Can I get a real estate quote on Reka’s hut with legs? It doesn’t have a demo or even a release date yet, but I am loving the look ofReka. It’s a 19th-century witch sim being made by Emberstorm Entertainment, where you play as a traveling witch whose chosen mode of transportation is the legendary chicken-legged Baba Yaga house, which is the coolest thing ever. The house isn’t just a cute gimmick either; it sits at the very centre of the game....

Slay bats, skeletons and Werehogs 1.3’s new challenge stage is called Bat Country and, as you’d expect, there are swarms of bats in the trailer. The most satisfying enemies to squash in VS are the small, weak ones, so I’m happy. The first new relic is called Charm and it increases enemies' spawn quantity by 20 per rank (up to a maximum of 100.) The other relic is perhaps more exciting, as it lets us transform one of our playable characters....

Vote now! Last time, you decided thatmixed dual-wielding is better than VR support. Good. Very good. It’s always nice when objective science produces the correct result. Well done you. This year, I ask you to decide between a cool (and sometimes practical) form of violence and a fun risk/reward element. What’s better: throwing knives or active reload? Within the established conventions of video game make-believe violence, you broadly understand how different weapons work....

Fantasy battle royale simulator If you’re still intimidated by base building inDwarf Fortress’s Steam release, then there’s good news. Patch 50.06, released today, has added Arena Mode into the Steam version. Arena is a sandbox mode where you can spawn any of Dwarf Fortress’s various creatures, kit them out with gear, set special conditions, and then watch them battle it out. It is great. That screenshot of Arena mode might not look like much, and it might seem strange to be so enthusiastic about a Dwarf Fortress mode that strips out its farming, its resource management, and its long, emotional character arcs....

A hero’s emotional state can influence their relationship with others in the party, creating useful buffs or hindering debuffs....

As of today,Sonic Colours: Ultimateis available via Steam after a period of Epic exclusivity. Here’s last year’s launch trailer: You’ll find Ultimateavailable via Steam, where the speedy hog costs £24.49/$27.99 with a 30% launch discount. Sonic Colours: Ultimate is a 3D Sonic game, but not in the sense of last year’sSonic Frontiers. Instead, the camera takes up position to view the action either from side-on or from behind Sonic, depending on whether you’re in a platforming section familiar from the old 2D hogs or whether you’re charging along a track at high-speed, dodging obstacles and smashing enemies....

Mix cool potions and upsell adventurers in card battles You know, I always figured I’d be great at making potions. As a kid, I was obsessed with pulling things out of cupboards and combining them into a bowl. Shampoo, bubble bath and toothpaste. Salad cream, yeast and lemonade. These concoctions were the result of pure genius, a brilliant mind capable of harmonising with ingredients on a sub-atomic level to create combinations that were beyond the capabilities of any known god....
