Dell’s Black Friday in July sale has knocked the price of an Alienware 16 laptop down to $1,099.99, and while it’s not the perfect machine, it’s a decent price for a reasonably affordable mid-range gaming setup.
You might remember Where Winds Meet as the open world Wuxia RPG that mixes scenes of exquisite calligraphy with scenes of hooligan sword masters subjecting blameless bears to sonic bombardment, paralysing whole gangs of chimney sweeps with chained Blink attacks, and getting chased by angry geese.
If you don’t, you can watch the below trailer or read Ed Thorn’s (RPS in peace) preview from 2023, in which he commented “I’m both excited to see more and a tad worried it could end up being a disjointed, overstretched mash”. Then you can consider signing up to the game’s next playtest, which runs from July 25th to July 30th.
Amazon Prime Day might be over, but some of the best Ryzen CPU deals are still live right now. There’s still time to snag big discounts. We’re seeing up to 39% off, which is rare for these processors. No Prime membership? No problem. Amazon’s free 30-day Prime trial still applies, so there’s really no excuse to miss these while they’re hot.
Deep beneath the smog of a plausibly denied planetoid, there lurks a space hulk full of dessicated hand monsters, shorn dreadlocks and long-emptied Pulse Rifles. The vessel mostly lies silent, but every so often, an ancient server deep within the core crackles awake, beaming an ominous signal far out into the void, and the chitinous corridors come alive with flamethrowers and squelchy stabbing noises and oh, so much screaming. Also, the coveted chirping of Steam achievements.
Great stealth games are basically forever games. Whether or not they’re boosted with regular live service jabs like a Hitman, it always feels like it’s worth returning to a Dishonored, or a Metal Gear, or a Desperados 3. Always ways to finesse or experiment or utterly style on encounters you’ve slipped your way through dozens of times before. If you love stealth, you’ve likely got a library full of such games you’ve been meaning to get back to at some point. If you don’t, you’ve likely been put off somewhere along the line by the sort of tired and punishing design tropes Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is full of. Naturally, I don’t think it’s worth your time either way.
A battle between three former Subnautica 2 developers and their publishers at Krafton intensified over the weekend, after an internal document appeared online showing how the scope of the survival game has reduced during development. The source of this document remains unknown. In fact, quite a lot of facts about the document remain unknown. Nevertheless, Krafton have since leapt at the chance to confirm its authenticity.
Morning all! The working week once again looms above us like a bulldozer driven by raucous and somehow loveable sheepdogs in top hats and cufflinks. Quickly now, lob a few new PC game releases under the caterpillar treads to slow its passage. It’s not clear where those sheepdogs are going, but your and my wellbeing are clearly of secondary importance.
It’s time. Elden Ring Nightreign‘s gotten a randomiser mod, just in case the base game isn’t quite maxing out your unexpected chaos-per-run meter at this point, despite its revamped bosses.
While FromSoft’s roguelike-ish twist on the established souls formula already switches things up in a manner that’s a bit like a randomiser mod makeover of one of the series’ traditional entries, modder thefifthmatt has still found ways to tinker with it.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition is out August 14th, with a 30% discount off the $30 label price for owners of the Anniversary Edition. That discount applies to both Steam and GOG, and will be available for the “foreseeable future” (Fateweaver noises). Other currencies aren’t listed.
Bestest best roguelite city builder Against The Storm is getting invaded by bats. Not the kind that swoop and screech and dive around your car in New Games Journalism articles that lean a bit too obviously on Hunter S. Thompson – bless our hearts, we’ve all done it – but the kind who labour at the forge and rejoice when their colleagues crumble and may even drive other workers out in order to make themselves feel better.
On the whole, I think I prefer the Fear and Loathing variety. Anyway, here’s the trailer for Against the Storm’s second DLC expansion, Nightwatchers, which will release on PC via Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store on July 31st.
