Im even more grateful it wont take as long as Valhalla to beat. Christ, its still a busy month though, isnt it? (Thats the plan for the moment, at least.) You will have the option totake a virtual history tour around Baghdad, though. Assassin’s Creed Mirage has gone GOLD! The game is now ready to go! We congratulate our teams who worked on the game alongside our friends at @UbisoftBordeaux!

Aviary Attorney dev’s Redwall-meets-Final Fantasy RPG Small Saga still looks incredible as it gets a release date

Fishing minigame? Check. Evil Aibo? Er, check. If you might believe it, we first wrote aboutSmall Saga, the retro-flavoured turn-based RPG filled with penknife-wielding rodents and fireballs cast from cigarette lighters,a little over four years ago. Clearly inspired by the likes ofFinal Fantasy- albeit crossed with the small animals on a big adventure feel of Brian Jacques' Redwall novels - it looked absolutely brilliant. That sentiment was only solidified by its Steam Next Fest demo last year, which left Katharineimpressed by its compelling combat and rodent fantasy setting....

Baldur's Gate 3 is Metacritic's highest-rated PC game ever, but devs are rejecting cheap comparisons

Still, it’s all very apples-to-oranges, and developers are pushing back. They’ve been pushing back since well before launch, actually. That’s common sense for any other medium. But in games, I don’t see this truth acknowledged quite often." THAT’S why it’s unreasonable to expect this to become the ‘new standard’." Night in the Woodsdeveloper Scott Benson wasmore whimsical in his assessment. “Everyone is threatened because someone finally made a giant very expensive well received rpg with voice acting....

Cliff Bleszinski wants a new Jazz Jackrabbit "in the style of Jumping Flash"

Cor, people don’t half move around in this industry. “It was hugely influenced by all of the platformers I grew up with on my Nintendo and Genesis. Jazz was an example of finding an underserved market and catering to it. People still love it to this day. What’s to hate? When you’re a little rabbit, you carry a big gun!” “I worked my BUTT off to have the freedom I have now to pursue many endeavors and adventures....

Anno 1800 will make it easier to find and download mods with official support

Ubisoft have seemingly noticed. They’re now partnering with mod.io to add official mod support to the game. You’ll probably need thecommunity-made mod loader, too. It’s enough of a barrier of entry to likely put off most players. Nate liked it in hisAnno 1800 review.

Airhead looks great, but its puffy platforming is a little lightweight

Minutes later, for example, I came across a small lake area. This must be an enemy I need to avoid, I thought immediately. Sadly, things get worse once you stumble upon the game’s raison d’etre - the inflatable head. Combined, well, you’re free to probably see where this is going, can’t you?

Alien landlord sim Space For Sale looks thrillingly unsavoury

The building process starts with you pegging out a holo-dome to create a safe space for construction. I used to have nightmares about the opening cinematic.

AMD Radeon RX 7600 review: a GPU with nothing new

There are worse 1080p graphics cards. What I cant explain with it, admittedly, is why the RX 7600 exists. It’s also a few coins cheaper than its main, green-eyed rival, the RTX 4060. Its the GeForce card that more often finds a double-digit advantage, especially inShadow of the Tomb RaiderandHitman 3. That 75fps result on the RTX 4060? That was without DLSS 3s AI frame generation. Flick it on, and it jumps up to 97fps, easily beating the RX 7600s upscaled effort....

Blackbird Interactive used VR to sculpt Homeworld 3's new Mothership

Gryc shared said thoughts ina lovely Mothership deepdivefrom TheSpaceshipper, who posts about fancy breeds of interstellar vessel onTwitterandPatreon. (I wasn’t aware that car manufacturers made clay models, either. Here’sa piece on the subjectif you’re interested). I’m guessing the “compliance” stuff also applies to the game’s locations. Presumably, a vertically-standing Mothership wouldn’t be able to manage that. You’d get the bottom end all dirty, wouldn’t you? Here’severything we know about Homeworld 3at the time of writing....
