Our review will splash down next week We’ll have a review ofPlanet Coaster 2soon, but I keep making Brendy do other tasks so he’s not had enough time yet to ride the rails. That means it falls to me to at least let you know that Frontier’s theme park builder is out now. The sequel’s big new feature is the ability to fill your theme park with water, crafting pools and slides alongside your more traditional rides, or combining the two Splash Mountain-style....

They don’t like it Back in the misty reaches of time (March) popular farming simStardew Valleygot a big update thatadded more petsto the game (it also let you drink mayonaise but let’s not get sidetracked). Those new cats, dogs, and turtles had the cute distinction of being able to wear hats, should you choose to kit your wee friends out. Now, following many months of smaller updates to the game, it seems those hats are causing a problem....

Whose bones, Rich? Whose bones?! Ogres, Orcs, and Khorne are all on the way in the upcoming expansion forstrategygameTotal War: Warhammer 3, and Creative Assembly have just released their latest dev vlog with a few more details on what to expect. There’s still no word on the exact title, although given the established naming convention (Shadows Of Change, Thrones Of Decay), I’m tentatively calling it “Sniffers Of Glue” in honour of the No Think, Only Krump faction selection....

funnyclip.mp4 Steam’s built-in game recording feature has been usable in beta since the summer, but it has now been properly launched for every user, following a client update to Steam yesterday. It’s basically another method of capturing funny ragdoll glitches and posting them on the “lol-games-are-dumb” channel of your friend’s Discord. Or for posting that flukey knife throw in Call Of Duty to Twitter, as if you really meant to kill the man from across the map all along....

Here’s the kicker The trailer for Bambas! starts off innocently enough. It’s an “innovative urban walking simulator” in which you play a disembodied pair of shoes, individually moved with a controller’s analog sticks and trigger buttons. The first half of the trailer is all whimsy and playground fun - kicking a football, standing on a climbing frame, riding a skateboard. But then a note of darkness creeps in, as the player begins to channel the sheer nihilistic inconsequentiality of a world in which shoes have no thinking human bodies to restrain them....

“Spawn tuning will be an ongoing process” Early reactions toCall Of Duty: Black Ops 6multiplayer range from frothing dislike throughomnimovement hypeto our own Ed Thorn’sdead-eyed appraisalthat it’s “a good one, I think.

Nic clued me in onthis reddit threadearlier, which cites unnamed Chinese players who’ve allegedly data-mined the beta’s monster models, and learned that they are extremely large, encompassing hundreds of thousands of polygons. If every monster inMonster Hunter Wildswere that fancy all of the time, your computer would become a volcano....

Agent 47? As a yearly blockbuster, Call of Duty, through sheer expense and effort, would like you to think it is the Die Hard of video games. Or, depending on the setting, the Saving Private Ryan of video games. But it is barely Black Hawk Down. This latest campaign inCall Of Duty: Black Ops 6reminds me more of the forgettable Netflix shootfests that thumbnail their way across your TV screen as you try to find some gritty nothing to aid you in zoning out of life....

Performance, settings, and battery life tested Discourse? Look mate, I’m just here to test theSteam Deck.Dragon Age: The Veilguardruns like a tapon any halfway decent desktop hardware, so was naturally going to be worth trying on the weaker Deck.
