Half Lifey survival game Abiotic Factor is out now in early access

Freemanagement sim On the one hand, you’ve got to deal with interdimensional horrors of various flavours, such as multiple-storey cryptids and squishy skinless wolves; on the other, invading squads of Combiney soldiers. Fortunately, you’ve got a big fat Ivy League brain stuffed with knowledge of killer gadgets, base construction, subterranean farming and battlefield medicine.

Helldivers 2's next premium warbond arrives next week with new weapons, armour and winter weather capes

I do want that Purifier Helldivers 2oddly requires that I spend its in-game currency on items I don’t want (capes, helmets, any emote other than the hug) just so I can gain access to the items I do (sniper rifles, SMGs, other weapons that ultimately turn out to be worse than what I already had). I’m so far unconvinced by the need to pay real money to unlock a premium warbond, therefore....

Indika, the darkly comic story of a young nun in a surreal world, is out now

Nun Simulator XIX You might assume thatIndikawill be dour, given that it’s a story-driven game about a nun in a grey, cold, alternative Russia. Then you watch its trailers and find surrealist imagery, genre-hopping, and a bleak sense of humour are part of its arsenal, and suddenly it seems, to me, irresistible. It’s out now. I love this trailer, and several of its previous trailers. Well done, trailer editor. Edwin spoke to the co-founder of developer Odd Meter, Dmitry Setlov, late last year, who explicitly described Indika as “boring”, even as it’s shot through with what Edwin described as phantasmagorical flourishes....

However, I do enjoy making maps turn a different colour instrategygames, Total War chiefly among them....

Rabbit And Steel gives you the thrills of an MMO raid without the preceding mega-grind, and it has a demo

Featuring chibi bunny girls I haven’t ever raided in anMMORPGlike World Of Warcraft for several reasons, one of which is the time commitment.

Should you bother with... Wi-Fi 7?

The hows and Wis of the latest in cable-free connectivity Despite this, Wi-Fi 6E has had a bit of a rough time, taking years to achieve even somewhat widespread adoption. That’s thanks to an awkward mingling of early component shortages, higher hardware prices, and a lack of interest from users who remained happy with Wi-Fis 5 and 6. Thus, Wi-Fi 7 aims to make a greater stride forward. Besides keeping the 6GHz band, its theoretical speed limit of 46Gbit/s is overfour timeshigher than that of the previous generation, and it doubles the width of the data channels it uses....
