If you visit the Steam page for Starry Studio’s Once Human, it tells you this is an open-world survival action game. There are MMO elements, but also some bits of horror and base-building (the 3D Platformer tag is probably a troll, so ignore that). It outlines the post-apocalyptic setting, where a mysterious substance called Stardust has infected every living creature. Still, it doesn’t tell you that you glide Breath of the Wild-style on a dark raven or summon a motorcycle to get around while listening to The Beach House by Space Doves.

A teen severed his spinal cord — and may never regain the use of his hands or feet — while trying to leap into a swimming pool to avoid a wasp, according to his family. SJ Williams, 13, was playing at a community pool in Old Orchard Park near his home in Little Elm, Texas, on June 20 when he was startled by the insect. As he neared the edge of the pool, the teen either attempted to dive or performed a head-first flip into the water — but ended up landing hard in the shallow end of the pool....

Silent Hill, Siren, and Gravity Rush creator Keiichiro Toyama and his team at Bokeh Game Studio are set to deliver a new horror title in the form of Slitterhead later this year, though even a passing glance at the game is enough to tell you that it is not looking like a traditional genre experience, instead adopting an action-horror approach revolving around a unique body-swapping mechanic. Interestingly enough, if things had gone a little differently, Slitterhead would have also been an open world experience on top of that.

Flock joins Annapurna’s growing catalog of “personal, emotional, and original” games, conjuring similar emotions as The Outer Wilds and even Stray. With Flock, Hollow Ponds and Annapurna have crafted a meditative explorative experience punctuated by impressionistic visuals and plenty of charm. As the title implies, you document and charm various creatures into following you. Flock doesn’t boast rich worldbuilding and a deep narrative, but there’s still an overarching goal, namely to fill Aunt Jane’s Creature Guide and gather whistles used to collect creatures. It’s a game all about exploring and documenting wildlife at your own pace; it’s about the journey, not the destination.
