Rally Point: Cyber Knights: Flashpoint is both worth playing, and worth waiting for a little longer

Cyber Cyber, turning fight I’m a tad biased by my love for their previousStar Traders Colon Frontiers, an interest inmercenary management, and a wish for more turn-based tactics games that aren’t bloody XCOM again. That I have reservations about what CKF hasn’t yet nailed down is in part a symptom of high expectations. And because despite carrying over some design ethos from Frontiers, Cyber Knights is a very different kind of game....

Speaking of Black Friday handheld PC deals, here’s the Lenovo Legion Go at its lowest price ever

Save £221 / $200 on the most unique portable PC around Okay okay, justonemore handheld deal then I’ll look at some desktop stuff. But here’s a properly chunkyBlack Fridaydiscount on the most endearingly out-thereSteam Deckrival to date, theLenovo Legion Go: the 512GB model has shed hundreds of pounds/dollaridoos to fall all the way to £479 / $500. That’s really not a lot for something that goes full luxe on its display and build quality, not to mention its party trick of letting the two controller sections split off, Nintendo-switch style, with one acting as a portable mouse....

The next game from the Lies Of P studio sounds like it might just fill a Dead Space shaped hole in my heart

No strings, only scares Seeing great games sell too poorly for the pursestring goblins to shell out for a sequel is always a heartache, but it really stung to learn that the incredibleDead Spaceremake didn’tcatch on enoughfor EA to greenlight a remake ofDead Space 2(even if EA were a little spotty on the details). Doubly so in the wake ofThe Callisto Protocol- a game I still think is worth picking up on a deep discount, if you like hitting gross things with a big bit of metal....
