Come and play along with our book club for games Stealth-announced during Microsoft’s Xbox Direct showcase at the tail end of January, Hi-Fi Rush has been an instant Game Pass hit. It’s an infectious rhythm-action brawler from the makers of Ghostwire Tokyo andThe Evil Within, Tango GameWorks, and it’s all about biffing enemies to the beat in a colourful, futuristic world full of robots and corporate hoodlums. You also have a cute robot cat companion that acts as a makeshift metronome....

They’re going to spend most of their time hunting you down, which means you need to hastily construct a nice, warm base.

Those are some really smart cannibals though One of the best things asurvival gamecan do is make you want to share your latest experiences with your family and friends At this,Sons Of The Forestsucceeds in grand fashion. Often I found myself pausing the game so I could go find my brother and tell him about the latest Big Thing that had just happened. Some of the time, it’s even for the right reasons....

Being extra, extra! It’s also fun, having played it, to keep up with how it’s doing in early access, not just because I’m looking forward to seeing it take off, but because its dev has spent the last few years writing delightful patch notes in the style of in-world news bulletins. Rings Of Saturn doesn’t clamour for your attention with datalogs and exposition. Its world is not particularly storied, or initially established beyond the basic concept of the game: fly a ship that mines asteroids....

AMD’s sometimes-fastest gaming CPU has hit a new affordability milestone. AMD’s Ryzen 7000X3D processors are now available (in theory), so we’re seeing some big discounts on previously-released options that bring them into newfound relevance. Such is the case with the Ryzen 7 7700X, the middle child of the Zen 4 lineup and an absolutely beastly performer when it comes to gaming thanks to its full-fat eight-core, one-CCD design. This chip launched at $399 but is now $100 cheaper thanks to a discount code at Newegg, where you can pick up the 7700X for $298....

Vote now! Last time, you decided thatelaborate corridor architecture is better than funicular fights.

Rise again, Tarnished Aside from the newly added PvP colosseums,Elden Ringhas been relatively quiet after selling a gazillion copies and winning every game of the year award in existence (except for the covetedRPS one.) Fans have been clamouring for DLC and you’d expect a big expansion announcement to coincide with the game’s first anniversary - February 25th - but developer FromSoftware chose to celebrate the mega-RPG’s birthday three days later - this morning....

Branching out to PC on March 14th There are plenty ofgreat games based on books, but I’ve never seen an adaptation as unconventional asThe Forest Cathedral, a dramatic reimagining of Rachel Carson’s science book from the ‘60s, Silent Spring. Carson’s book investigated the pesticide known as DDT, its harmful environmental impacts, and the misinformation that allowed companies to indiscriminately use it.The ForestCathedral reimagines this series of events as partly a first-person walking sim across the woods and partly a 2D platformer set inside scanning equipment....

During a recent interview, producer Naoki Yoshida said that it definitely won’t come to PC as soon as those six months are up, but that they “would like to release it eventually....

Its world is based on cultures “from all around the world”, he says After trailers forFinal Fantasy 16were released last year, some questions were asked about its predominantly white cast. Those questions were answered by producer Naoki Yoshida ina fashion he correctly predicted would be “disappointing to some”. Yoshida has now revisited the question during the latest round ofFinal Fantasy16 press. GamesRadar+asked if he wanted to revisit his earlier comments....
