Sequel, reboot, or Dark Souls 4? “The radiance of Mournestead withers” is such a great impersonation of Fromsoftware’s cryptic dialogue, it almost becomes a spoof. I’d quite enjoy that angle. Apart from that, everything you’d expect from a good Soulslike is here in full force: dodge rolls aplenty, monsters with teeth spurting out from every angle, and a tall figure that’s looks likeElden Ring’s Melenia if you squint enough. Seriously, are we sure this isn’tDark Souls4 in disguise?...

With more to follow Star Wars Jedi: Survivorwas released on a rocky road last month, bogged down by some troublesome technical problems. After a series of patches, our James took asecond look at the sequel, where he said, “neither of these really make Jedi: Survivor’s PC performance good, merely less bad.” Now, developer Respawn continues its mission to lessen the badness with a fifth patch aimed at performance and stability....

My kingdom for a tears The Electronic Wireless Show is not bound by your mortal rules, which is why even though this is a PC gamingpodcastwe’re going to talk about Zelda, dammit all, because everyone else gets to talk about Tears Of The Kingdom and we’re just as cool as them.

New Telltale’s first game since resurrection Telltale’s The Expanse is set just before Prime Video’s hit sci-fi show of the same name - which itself is based on James S.A. Corey’s novels - giving us an earlier look at fan favourite Camina Drummer. Oh, and the show’s actor Cara Gee returns to voice Drummer in this game, which is always nice to see. The Expanse universe is set a few hundred years into our future, where humanity has colonised most of the Solar System and expectedly put themselves in a silly state of cold war....

It’s how you use it It’s difficult not to start out by namedroppingDwarf Fortress.Songs Of Syxwill compare to probably every colony sim you’ve played, in fact, but it feels like a fundamentally different game conceptually. The usual parts are there. Chop some trees, chip some stones, and chep some crops to get your pioneers' basic needs met, then get to expanding. But Syx isn’t interested in testing you or manufacturing drama....

The curious case of the vanishing menus A most peculiar quandary has befallenAtomic Heartplayers on theSteam Deck, though mayhaps not to the extent that it’s worth writing like a knockoff Sherlock Holmes for any more of this article. Basically, the display and graphics settings have gone missing, leaving the SovietpunkFPSwithout any means of resolution or visual quality adjustments. Players first noticed the disappearance back in April, following Atomic Heart’s 1.4.0.0 update....

Become the chicken chaser, again My ever-growing backlog of farmlife sims gives me a judgemental side-eye every week, as I crawl back to my scarily silent husband inStardew Valley. That list of Stardew-likes is becoming harder and harder to ignore, though. I’m very much looking forward toGrave Seasons(aka Stardew meets murder mysteries). I was looking forward toRoots Of Pacha(aka Stardew meets the Stone Age) before its publisher woes. And now, I’m incredibly excited aboutMirthwood(aka Stardew meetsFable)....

We’re in double digits, baby Whoooo we’re officially in the double-digits gang! We’ve somehow managed to make it to episode 10 of Indiescovery without going completely feral and wrecking the joint. I say that, but this week’s episode is a little, shall we say, unhinged? Rebecca, Liam, and Rachel hadn’t really had a proper chat all week so there’s a lot of Friday energy and catching up, and the energy levels only increase when we start to talk about our main topic of this episode: Eurovision!...

How to beat every round of Holotactics Looking to beat every round of Holotactics in Jedi: Survivor?Holotactics has absolutely no right to be as fun as it is, but whoever thought up the idea of creating an autobattling minigame out of enemy units you’ve scanned throughoutStar Wars Jedi: Survivoris a genius.
