The highlights of the week
Forspoken
In Forspoken you play the heroine Frey Holland: an ordinary girl who gets stranded in the threatening fantasy world Athia and gains superhuman powers there. With her magical abilities, Frey must now free the four kingdoms of the land from a plague.
In the trailers so far, Forspoken looks opulently staged – but shortly before the release, scepticism is growing. A number of gaming websites and YouTube channels have not received review codes, the PC version has apparently not been released for testing at all, although the embargo on testing ends today. It seems that after games like CoD Modern Warfare 2 and Warhammer 40k: Darktide, the next launch with major technical problems is waiting for us. Read more about this in our pre-release test based on the PS5 version!
Have now heard from (or about) 7 major outlets/reviewers who did not get review code for this. As always, no outlet is entitled to code but this ”limited code” is a huge red flag. I also haven”t heard of any outlet having access to PC code yet (but can”t confirm this). https://t.co/XXAs3MYgxE

Dead Space Remake
Genre: Horror/Shooter – Developer: Motive – Release: January 27 (get the game on Steam)
In Dead Space Remake experience the first eerie adventure of 2008 space engineer Isaac Clarke, here he embarks alone aboard the USG Ishimura spaceship. What at first looks like a simple repair job soon turns into a nightmare come true.
The crew has disappeared off the face of the earth, and instead the entire ship is teeming with vicious monsters called Necromorphs – and the only way to fight them is for Isaac to dismantle them into their individual parts with his plasma cutter. In addition to contemporary graphics, you can also expect new game mechanics and many other improvements in the remake, including in the story.
