I am very much of the opinion that for the most part, video games do not have a very good relationship with food. There are plenty of games where you can eat food and get some delicious HP back for it, but rarely is food the focal point narratively. So, ever since its announcement I’ve been quite excited about Dosa Divas, a turn-based RPG where you play as two sisters piloting a cute robot whose goal is to take down an “evil fast food empire.” And I’m more excited now, as it has a release date!
Ah, live service games. You put out a new feature, everybody complains about one thing or another, you say something like “we’ve heard your feedback” and change it the next time around. This, almost word for word, is exactly what’s happened with Arc Raiders‘ and its impending second Expedition, the details of which have been outlined in a handy blog post from developer Embark.
I’ve never gelled well with the Sniper Elite series, as much as I do love a bit of goresploitation in my horror, it just has that kind of Mortal Kombat, slightly too realistic violence vibe about it that pushes it out of my comfort zone. But, I would still like to snipe! Sniping is always satisfying, that strange disconnect between your action and the reaction from a great distance away. So, Sniper Dan, a “family-friendly” hidden object game where you use a sniper to solve the problems of various townspeople, sounds like just what I’m after.
It took them long enough, but Sony and Guerilla have finally announced that other online Horizon game (the one that isn’t an MMO), and it’s called Horizon Hunters Gathering. On the offset it sort of looks like a Monster Hunter clone gameplay wise, especially being a co-op action game, though there are some definite differences between the two.
Retro PC game sellers GOG have faced criticism recently for using a piece of artwork made using AI tools to promote their store’s new year sale. The storerunners have since claimed that this banner was a work-in-progress asset which slipped through onto the store by mistake. Now, the platform’s managing director has revealed that the company are “not planning on making absolute statements in either direction” in terms of their future AI use, following the backlash.
Approximately 15 years, two months, and 14 days ago, Quintin Smith (RPS in peace) lobbed the headline ‘Poker Night At The Inventory Released Today‘ onto this fine site. On this day, February 5th – approximately 479,821,535 seconds further on in time – I’m here to tell you Poker Night At The Inventory is coming back, baby.
Following The Witcher 4‘s big reveal at 2024’s Geoff Awards, it predictably took modders about five minutes to revamp The Witcher 3‘s Ciri into her older monster slaying variant. Now, one of them’s had a crack at going a step further by designing a short questline offering a taste of Geralt’s non-quite-daughter slaying monsters in Kovir and Poviss, with help from CD Projekt’s RedKIT tools.
Despite AMD’s assurances to the contrary, Valve have announced that they’ve pushed back release plans for the new Steam Machine, Steam Controller, and Steam Frame VR headset. Alas, my curse of publishing news posts roughly 0.0045 seconds before a major situation change continues to ruin my life – sometimes I wish I’d never beaten the warlocks in that Titanfall 2 pub match.
Ashes Of Creation developers laid off during the reported closure of Intrepid Studios will not receive their final paychecks and other compensation they’re due, according to one of the departing team members.
Yapyap stands apart from other “friendslop” horror extraction games by giving you plenty of firepower to begin with. Airpower, anyway. You and up to four mates are the boggle-eyed, flap-jawed minions of an enormous, moon-masked wizard. You’ve been summoned to wreak havoc on a rival wizard’s procedurally generated tower. Over the course of three nights per round, you must smash as many fixtures as you can to fill up your quota of Chaos – tapestries, crates, paintings, statues, anything that isn’t nailed down. For this purpose, you are handed a range of magical artefacts.
Some of the artefacts have to be bought with gold, but there’s a tree in the game’s lobby area that grows wands of wind magic, pluckable for free. Wind magic is the Ringo Starr of the four elements, IMO, but the default wands are fun, especially given that you have unlimited mana. There’s a basic ‘Force Push’ style wind spell, used to blow the helmets off zombie knights, a levitation spell to enhance your parkour, and a summonable tornado that will happily engulf the caster.
