Is this kind of like when Prince of Persia went all edgelord with Warrior Within? Do I need to call Mintrocket’s parents and ask for an intervention? Thing is, if you take a step back from each game they’re actually very similar. Both pit you, a mediocre human, against strange and unearthly creatures. See, this is practically a remake! Let’s have a look at the trailer. As in Dave the Diver, it’s a game of two halves....

Epic lay off 830 people thanks to "unrealistic" metaverse ambitions

But we still ended up far short of financial sustainability. Two-thirds of the layoffs are in teams outside of core development, Sweeney added. Sweeney insisted in the letter that Epics prospects for the future are strong thanks to Unreal Engine and Fortnite. Best of luck to all Epic staffers facing the chop today.

Baldur's Gate 3 hotfix #7 released, Larian "looking into" shared stash complaints

Gosh, I do love patch notes for massiveRPGs. Fixed a crash that would occur when loading savegames with potentially invalid items in the inventory. Fixed a savegame issue relating to traps. Removed duplicated characters and items sparked by items being taken across two different cached levels. Fixed the preview for the text background option not changing height after you reduce the Dialogue Text Size....

Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.0 update added a hidden Doom clone filled with secrets

(Thanks,Eurogamer.) (Spoilers for the FF:06:B5 Easter egg in Cyberpunk 2077 follow.) The QR codes could be pieced together and scanned to run script for a noughts-and-crosses game. That wasnt all, though. The completed QR code then ran another game of noughts-and-crosses, this time against an unbeatable AI.

Whether you regard this aesthetic with respect or disgust will help you determine whether theres anything here for you. When James faces his demons, theyre actual demons. And werewolves, thralls, ghouls, teleporting zombie brides and suits of armour stuffed with angry meat. And a biblically accurate angel. You deal with this expanding supernatural menagerie with what feels like never quite enough bullets....

Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis PC release confirmed, will share data between Steam and mobile

But will it be free-to-play with microtransactions? The Steam release will share data with the mobile version. Ever Crisis on mobile is a free-to-play game with microtransactions and curvy, colourful chibi-style visuals. It’s Final Fantasy: Polly Pocket Edition, sort of. Play breaks down into missions with turn-based battles and brief narrative sequences. Fingers crossed they’ll rebadge it as a standard pay-upfront release and tear out all the gacha. Here’s a trailer for the mobile version....
