a game to store my temporary art soul Calling all failed artists!Passpartout 2: The Lost Artistis out onSteam. I am still the frustrated artist struggling to survive that I was in the firstPasspartout. This time, though, I’ve lost more than just my shabby shack. There are no bills to pay; instead, I’ve invested all my money into art supplies and rented a studio in the town of Phénix. Finally, I can become an art master, having my naive artwork displayed just alongside Van Gogh’s....

Plus more ID@Xbox highlights coming this year! Last night ID@Xbox held their latest showcase to spotlight all sorts of indies. One of the highlights was the cute deduction gameLil’ Guardsman, a riff onPapers, Pleasewhere you work on a guard post, choosing to accept or refuse entry for fantasy folk wanting to get into the city. Or you can just jail them. It looks like lighthearted fun, and it’ll be hitting PC and consoles later this year....

But will it have enough depth to keep players interested? There’s always been something quite comforting about loading into a brand newMinecraftworld. Dropping into that first forest, punching that first tree… It’s a promise of all the myriad adventures to come. And despite some fundamental changes in genre and perspective, it’s something that the team behind the upcomingMinecraft Legendshas tried hard to preserve. I recently was treated to the most in-depth look so far at Minecraft Legends, in an hour-long livestream which gave us all some much needed answers on what manner of beast Legends actually is....

Possibly due to expired licenses Jack Joyce has run out of time, or steam, both work! Remedy’s time-bendingQuantum Break- part superpowered shooter, part live-action TV show - has been delisted on Steam and The Microsoft Store. The game’sSteam pageis still up, but it’s no longer available for purchase on PC or Xbox consoles. Publisher Microsoft had already confirmed the game would be “temporarily”removed from Game Pass(for console, it was never on the PC version) due to licensing issues, although there was no word on a removal from storefronts....

Insert Willie Nelson lyric of your choice here It’s weird thatRoad 96has gotten a prequel, because it only came out about six months ag- what’s that? A year and a half? Good lord. Still, it seems a slightly odd move, because Road 96 - a first person hitchhiking choose ‘em up about the collective action of wayward teens bringing down a totalitarian government - doesn’t reallyneeda prequel. On top of that,Road 96: Mile 0is a sequel to developer DigixArt’s first game Lost In Harmony, a musical runner about skateboarder Kaito whose fiend Aya is dying of a terminal illness....

Did I ever tell you what the definition of a video game is? Look, I’m not sayingFar Cry 3is responsible for gestures vaguely towards modern AAA games but it’s definitely a prime suspect. If I was trying to connect a piece of red string from the middle of my evidence board (which would probably be a picture of the map screen from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla), I’m not sure I’d push a pin directly into Jason Brody’s face, but I’d definitely circle it in black Sharpie a few times....

Featuring a surprise marriage proposal that I recorded by accident There’s a moment inBioShock Infinite’s opening act that’s always stuck with me. As you emerge onto the floating city of Columbia, the game takes you on a guided tour of the sights and sounds of this airbone civilization. As you saunter through the streets, you learn about its citizens and its creator, just sort of taking it all in. The sun is shining....

A moon-sized amount When Alice wrote aboutStar Wars Jedi: Survivorearlierthis week, she explored an “almost prohibitively large map.” It turns out those embiggened maps have a knock-on effect: Survivor will require 155GB of hard drive space. Therest of the system requirementsaren’t too bad, with the minimum recommended including 8GB of RAM and an AMD Ryzen 5 580 or Nvidia GTX 1070 graphics card. The recommended specs kick that up considerably to 16GB of RAM and a Ryzen 5 5600X and Nvidia RTX 2070,...

Kill Chaos for less Stranger Of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, the strange, chaos-obsessed hack-and-slashFinal Fantasyprequel, is now available on Steam. Developed byNiohand Wo Long creators Team Ninja in partnership with Square Enix, it has been exclusive to Epic’s games store, the Epic Games Store, since March last year. It’s also now cheaper than it used to be. While its arrival on Steamwas entirely predictable and announced last month, the instant price cut was more of a surprise....

Mushroom for improvement A week late but never a dollar short, The Electronic Wireless Showpodcasttalking about the past present and… well mostly just the present, to be honest, ofThe Last Of Us Part 1.

For grunt-sized hands Forget rumours of a portable Xboy.Halo: The Master Chief Collection’snewest update has enabled matchmade multiplayer, and together with the custom game browser for the Steam Deck, you can now play some of the wackiest maps in any FPS from the comfort of your bed - or anywhere in the galaxy really.
