In a showcase that also debuted gameplay for a new Star Wars game and an Avatar FPS, I didn’t expect to come away from Ubisoft’s not-E3 show thinking about how gorgeous 9th century Baghdad looks in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, how immediately charming of a protagonist Basim is, and his weirdly OP ability to teleport.

Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big. Four years later, its successor Inkbound’s launch from Early Access was looking more like Sandwich Big.I’m not just saying that because of the mountain of lamb and eggplants I ate while meeting with developer Shiny Shoe over lunch, to feel out what the aftermath of releasing a game looks like in 2024. I mean, have I thought about that sandwich every day since? Yes. But also, the indie team talked frankly about the struggle of luring Monster Train’s audience on board for its next game.
