Shovel Knight is one of video game crowdfunding's biggest success stories.

Upon finally launching in summer 2014 (on Steam and the North American 3DS and Wii U eShop), the game surpassed the developer's lifetime sales estimate of 150k copies by shifting 180k copies in its first month on sale. And that was before it was ported to PlayStation platforms, Xbox One, and the European Wii U and 3DS eShops.

It's only been five years since Frictional Games unleashed Amnesia: The Dark Descent on unsuspecting PC gamers, revolutionising horror games in the process. Its combination of utter helplessness, disorientating sanity effects and physics-based interactions made for an experience that was unusually absorbing and truly scary. That it was light on story and simple in mechanics felt beside the point.

Batman: Arkham Knight has another Batmobile boot full of additional bits and pieces in the pipeline, including a new story DLC titled Catwoman's Revenge.

Once upon a time, not so long ago, Nvidia's GeForce GTX 980 was the fastest single-chip graphics processor on the market. And now, in a sense, it is again. This week, the company has announced that the GTX 980 has migrated across to the gaming laptop space, its hardware spec completed unaltered from its desktop iteration. According to the firm, a GTX 980 in the laptop form-factor is 35 per cent faster than the current performance king, the GTX 980M. Based on the hands-on benchmarking we carried out, the claims have merit.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate will both reward and scold players that overturn vehicles by shooting their horses.

"Wow them in the end" was screenwriting guru Robert McKee's mantra in Charlie Kaufmann's meta-masterpiece Adaptation. In real life, McKee's received as much criticism as he has acclaim, but I've always found that particular piece of advice his most sound. After all, how many movies have been acclaimed due to their final moments? From Citizen Kane to The Usual Suspects, that final shot can be what makes an incredible film.

Earlier this summer we covered Allison Road, a horror game that bore more than a passing resemblance to Kojima Productions' now defunct Silent Hills teaser, P.T. Now, that project has launched a Kickstarter campaign.

Monument Valley developer Ustwo Games' next title will be a VR-only experience called Land's End.

Try and shake the image of Czech no-fantasy role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance being a small indie thing. Yes it is crowdfunded, to a degree, but no it isn't small. We're talking about a handsome 3D game world powered by CryEngine 3, and about an experience at least 50 hours long, says Daniel Vavra, the man in charge. Deliverance has a 70-person team behind it. Vavra calls it "triple-A", which may be a little over the top, but the point is it's not far off.

Tokyo Game Show is done for another year, and it was another fascinating event - perhaps without the big headlines of 2014 that saw Final Fantasy 15 being announced, but with a breadth of new games that showed that, while mobile is still king, Japan is slowly coming around to the new generation of consoles.

I did not expect to get stuck on Panoramical. Panoramical isn't the kind of game anybody gets stuck on, right? It's a sort of prog rock album cover generator: you dial your way through strobing, warping, flickering environments looking for something you like the look of, and then you linger, soundtrack (by David Kanaga, the composer of Proteus) colliding with landscape. You can advance between templates - although templates is completely the wrong word; I should have said vistas - at the touch of a button, and you can zip back and forth using a level select screen - level is also the wrong word - that has a neat radial twist to it. There's no objective, so how could you possibly get stuck?

Writer Drew Karpyshyn has returned to BioWare. He left in 2012 - I interviewed him after his departure - to concentrate on his Chaos Born trilogy of fantasy books and, now that they're complete, he's decided to return.
