In my eyes, Bugsnax is possibly the strangest game to come out of PlayStation’s big announce-a-thon live stream last night. Made by Octodad creators, Young Horses, it’s a story-driven adventure game about an island (appropriately named Snaktooth) where all the creatures are half-bug, half-snack, and if you eat them your limbs will start to turn into various foods. It looks as weird as it sounds and I still don’t know what to think of the trailer, check it out for yourself below:

Howdy pardner. Spittoon? Take it, we got a whole crate of them right here. Every god-fearing outlaw needs a good spittoon at their heels, as my grandmammy used to say. Hoo-wee, what a women.

E3 be damned, the hottest thing in gaming right now is Itch’s Bundle For Racial Justice And Equality. The absolutely giant bundle tonight passed its fundraising goal of $5,000,000 and is still going, and it is still adding more games. Such as: hey, Pyre is in there now, the gorgeous sporting story from Bastion devs Supergiant. As I write, there are now 1637 items in the bundle. It is a phenomenal bargain for an excellent cause.

Superbrothers, the co-creators of Sword & Sworcery EP, today announced their next game, Jett: The Far Shore. It’s an open-world exploration game scouting an alien ocean planet with systemic immersive sim-y bits going on and ooh I am interested. This time they’re collaborating with Pine Scented and, pertinent to your interests: the gang also drafted design help from Randy Smith, a Thief veteran and the designer of Waking Mars. Do go on.

At the point of Sony’s E3 PlayStation 5 stream when it wasn’t yet clear if all the games were exclusive or what, up popped Goodbye Volcano High and we could just tell: this would be on PC too. A game about sad teenage dinosaurs? No way that’s not on PC. Sony, PC invented> sad teenage animal games. Lo and behold, developers Ko_op (of Gnog fame) have since confirmed that Goodbye Volcano High will be on PC too. Have a look:

A jolt of cute Zelda-y vibes came today during Sony’s notE3 stream with the announcement of Kena: Bridge Of Souls, due out later this year.

Perhaps the most enigmatic announcement in Sony’s PlayStation 5 stream was Pragmata, Capcom’s new… video game? I will be honest: I do not know what it is. Capcom are not saying what it is either. I can tell you it visits a city on the Moon (or a hologram of a city?), where something weird is going on. See for yourself in the trailer below.
