Stuck on the Wordle word for August 14? Read our hint or find the answer below!

And, like every other day, it’s also about racking your brain to solveWordle, the daily puzzle game that is as old as time itself (specifically, the time that started roughly 786 days ago, and not the time that came before)....

Stuck on the Wordle word for August 13? Read our hint or find the answer below! Need a hint for today’s Wordle answer?It’s time to grab a beanbag, settle in with your favourite hot beverage, and gently tease your brain with the New York Times' dailyWordlepuzzle. Every day, Wordle presents its legions of players with a deviously simple quandary: can you guess the right five-letter word within just six guesses? All you have to help you in finding the Wordle answer are the contextual clues you gain from each guess - but often, that’s not enough....

Via mod.io Currently if you want to download Anno 1800 mods, your best bet is to head toNexus Modsto find something to download. You’ll probably need thecommunity-made mod loader, too. It’s enough of a barrier of entry to likely put off most players. Anno 1800, if you don’t know, is an industrial age citybuilder with a strong focus on supply chains and trade routes. Nate liked it in hisAnno 1800 review....

Opus Magnum for font fans Word Factoriis a conveyor-belt puzzle game in which you plop down structures that bend, mirror, rotate or merge your resources in order to produce something new. So far, soOpus Magnum. The twist is that your only resource is a sans-serif letter “I”, which you’re manipulating and combining to make every other letter in the alphabet - and, in turn, to construct whole words to complete each level....

Second time’s the charm Long-running animated series South Park has been blessed with two surprisingly good RPGs, the Stick Of Truth and the Fractured But Whole, which both accurately recreated the TV show’s art style. The newly announcedSouth Park: Snow Dayis taking a different approach, rendering Cartman and its world in 3D for a four-player co-op action game. It’s also being developed by first-person indie darlings Question. You’ll find the trailer below....

A partly idle game about destroying planets It’s part idle game, partVampire Survivors, and it’s out now. When I say ineffectual, I mean ineffectual, since to begin with you can rotate your ship to point your drill, but that’s it. You can’t steer, beyond obeying gravity and angling a bounce off the planet’s surface. Progress is slow, then you explode. After death, you can take your meagre haul and unlock some upgrades in a small skill tree....

It’s taken every fibre of my being not to say ‘sucks’ - oh, goddamnit… Airheadis one of thoseplatformersI really want to like. Freshly announced at tonight’s THQ Nordic Showcase, I’ve been playing an early, hour-long demo build of it this week, and while there are certainly things to admire here, I’m not overly convinced it’s going to be one for the ages. Its colourful visuals and contrasting colour palette cast its deep caverns and sun-drenched mountains in a beautiful, but eerie kind of light, and its strange, scuttling creatures put me in the mind of the night horrors fromDredgeandInsanely Twisted Shadow Planet....

Fixer-upper? Way back in the dingy darkness of 1997 I played a property management sim called Constructor, in which you could do things like bury rivals in their own cement, and have your foreman take down the other guy’s hooligans with a shotgun. I’ve never played any property sim that’s quite as nasty, but I do get a similar vibe from Mirage Game Studios’Space For Sale, published by THQ Nordic, in which one or two players throw together budget rentals for aliens on a decidedly unfriendly planet....

There are worse 1080p graphics cards. Better ones, too This AMD Radeon RX 7600 review will explain, I’d hope, a fair bit about the red team’s newest 1080pgraphics card. It will tell you how fast it runs games, how hot it gets, how it compares toNvidia’s RTX 4060and suchlike. What I can’t explain with it, admittedly, is why the RX 7600 exists. You’d think AMD would be gnashing at Nvidia’s throats right now: the GeForce RTX 40 series has some good cards and a cool trick inDLSS 3, but is blemished byexcessive pricing on its higher-end modelsand merely incremental performance improvements on its more attainable cards....

But you can’t buy them So what’s going on beneath that lustrous lunar coating and aura of cosmic adventure? Here’s our James’sRX 7900 XTX review: he summarised it as “the best of the current GPU generation, should you want a 4K card at a price that doesn’t quite feel like a personal insult.” I’m going to take this opportunity to pre-screen an article I’d like to write at some point: why does so much gaming hardware have toLookLikeThat?...

They also took inspiration from the automotive industry One thing I never tire of ranting about is the brilliance of the original Homeworld Mothership - both for its elegant crescent-moon design, and for its more practical function as a giant compass needle shoved into Homeworld’s then-unprecedented 3D volumes, so that players can orient themselves and strategise. I admit, I was a little piqued byHomeworld 3’s redesigned Mothership, which lies flat as a doormat - an act of blasphemy akin to flipping a crucifix upside down, or wearing a baseball cap backwards in your 50s....

My fellow Zero Escape liker has, well, escaped into a new room called… VG247? Sad news today, folks. Our excellent guides writer Rebecca is moving on to pastures new. Specifically, pastures that have had the letters and numbersVG247mown into them, as Rebecca is beginning a new guides journey at our dear sister site starting next week. We wish her all the best in her new adventures, follicking in the fields ofAnimal Crossingand other console-based delights, although I’ll personally be very sad to lose my fellow Zero Escape andDanganronpaliker (the placement of these games in next year’sRPS 100is now in serious trouble, folks, I’m telling ya now)....
