Chaos, crime, and… cabbages? “Deus Exbut tiny and hilarious” is how I pitch the firstStreets of Rogueto people in elevators. Then I kick the elevator control panel to pieces, climb out the hatch, and cut the cord with a buzzsaw I smuggled in earlier. “It’s also total chaos!” I yell, as the elevator plummets. “Ha ha ha ha ha ha!“Streets of Rogue 2is looking similarly chaotic. But one thing has been brought to order: its release date....

It’s very pretty Shown off at the PC Gaming Show the other day,Generation Exileis a sustainable turn-basedcitybuilderwith some real talent behind it. It’s being developed by Sonderlust Studios, headed up byMark Of The Ninja’s lead designer Nels Anderson, alongside other talented developers like Karla Zimonja, who worked onGone Home. Yeah, it’s definitely one to watch. Generation Exile is set aboard humanity’s final bastion of hope: a big ship where all of its natural resources are dwindling....

Another Electro boss, another good Electro Echo Wondering how to beat the Thundering Mephis boss in Wuthering Waves?Guarding the Withering Frontline inWuthering Waves’Desorock Highland, the Thundering Mephis is an Electro boss similar to the nearbyTempest Mephis. The Thundering Mephis teleports frequently, though, making it a harder boss to predict. However, if you know what’s in store after it teleports, you can easily avoid its attacks and get its HP bar down efficiently to grab its powerful Echo....

Bird-ensome I Am Your Beastis a tactical, smack-tical, I hope this tree branch doesn’t crack-tical while I’m hopping off it to land on this dude’s back-ticalFPS. It’s from Strange Scaffold, ofEl Paso, ElsewhereandBooked For The Weekfame. It is a euphoric splurge of murderous game verbiage that has you chaining together thrown knives and solar plexus punches, headshots and tree-fu. Lob an empty pistol at your screen, and then replace it, because you’ll need it to watch the trailer below....

Ace of case Update:There’s now a separateProject Killswitch for the ROG Ally Xas well, which kinds of spoils my headline but WHATEVER. Original article continues below: One of my absolute most favouritestSteam Deck cases, besides the one you get for free with theSteam Deck OLED, is the Dbrand Project Killswitch. It’s not so much a carrying vessel as a hardened second skin, providing protection without all the bag-hogging bulk of a traditional case – while throwing in handy bonuses like a clip-on kickstand and grippy thumbstick covers....

That is all It’s a good thing I’m a big fan ofPrince Of Persia: The Lost Crown, because it’s only that underyling fandom that’s making me write this post about the upcoming story DLC. The tease during this evening’s Ubisoft Forward did nothing for me, other than confirm a name, Mask Of Darkness, and a release window in September. The rest of the information in the trailer above focused on streamers reacting to the base game, and on free updates with additions that havealready been releasedor that we already knew were coming....

Even three years after its original reveal - and two years after it had originally been schedule to come out - The Sands of Time remake wasstill said to be in an “early stage” of “conception”according to producer Jean-Francois Naud. Not exactly reassuring news. Over a year on from that last update - and coming up on four years since it was first unveiled, for those keeping count -Prince of Persia: The Sands of Timereappeared, to describe its flitting tease generously, during tonight’s Ubisoft Forward showcase....

Where we’re going, we don’t need roads. Because it’s space, innit? It’s been almost a decade sinceRebel Galaxyably picked up the sci-fi trading and exploration mantle handed down byFreelancer, but it looks like a successor to the serene galaxy-venturing vibes of both is finally upon us.Star Truckeris exactly what it sounds like, transplanting the chill A-to-Z courier journeys ofEuro Truck Simulatorto the interplanetary, uh, roads of space. It’s out this September, and it looks wonderful....

60 minutes with Massive Entertainment’s grand yet bland spin-off story I’ve been trying to figure out what “scoundrelly” means in a videogame context. Whatever it means, Han Solo homageStar Wars Outlawsain’t it. Here are some basically non-scoundrelly, very Ubisofty things I did during my 60 minutes with Massive Entertainment’sopen worldadaptation at Summer Game Fest this week: climbed around rectangular arrangements of yellow handholds. Shot at baddies over rectangular cover layouts. Collected 7/10 pieces of scrap with some Star Wars flavour text that unlocked an item recipe of some kind....

Steal, cook, trade, assassinate - or just romance everyone you meet For me, sandbox games are never better when there’s an inherent chaos about to erupt at any given second. In a literal sandbox that might be anything from a kid burying a freshly-laid turd like a mischievous cat ready to be stepped on by an unsuspecting trespasser, gathering handfuls of grit to lob in a another kids’ eyes or swallowing a bunch of sand (hopefully turd-free) in pursuit of alchemising diamonds in their stomach....

Breachy keen We continue to rummage through the debris caused by the horrendous pile-up of summer video game announcements. Among the wreckage, a release date forTactical Breach Wizards, the funny strategy game in which you play a ragtag crew of uniformed magic-zappers clearing enemies in confined spaces. It’s not XCOM, but it is XCOM-ing soon. That’s about as good a joke as I can muster on a Monday morning. Don’t worry, there are funnier ones in the trailer below....

How do you take your soulslike? How do you like your coffee? For those who answer: “served by a barista with ten arms wearing a mask adorned with intense scarlet lipstick”, you are in luck. The multi-limbed coffee shop owner ofFlintlock: The Siege of Dawnis, indeed, a reassuring sight, since they are the ones who sell the player fashionable jackets and trousers to wear while you axe enemy heads to bloody fragments....
