Death Stranding Director's Cut is stranger, weirder, and the best version of Kojima's hiking postal sim

Yep, that sounds like a classic Kojima upgrade pack, if you ask me. and one-upmanship bridge-building that made up the bulk of the original’s asymmetric online multiplayer component. As for the new new stuff, is it worth making a return trip? Thankfully, importing your save is relatively pain-free. A little convoluted, perhaps, but that’s it. This is partly why coming back to Death Stranding now feels so strange. You’ll visit it three times over the course of the game....

Abermore review: an indie Thief-’em-up that steals your time in the worst way

More like Aberchore It all started going wrong when I died taking on the old McDuckitt job. InAbermore, you play as a thief making a name for themselves in its titular city. The folks you meet are from the shadier side of society and they’ll hire you for jobs. Sometimes its simple burglary, sometimes it’s breaking a vase, or snatching a specific bit of loot. Theres even a guy who keeps trying to offer me wet work!...

Fortnite renames its now construction-free battle royale "Zero Build" mode

It removed building entirely, and that was around nine days ago. There’s no official word on that, however. I’ve never been a big Fortnite fan, preferring Plunkbat to Epic’s action figure shopping mall. I do respect Epic’s willingless to substantially alter, remix, and cut from their juggernaut, though.

Game Dev Story and more Kairosoft manage 'em ups are now on Steam

I think the second mobile game I bought was probably one of its follow-ups, too. Hot Springs Story expands that into running a hot spring resort, building amenities and such. Station Manager has you build and decorate a fancy train station. And Dream House is about running and decorating apartment blocks. I like their style of management games. They’re simple and gentle but it’s satisfying when things go right. Also, it’s fun to create things with silly names....

All of Elden Ring's horrible dogs, rated

The hideous hounds ofDark SoulsandBloodbornewere bad enough, butElden Ringtakes canine combat to a whole other level. It isn’t simply a case of underestimating them because they’re dogs, either. The main difference is their long coats, which make them look surprisingly cute from a distance. Don’t be fooled. Beneath that dishevelled mop of fur they’re every bit as evil as their short-haired companions. Essentially, it’s a barking bag of thrush. If you took one to a vet they’d shoot it with a gun....

Distant Worlds 2 review: a troubled but brilliant 4X that sets its own terms

Distant Worlds 2 is, ultimately, a game that it’s crucial that you meet in the middle. Consequently, it’s one that I can only partially recommend. But I really do recommend it for that part. I owe you all an apology, in fact. That in itself gives us a positive angle to start with, at least. But too often, in its present state, its problems are things only its developers can fix....
