I’m glad I won’t have to say “Slitterhead” out loud in meetings ever again No, sadly not. It’s no doubt built a compelling universe filled with brain-sucking aliens that masquerade as humans, and it attempts plenty else besides: bouncing between bodies as you stealth around dingy apartment blocks, fighting with blood katanas, and gorging on pools of red plasma to refuel skills, many of which require more body-flitting. Thing is, they are ultimately justattempts, attempts that fall victim to an emptiness and jitteriness that quickly reveals Slitterhead’s true, irritating form....

One more round It’s tempting to frameStraftatas a throwback to an older, better time for the multiplayerFPS, when the lingo was coded in frags and gibs and sucking it down, when satisfaction was drawn entirely from performance rather than some convoluted, artificial system of progression. Not only would this be inaccurate, but it would also do a disservice to what Straftat truly is, namely a wild overcorrection in response to the direction of modern multiplayer gunfests, one that careens straight through retro stations to arrive somewhere new and exciting....

Water way to respond When nightmarish sci-fi extraction shooterThe Forever Winterlaunched into early access in September it wassomewhat messy. Bugs and maddening enemy spawns diminished the tension of being a fleshy human scavenger in a mech battlefield. But one feature annoyed some players much more - fresh water. See, you need to keep your headquarters stocked with water, as it gets steadily used by your settlement’s inhabitants. The catch being that this water diminishes even while you’re not playing the game....

How does one break the femur of a slime? One of my lesser quality tests for anRPGis whether the shopkeepers complain at you for not buying anything. Grumpy shopkeepers, good RPG. This most specific of litmus tests has served me well, although I must admit that I’d happily upgrade it to ‘shopkeepers you can attack’, would that not disqualify 99% of games. But not turn based dungeon crawlerThysiastery, it turns out....

It “could bring new advertisers to our service” Twitch haveintroduceda new “Politics and Sensitive Social Issues” label for streams that “focus” on topics like “elections, civic integrity, and war or military conflict”. As with the streaming giant’s existing labels for M-rated material, sexual themes or depictions of gambling, the idea is that viewers can filter out such streams in advance by altering their settings. Advertisers, similarly, can “make better choices about the content they want to advertise next to” - in other words, pull their ads from a whole swathe of material if they don’t want to be associated with anything controversial....

But maybe that’s the point The mystery surroundingDeadlock, Valve’s work-in-progress MOBA shooter, has largely evaporated. Its freely extendable invite system is about as effective at controlling player headcount as adisinterested football steward, meaning pretty much anyone with a clued-in Steam friend can get in and start poking around its secrets. And yet, being a lane-pushing wizard fighter in theDota 2vein, it’s already a vast tangle of interplaying abilities, items, strats, and often unspoken rules, of the kind that even experienced gankists will take hundreds of hours to learn....

I guess sometimes legends do die The game’sSteam pagedisplays a message at the top that notes it is “no longer available on the Steam store.” An in-game message announces the closure. Obviously Legends never found a huge, adoring audience, but as ever I find it infuriating that live service and free-to-play games are just a slip-and-slide of unpredictable length pointing straight into a bin. No offline mode, no chance of finding an audience in future, just: bin....
