Dang Dang!, the developer of fabulous glaive-tosserBoomerang X, are closing down. The studio announced on Twitter that they made the decision after failing to find funding for their next game. “Dang is closing up shop,” startsthe announcement. “Unfortunately we were not able to find funding for our next game and we are out of money. We’re not writing off the possibility of working on some small stuff together in the future but for now we’re all going our separate ways....

Back in Bat Warner Bros Montreal’s one-four-all superhero spin-offGotham Knightshits Game Pass today. In hisRPS review, Ed Thorn described it as “an action-RPG that wraps what could’ve been a wonderfully realised Gotham universe in a tired, slapdash mix of meaningless numbers and loot.” I reviewed it myself as a freelancer and can’t disagree with his verdict. Game ain’t great. But I find myself itching to download and revisit this muddled open world contender all the same....

Designed by Volker Wertich, one of the original creators of The Settlers, the new village ‘em up puts you in charge of medieval tribes scattered around an almost eerily scenic island chain. It’s all about the little touches: check out those azure windmill blades, flickering in the breeze!...

The perfect patch? Larian have released a newBaldur’s Gate 3update which - in news that will surely lead to V-Day-style mass celebrations throughout the forts and dungeons of Faerûn - removesthe loathed shared stash systemintroduced byPatch 3, which caused companions to dump their entire inventories on you when dismissed. The new patch reverts companion behaviour to their pre-Patch 3 behaviour, for a less frustratingRPGexperience. In even more momentous tidings, it re-shaves that cat everybody loves....

Also in the patch: faster mud, fewer shader hitches Valve have released a smallCounter-Strike 2update that, amongst other things, stops mud slowing you down and stops incendiary grenades forming fiery rings in mid-air, like excitable kids with sparklers. There are also fixes for a shader compilation bug that may, nonetheless, still exist for AMD GPUs when playing this latest iteration of the developer’s free-to-play team and objective-based shooter. Many ofthe larger issues returning players have, such as the absence of Mac support, are yet to be addressed....

In Eminememoriam Rather than just posting the correct video and going off to cry about my advancing seniority, I’m brazenly posting both so you can trace the evolution (or not) of this shootiest of first-person shooter franchises. It’s bizarre to think of any game series being this venerable, and changing so much while remaining the same. What do the two videos share? Well, both are hectic montages of player characters galloping through multiplayer maps, with bombs and bullets popping off all over in a manner that is moreNaked Gunthan Black Hawk Down....

If they win the vote, crabs will make their home in the mangrove swamp, one of Minecraft’s more recent biomes....

Feel the HYTE. When I was a computer science student, I developed a messaging app called HYPE with a few of my (more-talented) peers. It worked really well, and we even used it to talk during lectures, but of course we never released it out into the world and after leaving uni it was abandoned. Years later, I saw the brand called HYTE and my immediate reaction was “They stole our idea!...

You’ll need to open your menu for this one I’m a fan of the modern BethesdaRPG, having spent nearly 100 hours withFallout 4- which, for me, is a lot more time than I’m usually willing to give up. My fondest memories lie withOblivion, because I think it captured exploration beautifully. I liked emerging from a big cave as a big nobody and striking out along a cobbled path, excited to go for a summer’s walk....

Choo choo! Even if you’re not running after members of the royal family witha camera strapped to your big posh noggin, I think basically everyone loves trains, being as they are big magical people movers that can chugga-chug you over an entire country. And not just people! As represented in the lovely voxel maps ofpuzzlegameStation To Station, trains carry freight. Cheese, furniture, steel girders - everything a growing city needs! Laying the rails that connect all of your production chains is, as the UK government will no doubt be quick to tell you, an often-complex affair....
