A Reader Of NewsI wonder whither there be’est any new PC games on sale this week, perchance?
Enter A News Editor, With Alarums And Excursions
A News EditorOn Monday 4th November, terraform hexagons to save princesses inZero Orders Tactics. On Tuesday 5th November, take turns to run and gun inMetal Slug Tactics. On Wednesday 6th November, discover a kinder, cosier Runescape with the early access launch of free-to-play MMOBrighter Shores. Alternatively, build an incredibly unsafe waterslide inPlanet Coaster 2. Or answer the call of Stardewty and strike the earth ofMirthwood. On Thursday 7th November, click mischievously upon bawdy Renaissance art inDeath Of The Reprobate. And on Friday 8th November, swap/hack bodies inSlitterhead.

I’m curious aboutHomocipher, a SeekerX recommendation. It’s about chatting up boy monsters, though you’ll need to translate their dialogue first. One for Heaven’s Vault and Slay The Princess fans, maybe?

Death Of The Reprobate isout on Steam. It’s another “Rabelaisian” adventure game from The Procession To Calvary developer Joe Richardson, in which you click most awfully upon animated Renaissance art.

Dystopian foot-racer Deathsprint 66 is getting an offline mode on 11th November. Find it onSteam. We never reviewed this one, but I like the clone-jockey premise and the WipEout-ish aesthetics.
The dust has settled after a frenetic opening series for#DEATHSPRINT66– and the Bachman Media Network has been working tirelessly in the background to up the stakes with multiple rounds of major updates.Check out the roadmap below, and find out more:https://t.co/bXIB8Es1S5pic.twitter.com/yPXLMkwXUM

Some fighting words from Blizzard veteran David Kim, nowadays developer of putative genre-reinventing RTS Battle Aces at Uncapped. “For me it’s very personal, because [real-time strategy] is my favorite genre of all time, and I just can’t accept the fact that players, or I guess developers even, take the stance of ‘the end-all peak of RTS is StarCraft 2 and nothing can ever be better than StarCraft,'” Kim toldPCGamer.

Lucky Tower Ultimate- the throwback 2D cartoon roguelike in which you can use corpses and broccoli as weapons - continues its early access journey with a new cave area. I get the sense that this is good, but I haven’t had a chance to play.

Incentivised by the Tom Petty song from the GTA 6 trailer - which includes the line “wait for the moon” - players are still trying to glean release dates for additional trailers and the game itself from depictions of the moon in Rockstar key art.
Rockstar Games has potentially teased GTA 6 Trailer 2’s date in a picture they posted featuring a moon in the Waning Gibbous phase, which occurs on November 22nd.pic.twitter.com/wqJsrBMEHL

The major plot point in the Helldivers 2 live-service metagame right now is the construction of a space station super weapon, with labour kindly donated by families displaced by Super Earth’s war efforts. The question is whether said space station will ever have a presence in-game.
MAJOR ORDER: The Helldivers valiantly achieved two of the three objectives set by High Command, capturing the Automaton Database and limiting the bots’ territorial expansion, but falling short of re-securing the Terminid Research Preserve. Security has been doubled at the…pic.twitter.com/aaHTorIJgS

Crusader Kings 3 hasa new update and paid expansion. The paid expansion adds “Wandering” lifestyles, which almost sound like the CK3 equivalent of Adventure mode in Dwarf Fortress, with characters exploring the world as they please. The free bits include breweries, a brewing culture tradition, and several new historical battle points of interest. Also, “a salacious Grand Wedding event chain”.
