Dogged determination The mutant enemies inStalker 2: Heart of Chornobylare very hungry. Hungry not only for your flesh, but also all the bullets in your AK-47. It can take entire clips of ammo to take down some of these tough beasts, and you get nothing back for killing this wildlife except the hollow satisfaction of pest control. Alongside the bugs and performance issues, it’s a common enough complaint to players of the first-personsurvivalshooter that it’s already been addressed by a modder, who has created a tweak to lower the health of various dogs, boars, and bloodsuckers....

An MMOFB, then? A little teaser story to end the week, care ofMawreader MiniMatt.Factoriodevs Wube Software have dropped the vaguest of hints about their next game project, or at least, shared one of their current inspirations: World Of Warcraft. The news comes in the shape of awrap-up articleabout the Factorio Space Age expansion, which we think ispretty decent. There’s a few paragraphs on player stats, bugs and the official soundtrack, and then, a brief aside on future projects....

The games we wish had made the top 100 if it wasn’t horribly rigged Jeremy:The Secret of Monkey Island was the only classic point and click adventure game that made it onto the top 100, since there is probably LucasArts bias deep within the halls of RPS. I, however, was a Sierra kid growing up, and there was no Sierra series that moved me more than Quest for Glory. There also hasn’t been a franchise similar to Lori and Corey Cole’s mashup of adventure game mechanics and RPG stats ever since the ‘90s, and the fourth entry, 1993’s Shadows of Darkness, is the best....

A short, colourful FPS experiment with a free demo Kill The Man In The Houseis a video game title I can get behind. It tells me exactly what I need to do before I even boot up the game, which is otherwise powerfully weird-looking. The cover art is reminiscent of a children’s book, if it were for adults. Or a lost episode ofEd Edd and Eddy, where a fourth older sibling (Eddie) acts on his murderous intent and engages in some slickFPSing....

Also the return of double assassinations Assassin’s Creed Shadowsis making changes to how it handles stealth, versus other games in the long-running series. Gone is the companion eagle who can spot enemies for you, for a start; instead, players can hide in the - hey - shadows, lie on their tummies for the first time, and make use of a “shinobi and assassin arsenal” of smoke bombs and bells. There are old moves that are coming back after an absence, too: Shadows will allow for ‘double assassinations’ again....

But perhaps it’ll grow on me, like the fungus I have significant reservations aboutAvowed, Obsidian’s first-person Pillars Of Eternity spin-off RPG, but those reservations are significantly offset by the fact that I can be an undersea mushroom woman called Mystic Meg. In Avowed, you are the god-touched envoy of a distant emperor, sent to an island realm known as the Living Lands to investigate a mysterious blight. “God-touched”, in this case, means “fungal and a bit mermaidy”....

Anomalous material I’ll stand by myreviewwhen I say thatS.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is worth playing, in spite of it the many and varied ways in which it’s utterly broken. To be clear, though, itisutterly broken, inmany and varied ways. That makes my usual new-game performance analysis/settings guide song and dance harder to pull off, with or without theappropriate soundtrack. Is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 in such dire technical straits that we should wait for a few patches before giving it a shake?...

An exhaustive-ish list of its finest goon handles S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl stays largely faithful to the original series’ bleak yet inquisitive tone andpropensity for technical problems, but there’s another, much smaller feature that it also brings back: silly titles for its lesser NPCs. All the major and side characters are, indeed, characters, but rather than leave inconsequential henchmen and roving bandits nameless, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 assigns Zone-merc handles to each and every one of them....
