Up is down, down is up, and up is also sideways? Most greatplatforming gamesdabble with gravity at some point. It’s one of those classic, age-old moments where you’re suddenly walking on the ceilings and jumping over gaps upside down to further test your skill and overall dexterity.Gravity Castle, on the other hand, has seemingly made it its entire premise, making for a brilliant Next Fest demo that’s still available to download on Steam right now....
ArenaNet have outlined their development roadmap Guild Wars 2is over ten years old now, and last year it brought its long-running storyline to a close with its third expansion. Now its developers say they want to release smaller and cheaper expansions more regularly, with quarterly updates filling the gaps in between.

In an effort to be more transparent with the community, the team have been releasing a series of blog posts, live streams, and Noclip documentaries, inviting us into their dev processes....
It’s showtime Magic is weird. And, since an Ordinary (non-magical person) suddenly getting magic is also deemed weird inIkenfell, it stands to reason that it’s practically guaranteed to happen. We can only assume the odds become even higher as the Ordinary ventures closer to the big magical fantasy school, which protagonist Maritte quickly discovers. Upon approaching the gate in search of her missing sister, Safina, Maritte suddenly starts to sling fiery spells....
A lesson in witchcraft from some cuties I am loving all the magical witchy games we’ve been covering forRPS Magic Week, but I wanna learn how toactuallybe a witch, you know? I wanna learn the witchy ways, and not just from some not-so-well informed TikToks. Hanging out with all these cool ladies feels like filling a mental grimoire with all my new witchy knowledge. I got to know Morgan first, a cute cottagecore witch who loves cozy knitted jumpers and wears an actual witch’s hat, pointy tip and all....
The Fate Of Another World follows on from the original Everyone’s favourite lesbian road trip RPGGet In The Car, Loser!has released its second expansion pack and this one’s chunky. For the uninitiated, Get In The Car, Loser! begins the way all retro RPGs do, with a group of young misfits who decide to fight a world-ending calamity, or sometimes to fight God. The only difference here is that it’s named after one-of-many iconic Mean Girls quotes, and yes, your party features lesbians....
Cupid Hanzo guides you through Overwatch’s dating spin-off Overwatch 2’sthird season is well underway, addingmore of the usualmaps, modes, and cosmetics. The big surprise this season is the Valentine’s themed Loverwatch, a non-canon text adventure that allows you to court either Mercy or Genji. Naturally, I chose to date Genji (described asOverwatch’s “bad boy”), and the results were surprising. It’s cringe-y and occasionally grating, but it’s also surprisingly charming and stuffed with referential humour that OW fans will surely love....
A lot to sniffer out Mojang have spent the week revealing new details ofMinecraft’s 1.20 update, including two of the things pictured above: the new Sniffer mob, which won a public vote to be included in the game; and the less expected new cherry blossom biome. Both seem adorable. Last Friday, we got afirst look at Archaeolgy, a new system that plants hidden objects through the desert biome. If you spot a new “suspcious sand” block you can use a new item, a brush, on it to reveal whatever lies below....
Banish spinning rust, once and for all. I kind of hate mechanical hard drives these days. Yes, they’re cheap per gigabyte, yes they’re fairly reliable, yes they’re absolutely the way to go if you need to store a lot of data and don’t care how long it takes to access it. But. But. These drives are hard to go back to after you’re used to SSDs, with their near-instant access times, completely silent operation, resistance to shocks, drops and magnets and of course their overall SPEED....
Relaxing nature sounds for sleeping Here it is: I almost always turn off the music when I play games anyway, so for me this is a more accurate play example than most trailers offer. It would only be more accurate if it had the new Paramore album or an episode ofShedunnitplaying over the top of it. A Terra Nil demo is currentlyavailable to play on Steam, if you can’t wait for whenever it’s due to arrive this year....

Unintentional frights The upcoming theme park management simPark Beyondgave us a lovely Valentine’s Day-themed trailer, except, wait a second, this isn’t lovely at all, Oh God. I’m sure Park Beyond will be a wholesome bit of fun - creating outlandish rollercoasters and managing the nuts & bolts of a made-up business is always a good time. But, good grief, there’s something seriously disturbing about its latest trailer. Lay your eyes on it here, if you dare:...
