Combining real-time and turn-based combat in a single game is incredibly challenging because these two styles are fundamentally different. Turn-based combat involves carefully choosing actions from a menu while opponents wait, whereas real-time combat is fast-paced and features constant, simultaneous action. They offer very different experiences.
I’m really excited about this new game, Silver Pines. It’s a side-scrolling survival horror set in a town of the same name, and it’s coming out later this year. From what I’ve seen on its Steam page, it looks like it’s mixing really dark, psychological horror with this weird, unsettling vibe – kind of like Twin Peaks or Alan Wake, but with a touch of Silent Hill thrown in. What’s cool is that it’s the first game from a new developer, Wych Elm, even though it’s being published by Team17. Honestly, that makes it even more interesting because it’s a total unknown – unlike a lot of horror games on Steam where you pretty much know what you’re getting.
I’ve been diving deep into the lore, and it’s incredible! It seems the Imu actually go way back to the Void Century – they were the ones who fought and beat Joy Boy, and that’s how they established the World Government’s total control. They’re presented as almost god-like, and honestly, their power seems to match that image. But here’s the really interesting part: they are still human, and they’re definitely afraid of something. We saw it when Joy Boy’s Haki hit them, and it’s clear there are others out there who also make them nervous. It’s a fascinating weakness for such a seemingly absolute power!
Although today’s games often push for cutting-edge graphics and fast action, many players still enjoy older, more classic styles. Some prefer games that emphasize strategy and careful thinking over quick reflexes. Interestingly, a lot of new games are actually inspired by the past, intentionally using old-school visuals, gameplay mechanics, or the spirit of beloved franchises. This allows veteran gamers to recapture the nostalgia of their first gaming experiences, while also offering a unique experience for newer players.

Recently, the voice actor for Resident Evil 5 shared a puzzling message online, sparking rumors that a Resident Evil 5 Remake would be announced on the series’ 30th anniversary.
