Dragon Age's former lead writer has many, mostly positive thoughts on Veilguard's romance options, story and environments

Those Xeets came through yesterday. Well, I didnt make it into your dang jar yesterday, David. I was off buzzing around Monster Hunter at the time. So here I am fluttering at the glass, trying to rejoin my brethren. Let me in, David! I also wish to batten on the sweet nectar of your comparisons with Dragon Age 2! “We see some story, and tone-wise it feels a lot darker and more DA....

And it’s quite soon. “So, cross our fingers, our team is working overtime to deliver this.” Here’s a couple of comparison screens to illustrate that. 7 Days is one of ourbest survival games, after all.

Comically vast Helldivers 2 patch adds to the game's Galactic strategy map while making stealth easier and armoured enemies fewer

Also, invite-only lobbies! Though they’re currently only localised in English. This desire for variety also informs their tweaks to the game’s Stratagems. “When inside the vegetation helldivers will be harder to detect, reducing their detection range by enemies. A meaty update, by all that’s Super-Democratic! The only thing it’s missing, really, isa new enemy factionof some kind.

Everywhere's no-code game creation tools get a closed beta next week

Everywhere is the work of Build A Rocket Boy, the studio founded by formerGrand Theft Autoproducer Leslie Menzies. That gives it some pedigree, but I still have a lot of doubts. Fortnite’s creative tools have found an audience because Fortnite itself already had a huge and engaged playerbase. Roblox, through its relative visual simplicity, manages to resist comparisons to more polished, blockbuster games. Everything I’ve seen of Everywhere seems to lack creative spark....

The CWA point out that Lionbridge has what they call a “documented union-busting track record.” In 2016, Lionbridgelaid of all 16 of its unionised employees....

Can you guess which Australian TV sci-fi of the early 2000s inspired Citizen Sleeper 2?

Through a wormhole, darkly No, it’s notSilversun. Sit down,Brian. All the while your misfit crew will clash and commingle. You still haven’t got it, have you? I suppose I’ll let the game’s designer tell you then. And I really like that as a hook." “I’ve always wanted to make one of these crew-and-ship games,” says Martin.

Disco Samurai is a brutally difficult and brilliant Sekiro-like rhythm slasher

We’re calling thisWishlisted, in partnership with Eurogamer and VG247. Tense, decisive duels. Violence thats both brutal and a little silly. Scalpel-sharp parry n' strike back-and-forths. Perhaps most importantly, it aims to do one thing - rhythm combat - and does it brilliantly. It’s got teeth, but it’s also gotgroove. Youll need that 4%. Unlike other rhythm combat games Ive played, slashing off-beat doesnt reduce your score here. Instead, you just wont attack....

Felvidek review: a black comedy medieval RPG that’s all about honeyed words and grubby deeds

Not that it will get dirty forever. Ill need to clean my keyboard soon. I keep taking screenshots of Felvidek. I cant take enough. I want to make a scrapbook of every character and every line. Felvidek, set in 15th century Slovakia, is all about honeyed words and grubby deeds. Pavol is an alcoholic knight with marriage woes. Matej is a seemingly devout though often hilariously flexible priest. Theyre a farcical if committed double-act who often alternate between curbing and encouraging each others worst instincts....
