Didn’t it already come to PC? We don’t know anything about what the extended ending entails yet, and I’m not sure the other inclusions are enough to draw anyone who’s already completed the game back in. Fugue is the new ability coming to Deathloop, which basically gets people drunk. I do like the look of the weapon coming with Goldenloop, an energy rifle that fires a continuous beam that can bounce off turrets and cameras....

It’s kinda a big deal Hand Of Fatewas such a singular thing. On the one hand, it was a tabletop deckbuilding game that saw you picking through roguelike-style dungeons by choosing different cards dealt out by its mysterious Dealer. On the other, it was also an action-packed hack and slasher, bringing its fantastical fight sections to life in fully 3D combat arenas - and there hasn’t been anything quite like it since....

HowLongToBeat is finally used for good The Xbox app now offers estimates for how long a Game Pass game might take you to beat, to help guide your decisions on what to play next. Integrating numbers fromHowLongToBeat, most Game Pass games' pages now suggests how long a game is in several playstyles: finishing the main story; doing the main story and optional extras; and absolutely 100%ing everything. While I usually find talk of game length is tied into awful opinions that longer is better, I think this is great info to know on Game Pass....

Learn how to put together the best possible Dori build Want to learn how to create the best Dori build in Genshin Impact?Poor Dori has been a bit overshadowed prior to her introduction inGenshin Impact. As the first non-Dendro character from Sumeru, not to mention the second Electro healer added in as many months, Dori may not have made such a huge impression as some of her fellows. However, I’m fully of the belief that there are no bad characters in Genshin Impact, and if you’ve added this little bundle of claymore-wielding joyful chaos to your archive, you’ll naturally want to make the most of her....

Time and time travel and art This week on the Electronic Wireless Show podcast we, prompted by friendly listener OurSuperior, talk about the best changes of eras in games. As you can imagine, this is an easier task for Nate than it is to me, because many of his favourite games are predicated around era changes. Thus I find myself in the position of arguing semantics. How the turn tables have turned....
