Here's a free miniature town-builder with trams from the creator of Viewfinder

Dutch ado about something Sometimes I want to play a video game, and sometimes I just want to assemble a quiet little Dutch town with iron bridges, fountains and dinky trams bustling about like bumble bees. The project in question isTramstertram. Aside from being a terrifying feat of punmanship, it’s a browser-based building toy from Matt Stark, creator of thereally rather lovely Viewfinder. Released a few hours ago, Tramstertram gives you a rotatable 3D scene with a choice of tiles to plonk down - townhouses, streets, tram rails, and parkland, all of which coalesce into larger structures when you slot them together....

Splitgate 2 will add bum slides and time-altering bubbles to its portal-hopping shootsing

Slidegate The firstSplitgatewas a cracker mash-up ofHalomultiplayer gunfights andPortal’s nifty spacetime windows. It was a gimmick that made flanking fun again, at least until you died to a distant rifle that was right next to you all along. Its sequel,Splitgate 2is continuing that gimmick but is also sprucing up the free-to-play arena shooter with a few modern additions, like bum-sliding around corners and big deployable bubbles called “time domes” that slow down your enemies yet speed up your allies....

The Crush House review: sassiety of the spectacle

Maniac McMansion When I zoom the camera on Alex’s momentarily untensed face while he’s dozing by the pool, it’s not because I’m a creep. When I pursue Ayo and Dija around the garden, keeping their feet and butts in shot as they belittle each other, it’s not because I’m a busybody and a lech. And when I pan to the lighthouse piercing the sunset beyond the security spikes it’s not out of any feeling of wonder, or even curiosity about possible escape routes....

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 PvP multiplayer certainly has that old timey Gears Of War energy

Who wants toast? Yesterday, Nic took James and I on a tour ofWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s co-op campaign. A merry old time was had, romping through fortress cities like a small herd of crusader buffalo, using the game’s absurd jetpack functionality to pancake invading Tyranids, and getting our screens so slathered in gore we couldn’t work out who was killing what. It looks like the gargantuanactiongame’s PvPmultiplayerwill be even messier....

7 Dos and 7 Don'ts in 7 Days To Die

A sorta review You’re a long time undead.7 Days To Diewas shuffling along in early access for 11 years, until version 1.0 finallyburst through the windows. In that time, many other survival games have sprouted, blossomed, and gently faded away. I first visited the burnt-out ruins of this zombie-infested world a decade ago and I returned to it this week to find a tree-puncher that, despite bearing the pockmarks of early access, retains much of what made it enjoyable back when the survival genre was still wearing its baby onesie....

Cat Quest 3's pun-soaked animal pirate action-RPG is out on Steam now

Co-op cats Did The Gentlebros come up with the pun “Pi-Rats” and then work backwards from there in deciding thatCat Quest 3should be pirate themed? Or was “Purr-ibean” the initiating pun? I feel that the action-RPG sequel had to begin with one of wordplay or another, given that its Steam page boasts that it also has “furr-ocious spells” and “gla-meow-rous costumes”. It’s also claws-out now on Steam, which has me feline fine....
