Warner Bros. say it’ll be a tough year-on-year comparison Wiedenfels made the statement during a financial call to investors. Suicide Squad was released on February 2nd. Last February, Warner Bros. releasedHogwarts Legacy, which sold extremely well. Rocksteady’s return to the superhero genre has beenbeset by persistent server and login issues, but the game that lies beyond those issues has also been heavily criticised. “There’s a really excellent single-player action game hiding somewhere deep insideSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, calling out for help from beneath a few metric tonnes of loot-addled drudgery,” wrote Steve Hogarty in ourSuicide Squad review....

It follows on directly from the movie, with hack-and-slash combat and plenty of pixel art gore. I am mostly interested in it because it includes a BMX, with cycling used to aid traversing a world as seemingly filled with ramps and half-pipes as with genre-staples like moving platforms and flying enemies. “It’s a really fun and earnest comedy-adventure-horror about teens and villains in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. Characters are more than punchlines....

There’ll be some notable gameplay changes, too, with the potential for some fairly major changes to classic strategies. One example is that titans will now be more powerful against walls and buildings, with the ability to traverse rivers and oceans - making them much more of a threat on island maps.

Last night was the night when two became one What happens when you combine two great puzzle games? You get one puzzle game which makes me, an accredited professional fool, feel dizzy with noncomprehension. That game isSokobond Express, which launched yesterday and combines the atom-shoving chemistry ofSokobondwith the route-planning puzzling ofCosmic Express. So you have to draw paths around a grid to gather atoms to correctly build a desired molecule. That’s all....

From the Land Of Shadow’s history to Messmer’s true identity, here’s everything we know about Shadow Of The Erdtree When does Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree release?It’s long been known that FromSoftware, developers of the phenomenally successfulElden Ring, have been quietly working away at a very large piece of DLC for their new flagshipRPG. Until recently, we’ve had very little information about the upcomingShadow Of The Erdtreeexpansion. But that’s all changed thanks to the new Shadow Of The Erdtree trailer, which has answered a wealth of questions and raised several more in the process....

Not the fastest drive, but perhaps the most fascinating PCIe 3.0 option. For systems that accept PCIe 4.0 or PCIe 5.0 drives, I’d recommend sticking with our usualgaming SSD recommendations, but for PCIe 3.0 systems this is a fascinating option that emphasises random performance against sequential speeds. I recorded some of the very fastest game load times with this drive when Itested it against other PCIe 3.0 options, and its random write speeds are competitive even with later generation PCIe 4....

Solo play reveals a stealth sim with a playful side I was flat on my belly on an Automaton planet the other day, being steadily driven back into the sea by waves of ramshackle AT-AT wannabes, when a switch flipped in my head amid the white noise of impending defeat, and I found myself saying “by golly,Helldivers 2feels a lot likeMetal Gear Solid 5.” Sadly, there was nobody to overhear my brainfart/stroke of genius, because I was playing the game solo....

Perhaps this settings guide can help Credit toNightingale, I’ve been enjoying the early access form of Inflexion’s gaslamp fantasysurvivalcrafter a fair bit more than I didits older stress test build. The UI is cleaner and tighter, and I’ve had more space to explore (and enjoy) the mysterious nooks of its magic ‘n’ moustaches world. There’s potential here, but it’s very much the raw kind, especially when performance needs as much work as it does....
