It's really crazy that 2 of 4 the studios behind the games you bring up were also recently acquired by Big Ben, but yeah, thank you to both the pub and the devs and wish them all a lot more of success in the future

BigBen is doing great moves. But to me it's Focus the special one. It's the developper that has brought something different and original this gen. It's thanks to them I didn't give up on videogames these years. And I'm sure these teams are going to do amazing jobs on BigBen too.
Unfortunately, the Werewolf game, along with Cyanide, are now part of BigBen's portfolio.
It remains to be seen what this means for the game and how much budget BigBen is willing to give its new acquisitions.
I'm actually very concerned by the BigBen acquisitions given the shit they have pulled with Tennis World Tour... Wish they had collaborated again with Focus Hone Interactive. Let's hope they'll do better in the future.
Definitely thought the same quite a few times in the past months. I really like their AA style output of games!
lol fuck BigBen as long as they have scum like Alain Falc at the top of the company
Focus rocks though
I'm not sure, but the official site should have a list of places that still have copies - we know there's still a decent number around.
Development is ongoing, that's about all I can say right now.

Really? I thought there was stilla a contract between Focus Home and the game.

BigBen bought Cyanide and they also bought Spiders.
Don't expect anything from Spiders and Cyanide published by Focus Home
Thanks Focus <3
A Plague Tale is my personal GOTY right now and I'm having so much fun with Greedfall. Also loved Vampyr last year. I'm very excited what's next.

Yeah the puzzles were great. Was my GOTY last year.
The twist mid-way you either roll with or ruins it for you.

So one of the games included in Cahsium license is Arkham Horror. It's set on Arkham, where players must fight lovecraftian monsters. Just sayin...
I second this. Both Vampyr and Call of Cthulhu are already on my Switch wish list, just waiting for then to come out, as long as the ports are reasonably good I will buy.

Haha.
That puzzle with the door (where you put your arm in), one of the hardest puzzles I've conquered. I had sheets of paper with scribblings all over my desk trying to solve it!

I'm curious. What's your favourite Focus game and why? Not talking about the best games, just asking THAT ONE that's special because emotional reasons.
Mine is Call of Cthulhu. I had such an intense month, I just wanted Halloween to arrive (my favourite time of the year). And then bought it on 30th I think and cannot play anything else. Just the perfect game at the perfect time.

That was insane! And the one with Piaggi's tattoo was awesome. And really hard too.
Yeah, the industry BADLY needs more publishers like Focus. Hats off to them.
Too bad that they couldn't get Spiders for a much longer partnership. GreedFall is amazing and I'd love to see a sequel with more Focus support.

I remember Focus being kind of a joke among "enthusiast" circles because they started publishing Farming Simulator a few years ago. And then a few years later they kept getting more and more attention with some of their more unique stuff like Styx. I think that's when they sort of started to turn around their image and people finally started to take notice when The Surge came out. Since then they've released lots of really cool shit that larger publishers would have skipped for whatever reason. The Council, Vampyr, Call of Cthulhu, A Plague Tale and now Greedfall. It's been fantastic to follow their upward trajectory.
Good to see people buying Focus games on Switch. Maybe this would lead to Focus porting more of their games to Switch it the future. I'd love to see A Plague Tale and GreedFall on Switch someday.

I know, but Focus is great finding new talents (like they did with The Council and Big Bad Wolf). I'm sure they're already working with new teams with amazing ideas.
Disliked Vampyr quite a bit sadly. However....
Love Focus. The Technomancer, The Surge, The Council and other games starting with 'The' by them have been fantastic XD Really looking forward to playing Plague Tale, Greedfall and The Surge 2.
Real sad Spiders got bought by Big Ben. Concerned a bit about what will happen to them.

So it seems like I need to play Call of Cthulhu. I was planning on playing Sinking City first since I liked those Sherlock Holmes games. Have I made a bad call?
A Plague Tale was something else indeed, what a beautiful game. Didn't finish Call of Cthlhu but I'm planning to go back and finish it.
Vampyr was awesome too.

I still have Vampyr, Technomancer and Plague Tale in my Focus backlog. Not to mention GreedFall I bought today and wil play once I finish Bound by Flame (currently in the beginning of Act 3).
Cthulhu can wait until the holidays.
A Plague Tale is my GOTY so far, got a code and streamed it on release and I must have sold hundreds of copies since then based on how I am always bigging it up. Are any of their other games similar? I might try to grab Vampyr or Cthulhu.
For a more linear, stealth-focused experience, check out the Styx games.
Both Vampyr and Call of Cthulhu are more RPG-ish- Vampyr focused on combat and social interactions, while Call of cthulhu leans into the investigative aspect more.
