Welcome to another helping of Digital Suffering! Your hosts Phantom Limb and Steven Something get started on 'Greedfall', an action RPG set in a fantasy 17th century, that puts us in mind of... Dragon's Dogma?

Following on from that, we look at 'Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey', a survival game that's a step above others in the genre. Need fire? Then you'll have to discover it! Want a weapon? Then you'll have to invent the pointy stick! Survive 8 million years to win!

The delayed-but-now-coming-this-October 'Concrete Genie' garners our attention next. An action platformer where you rejuvenate a decaying town with a magic paintbrush, it practically screams 'Okami'. The visuals are lush but with a projected 5-6 hour playtime, we are rightfully concerned about replayability as well as longevity. With any luck, it will be priced accordingly.

We wrap things up with a peek at 'Indivisible', a 2D platformer with RPG-styled battles and graphics that make my anime-sense tingle, which leads on to a lengthy discussion about gaming tropes and level transitioning.

Suffer on!
