Nature is brutal As much as I love Shelter 2 (less so Shelter 3, unfortunately), Shelter 1 holds a special place in my heart, mostly because no other animal-focused survival game has come even remotely close to claiming the coveted title of “most brutal animal sim that made me ugly cry.” In Shelter 1 you play as a mother badger who is searching for a new home for herself and her bundle of five badger kits, tasked with making it through the wilderness and protecting as many of your babies as you can....

Well, anyway,Haven Parkis like A Short Hike crossed withAnimal Crossing, and it’s currently free to keep from GOG. Grab Haven Park from itsGOG store pagebefore the offer expires on January 24th and it’s yours to keep forever....

The Merc With A Mouth joins the team in their first DLC this month Deadpool will break the fourth wall and probably your face on January 26th, when the wise-cracking, chimichanga-loving mercenary arrives as DLC forMarvel’s Midnight Suns. Judging from the new trailer showing him in action that Firaxis have released, they seem to have struck a fine balance between comic book Deadpool and his movie counterpart. You can see Midnight Suns’ take on Wade Wilson in the trailer below....

Risk it all for a good roll I’m abigfanof frogs in games. If I see a cute little green lad in a game, then I’m absolutely going to play it. This is how I started playing the free prologue demo forDie In The Dungeon, a turn-based roguelike where you place dice on a grid to slice and , er, dice your foes. It’s smart, concise, and I can’t stop playing....

It’ll take dozens of hours to only partially understand it An adorable family of furry mammals traversing a dystopian urban environment; snapshots of joy and intimacy (playful hunts, mutual grooming, snuggling together for a nap) already infused with the melancholy of impending catastrophe; the terrible, life-altering moment when a young cub loses its footing and plunges into unknown depths, separated from the pack. Our fledgling protagonist, alone for the first time, has to fend for itself and find its way among the perilous mega-city ruins....

Sorry, New Experience+ mode The Callisto Protocolhad a rocky launch, with plentiful bugs, performance issues and a paucity of graphics options on PC. Some of those issues have been resolved in post-release updates, and yesterday another new patch arrived with more fixes and a New Game+ mode. Other updates in the patch include general performance improvements, some crash fixes, and a handful of smaller adjustments. Even if it had run perfectly, Alice B’sCallisto Protocol reviewwasn’y wholly sold on the game....

The second update, arriving mid-year, will tackle cult management, plonk down some extra story elements and bring greater customisation. Both updates are also meant to include accessibility improvements, some of which – automated cooking and fishing, customisable controls, and blessing multiple followers – have already arrived in this week’s 1.1.0 patch. You can read the notes for thathere. A mesmerised Ollie gave the game a Bestest Bests in hisCult Of The Lamb review, calling it adorably twisted....

The collection’s arrival on Steam replaces the original versions of each game on the storefront, and coincides with a publisher sale that ends February 2nd....

The Samsung Odyssey G4 gets good reviews too. Samsung’s Odyssey G4 gaming monitor is a great option for competitive gaming, with an IPS panel, 240Hz refresh rate and comfortable 25-inch screen size. The monitor normally costs around £243, but today it’s down to £199 at Amazon UK.
