Cough! Splutter! Sneeze! Excuse me, it’s mighty dusty in here all of a sudden. Exceedingly dirty alleged leaked images of both the Asus ROG Ally 2 and what could be Microsoft’s rumoured “Project Kennan” gaming handheld have burst forth from the tissues of the internet in a shower of dead skin particles and grime.
Fanatical’s new Bethesda bundle deal is a rare case where you get full control — pick the games you actually want, from Fallout: New Vegas and Oblivion to Dishonored and The Evil Within 2.
One of the programmers behind the very first Grand Theft Auto has praised Rockstar for delaying GTA 6‘s initial release to May next year, observing (not in so many words) that the developers could have rushed out an early release consisting of a city’s worth of T-posing NPCs and whitebox freeways, and people would still have paid top dollar for the game.
Polar Star is, basically, rock paper pistol, but with a few dab-handed puzzle twists that make it instantly compelling. You’re a saloon dwelling varmint sat at a table with nothing but your six shooter and a glass of whiskey for company, and you’re accosted by a chain of ne’er-do-wells. Perhaps there’s a bounty on your head. Perhaps it’s their whiskey you’re drinking. It’s not clear, but it seems nefarious. You know what ne’er-do-wells are like.
Last month, FromSoftware announced that Elden Ring would be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, which is wonderful for that plumber guy, but mostly meant piss all for us PC people. The thing is, this version of the game actually comes with some new stuff, and I like new stuff, and publisher Bandai Namco only vaguely said all the new bits would be coming to “other platforms”. But! I bring good news, as yes, the Switch 2 Tarnished Edition extras are coming to PC as part of a Tarnished Pack DLC.
Alright, look, I get it. There’s a lot of farming sims already. There’s even the odd anime inspired farming sim here and there. But Tales of Seikyu, which fits into that second camp, is different, I promise, because it has dating – and I think you can date an anthropomorphic otter man. I’m not talking queer slang here to be clear, though the character does kind of fit that meaning too. I’m talking about a man that looks like an otter, who walks around on two legs.
While Bungie is obviously quite busy presumably stressing over lukewarm responses to its next game Marathon, they’re still working on a bunch of Destiny 2 stuff. The studio revealed a plethora of expansions today, all of which are building up a new “multi-year saga” called the Fate Saga. We’ll get to it in a moment, but one of these expansions might raise an eyebrow, as it is quite literally a Star Wars crossover, but is also described by narrative designer Alison Luhrs as one that will push the Fate Saga “forward in important ways and introduce characters that we’re going to spend time with for years to come.”
I think this Alienware AW3225QF is one of the most impressive displays I’ve seen hit the $900 mark in a long time.
I’m a bit of a sucker for weird genre combos. With the amount of games getting released every single day that often combine the same kinds of genres, you start to get hungry for mashups that make you go, “hang on, would that even work?” So when I saw Drop Duchy release yesterday, which mixes Tetris, land-grabbing strategy, deckbuilding and roguelite gameplay, I asked that exact question. Turns out the answer is yes!
Stellaris is one of those forever games where occasionally I’ll see that it’s released something new and think “dang, that old dog is still truckin’ along?” It seems to be that time of year again, as both a big update for the game as well as a new expansion dropped yesterday. Paradox previously described this as a “phoenix update” to try and sort out a bunch of the game’s long-running issues, as well as make some tweaks to help bring in new players.
