Draculag A week ago, whilebelabouring the nuances of Arco, I expressed a wish to play more bullet hell games with time freeze mechanics, the better to savour the intricacy of their projectile patterning. Now here’sMoon Watch, aVampire Survivors-ish pixelart shooter in which you have a watch that stops time when you stand still. Snug within that frozen instant, you’re free to laugh in the gurning faces of the living dead while you idly choose and aim garlic grenades, stake launchers and bouncy ice comets....

Stop being bitten by snakes, you cowards I don’t like to brag, but it turns out that running a museum is actually well easy. Within an hour of sitting down to playTwo Point MuseumatGamescomlast month, I was running a modest monthly profit, educating the masses about one-fifth of a dinosaur skeleton, and most importantly, had not ordered a single staff member to their death. This is a very real risk in Two Point Studios’ latestmanagementsim, which not only shifts setting from ahospitaloruniversity campusto a natural history museum, but compels you to send expedition teams out in the field to search for new exhibits....

Employees had a “strong fear of reprisal” from owner Megan Ellison Earlier in the month, we learned thatStrayandNeon Whitepublisher Annapurna Interactive’sentire staff resignedafter a dispute with boss Megan Ellison. Reported byBloombergas a disagreement over attempts to “spin off the video-game division as an independent entity,” the details were nonetheless somewhat scant. Anew reportfrom Rebekah Valentine at IGN has since shed some more light on the walkout, which reportedly involved “disagreements over the direction of the Interactive division, chaotic departures, communication breakdowns, and a perceived lack of leadership transparency....

Because just powersliding horses for 20 hours isn’t an option I’m therefore somewhat unnerved to report that my enthusiasm has been tempered significantly by actually playing it. I’ve since used all the straws I’ve clutched at to spell out “It’s just a demo” on my floor, but the fear remains that Crimson Desert’s fantastical open-world exploration is going to be interrupted by regular bouts of twangy, unwieldy, unsatisfying combat. In fairness, the demo in question was specifically tailored to showcase Crimson Desert’s sword ‘n’ board (and bow) fighting style; the lack of pilotable hot air balloons, or riding a stallion sideways, doesn’t necessarily mean these will be afterthoughts in the finished game....

An old master? Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushedis a remaster of Disney Epic Mickey, a cult classic 3D platformer first released a decade ago on the Wii. In the original you controlled the titular Mickey Mouse who, armed with a magical paintbrush (wieldable by waving the Wiimote about), could paint or rub out surfaces to solve puzzles. It was the work of Junction Studios led by Warren Spector, best known for being TheDeus ExGuy....

Bugs aside, this is a refreshing AA monster-basher When playing a newSoulslike, there’s an element of translation involved while you figure out the language of the game. What are the upgrade materials called? What’s the equivalent of poison? What are experience points and checkpoints called, although you’re going to call them souls and bonfires anyway? I’ve done this many, many times, but on this occasion there was a surprising twist, one which would have notorious pearl-clutching racist HP Lovecraft spinning in his grave....

Dadventure time Spoilers throughout. TLDR: fun, generous, beautiful animation and cinematography. Worked mostly fine on my PC. I would not have given it the best narrative award if it were up againstGran Turismo 7. Writing of the frigid framing of Clockwork Orange’s atrocities, the film critic Pauline Kael asked: “is there anything sadder - and ultimately more repellent - than a clean-minded pornographer?” The lavishly directed and animated universe ofGod Of War Ragnarokis far from repellent, but it also feels spiritually squeegeed; a world of pulpy violence so chirpy and chaste as to strain belief that the scars that haunt its reformed anti-hero could have ever been inflicted there....

Blistered thumbs Raise your thumb if you’ve ever impaled it on a HeroQuest skeleton’s scythe. Country’s gone soft these days, I tell you. I’ve seen those new Heroquest skellies. You couldn’t injure yourself on those scythes if you tried. It’s polearm-ical correctness gone mad! Well, good news if you’re nostalgic for a simpler time, where tiny scythes could maim you for life, and binary digits came in lots of eight and not a binary digit more....

“I’m old and I’m tired” Shirley Curry, aka the “Skyrim Grandma”, is no longer posting gaming videos, she’s told her viewers. An upcoming eye surgery is going to leave her recovering for some weeks and (more importantly to her) she is simply tired of playing games for an audience. “It isn’t fun anymore,” she saysin a video. “I’m tired of it. I’m bored with it, bored to death with it. So I am making the decision now - totally, finally - I am not going to be making any more gaming videos and uploading them....
