Deathsprint 66 is Mario Kart by way of The Running Man by way of Squid Game

Well, get ready for the dunce cosmetic. Hype unlocks combat abilities in the race itself. It’s also a denser blend of cultural inputs than I was expecting. “I’ve made a lot of racing games over the years,” Willans reflects. So yeah, there’s quite a lot of experience from that side of things in the studio. Going by the presentation, your character in Deathsprint handles more like a car than a person....

Gaming’s number one ratmasher Vermintide 2 is getting a free map and enemy update

Chaos warriors, much to my chagrin, are not rats. Lick the warpstone from your paws and click play on the trailer below. I enjoy 40k plenty, but theOld Worldhas always been the more interesting setting for me. Plus, 40k is relatively lacking in ravenous, morally bankrupt, self replicating hordes. The Imperium aside, amirite! Could this all be a well-timed bit of synchronicity with the new Age of Sigmar rats? Or, even better, could we be getting a new SkavenBlood Bowlteam?...

Genre-bending horror dating sim sequel Sucker For Love: Date To Die For unleashes a sexy goat mommy this month

Get confused and horny in just two weeks time! Yet the presser also says “no scares this time”. This is useful to Rhok’zan, because her cult has become twisted and corrupted and turned to e.g. kidnapping and killing people, when she just wanted people to have babies and that. Still, I think it could be worth checking out. A dating sim without shagging but with horror but without jump scares....

Balatro is getting just a little bit easier in the next patch, and you can try it now

Other changes include improved (hopefully) Steam Deck performance, balance tweaks, and better Joker-related Tags. Climbing the difficulty ranks, Green and Purple Stakes will also reduce scaling on several Antes. I’ll take fiendish obstacles over reduced options. Maybe now I’ll actually use more of those Tags now. Making them free makes them far more useful in that situation. And I imagine some players will welcome the new option to reduce the wibbly-wobbly animations....

Baldur’s Gate 3 studio will likely bring their next game to early access again, but admit it’s not for every dev

(Thanks,Eurogamer.) That way you remove a lot of the prediction, Douse said. In early access, you find out very quickly. It helps you steer the massive ship. That said, Douse acknowledged that early access isnt something that every developer should do just because its there. It’s scary, Douse said. We were very open about not doing that, Douse explained. [We said,] ‘We’re not going to add story. Don’t expect that....

Botany Manor review: peaceful and beautiful best-in-show plant puzzles

Come away, O human child! It’s apuzzle gameabout growing plants. HolyStrange Horticulture, Batman! So in this respect it is also a fantasy game. It’s quite delightful, which is the sort of phrase I am confident Arabella would use. Your main concern, as is Arabella’s, is the plants. It is an environmentalist’s game, in a way. It is an oasis of calm. it’s possible for you to take your time cataloguing apples....

Deep Rock Galactic Season 5 tunnels through time itself and lets you replay old seasons

Here’s how that works, direct from the bellowing bearded faces of the developers themselves. By which I mean, a new Steamblog. Keep it clean, though - there may be elves reading. The new approach to Deep Rock Galactic seasons brings with it a new approach to cosmetics. Existing Performance Pass and Cosmetic Tree progress in each Season will be preserved after Season 5 launches. The developers stress that the upshot here is that for most players, nothing will really change....

Dragons Dogma 2 has 392 developer credits next to Starfield's 3,902, but credits don't tell the whole story

MobyGames list just 392 people with 402 roles as having worked on the popularRPG game. This cant be the full picture then, right? Well, no, of course not.
