Humankind - Gamescom 2020 Best Strategy Game winner explains the Religion Mechanic

Religion essentially works in tandem with the game’s cultural building blocks, in that various choices you make during your play-through will shape your civilisation’s religious tenets and effects. All the details are contained within the video.

In each game, you’ll be able to create and determine your society’s religion. Volatile at first, religions will evolve over the course of the game, typically consolidating into large blocks. Civics and event choices along the way will determine how religion fits into your society, including religious rights and the treatment of non-believers and religious minorities. 

Graven dark-fantasy action-adventure FPS Game intro and first 30 mins gameplay

GRAVEN delves into a gruesome medieval world of deities and monstrosities as a disgraced Priest of the Orthogonal Order. When a heretical member of the Order sacrifices the Priest’s adoptive daughter, the Priest lethally retaliates in a bout of righteous fury. Tried and found guilty by his brothers and now exiled to the burning sands, he closes his eyes for one last prayer, for peace. The Creator speaks to him directly: “You will have to earn your peace.”

Heed the Creator by hunting down the foul heretical sects responsible for conjuring plagues and twisting the natural order of the seasons. Blending action, exploration, and puzzle-solving, GRAVEN takes cues from classic shooters, immersive sims, and action RPGs alike. Journey across three expansive, open-ended regions, and scour the lands to purge evil.

PETA France wants Hunting Simulator 2 Game to swap guns for cameras

Following the release of Hunting Simulator 2, PETA France has sent a letter to Alain Falc, chair and CEO of French video game company Nacon, asking for the game to change direction by replacing guns with telephoto lenses and making the goal to shoot the best photo of a wild animal.

"There are boundless opportunities for amusement, so it's near psychopathic to get a thrill from gunning down other living beings, even in a virtual world," says PETA Vice President Mimi Bekhechi. "Nacon must stop glorifying violence to animals by transforming the players of Hunting Simulator 2 into wildlife saviours and admirers, trading in the game's guns for Canons."
