This is HyperSpace: Pirates of Atira, an upcoming co-op indie space game where players take control of different aspects of a starship and try to work together to keep everyone alive. This kind of thing has of course been tried before, but the division of labour here seems really cool!

This is New Cities, an upcoming city-builder for the PC with a strong focus on road networks and the economy. I really like the scale of it, those cities look enormous.

Return of the Obra Dinn will be out on PS4, Xbox One and Switch on October 18.

Forgetful Dictator, out later this week on Steam, looks like the greatest educational video game I never got to play at school. Dressed as a strategy game, you’re actually learning about geography, capital cities and flags while you fight a giant dinosaur (and your own lack of knowledge of the world around you).
