Norco-laboration The music in haunting 2DadventureNorcowas so good it’s one of the few soundtracks I’ve actually bought on Steam, so I’m deeply intrigued to learn that developer Geography of Robots are putting music - and dancing - front and center in the new demo for their next project,Silenus. You can bop your way between screens, reader! Swapping out Norco’s Southern gothic for techno industrial (also somewhat gothic) vibes, Silenus offers the chance to “uncover the secrets of an oil refinery operated by an obscure organization in this short, atmospheric narrative adventure....

Alongside a new map Risk Of Rain 2is one of my faveactionroguelikes, as it’s a good time with pals and has all the hallmarks of things I enjoy most in my games: shooting and looting. That’s why the latest free update excites me so, as it introduces an artifact that makes chests malicious and another that lets you hatch angry lizard companions. Oh, and there’s a new map, too. The Devotion Update, AKA version 1....

Par for the Norse Three questions before we start: If, however, you answered ‘no’ to any of the above questions, consider your purchase carefully.Hellblade2 doesn’t so much expand upon the ideas of the original as double-down on them, offering a leaner, meaner version of a concept that wasn’t exactly overgenerous in the first instance. It’s more harrowing, more fleeting, more linear and more contemptuous of player agency. It’s entirely happy to make sacrifices to get to where it wants, and if you try to step in the way, well, up on the altar you’ll go....

Work-life balance The neighbourhood citizens ofLife By Youare positioning themselves as bright-eyed pretenders toThe Sims. But in this ultimate game of keeping-up-with-the-Jones, the life sim from Paradox has slipped on a wet kitchen tile. The game has been delayed for a third time, and the developers are reluctant to set a new date for the planned release into early access. “[We] believe it is more prudent to hold off while we plan ahead,” said Mattias Lilja of Paradox Interactive, “rather than committing to a new date that we cannot be certain to meet....

Price cut The unused ending has been restored by a “yoyo1love”, a YouTuber who likes to mess about in the game’s files. It’s been uploaded by another user, Vlad Loktionov. The cut sequence looks to have been intended as a post-credits scene. As you can see, Captain Price is briefly visited by a shadowy figure in the background. He then tumbles over and drops his lit cigar which rolls weakly away from him, a loss of comforting tobacco possibly charged with symbolism and also possibly charged with nothing....

Rock ‘n’ roll for initiative I may have winced a bit, initially, at Alice Bee’s choice ofRPS Game Clubgame for this month.Deathbulge: Battle of the Bandslooked funny and all, but it’s a turn-basedRPG, a subgenre that usually elicits the same amount of enthusiasm from me as the phrase “by Ernest Cline"does from Alice. Deathbulge, however, is a clever little sod of a game, managing to devise not only a turn-based combat system that avoids the usual waiting-around tedium but one that’s outright good fun in itself....

Treatment is simple. Go play game. Funny. Wackyspacestation management simStartopiaand wacky hosptial sim Theme Hospital are two of my favourite older games, so I was very pleased with the concept ofGalacticare, which is a wacky space station hospitalmanagementsim. And you know what? It’s great! From early reveals and previews I thought it might veer into beingtoowacky, but it nails its tone, has some really striking levels, and bugs in earlier builds have been squashed (much as you can manually splat small parasites that make their way into your hospital)....
