Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is worth revisiting after a year of updates

It needed more levels and less crafting and, well, it does have more levels I’ve recently returned toWarhammer 40,000: Darktide, one year after the grimdarkLeft 4 Dead’em up launched and eleven months after I stopped playing. It was always fun totear through the grubby guts of a Gothic industrial megacitywith your chainsword, but it became repetitive and its whole loot-o-crafting mess sucked. A year on, the loot and crafting still suck, but I’ve really enjoyed the variety added by new levels and weapons and the polish from a year of tweaks and quality-of-life changes....

If Scorn was a bullet hell game, it'd be Angel At Dusk, which has a frantic demo

“Uncompromisingly skeletal” I was in two minds about whether to write this up, because it is a teensy bit NSFW, but I take solace in the thought that my ideas of NSFW content aren’t so much “tame” as “selectively bred to the point that I can only perceive the colour beige”, and besides which, I haven’t played an outright body horror-themed bullet hell/danmaku shooter before. The two genres aren’t worlds apart - R-Type’s bosses, for example, are very Gigery, but they’re nothing like as icky as the creatures you face inAngel At Dusk, in which every projectile appears to be some species of maggot, and your ship is a sort of evolving flesh-moth faerie reminiscent of China Mieville’s Perdido Street Station....

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s release date has been delayed again, but only on Epic Games Store

Will now land a month after Steam Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehas found time to add one more delay to the game’s multi-year wait on a release. This one is at least a lot shorter than its previous slides, and will only affect a single storefront: the Epic Games Store. Kill the Justice League is Rocksteady’s somewhat surprising follow-on from its Batman Arkham games - surprising in that it looks to be more DCestiny thanArkham Asylum, tied together with live service elements such as a battle pass, loot collection, an always-online requirement and a greater focus on co-op open-world play than focused single-player story....
