1st February

Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing this week. This week, we hunker down from storms and pray for the safety of our tiles in Dawnfolk; we put a full-stop on Resident Evil Village but find ourselves ruminating on the fate of chickens; and we return to No Man’s Sky yet again, as it expands, yet again.

What have you been playing?

Catch up with the older editions of this column in our What We’ve Been Playing archive.

Dawnfolk demo, PC

Dawnfolk is a wonderfully oppressive citybuilding game that a good friend of Eurogamer recommended to me. It’s tile-based and has a lovely pixelly aesthetic. It pretends to be a normal citybuilder, but is actually something a little darker and more interesting.
