Co-op blunder sim Chained Together now lets you make your own hellish maps

“This update is designed to unleash your creativity,” say developers Anegar Games in thebrief patch notes. You win this time, spinning log. We at RPS have already enjoyed a brief foray into the fiery pits. As aco-opmultiplayer platformer Chained Together is cheap, silly, and unsurprisingly janky. In other words, pure streamer bait - the video game as meme. But I often admire games like this for their playground simplicity. It reminds me of Sen’s Fortress as much as it does Bennet Foddy’s cauldronised clamberer....

Bungie says Destiny 2's future lies in "unusual formats", like "roguelikes or survival shooters"

And in many ways, yes, I agree with him. New boss fights against a large moth and/or dribbly guy is it? New weapons is it? New activity to grind to up my power level by +1 every week is it? Everyone would tackle the new stuff in a similar order, then round things off with the inevitable Raid. Some scenarios, an absolute nightmare, but hey, I respected the twists. Seasons are changing, too....

Devil's Hideout review: scattershot horror through a surreal urban hell

The game casts you as Lauren, who’s attempting to rescue her missing sister from cultists. Insert a smidgeon of The Shining here, add a dash of Lovecraft there. And that surreal nature is augmented by an unusual interface. When it comes to the puzzles, though, expect a degree of obfuscation. Items appear in unexpected places (why is there a telescope embedded in a corpse’s guts?) Nevertheless, Devil’s Hideout still has a compelling atmosphere that makes me overlook its flaws....

All Black Myth: Wukong Chapter 6 bosses and where to find them

Skip to a different Chapter here! Supreme Inspector The path from the beginning of Chapter 6 to the Supreme Inspector fight is short and straight. The Supreme Inspector awaits you there, and he starts the Chapter’s boss encounters off in grand fashion. After the Supreme Inspector, Jiao-Loong is a breath of fresh air. That is to say - quick and easy. He has low health, fairly obvious attacks, and a tendency to get overwhelmed easily....

Amazon tried to buy part of Valve in the days before Steam, according to former exec who says she's been "erased" from Valve's history

“Women, especially in tech, often seem to disappear when the story gets told.” Had that gone all the way, industry history might have been very different. I scaled the business opportunity within four years at $500 million dollars. I didn’t see a role for Sierra. According to Harrington, Amazon offered to buy a minority stake in Valve a few weeks later. I understood why she felt as she did, but the senior Valve team knows better....

Baldur's Gate 3 level editor is cracked open by modders, bringing homebrew campaigns one step closer

Read and write Hack the planet, wizard fans. But modders neither care nor sleep. But included in that patch was official mod support and the modding toolkit. Until enterprising modder “Siegre” stuck a lockpick into the devkit and made everything possible, that is. Including level editing, save editing, and more." Mmmmmm, game development. And what an option. It will be interesting to see what modders can create with the toolkit now entirely unlocked....
