In this roundup, we take a look at three recent ports making their way to new platforms.

Biped 2 preview (Gamescom)
The original Biped was a charming surprise when it launched, mixing inventive movement mechanics with cooperative puzzle-solving in a way that stood out among co-op adventures. Now, developer NEXT Studios and publisher Owlcat are back with Biped 2, aiming to expand the formula with new environments, mechanics, and multiplayer options. We went hands-on with the game during Gamescom, and while the sequel already feels familiar, it also pushes the concept in fun new directions. Continue reading “Biped 2 preview (Gamescom)”
Zero Parades preview (Gamescom)
When ZA/UM announced their new project (as C4) earlier, curiosity spiked immediately. This is, after all, the first major project to follow in the wake of Disco Elysium, a game that redefined what narrative role-playing could look like. But while comparisons are inevitable, the team is positioning Zero Parades as its own beast – a bleak, espionage-driven RPG that blends John le Carré’s paranoia with Philip K. Dick’s unsettling visions of fractured identity. At Gamescom, we had the chance to sit down with members of the ZA/UM team to hear more about their upcoming title, and what we saw was both familiar and strikingly different.

Herdling review (PS5)
A mountain trek with beasts as companions is a striking departure even for Okomotive, and Herdling makes that unusual premise the core of its identity. Published by Panic, the PlayStation 5 version blends elements of travelogue, puzzle adventure, and survival-lite mechanics into something meditative yet occasionally tense. Like the studio’s FAR titles, it’s wordless and atmospheric, but the twist of guiding and protecting a herd of “Calicorns” introduces fresh dynamics – for better and for worse.

Outlaws + Handful of Missions Remaster preview (Gamescom)
The 1990s gave us a wave of experimental shooters, but Outlaws was one of the rare titles that dared to mix fast-paced FPS action with the cinematic flair LucasArts had perfected in its adventure games. Nearly three decades later, Nightdive Studios is bringing the cult classic back in a polished remaster. With updated visuals, modern controls, and multiplayer support, it’s a chance for both old fans and curious newcomers to revisit (or finally discover) a western shooter that stood apart from its peers.
