Thigh-Powered Melodies: The Unique Rhythm Game Taking Steam By Storm

Momo Crash, developed by SKOOTA GAMES, is an unconventional rhythm action game featuring an anime art style centered around the theme of "thighs x music." Players score points by timing moves to pinch musical notes between the thighs of three unique heroines: Dia, Seika, and Hikaru. With its bold concept, striking visuals, and humorous tone, the game offers a distinctive take on rhythm mechanics. A free trial version is available ahead of Steam Next Fest (June 9–17), allowing players to experience all characters before the full release in summer 2025. Future updates will include a story mode, extra tracks, and more content. Despite controversy over its intense thigh focus, Momo Crash aims to deliver a fun and engaging experience.

Principal Cinematic Lighting Artist Pasquale Scionti unveiled his first-person psychological horror game, *Whispers in the Fog*, at Future Games Show 2025. Known for his work on titles like *Call of Duty: Vanguard* and *Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2*, Scionti creates eerie, fog-laden environments using Unreal Engine 5. In this mysterious game, players awaken in a rainy forest with no memory, equipped only with a flashlight. As they navigate the haunted woods, pulsating with unsettling whispers, they must uncover the hidden secrets behind these chilling surroundings. The game continues Scionti's signature style of atmospheric tension and immersive 3D scenes.

The controversy surrounding The Outer Worlds 2 is prominently displayed in Steam Discussions, where users criticize the game's high price and limited language options. Outrage stems from Xbox choosing this sequel, rather than an original title, to initiate price hikes, especially given its studio also released the poorly-received Avowed earlier this year. In Europe, prices exceed $80, reaching up to $97.29 in Switzerland. Critics find it ironic that a sequel to a game satirizing late-stage capitalism is now the first Xbox title to launch at an increased price point, encapsulating their discontent with the phrase "capitalism bad, give us $80."
