And nu-Wake will be Remedy’s longest yet All that’s from the latestKinda Funnynewscast, in which Lake spends a lot of time sitting there glassy-eyed while his professional input is sought on such topics asEmbracer’s possible Gearbox saleand variousSpider-Man 2screenshots. But there are some morsels of info on the newAlan Wake, which will be Remedy’s longest game to date. “I think that with Remedy games - if we go back through the whole history - being very story-focused games, have traditionally been quite short, like 10 hours or so,” Lake observed at one point....

After playing three hours of it, I can confirm that yep, this sure is old Assassin’s Creed again I don’t know about you, but after spending 100+ hours in bothAssassin’s Creed OdysseyandAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, I’m well up for an AC game that reins its open world in a bit and goes back to the sort-of single city stab-athon the series used to be.

I mentioned moddability before, and one of the easiest mods you can make reduces the weight further in exchange for a small deficit in battery life. This basically involves swapping the AA battery provided for a smaller AAA - either an Energizer Ultimate Lithium for weight savings or a rechargeable option for sustainability - and then making up the difference in size with an AAA to AA adapter or a ball of tinfoil....

Are we the goodies? The opening theme ofMythforceis a wonderfully observed 1980s positivity ballad in the style ofJayce and The Wheeled Warriors. This song believes in you, aggressively so. “MythForce! MythForce! Everyday people become heroes! / MythForce! MythForce! You and me, we can defeat evil!” The roguelike dungeon dallying that follows doesn’t take that “you can do it!” Saturday morning cartoon flavour to its comedic conclusion in the same way an Adult Swim animation might, or a Devolver game would....

Valve have now posted their own reminiscence about the history of their digital distribution platformover on the Steam site. And in typical Steam fashion, it’s also a sale. The 20th anniversary page runs down the last twenty years of the platform, briefly noting the major changes that year - and some of the wider pop cultural trends of the moment....

“Feedback from devs and gamers is always a huge part” of platform’s success, say Valve It’s equally bizarre to think that Steam was once thought of principally as a more convenient way of handling downloadable patches for games such as Counter-Strike (the latest iteration of which,Counter-Strike: Global Offensiveis still Steam’s most-played game on a daily basis). The original Steam client didn’t even have a storefront. And it’s probably safe to say that Steam will always exist in a state of hectic evolution....

Hip hip Horus “Usually, when a player is going through a strategy game, they figure out how things work by trial and error,“Total War: Pharaoh’s game director Todor Nikolov tells me at this year’s Gamescom. “And once they do, they feel the urge to start a brand-new campaign because they’ve already figured out that portion of the gameplay.” Sitting across the table, these words ring frighteningly true for me. Unbeknownst to Nikolov, he has just described the exact experience I had playing the 50-turn campaign preview for Pharaoh a week earlier to an absolute tee....
