That unofficial spiritual successor now has an actual successor withXenonauts 2, which is out in early access now. Despite decades separating Xenonauts and its sequels 2009 setting, the world has sort of remained in limbo. Youll be doing so via old-school turn-based battles while also managing fighter bases to take care of enemy UFOs. Theres still plenty thats new with more maps and a bigger tech tree, though. For now, the teamsKickstartermentions that around 60-70% of the full campaign is available in early access....

A new festival, more dialogue, and “???”? How manyStardew Valleyfarms is too much for one person? are coming with Stardew Valleys next major update. We can expect a similar perfectionist timeframe for Stardew Valleys 1.6 update. In the meantime, the developer recently shared what Stardew looked like in itsearliest stagesvia very fun notebook doodles.

“Vertigo is playable Casual and Deathmatch modes. Overpass is available to play in Casual, Deathmatch, Competitive, and Wingman (new!).” It seems to have had a substantial revision for Counter-Strike 2, including in teh way it looks. Thefull update patch notescontain a handful of other minor tweaks and fixes. There’s also no word on when it’ll get a full release.

These changes come just a couple of days before the launch of the action-RPGs first season and battle pass. Several of the balance adjustments relate to Affixes, modifiers which enhance the stats or abilities of items. To chase this goal, we’re shifting power to many offensive Affixes from defensive Affixes." As a consequence,Diablo 4’s endgame content will be more deadly. Update 1.1.0a also makes some general changes. Diablo 4’s season 1launchesits first battle pass in two days, on July 20th....

Well, now here comes the “gameplay deep dive” trailer to hopefully satisfy my appetite. Spoilers: it’s almost entirely focused on technology, animation, and heavily re-uses already released footage. There was nothing really shown of either Career mode or Pro Clubs, however. I should stop sounding so grumpy. Recent FIFA games have been very good - I just don’t think they’re full-price-new-game-every-year good.

Admittedly, it’s not entirely clear what your small, hooded hero is working towards at first. For the most part, its puzzle-drivenplatformingis typical adventure fare. You know the drill. What’s more, the solution was usually pretty clear after that first bungling. This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the developer OutOfTheBit Ltd.

The reprise of an Amazon Prime deal - nearly.

Its last content updatereleased earlier this year, setting up its tie to Mirage. Go and check outthe full AMAfor some more tidbits while we await Mirages release on October 12th.

That’s $100 below MSRP and a great value for a CPU on the future-looking AM5 platform. Overall though, the 7600X is an awesome CPU and well worth picking up for $200.

Dragon Quest Treasures followsDragon QuestXIs thieving companion Eric and his sister Mia during their orphaned childhood. Thats too grim for a series whose mascot is a smiling blue slime, though. So I’m tempted to ride that magical train as well. Dragon Quest Treasures is available onSteamfor 43/$50.

And I’m sad to report I’m having a miserable time. On paper, Exoprimal sounds like a hoot. As one of the enlisted, you fight waves of dinosaurs in competitive races to the finish line. Eventually, you reach a final stage where the objective seems to switch. Maybe it’s the one driving force keeping me going. The trouble with Exoprimal is that it hasn’t ticked either of these boxes. By “cohesion”, I mean in the most literal sense: a cool play....

“We expect the game to be released at the end of the year. They’re also fantastic story generators. Dominions 5 was released in 2017, but the last we reviewedwas Dominions 4 back in 2013. Any progress on any of these things is good news.

Here’s our first look: Striking before and after transitions aside, what else is new? Firefly Studios previously revamped the castle sim asStronghold HDin 2012. Can you tell which of these screenshots is which? Or you could grab Stronghold HD now for only 3.50/$6 fromSteamorGOG.
