Tacoma is the next game from the team behind Gone Home, and it’s coming in 2016

Tacoma. That’s the title of the next game from The Fullbright Company, the small, Portland, Ore.-based team behind Digital Trends’ 2013 Game of the Year winner, Gone Home. The first trailer, which you can see above, doesn’t show a whole lot, but it does confirm one thing: Tacoma is due to arrive in 2016.

The remainder of the appropriately cryptic trailer features what appears to be an airlock door cycling open, revealing a spacious hallway featuring arched doorways, wood-and-brass trimmings, and a glass ceiling looking out on a star-filled sky. It’s also worth noting that, despite the brightly lit surroundings and lived-in atmosphere, gravity appears to be turned off.

The camera tracks slowly into the space, moving forward to focus on an etched-glass sign: “Welcome to Lunar Transfer Station Tacoma,” it reads, with the words “A Virgin-Tesla Facility” in smaller letters below.

Not much to go on there, but 2016 is a long way off. What’s more, Fullbright will probably keep a lot of key details held back all the way through if Gone Home is anything to go by.

You can sign up for future Tacoma updates on the game’s official website right here.

Sonic give a peace sign in an animation.

Netflix unveiled the lineup of games it plans to bring to its game catalog over the course of May. The ones that stand out the most are Sega's excellent Sonic Mania Plus and Askiisoft's violently satisfying action game Katana Zero.

Sonic Mania Plus is the definitive 2D Sonic game. Made by fan-game makers turned game developers, Sonic Mania Plus is equal parts a throwback to Sonic's Genesis games and a clever platformer for the modern day. It has been available on PC and consoles for years, but Netflix is finally giving players an official way to play it natively on mobile. Sonic Mania Plus is available through Netflix starting today, May 7.

All Incantations and how to unlock them in Hades 2
Melinoe fighting under a full moon in Hades 2.

You can't have a game where you play as a witch without a massive cauldron. Hades 2 places one front and center in the Crossroads, but it isn't just there for decorative purposes. Melinoë can use this big boiling pot of green liquid to bring new features into the game, whether it be between runs or during them, in exchange for various materials like Silver. You will only start out with a few Incantations, but doing more runs and getting further toward your goal of killing Chronos will gradually unlock more to create. There are far more than you might expect for an early access game. Here are all the Incantations and their recipes.
Every Incantation, effect, and recipe
The order in which you unlock Incantations in the menu can vary based on what you do and how you progress in Hades 2, so this list is in no particular order. Also, it is possible there are more we haven't been able to unlock yet, so we will update this list if we discover any more or if additional ones are added during early access.
