Anti-tamper software snuck in after review embargo Very much like an assassin sliding a poison needle into your wrist while shaking your hand, Ubisoft have addedDenuvo’s anti-piracy/anti-cheatingDRMsoftware to Assassin’s Creed: Mirage in the game’s day-one update, aka patch 1.0.2. We’ve known for a while that the game would use Denuvo, together with the VMProtect software, but what’s baking the noodles of many players is that the Denuvo functionality has been snuck inaftertheAssassin’s Creed: Mirage reviewembargo, denying critics the chance to assess its impact on the game....

Smooth cuts, on desktop and Steam Deck alike Assassin’s Creed Mirageis, so says the Alice Breview, “the most enjoyable Assassin’s Creed game for years.” That’s thanks in part to a returning focus on classic AC stealthing in a single, densely detailed city, and this back-to-basics approach extends to the technical side too.

Quality-of-life upgrades galore, plus vampires Diablo 4has been on the back-burner amid the chaos ofBaldur’s Gate 3andStarfield’s launches, but much like an arch-demonness putting together the pieces of an inter-planar conspiracy, Blizzard have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes.

That’s one way to “modernise” a genre “But what if there were dinosaurs???” is a setup that goes a long way with me, as aJurassic World Evolutionplayer and defiant fan of Capcom’sExoprimal, and in this case, that setup rests atop a tasty-looking fruitcake of references toWarcraftandStronghold. Woah there, Dr Grant - what the hell are you talking about? Why, the just-announcedDinolords, of course - a blend ofstrategyand action-RPGfrom Northplay and Ghost Ship Publishing, in which you raise troops and build castles to fend off armies of T-Rex-riding Danes....

Dozens of players can survive on the deck of a destroyer or gunboat, working in tandem to deliver ammunition or launch sea mines and depth charges, much as players collaborate on land....

The monsters aren’t just in Silent Hill anymore Pre-registrations have gone live for Konami’sSilent Hill: Ascension, an interactive drama for mobiles - I know, shush, I’m sure it’ll come to PCs eventually - which follows a cast of characters around the world who are being tormented by monsters from the eponymous Town of Woe. My enthusiasm for Silent Hill these days is approximately that of a dog returning to his vomit (or better, a depressive male protagonist with repressed memories that keep reeling him back to the same, misty high street)....
