Nuts Demo Lets You Spy On Squirrels And Their Secrets

If this sounds familiar, that’s likely because it’s expanded from a game jam game Matt played in 2018. Now it’s looking a lot fancier and has that whole voiced story going on. At this point, I have no clue whether that story is going to be fun and silly or dark and deadly. Never can tell with squirrels. I like how tacticle Nuts is. Pick up the phone. Press the buttons on your monitors....

Nvidia Rtx 3050 Ti Laptops Might Be On The Horizon

Twitter leaker momomo_us spotted them at the end of last week on the product page for Asus’ TUF Dash 15 laptop and a set of documents referring to Acer’s Nitro 5 laptop, although the Asus page seems to have since been updated and the RTX 3050 Ti information removed at time of writing. Fortunately, they did manage to screencap the Asus page, which I’ve embedded below. Sure, at first glance, it could simply be the case that someone’s photoshopped a very convincing RTX 3050 Ti underneath the real set of specs, but it’s the Acer details that give this rumour a bit more weight....

Oh Hey Submerged Has A Sequel Coming To Pc

Very pretty, that. The sequel will send us once again over the waves of a flooded world, climbing ruined buildings, not doing violence, and cooing at the spectacle and weird pretty wildlife. I’m up for more of that. And in the game. Uppercut Games both announced Hidden Depths and released it exclusively on Stadia on the same day in December 2020. That would probably be why I never heard of it....

Ooblets Launches In Early Access This Summer

It looks a bit Stardew Valley, a bit Animal Crossing, a bit Pokémon, a whole lot lovely. There we are in a little town, running our farm, renovating our home, cooking, collecting things we find laying around, fishing, and making friends with the locals. But some of our crops are the eponymous Ooblets, little creatures to love, train, level up, and put in dance-offs. (Earlier plans were for Pokémon-y fight-fights but it didn’t seem right)....

Orcs Must Die 3 Has Launched Steam After A Year On Stadia

Orcs Must Die 3 is the same slapstick magic trap murdering you know from their past games, Robot Entertainment say, with bigger everything. You can spot all that here in the new launch trailer: In addition to a new story mode that follows 20 years after Orcs Must Die! 2, you’ll also be playing through their new War Scenario battles. “Confront overwhelming armies of orcs outside on the battlefields surrounding the castles,” RE say....

Overwatch 2 Shows Off New Maps And New Fashion

One point the 38-minute ‘behind the scenes’ blast repeated often was: it’s a proper sequel, okay, so stop going on about it. The fact that its PvP will be unified with the first game, letting everyone still play together, had some questioning how much of a sequel it actually was. I think that’s a pretty daft line of thought (because 1) it’s adding a whole PvE side 2) the hell is a sequel anyway?...

Path Of Exile Atlas Passive Tree Strategies

How to use the Atlas passive tree in Path Of Exile After killing Kitava in Act 10 to complete the Path Of Exile campaign, players will be greeted by a new epilogue sequence. Meet with the newly promoted Commander Kirac to get a free map and begin your journey through the Atlas of Worlds. If you open the Atlas (G is the default keybind) and hover over a map, you will see a “bonus objective” for the map, which typically requires you to run the map at a specific rarity and kill the map boss....

Path Of Exile S Next Expansion Is Ultimatum

The Trialmaster is an agent of a Vaal entity known as chaos, and comes bearing such prizes. He’ll pose a challenge with a reward and three difficulty modifiers to pick from. Beat the trial, and you can either claim the prize or continue to another trial for the chance of greater prizes. But if you lose, you lose the lot. A classic game show conundrum, that. It’ll also pose Inscribed Ultimatums, where you’ll have to bring offerings for the hope of winning an item worth double - but you risk losing the offering if you fluff it....

Pentiment Review A Captivating Murder Mystery Spanning 25 Years Of Rich Medieval History

Its captivating story of conspiracy and murder is as rich and dense as its setting, and it’s clearly made by a passionate team who have a deep love for the period. Playing Pentiment feels like riffling through the painterly pages of a medieval manuscript, but instead of finding the written gospel of saints and sinners, there are tales of angry farmers, greedy landowners, church scandals, religious turmoil, and murder. Fundamentally though, it’s a historical tale about faith and truth, and the lengths that people are willing to go to preserve them....

Persona 5 Strikers How To Complete Zenkichi S Stealth Mission

How to complete Zenkichi’s stealth mission It’s a pretty daunting task, particularly since Zenkichi runs around like a large toddler rather than the swift movement you’re used to in your Phantom Thieves. It’s alright though - once you know the route, Zenkichi’s stealth mission is easy peasy. Just follow these steps: Remember, no matter whether you’re directly in front of their face or not, enemies can’t see you when you’re in cover....

Perspective Based Puzzler Superliminal Has Co Op Now

In this gif from developer Pillow Castle’s announcement post, one player picks up their friend and plops them up high on a platform. It looks as though that friend gets bigger as they go too, which I feel is somehow going to make the game even more confusing than it was already. If you don’t fancy playing with friends, however, you can play against them now too. Superliminal added a battle royale-style mode last month, which pits 12 people against each other in a series of “frantic” obstacle courses....

Phasmophobia Adds Two New Ghosties That I Don T Want To Meet

If you’ve played on the Phasmophobia beta branch, you may have already come face to face with one of the new ghosts, but now they’re both on the game’s main build too. The Yokai (which, in real life, are spirits from Japanese folklore) have a higher chance of attacking you when you talk near them. That’s complicated by the fact you’ll need to talk to it through a spirit box to figure out what it is in the first place....

Raft S Next Update Lets You Redecorate Your Floating Home

And what’s that I spy on the horizon? Could it be? Yes! Trailer-ho! Everything now looks a lot more solid, perhaps a little bit too solid given how sturdy the stairs are, but that might just feel like a nice reward for all the tree chopping and plank fishing you have to do. And you have a further use for all those seagull feathers you end up with: you can make a paint brush to start decorating your skiff in more interesting colours and patterns....

Raft Sails Out Of Early Access After Four Years With A Huge Update

Raft debuted as a pay-what-you-want prototype doodad in December 2016, and even then it was fun. A formal Steam Early Access launch followed in May 2018, and it was fun then too. John Walker said at the time, “Once it’s filled with a few dozen more features, this’ll be one of the best survival-me-dos out there.” Well! The developers, Redbeet Interactive have added features aplenty since then. The launch update alone is huge....

Realm Of The Ghost King The Good Roguelike

It is terrific. Even though it’s a roguelike. You are a ghostie. You want a shot at the king, and standing in between him and you is a legion of monsters. But you have bombs. Oh, that age-old tale. It’s a perfect lunchbreak game, with even winning runs (I’ve had a mere handful) taking maybe 20 minutes. You flick through a series of small randomly-generated levels, taking ’turns’ to move from square to square, triggering monsters to do the same....
