Alas, poor Bastion! I knew him, Torbjorn Robot damage heroBastionhas been unplayable inOverwatch 2for the past week due to some unfortunateshenaniganswith his artillery ultimate. It was only meant to be temporary, Blizzard said. Yet this increasingly lengthy absence from the game’s resulted in some players treating the poor droid as though he’d passed away rather than becoming glitched out for a little while. Bastion first disappeared a week ago when Blizzard announced he’d be “taking a quick trip to the workshop” to have some work done on his ability kits....
No word yet on Marvel Happy Families or DC Cribbage Collectible card gameMarvel Snaphas been released into early access on Steam as a free to play download. Hailing from some of the devs behind Blizzard’s successful digital CCGHearthstone, Marvel Snap takes the House Of Ideas’ superheroic formula and runs with the current multiversal obsession of the MCU. The game also mixes in the art and variants you’d expect from Marvel’s comic book output....

This time it’s adventuring iron-quiffed quipper Nathan Drake, courtesy ofUncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which is out on Steam on November 19th. And where there’s a Steam game, there’s usually aSteam Deckgame, so Liam and I have both busted out the handhelds to see how well this remastered bundle of Uncharted: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy takes to more portable hardware....

Late Night Mop does what you’d expect and does it well Reading the words “haunted house cleaning simulator,” I knew exactly what diddy indie gameLate Night Mopwould be. And it is what I had thought. And it is what you will have guessed upon reading that too. And yet, I enjoyed my ten minutes binning rubbish and mopping up stains (just stains, don’t worry about it). Then I played it again to see another ending, even knowing I am a big scaredy baby....
Whether you win the game matters not — it’s if you bought it. I refer toVampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlinesas “my favourite video game of all time” with such frequency that it’s basically a catchphrase of mine. The thing is, though, I really dislike slogans; they’re meant to stir up emotions while bypassing our capacity to think critically. So I thought this retrospective was a good opportunity to remind myself of why I still love this janky, weird ARPG about sad bloodsuckers so much, even 18 years after its release....

The 16GB version will still release as planned on November 16th. “The RTX 4080 12GB is a fantastic graphics card, but it’s not named right”, reads Nvidia’s statement....
For real! I finished the originalPersona 5roughly four years ago, and it immediately earned my most coveted award: Edders Really Liked This A Lot, Perhaps More Than Anything Else. Since its updated and expanded Royal version dropped on PlayStation some years later, I’ve been afraid to make my return. You’d think I’d be itching to delve back into what’s essentiallythedefinitive version of the Phantom Thieves' adventure, and yet it’s precisely because it blew me away the first time that I’ve been reluctant to go back....
