Yakuza Kiwami 3 and a few love for the PC
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio head Masayoshi Yokoyama has so many good issues to say about PC gaming on this interview that I may need to comply with the lead of the various Yakuza-heads on the PC Gamer staff and get into them myself.
It’s fascinating to listen to that the founding concept of the sequence was “Japanese people making a game for Japanese people”—Yokoyama says it got here as a shock to him that the video games had been embraced globally.
Billie Bust Up
“Billie Bust Up” feels like a phrase improv performers would use to warm-up. Billie Bust Up Billie Bust Up Billie Bust Up. And is that an axolotl named Aristotle? Axolotl named Aristotle axolotl named Aristotle axolotl named Aristotle. (I’ll let Issy truly tell you what the game’s about.)
Awaysis
This trailer from 17-Bit Studios and Cult Games directs us to “taste the Awaysis,” however what’s the Awaysis? I could not inform ya! Justin’s acquired extra on it right here.
Enter the Moomin
I assume I missed Moomin rising up within the US, as a result of I needed to look them up when Snufkin Melody of Moominvalley was introduced, after which once more this 12 months once I heard about Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth. They are very popular Finnish trolls, I’ve gathered—there is a theme park in Japan, even! Anyway, the sport seems beautiful.

Get ’em, Minotaur
If you ask me, Theseus ought to take his spool of thread and go see if he can work out whether or not or not his ship is similar ship it was, and depart the Minotaur alone. Go slap round ol’ King Minos for those who’re mad concerning the human sacrifices! Glad to see the Minotaur take charge here.
Hey, it is little Alex Horne!
This genuinely startled me. Even the US facet of PC Gamer has been whiling away the 2020s watching the UK’s Taskmaster, and I wasn’t ready for a Horne look right here. He’s voicing a personality in upcoming adventure game Earth Must Die alongside a bunch of different British expertise—you’ll be able to see the trailer on YouTube.
