Plus: new weapon balance tables! A huge scary bearded man has just kicked down my door. His face and shoulders are doused in tactical Dorito dust. His eyes are heavily redacted. He’s got assault rifles and comparison screenshots poking out of his ribcage, which are making an absolute mess of the hallway plaster. He says he is Call Of Duty Man, and he is here to let me know aboutBlack Ops 6’s day one patch....

I can’t beliege it New Polish studio From Chaos consist of former members of Witcher developers CD Projekt Red,Frostpunkdevelopers 11 bit studios and 4X household Paradox Interactive, led by erstwhile Gwent programmer Tomek Dietrich - so it’s no huge surprise that their debut game,Liegecraft, is a big beardy historicalstrategyRPG. It’s a hex and turn-based experience in which you play a dinky little despot running around a medieval world building castles, taking vassals, mustering armies, and going on quests that involve branching dialogue....

How two people developed this is beyond me I know there’s a lot of goodmetroidvaniasfloating around, but I implore you to take a look atStardust Demon. Developed by two-person queer married team resnijars, it looks like a real charmer. All bright and fuzzy and with plenty of alien weirdness to hop over or battle, with lots of FMV cutscenes to bring those colourful characters closer to your eyeballs. It’s also out now, which is good for people like me who crave bizzarovanias....

Also adds overclocking controls, for the confident or mad It’s hard to pick out the highlights from theSteam Deck’s latest SteamOS update, 3.6.19, just because its collection of tweaks and fixes seems to span the entire gamut of handheld PC hardware as a concept. Graphics driver improvements! Third-partySSDsworking better! More balanced display colours! No more “spurious power LED blinking”! Brilliant, I hate spurious power LED blinking. The original LCD Deck also now gets theSteam Deck OLED’s overclocking controls in the BIOS, which you’re welcome to try if you’re braver than I am about cranking up the temperatures of a already squished-in handheld chip....

I don’t know where I’m going with this To be fair, there are several, far more substantial additions teased inTotal War: Warhammer 3design director Mitchell Heastie’slatest blogon thestrategy game’s upcoming Patch 5.3. There’s also some interesting insight regarding design decisions, and the systems CA are hoping to tweak in the future. We’ll talk about that in a moment, but first, I must draw your attention to this magical map. I’m very excited about it....

A little too lethal The developers ofWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2have released an update to the third-person shooter that reverts a lot of tough difficulty changes made in a previous patch. Turns out upping the spawn rate of the vicious Tyrannid baddies across all difficulty modes was not welcome among the meathead murder boys of the Imperium. And this change wasn’t the only one that caused enough ructions to justify hasty recalibrations from Saber Interactive....

Hammer time In order to makeWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2enjoyable, Saber Interactive had to make the Space Marines less like Space Marines. That’s to say, less like “semi-lobotomized, hypnotically indoctrinated slave-soldiers in thrall to an uncaring (and possibly non-existent) god”, inthe words of Rick Priestley, primary writer for the originalWarhammer 40,000: Rogue Traderrulebooks back in the 1980s. In Warhammer 40,000’s supposedly satirical, definitively grimdark Imperium Of Man, the Space Marines are the genetically engineered sons and warrior-monks of the Emperor, a messianic figure reduced to a dreaming corpse on the Golden Throne, whose immense psychic emissions serve as a kind of spirit lighthouse for interstellar travel....

First draft Windblownlooks rad. It’s an action-roguelite for 1-3 players in which you dash-and-slash in rapid combat on floating islands, and I am extremely interested in feeling its game-feel for myself. Good news! I can get my game-feelers on it now because it’s out in Early Access today. If you watch its launch trailer below out of context however, you might be fooled into thinking it’s actually the emo second half of an Isekai anime series....

The priciest Deck rival yet, albeit one with loads of hardware tricks Zotac are one of the bettergraphics cardmakers of thepost-EVGAera, so even as the early pangs of handheld gaming PC fatigue start to creep in, I’ve been keeping a hopeful eye on theZotac Zone. This is their take on aSteam Deckrival, or more specifically, theSteam Deck OLED, as this is the first real competitor to go for a similarly star-bright, colour-erupting AMOLED display....
