2D is back, and Mayday: The Survival Island proves it

Mayday: The Survival Island brings hand-drawn 2D survival to Steam. Here’s why it’s fun and where to buy it for less than $11.19 until Nov 16.
For a while, it felt like every big release had to chase photorealism. But look at what players have actually been hooked on lately: Hollow Knight: Silksong, Mina the Hollower, and a steady stream of pixel-art indies climbing the Steam charts. Clearly, 2D isn't "retro" anymore. It's just good game design without the fluff.
The latest one to wash ashore is Mayday: The Survival Island, which hit Steam on November 2. It comes from Pequi Studios, a three-person team from...

The Wolf Among Us Remastered arrived on October 29, 2026, and it is being sold with a genuinely clever launch plan: a $24.99 price tag, a 20% new-player discount until November 12, and a 50% loyalty discount for anyone who already owns the 2013 original. Just as interesting is what this release represents. Narrative-driven, episodic adventures were written off when Telltale shut down in 2018 — but AdHoc Studio's Dispatch proved the formula still works, and now the remastered Bigby...
