Saw: Genesis has a gnarly vision for asymmetrical multiplayer games, but the execution needs work – pun intended

With traps, minigames, and perks galore, the only thing missing from Saw Genesis is discipline

It’s Time I Let Go Of My Favorite Alien Isolation 2 Theory

Alien Isolation 2 stars a new protagonist named Blake. Creative Assembly has been clear about this all summer, but it's only now that I'm letting it sink in. Since I first played a demo of the survival-horror game at Summer Game Fest's Play Days this past June, I've been holding onto a theory that Blake's role in the story is a bait-and-switch--that in short order Blake would be impaled by the Xenomorph and Amanda Ripley, star of the first game, would show up as the real playable character. But it's time I let go of that pet theory of mine. Every time Creative Assembly talks about this game, the team highlights Blake's story. There's too much investment on the team's end for me to keep believing they have a trick up their sleeve. "What I can say is the story focuses on Blake," principal environment artist Archie Whitehead told GameSpot's Miri Teixeira on the Gamescom showfloor following a hands-on demo. "She's been sent to the colony. If you watch the trailer , you see this, like she's been sent there kind of as penance, like she's made a mistake." It's just the latest in a series of confirmations that my theory about Ripley is all wrong. I can see that now. The team told me something similar during Summer Game Fest, but I guess I was too worried about letting them pull a fast one on me to see it. I wanted to spot the twist before it was on-screen. For what it's worth, I had this same theory about Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan back in 2018, and that wasn't exactly true--though I guess it was eventually sort of true. It's not that I'd necessarily enjoy Alien Isolation 2 more if Amanda Ripley were the playable character again. It's not that I think this makes the game better in some obvious way. I could see this sequel being memorable with or without her in the driver's seat like that, so I've always been on board for Blake as the protagonist if it shook out that way; I just doubted she actually would be. But today, after hearing it for the third or fourth time this summer, I'm ready to drop my baseless theory. Having said that, I do still find it extremely likely Ripley is in this game in some important way. She seemed to narrate the demo I played, and I don't expect that's all they brought her voice actor in for. Whether it's by audio logs, narration, or perhaps she shows up in the flesh, the daughter of Ellen--arguably horror's greatest Final Girl--will be back, but I'm telling myself to get comfy with Blake. I'm looking forward to getting to know her better, as her life will certainly be in my hands when Alien Isolation 2 arrives in 2027.

Turn-Based-Tactics Fans Are Suddenly Eating Very Well

The XCOM series has been effectively on hiatus for many years now, and AAA turn-based-tactics games have been pretty hard to come by recently. That's changing, however, starting with this week's launch of Star Wars Zero Company . It's effectively a marriage of classic XCOM gameplay and Clone Wars-era Star Wars storytelling, and within a few minutes of starting it, I got that same rush of excitement I got the first time I played an XCOM game. Typically, I try to savor turn-based tactical experiences like this as much as possible, because I know it's going to be at least a few years before something like it comes along again. The last XCOM-esque turn-based-tactics game I can even recall playing was Classified: France '44 , which released well over two years ago. I enjoyed that one so much that I considered just starting it over again, because there wasn't really anything else like it releasing at the time. But no longer! As part of Gamescom Opening Night Live , Ubisoft revealed Rainbow 6 Tactics . Ditching the first-person-shooter gameplay the series is famous for, Rainbow 6 Tactics is a single-player tactical experience that plays out like a turn-based version of Rainbow Six Siege. You scout enemy positions using drones and then launch your attack, breaching walls and taking down enemies with precision and force. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRJOXB3euJQ It makes use of the destructible environments Rainbow Six Siege is famous for, but it's all wrapped up in a completely different genre. And just like Zero Company, Rainbow 6 Tactics will be available on Xbox and PS5 in addition to PC, giving it a wide audience when it arrives in 2027. And if you don't have an Xbox, a PS5, or PC, you're still not being left out of the fun as of late. Sure, it's also an RPG, but Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is certainly going to scratch that turn-based-strategy itch. Developer Intelligent Systems is arguably the king of the genre, and based on our hands-on preview of the game, it looks to be absolutely packed with content. There are four protagonists, each with their own stories, so this could be one you are playing for weeks or even months--hopefully just long enough for Rainbow 6 Tactics to be out. Patiently waiting our turn for the next XCOM-like or Fire Emblem game to release used to feel like a futile exercise, but I'm very excited for the future of sort-of-but-not-really-chess games right now. If others feel the same, we just need to show up and buy them so the genre can keep thriving … and maybe convince Take-Two to greenlight an XCOM 3. Pretty please?
