This game is a one-click parkour title developed and published by monome.studio. It’s a fast-paced game where you must navigate through treacherous underground tunnels on an uncharted planet after crash-landing.
Key features include:
Minimalist Gameplay: The core mechanics are simple, relying on a single mouse click to propel and sling yourself forward with a grapple hook and thrusters. The challenge comes from mastering this simple control scheme to achieve high speeds.
Speedrunning Focus: The game is built for speedrunners and features online leaderboards for every level, encouraging competition and replayability.
Colossal Predators: You’re not alone in the tunnels. Giant worms will chase you, making each escape a desperate race.
This Is No Cave has a demo available now on Steam and is set to release on October 17, 2025.
Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset is an upcoming virtual and mixed reality experience developed by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and Lucasfilm. The game is set to launch on October 7, 2025, exclusively for the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S headsets.
This new title is designed to blend the digital and physical worlds, allowing players to interact with the Star Wars universe in a new way. It features three distinct gameplay modes:
Adventure Mode: This mode offers a new narrative experience, set during the era of the Empire. Players take on the role of Volo Bolus, an up-and-coming podracer who is mentored by the legendary Sebulba. The story combines fully immersive virtual reality scenes with moments that integrate with the player’s real-world surroundings.
Arcade Mode: This mode focuses on fast-paced podracing. It transforms your physical space into a virtual “holotable” where you can race a podracer from a top-down perspective. This mode is designed for replayability with multiple paths and power-ups.
Playset Mode: This is the core mixed reality component of the game, appealing to the nostalgia of playing with Star Wars action figures. In this sandbox mode, players can use unlockable digital figures, vehicles, and props to create and stage their own scenes in their real-world environment. The digital models can be resized, posed, and even used as a virtual remote-controlled car.
The game also features a voice cast that includes Fin Argus, Greg Proops, Lilimar Hernandez, Lewis MacLeod (reprising his role as Sebulba), and Bobby Moynihan.
Star Wars: Beyond Victory is a significant step for ILM’s immersive storytelling, building on their previous work with titles like Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series and Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge.
“Space Engineers: Apex Survival” is a major free update for the game Space Engineers, which launched on September 8, 2025. This update is centred around overhauling and expanding the survival mechanics of the game, making it a more challenging and immersive experience.
Here are some of the key features introduced in the Apex Survival update:
Food and Farming: A new food system has been added. Players must now manage their hunger by finding, hunting, or growing food. You can forage for wild plants, hunt animals for meat, and cultivate crops using new blocks like Farm Plots, Algae Farms, and Irrigation Systems. A Food Processor block is used to craft more advanced and nutritious meals from various ingredients.
Environmental Hazards: The world of Space Engineers is now more dangerous. The update adds a variety of environmental threats, including:
Radiation: This can come from multiple sources, such as damaged reactors, certain planetary atmospheres, and unique storms. There are new ways to combat radiation, including a special Anti-Radiation Med Kit.
Overhauled Weather: Weather effects are no longer just cosmetic. They can now directly impact your survival. For example, caustic rain can damage players, extreme temperatures drain suit energy, and electric storms can be both a source of radiation and damage.
Reworked Meteors: Meteors no longer directly target grids. Instead, they pass through the area, adding a new atmospheric and visual element to the game.
Meaningful Death and Buffs: The update introduces consequences for dying. A new world option called “Reduced Stats on Respawn” will start your character at just 20% health and other vitals, making death something to actively avoid. Conversely, a new “Survival Buffs” system rewards players who stay alive, granting them powerful bonuses over time.
New Random Encounters: The update includes 30 new, handcrafted random encounters to replace the older ones. These new scenarios are designed to be more dynamic and unique, providing fresh opportunities for exploration and challenges.
New Blocks: The free update comes with new blocks for the base game, including the Farm Plot, Food Processor, and various farming-related items.
Apex Survival Pack (DLC) Alongside the free update, Keen Software House released the Apex Survival Pack as a paid DLC. This pack is purely cosmetic and offers a collection of decorative blocks to help players build more immersive and visually appealing survival outposts. The pack is not “pay to win,” and owning it does not give you any gameplay advantage over other players. It includes items such as:
New variants of tools (Welder Type II, Grinder Type II, Drill Type II)
“KARMA: The Dark World” is a first-person cinematic psychological thriller video game developed by Pollard Studio and published by Wired Productions.
Game Overview:

Gameplay: The core gameplay revolves around exploration, observation, and puzzle-solving. It’s a narrative-driven experience that uses its surreal and shifting environments to build a sense of unease and dread.
Visuals & Sound: The game is built on Unreal Engine 5, with a focus on detailed visuals and effects. It also features a custom soundtrack and sound design that enhance the atmospheric horror.

Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a third-person mech-action game developed by Marvelous First Studio and a direct sequel to the 2019 title, Daemon X Machina. Released on September 5, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, the game marks a significant shift for the series by moving from mission-based stages to a more open-world structure.
Key Gameplay Features: Fast-Paced Action: The game replaces the bulky mechs of its predecessor with more nimble and agile “Arsenal” suits. This leads to a faster, more fluid combat experience with an emphasis on aerial dogfights and high-speed manoeuvres.
Deep Customisation: A central element of the gameplay is a robust customisation system. Players can loot parts and weapons from defeated enemies to create and fine-tune their mech. The game also includes cosmetic customisation, allowing for personalised armour appearance with decals and colour schemes.
Open World and Exploration: The game world is a vast, explorable wasteland where players can freely move on foot, fly through the skies, or even ride vehicles like a motorcycle or horse-like creatures. This open structure offers both main story missions and a variety of side activities, including a coliseum for one-on-one battles and hidden areas with rare loot.
Co-op Multiplayer: Players can team up with up to two friends online to take on the main story and the game’s “titanic” boss battles.
Loot and Progression: The core gameplay loop revolves around fighting enemies to acquire new parts and currency. The “Fusion” system allows players to alter their character’s genetics to unlock new skills and passive buffs, adding a layer of depth to character progression.
Story and Narrative: The story is set hundreds of years after the original game and follows a new protagonist, a pilot fighting for a human resistance group against a military regime of “Outers” (mutated humans). The narrative is fully voice-acted and is designed to be accessible to new players.
