Reviews are posting for Cocoon, the new title from Geometric & Annapurna Interactive.

I see Metacritic as far as aggregators, starting at an 88.

Big praise for innovative exploration systems and brain-twisting aesthetics.

This is 100% on my list to play. Really exciting stuff. pic.twitter.com/VhLc7MZRcz

Heartbreaking to hear of more industry layoffs. 343 Industries is currently hiring a variety of roles on our @Halo development team. Visit the Microsoft Careers Site to learn more and apply: https://t.co/C6BERNAFrG

If only they were hiring for Halo Wars 3 it would be perfect, but I'm sure they are hiring for Halo Tatanka. I think the Hyena team was mostly made up of people from the Alien Isolation team rather than the Halo Wars team though anyway, so these laid off devs wouldn't have RTS experience.

As for Epic, I hear alot of the layoffs were from Mediatonic, the Fallguys studio, and probably a bunch from the Epic Game Store team since EGS is going nowhere.

not going to lie, I bet this triggers an even bigger wave of layoffs as other businesses react to this news

so many of the layoffs in tech/games at big companies feel like a signal to the rest of the industry about the direction they're driving it

Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond being one of the nicest people around signing a PlayStation 5 plate that a dude brought without any issues because is not about console wars, just people playing games and having fun.
