This Week In Video Games 5/11/26 — 5/15/26

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 can finally mark yet another week down as done, and we certainly had a lot to show off in the realm of video games. I mean, we did have a full play-through for #Directive8020 to share, along with the #review. Then toss in a bit of an update to #007FirstLight and #TheSinkingCity2 to keep us all rolling in the video games a bit longer. Not to mention to draw you all in for more of the indie titles and the announcement for #Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2. None of this was a dull moment over here, and now we all get to move into a bit of relaxation, and looking forward to the next week to take it all. The fun just never stops around here.

Do Not Be Afraid Of The Announcement Of The Talos Principle 3
 
Do Not Be Afraid Of The Announcement Of The Talos Principle 3

The Talos Principle is on its way back, with a new announcement and continuation by the way of #TheTalosPrinciple3

If you somehow thought you were free after escaping before, #TheTalosPrinciple 3 is on the way back to us to drive us to insanity with even more puzzles to solve. Yes, it looks as if Croteam still has more to show us and to tell us with this IP, and we are all going to have to solve even more next year. That is when The Talos Principle 3 is currently slated to land on the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC. That might be a little confusing for anyone reading this in the future, but maybe you will be able to pick up on the context clues to solve that little puzzle. A little appetizer before we dive into the bigger title that the team will have for us when it is ready.

Review — Directive 8020
 
Review — Directive 8020

We sit down and review Directive 8020. The next in the bigger Dark Pictures Anthology universe. Here is our review of #Directive8020.

We are finally able to launch into space with a new horror experience, as Directive 8020 has finally hit the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC in its full form. We had a chance to see all that Supermassive Games had to offer in this latest outing into The Dark Pictures Anthology to see if we can still scream in space. Well, a fictional space and future that we have yet to see out there in the real world. That is why we get titles like Directive 8020, so we can all fear the unknown and be ready to fight back if things do go sideways. Something that truly happens in the game, and now we are here with our #review to let you know if you should take flight with this experience, or let it sleep forever in the cryochambers that we will need to safely travel the universe out there and find these horrific aliens that we usually find in our sci-fi stories. #TheDarkPictures

Better Than Dead Fires Off The Early Access For Us All To Enjoy
 
Better Than Dead Fires Off The Early Access For Us All To Enjoy

The Early Access for Better Than Dead is finally here, and we can get a solid feel for what #BetterThanDead will be bringing us all

It is time to take aim and head into the world of bodycam video games, with Better Than Dead having its Early Access kicking off on the #PC. It is understandable if you have been lost in which one this is, but we will remind you that it is from Monte Gallo and MicroProse that we have seen in the past. Yes, a solo developer on this one, and it is looking to give us all the most realistic camera angle we can expect. As long as Better Than Dead pans out the way that we are all hoping that it will. We will have to see how this Early Access goes, and how it will be able to grow and shape from there. Those still not fully familiar with this one, well, let us dive a little further into what this version of the genre is going to be offering up out there.

The Sinking City 2 Tries To Contact Some New Gods With Some New Gameplay
 
The Sinking City 2 Tries To Contact Some New Gods With Some New Gameplay

The first look at the gameplay for The Sinking City 2 is here, and it looks to advance all we knew from #TheSinkingCity

After what felt like so much silence for #TheSinkingCity2, we are finally here to see some of the true gameplay we can expect in the game. Not that Frogwares has been completely silent about it all, but there has yet to be anything more than the pre-rendered cinematic to let us know that this sequel is in the works. Not even a little bit on how, or if, they were going to change much from the formula that seemed to work in The Sinking City the first time around. Now, it looks like those Elder Gods are blessing us all with a look that shows how it has evolved and what we are going to be seeing on the #PS5, #XboxSeriesX|S, and #PC this coming Summer. Let us all take a plunge into it all right now.

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
 
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.
