Few video game companies hold such a personal connection to fans as Blizzard. Now, imagine how deep that connection runs if you worked there. For the many thousands of staff who sweated to build World of Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, Hearthstone and Overwatch, this company was their dream job, their social network, their life. And this is why change at the company - the slow creep of corporate influence and then the sudden rush of horrifying harassment stories - over the past few years has felt so impactful.

"But everyone was always focused on the Aliens experience, given its natural connection between aliens and shooting. We felt that if you could create a game that took you back to that feeling of being on the Nostromo, hunted by that first alien - that would be something else."

What's the true meaning of fantasy? Often it's synonymous with magic, fairies, and dragons; tales of heroism and drama; vast, elaborate worlds that defy the impossible. Metaphor: ReFantazio gives us all of this, but Atlus goes deeper too. What is the real purpose of a fantasy story? Is it a metaphor for our own world? And what if a fantasy story centred on, of all things, a magical election?

Mobile and Mac users will soon be able to reel in Dredge, the rather sinister BAFTA-nominated fishing RPG from Black Salt Games.

Phoenix Springs doesn't so much start as awaken, adrift in a shimmering void of static to an only slightly discordant choral swell. And that's just the title screen. Developer and art collective Calligram Studio's debut project is an astonishingly assured piece of work, presenting a constantly, hypnotically churning world of loosely sketched lines, pitch-black shadows, and stark primary hues that's part queasy expressionist nightmare, part perpetually receding dream.

Even its protagonist's ever-present narration crackles and whispers as if broadcast through a transistor radio picking up a signal from another realm.
