This Week In Video Games 5/4/26 — 5/8/26

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

The time has passed right along, and we are at the end of yet another week with so many video games dropping and getting updates. We even had a few hit us up out of nowhere to get us all further excited for #HTRDeathwish and now #WTARageborn. Not video games I was expecting this week when it started with #ControlResonant. Again, not a bad thing, but we did not plan for so much fun and also getting our #MousePIForHire review out there in the wild. These are all great things, just none of them could have been perfectly planned behind the scenes over here. I will stop with all of that and just move right along.

 

Review — Mouse: P.I. For Hire

We sit down and review Mouse: P.I. For Hire. A new rubber-hose animated title that offers a noir investigation. Here is our review of #Mouse.

We are finally on the case out there, with the launch of #MousePIForHire for the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, #Switch2, and #PC. A title that started as a basic little proof of concept so very long ago, and now Fumi Games has it on the market so we can see if that concept truly pans out. That is the concept of a detective noir-setting game, where all the animation follows the rubber-hose style of the 1920s and 1930s. Mouse: P.I. For Hire is not the first to give that a try, but it does feel as if it is the first one to take us into the era with the story and setting. That all said, how does it all hold up? That is why we are back here with another review for you all to take in, along with a lot of gameplay to see if it will vibe with you. Let us drop into the investigation of it all right now.

 

Survive, Build, & Dominate With The New Features In Conan Exiles Enhanced

Things are getting further enhanced in Conan Exiles, with a new & free version launching with #ConanExiles Enhanced

It is crazy to think that it has been eight years since #Conan Exiles landed out there, but it has. A fun little title that took the IP further and allowed Funcom to offer us all a survival game in this fantasy setting. Even though it had some rough edges when it dropped, and a lot of silliness that came out of those years, they stuck with it and kept the title going. A nice little way to show how it can also be a survival game in the real world. All of that said, it looks as if the fun does not stop there, as we now have a launch for a new version of the game. On May 8th, for the PC, Conan Exiles Enhanced will be there for all to experience and see how the time and effort have been pushed to bring this one into a modern gaming state. The best part is that it is free for those who have been enjoying the game up to now.

 

Control Resonant Walks Us A Bit Further Into A Paranaturally Warped Manhattan

Head further behind the scenes for Control Resonant to see how different the world will be from the one of #Control

There has been a whole lot of focus, as of late, on the location that we are going to be flying around in when #ControlResonant lands on the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC. In fairness, Remedy has been fairly forthcoming about the fact that we are hitting the streets and getting to take on all of the creatures and factions in Manhattan. Not the most ideal place for us to be able to save the world, but it falls in line with what Control has given us up to now. This is why it is fun to have another look behind the scenes for the game to see just how the team is warping it into the game world, as well as show us all the various things we are going to need to fend off along the way. Let us have a look and see how this has been done, so we can get further hyped up for the game’s release this year.

 

This Week In Video Games 4/27/26 — 5/1/26

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

We are back, and we were able to get so many fun video games and non-video games covered this week. Even if some of the non-games were the new #ResidentEvilMovie and the upcoming #MortalKombatMovie, which look to be what fans have been waiting for. In addition to all of that, though, we had some updates for #Bloodlines2 and quite a bit more for Clive Barker’s #Hellraiser: Revival to take in out there. Along with many other video games, getting some highlights to urge us all to give them a shot out there. All after a bit of a break that had to be taken for one reason or another. Not many more of those are coming, so we will leave it all at that for now.

 

Many Things Are Getting Unearthed With The Launch Of Inner Voice

It is time to quiet your Inner Voice with the recent launch of the horror title #InnerVoice on the PC

It is time to give in to your Inner Voice and pick up the title that has launched with the same name. A title that X Interactive and Dionous Games have been toiling away on for the #PC to give us another first-person horror experience. There are many, but this one seems to have us being led around by a mysterious voice in our head. Given that there are a good number of people out there who do not have an Inner Voice, any voice in the head would be mysterious. Toss in a dash of psychological horror and weird settings, and we have the makings of a solid title to experience. If you need more, though, we have a little more to sell you on the title that can be picked up as soon as you are done reading all of these words, watching the videos, and listening to the voice in your head to give it a try.

 

A New Era Of Evil Is On The Way With The New Resident Evil Movie

A teaser trailer for Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil movie is here, and it looks like it is bringing the horror back into #ResidentEvil

We all knew it was coming after a solid run of films, and now we are here with the first look at Zach Cregger’s take on the Resident Evil franchise. I mean, there is more behind this film, but Mr. Cregger is the one they are billing to help it stand out from the last run of films that the IP went through. Many of them are bad, and a few okay ones are sprinkled in. Thankfully, this #ResidentEvilMovie is not leaning into any of that, and is set as something completely original, just with the setting of the IP to help drive it. That sounds very promising, and has been since the rumors started to circulate, but now we get to see it in action. Well, we have the first teaser trailer for the film to see in action, and will have to wait until September 18th to get the final judgement out there.
