Bethesda reveal Starfield with 15-minute explain-o-gameplay video

It does indeed look likeFallout 4with spaceships, though a little less colourful than Fallout 4. Watch the 15-minute presentation here below. Starfieldis set in 2330, casting our little wizard as an explorer searching the galaxy for mysterious artifacts. I hope more of those planets and moons have interesting looks than the video suggests. But I am probably not the person to look to for enthusiasm about modern Bethesda RPGs. Nothing would often be better than the something, and that frequent disappointment leaves me frustrated and bored....

Comedy sci-fi FPS High On Life’s talking weapons will chat you up

Feel free to chuckle at the trailer below. Fight off the invading alien forces of Garmantuous and his cartel to save Earth. Pretty standard day, really. The aliens are after using humans as drugs, which is just weird but right up Roilands avenue. It looks like youll be literally feeding them ammo to reload. Probably the best one shown today was Knifey, who really likes stabbing. The enemies look suitably grotesque and colourful, and they die in viscerally unpleasant ways....

Diablo 4 is out next year, confirms Necromancer class and makes it sound rad as hell

Why, that’s the Diablo game people keep saying they want! Plus, the Necromancer is confirmed as the fifth playable class. The Necromancer comes with “newly designed undead mechanics” who can fix even the most broken of engines. No, but seriously, folks. I was leaning Druid, honestly, but Necromancer might be the hot ticket. When you clear an area of evil it might actually be a little town next time you visit....

Don't Starve devs Klei announce dungeon crawler Rotwood

Here, check out the announcement trailer below. Certainly a lot cuter than Klei’s first beat ‘em up, 2010’s bloodsoakedShank. Details on Rotwood are thin for now. I don’t feel a huge need for great gobs of details right now, mind. Rotwood will debut in early accesson Steam, though Klei haven’t yet said when that will happen. Klei announced last year thatTencent had bought a majority stakein them.

First Victoria 3 gameplay shows the strategy game in action as a "deep social simulation"

Or you could be not that. The industrial era brings with it new railways and rapid growth, among other things. Several recent DLC releases for their big strategy games have been pretty buggy. The game director forOverlord, most recent DLC forStellaris, evenapologised for the state it was in.

It looks astonishingly fast, but its also rather vertiginous. There’s 125 miles of track, including magnetic, ice, water flume and rumbling versions. Justin Towell called the base game the best modern open-world driving game in hisForza Horizon 5 review....

Give Stardew Valley a giant tractor mech and you've got Lightyear Frontier

This planet may be on the edge of the galaxy, but it has good wifi. It also looks quite a bit like earth, don’t it? A very picturesque and ideal version, with weird plants. In the trailer you see it change to have, for example, caterpillar tracks. It is with this machine that you build your homestead, create raised beds and grow your crops. I’m into that.
