Demon Tides is a Mario 64 meets Wind Waker throwback of devilish combinatory extent

Hit the button again exactly when you land and youll be rewarded with a higher, twirlier jump. Hit it a third time and youll be treated to a triumphant, arcing somersault. Yes, this is the stuff! This is the old N64 Mario magic Ive been missing. Nostalgia is the enemy of critical thinking, you say? The games industry is a flat circle of corporate iteration, is it? A stifling quAAAgmire from which not even moderate oddballs like New York-based developers Fabraz can escape?...

Dragon Age writer teases a new arcane deckbuilder from his Stray Gods studio

It’s very early days though - the game hasn’t yet launched a planned Kickstarter. Here’s a bit of description fromthat Kickstarter page. You might hope so, with a narrative lead as experienced as this. Malys seems quite different to the studio’s first game. Then you could choose what lyrics to sing next, and in what style. It also gotsome DLC featuring OG sad boy Orpheusa year after release. We’ll keep an eye out for Malys and whether or not it hits its crowdfunding target....

Endless Legend 2's coral hivemind faction is the most sinister 4X "diplomacy" playstyle in a while

Say hello to the Aspects, and say hello to their coral. This is very much my cup of picturesque-but-insidious. Best of all, they infest the minds of your rivals, making them better-disposed towards you. “They don’t want this world to be safer but manipulate people for their own good. So they are great counterpunchers, in short. If only real-life coral reefs were this resilient. I really like this crafty and unpleasant approach to the idea of a diplomacy faction....

FromSoftware multiplayer is best when it's a secret

Its 2011 and Im making my way through Lordran for the first time. Im in the woods with my longsword and Grass Crest Shield. There is a glimmer through the trees and another player appears, wearing exotic equipment. I raise my guard, anticipating a swift defeat, but the other player only stands and waves. They beckon me deeper into the wood. Its rarely smart to follow a stranger into the woods....

Handheld PC makers, if you steal one thing from the Switch 2, please don’t let it be the decapitated facecams

This is GameChat, the Switch 2s otherwise quite reasonable attempt at baking in a Discord-like chat app. I hate this, and would be scared to sit near people that dont. Namely, that you literally cant see them coming. Resist the urge, Valve/Acer/Lenovo etc. Still, who knows might be crazy enough to try it. TheZotac Zonealready has a camera built in, which Ive never understood. Did they not clock how unflattering the angle is when youre holding it in a standard just-above-the-lap position?...

Havenhold is a neat looking East Asian mythology-inspired action sandbox game that resets its world every 14 days

And there’s a beta test this month too! Good, because they were! For me, the main appeal is in the game’s cycle system.

Assassin's Creed, please remember how silly you used to be

It is a game that transforms weather from the subject of idle small talk to excited big talk. I’m not made of fifteen quids, after all. I completely forgot about this). Just deliciously stupid levels of hateable. Here, I wanted to stab Ferris, and I have fun doing it. And the set pieces! Smashing into horse drawn carts in street escapes. Jumping across train carriages to put out fires. Why would you abandon something as fun and freeing as Syndicate’s ziplines?...

Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 get a June release date, just don't forget you'll have to pay for these ones

Annoying dog probably included For the most part, anything to do with the Nintendo Switch 2 won’t have much to do with anyone in this neck of the woods, but its inaugural Direct did have some goodies for us PC players too. Like, for example, the fact thatDeltaruneChapters 3 and 4 now have a release date, June 5th (which also happens to be when the Switch 2 comes out but that’s neither here nor there)....

Disco Elysium's spin-off Locust City was the story of two grotty children and a boxful of insects

The game outside the box is described as a “single player cooperative” experience. It takes H.D.B’s multitude of garrulous self-manifestations and stretches them precariously between two skulls.

Don't call Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions a sequel"years" of updates ahead

The original Astroneer will keep receiving updates for “years” to come, say developers System Era Softworks. As for Starseeker, it’s aiming to be a different kettle of space entirely. It’s doing that through the power of mates, chiefly. Not just a few mates, but many. Labour’s new fifteen point berries-or-poverty plan being what it is, I’m thankful for the escapism. A “focus on discovery, cooperative expeditions, and camaraderie” is the vibe here....

Elden Ring Tarnished Edition's new stuff is probably coming to PC as well

Is that what you think? Well if thatiswhat you think, I’ve got something to tell you. Something that may shock and discredit you. And that thing is as follows: I’m not wearing a tie at all!
