Windrose , an open-world co-op pirate action-adventure game, has accrued over one million wishlists so far, even though it doesn't even have a set release date. Its comprehensive demo seems to have captivated such a broad audience that folks just can't get enough, and having tried it out myself, I kind of see why. Windrose 's demo came out on Feb. 17. Since then, droves of players have hopped on to check what it's all about, discovering an incredibly fun and deep survival crafting experience set during the Golden Age of Piracy, i.e., sometime during the early 18th century. At its core, Windrose is very reminiscent of Valheim . Hell, it'd be difficult to determine if they were made by different people.

Saints Row is one of those franchises that just about anyone who has played video games knows. It's a staple of the olden days, especially its second entry. However, following the abject failure of its revival and the closure of the studio that made it, many believed, myself included, that Saints Row was done for good. Hope remained in the period following, though, that the franchise could still be saved. Well, according to the original Saints Row 's design director, Chris Stockman, the series is probably "dead." As posted by X user papaRPG , Stockman remarked on the state of Saints Row in a Discord exchange with a fan. During the conversation, he bluntly said that he believes the series is probably never coming back. "Honestly, I think the franchise is dead," he wrote. "I get the sense that Embracer has zero ability to do anything with it." "I wish things were different. I tried my best to offer a path forward, but they ghosted me,...
