Finally, Baba Yaga is getting the video game treatment he deserves.

A $100 million investment from Abu Dhabi is backing a third-person action game set in Middle-earth.

Ever wondered what it's like working in a warehouse while your boss sips cocktails on a beach somewhere? Parcel Frenzy: Get To Work! puts you in the steel-toed boots of a warehouse worker tasked with keeping the entire operation afloat — no thanks to your absent employer.

If you're reading Life Meets Pixel, there's a solid chance you've already lost hundreds of hours to Factorio, Satisfactory, or Dyson Sphere Program. You've felt that specific dopamine hit when a production line finally clicks into place. You've muttered "just one more conveyor belt" at 3am on a work night. Well, good news and bad news. The good news? 2026 is absolutely stacked with factory automation sims. The bad news? Same answer. Here's every factory builder worth watching this year, from sci-fi survival hybrids to cozy critter colonies.

Just finished watching the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted and my head's absolutely spinning. They crammed over 80 games into a two-and-a-half hour showcase, including 15+ world premieres and their annual Top 25 Most Wanted countdown voted by industry folks and journos. There's a lot to unpack here, so let me walk you through the highlights.

Path of Exile 2's next major update finally brings the Druid class on December 12. Transform into bears, werewolves, and unleash nature magic in this massive free update - plus there's a free weekend so everyone can try it.

Valve just dropped a bombshell: the Steam Machine is coming to Australia at launch in early 2026, and for once, we're not getting left behind. This cube-shaped living room console packs six times the power of the Steam Deck, promises 4K gaming at 60fps, and here's the kicker – no subscription fees for online multiplayer. While PlayStation and Xbox keep charging monthly fees just to play online, Steam lets you play for free. With pricing still TBA but expected somewhere between $750-$1,000 AUD, this could be the console alternative we've been waiting for. If Valve can deliver on their promises and nail the price point, the Steam Machine might actually shake up the living room gaming scene.

November and December are shaping up to be absolutely packed with exciting releases and expansions. From medieval mysteries to anime action RPGs, Roman empire building to Martian colonies, here's what's got me hyped for the next two months.

Urban Games just dropped the third in-game trailer for Transport Fever 3 and I'm absolutely buzzing. Over 275 vehicles, helicopters for the first time, cargo trams, and a 2026 release date. My productivity for the rest of the week is officially screwed.

That overly thirsty Borderlands 4 shield was actually bugged - it was supposed to be horny, just not constantly horny. Gearbox fixed the frequency, so now your equipment has better timing with its kink commentary

Just finished watching the Galaxies Autumn Showcase and wow, they really packed 50 games into an hour. My brain's still processing everything, but a few things definitely stood out. There was also this wild mix of everything - cyberpunk shooters, pirate survival games, even a vending machine management sim. That's the kind of variety I love seeing in these showcases.

Gearbox just dropped their Borderlands 4 post-launch roadmap, and while I'm hyped about robot gambling man C4SH, I can't shake this uncomfortable feeling that I'm being asked to pay $200 AUD for a game that hasn't even proven it's worth $120 yet. Call me old-fashioned, but I miss when studios earned our money instead of asking for it upfront with a "trust me bro" attached.
