Galacticare has that one guy from Twitter who does Matt Berry impressions You know me, folks: I love management sims, and I love people in physical distress.

It’s different to theendless demothat Alice wrote about in February, which isn’t available here. Instead, you get a taster of the game’s story and versus modes. And with that, an introduction to some of the characters you’ll meet (and maybe even date)....
Celibate good times A decent name is one thing, but one likeTo Hell With The Uglyplain demands to be looked up. That’s when you see the striking art style, and yeah okay, I’m already on on board. Based on a French novel by Boris Vian, this tells a strange and surprisingly dark story about a famously handsome young himbo who gets caught up in a sinister plot in 1950s Los Angeles and has to adventure, talk, fight, and - horrors - reason his way to the truth....

And boy, does it look cold out there. Czech developers Ashborne Games have seemingly drawn on the real-life exploits of the Czechoslovak Legion, who fought against Lenin’s Bolsheviks at the end of the First World War.

Sounds about right. This first expansion has quite a vague release window, expected to launch some time between October and December this year....
It needs more time in the forge, but the makings of a rock-solid Vampire Survivors-like are here And yet, being derivative doesn’t always preclude the opportunity for bloody good fun. I’ve played just over three hours of a very early Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor build, and while it’s both missing some parts and could benefit from the odd tweak, it’s already capable of pumping out dopamine as efficiently as any establishedVampSurvs-alike....
