Harold Halibut review: a sweet, restrained story about finding your way home

I love miniatures, and Harold Halibut is beautiful. But, at the same time, I totally understand why some people would find it boring. You play the titular Harold. Whenever you enter or leave a district you get spritzed with disinfenctant from an old school metal shower head. There’s more to look at than, by rights, there should be. The plot is driven by a few things. And, finally, Harold finds an aquatic local knocking about in one of the filtration systems....

Here are the new Game Pass library additions for May 2024

There are siblings, felines, reapers, and a Croft. I’m struggling to identify a theme. This is simply more of a reason to play it.) As always, a new set of games arriving on Game Pass means another set of games are leaving. My pick of this batch would beFuga: Melodies Of Steel2, however, just for its relative obscurity. Who could resit that pitch?

A bot in Tekken 8 is demolishing players by only pressing one button over and over

OneTekken 8player is proving this point. The bot is doing surprisingly well. That’s perseverance many human players lack, myself included. In many ways, Eddy is the perfect character for this funny experiment. It’s the low attack that seems to be catching even seasoned players off-guard. Eddy is the first of four DLC characters for Season 1 of Tekken 8. And… what’s this? The next character was just announced this morning....

Echo Weaver is an Outer Wilds-inspired metroidvania in which the only resource is time

in the marketing materials. I probably wouldn’t say that one out loud in front of a mirror either. Who knows what kind of cosmic vengeance it might attract. It’s like they turned Jeff Vandemeer loose on Sonic’s Scrapyard Zone. Sumsky isn’t worried, however: he thinks the game should hang together well at several possible lengths. I think my ideal would be somewhere between six and eight hours." If Echo Weaver is a tragedy, it’s also a game for everyone....

Escape From Tarkov studio boss says he "did not foresee" players would get mad about charging extra for PvE

Are you new to the scandal? Hey, take a seat, let’s go through it in mildly exhausting detail. Actually, let’s not. They also argued that the game doesn’t have the server capacity to support everybody playing PvE right now. Now, here’s the latest from Buyanov. “We will start this process as soon as possible”, he wrote. They’re also working on mod support for the PvE mode. As for the older Edge Of Darkness edition, it’ll continue to receive updates and additions....

Helldivers 2 patch makes life hellish indeed for smaller parties, but also makes maps more fun to explore

And it is a hell that is subject to patches. One such update has nerfed a bunch of weapons including the popular quasar cannon. And when there are fewer players, “the bigger the change”. If you’re in a team of four, there will be no difference. Perhaps Arrowhead also wanted folks to party up with each other through matchmaking? Either way, I can see folks being a bit disgruntled with this change....
