The mapping project features new weapons to use and enemies to fight.
Clair Obscur gripped me within the first minutes of its dramatic prologue. A turn-based RPG with a Belle Époque, steampunky aesthetic and a bleak world of monsters and magic? I know they say not to put a hat on a hat, but when that hat's a beret… magnifique. The story opens with the people of Lumière celebrating its annual get-together where the Paintress, a sobbing giant beyond the city’s shores, etches a number into a cliff, and hundreds of onlookers immediately ev
Victoria 3 update 1.12 and the Iberian Twilight DLC have given the Paradox grand strategy game a fresh lease on life, and naval is next.
After another year of incredible videogame performances, I ask Baldur's Gate 3's Neil Newbon if he thinks we need a motion capture award.
Bis heute hält eine Mondmission der NASA, die nicht mal auf dem Trabanten landete, einen Rekord: Schneller als die Besatzung von Apollo 10 war bis heute niemand. Drei Männer und eine Frau werden das aber bald ändern.
Doesn't matter if I know what I'm shooting, as long as I don't stop shooting.
There are plenty of homebrew solutions to get your Dreamcast online, but surfing the web will be a bit harder.
Just in case you thought Thief was a little light on eldritch horror.
Bring back Heroes of the Storm then.
First-person jumping is better when you can look down and see your feet.
Every game has its limitations, there is only so many actions you can take, narrative threads to unspool, buttons to press. What about a game that you can only play one round of every day? A game where you "take up the sword against an NPC or another girl-esque thing irl and fight until one of you is holding the lifeless, bloodstained hand of the other." This is the description of a tiny, visceral Yuri Game Jam game called Everyday Sororicide. Read more
The thing about Big Business these days is that when you get Big Numbers, that normally leads to Bigger Business, right up to the point the well has not only dried up, but turned to dust. So, when you have a game like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, now winner of many Geoff Keighleys and seller of many copies, you might assume that developer Sandfall Interactive would increase the size of their operations. Apparently, you would be wrong! Read more
With the sequel just around the corner, immersive WW2 shooter, Hell Let Loose, is currently available at 68% off from Fanatical.
The end of a very short era is here! I guess, if you care about the life cycles of tech products made by multi-billion dollar companies. It appears that the days of the original LCD model of the Steam Deck is coming to an end, as a quiet notice from Valve suggests their focus will be with the slightly newer, shinier OLED line of handheld gaming devices.

Fewer than I thought, but more than one person could feasibly count by hand.
Lots of games are immersive, lots of games are simulations, but which ones nail both qualities a la Deus Ex?
I've always found PowerWash Simulator's Big Brand Collabs slightly odd, if a touch humorous. They don't always make much sense to me, like the SpongeBob one, though I will admit that the Shrek one does feel like a good fit, even if I am loath to look at intellectual property. And now here we are with its sequel, PowerWash Simulator 2, with its first bit of DLC freshly announced, sending prospective powerwashers off to a distant land called Ooo from the seminal Adventure Time.

The new Ravenswatch DLC adds King Arthurâs wizard pal Merlin to the fairytale roguelike, alongside a free update with new magical objects.
Revisiting the Hall of Tortured Souls.
I mean, all you can do is laugh, right? You've probably already guessed at what based on the headline, but we'll dig a little deeper into this all the same. Yes, Ark 2 has been delayed, the same Ark 2 that was revealed almost exactly five years ago, that was at one point in time promised to release in 2023, and then 2024, and then sort of half-heartedly slated for 2027, before landing where we are now, with the news that the game is currently planned for release in 2028. Uhuh! Read more
A disclaimer on the Steam Deck page notes that no more would be made once sold out, and, well, they went pretty fast.
The Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 update is a great time to return, with a free Zhao, Jane Doe skin, tons of pulls, and the introduction of co-op.
Featuring Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Battlefield 6, and more.
