Graham said to me earlier today, “you’ve got a real soft spot for chintzy big swing fantasy”, and what can I say? The man is correct. Hence, though I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in open world survival crafting games like yerValheimsand what have you, I cocked my head like a dazzled magpie at theGamescomrelease date trailer forNightingale. It’s the chintzy big swing fantasy (okay, Victoriana urban fantasy but it still counts) coming from Aaryn Flynn-founded studio Inflexion Games. And it’s coming to an early access releasenear youon February 22nd next year.

For all thatEddersandCJ (RPS in peace)have written about Nightingale before, and for all that it sounds like exactly the sort of game that I would hate to actually play, at least this has goddamnstyle, at least this is actually doing something - which is more than you can say for a lot of glitzy games I see cross Geoff’s cursed stage. Games can do anything, and for Inflexion that includes Rococo Mr. Tumnus. I can only respect the hell out of them for it. I will get it and play it for exactly an hour, before getting upset at survival crafting all over again. That will be, as aforementioned, February 22nd 2024, onSteamand theEpic Games Store.
