missions, street fights, and escalating boss encounters that retain the flavor of the series’ arcade origins.

Developed and published by Pine Studio, Escape Simulator 2 builds upon the success of its predecessor with richer environments, more elaborate puzzles, and improved multiplayer functionality. The sequel’s three core room packs – Dracula’s Castle, Starship EOS, and The Cursed Treasure – highlight just how far the design philosophy has evolved. Each setting offers its own mechanical logic and visual tone, from gothic corridors shrouded in candlelight to futuristic metallic decks and tropical islands laced with traps. Beneath the variety lies a structure that feels both familiar and sharper, favouring interconnected clues over simple key-and-lock progressions. Continue reading “Escape Simulator 2 review (PC)”
