Fun fact: internet acronym GOAT stands for “the goatest of all time” A goat or a lamb - which makes the better sacrifice? Trick question, it’s neither. The best sacrifices are old rich people. InCult of the Lamb’s next update, Unholy Alliance, you can sacrifice folks with a pal. The upcoming free update will add a co-op goat character so a friend can indoctrinate and stab alongside you. The developers have shown off the two-player update amid thesummer news plaguethat is threatening to tear entire branches off the RPS treehouse this week....

That’s the spooky month, don’t you know Looking at theSteam page, there’s a few different bloody chunks of idea-meat that look to separate this one from the limping pack. All eight players start at different points on the map, communicating, scavenging, and hopefully meeting up to survive the onslaught. The undead are highly reactive to noise, and since permadeath is a big feature, every single loss really stings for the survival chances of the remaining humans....

Based on the in-game TV show Night Springs is a fictional TV show within the world ofAlan Wake 2, so of course that’s also the focus of the meta-horror action game’s expansion. It’s three episodes, and it’s out in under 24 hours. Much like the base game, the three episodes seem set to blur the lines between fiction and reality. Shawn Ashmore and Sam Lake both feature in the trailer above, but apparently any characters returning from Alan Wake 2 will be playing different, Night Springs-versions of themselves, and each episode focuses on a different character....

They all look rad, and Outersloth itself is a cool initiative. “It’s no secret the games industry has been through a lot of turmoil with layoffs and a lack of funding,” reads the announcement release. “Innersloth is incredibly lucky to have been able to find success and stay truly independent: no investors, no publishers, no acquisitions....

Players decide the evolving story by playing matches Grid-basedpuzzlerGrindstonewas a favouriteof Katharine’s, who found it to be her go-to during regularly scheduled moments of “cat-based paralysis”. I didn’t spent quite so many hours of feline enforced stasis with it, but I too was drawn in for a respectable time chunk. It’s those detail-stuffed visuals and caffeinated animations that tipped it for me, and it’s the same art that have me excited for Capybara’s follow-up....

Possess and pulverise The trailer begins with a glum detective dude walking down an alleyway and discovering what appears to be a discarded human skinsuit in a dumpster. Just your average Friday night hooliganism. We see the aforesaid gloomy policeman standing in front of an evidence board, which implies there’s some actual detectivising in the game. But then comes a bit of a gear shift in the shape of a possession mechanic where you control a flying yellow blob that zips into the heads of various rando civilians....

You know what time it is In what is only the third ever piece of videogame-related media to make me weep at my keyboard, Volgar the Viking devs and retro specialists Digital Eclipse have announced a Power Rangers videogame - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind. It’s a 90s-style 2D brawler for up to five players, involves “time twisting”, and has mode-7-esque arcade shooter bits together with its own spin on the TV show’s climactic mecha transformation sequences....

Watch your cub pal grow into a wolf later this year Nevais immediately recognisable as the next puzzle platformer from the developers behindGristhanks to its sweeping, overlapping planes and effortlessly natural watercolour art, which were both on show again in tonight’s Geoffest Summer Game Fest show. I was expecting more eye candy from Neva afterits announcement last summer, but what caught me by surprise was all the hacking and slashing that ensues in its second trailer....

Rags-to-riches by means of blood-and-guts Stare into an abyss for long enough and, as Nietzsche wrote, a mostly naked man will wobble out of the abyss and try to murder you with a mattock. Inasmuch as can be told in the absence of dialogue or a text preamble, the naked man wants to murder you because you, and not he, are in possession of a hat. The hat makes you look like an eraser pencil from Forbidden Planet....

Broom broom Quidditch Champions lets you play as four positions in the fantasy sport - Chaser, Seeker, Beater and Keeper. Some footage of the game leaked last year which suggested the presence of title Potter characters like Ron Weasley. It’s not clear whether that footage is representative of the game as it stands - Warner have of course yanked it from circulation.
