Surprisingly, I found The Evil Within 2 to be just as scary as the original. While the first game is a more relentless, claustrophobic horror experience, the sequel sets you loose in a series of rural open environments. A bunch of optional buildings and points of interest contain the high thrill scares you’d expect, but you can just tackle them at your own pace. Plus, some of the art on display is jaw-dropping, even if it’s not always as disturbing as the first game....

Now, time to enjoy your nice joke! Q: Which game involves taking a spirit-guide on a magical journey to find a whole grain with excellent health benefits? A:Quinoa: Bridge Of Spirits.

Monty: Prepare to be comprehensively Alameined, Erwin old chap. You haven’t got a leg to stand on today. Rommel: That’s what you said before our IGOUGO vs. WEGO chat and look how that turned out. Monty: I’ve got a lot more ammunition today and it’s of a much higher calibre. The latest batch of 3D wargames has proved beyond a shadow of a redoubt that adding a third dimension to 2D classics generally does more harm than good....

In The Last Autumn, you’ll need to manage the production of the giant centralized generator that later becomes the center of society in the base game. The sea hasn’t frozen over yet, so your city will still get supplies and food arriving on the docks nearby, though of course you’ll have to prioritize how much of each you need. There are also new Books of Laws, the legislation that you enact to keep production on schedule and society functioning....

Made by Jonathan Biddle of Ditto fame and former Game Freak artist James Turner (who worked on Pokemon Sword and Shield) who have banded together to form new studio All Possible Futures, The Plucky Squire is a gorgeous blend of 2D cell-shading and stunning 3D playroom environments. In fact, I reckon it might just be every single game in one, going by that trailer. There’s sword-fighting, Punch-Out!!-style boxing, top-down adventuring, sides-crolling sh’umping… Everything, I tell you, everything!...

To open the twentieth door on the RPS Advent Calendar you’re going to need to squad up with some of your best buddies, strap on a parachute, and remember to check your corners. It’s Call Of Duty: Warzone! James: I don’t need to tell you how this year has been. Scary, lonely; we’ve all been through it. Isolation hit me pretty damn hard. Stresses from all corners of life melt into a giant ball of terror when you’re alone in a two-metre square bedroom on the top floor of a 19th century Kemptown mansion....

Technically, this isn’t a new development as such, but we’ve also never had it spelled out on the site anywhere before. Instead, it’s fallen to a few stalwart readers to pass down this handy bit of RPS knowledge over the last few months, either through the comments or the RPS Discord, for which you have our undying thanks. Happily, we’re now codifying it so everyone can partake in the RSS goodness....

The weaver’s cottage wasn’t bad, mind, but it was a small, single-storey terraced home. The Sims 4 is wish fulfillment, so this is Cameron-Diaz-in-The-Holiday style of cottage living. Exposed brick, big fireplaces, renovated farmhouses. The expansion takes place in “the picturesque village of Henford-on-Bagley”, according to the press release, and you can explore the town, and visit “The Gnome’s Arms” pub. It seems like a very Tory time. I’ve said this before, but I play The Sims 4 mainly on pause....

That’s there to announce that the movie sequel is plainly named Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and to remind that the release date is the 8th of April, 2022. It’s nice to imagine outside will exist again by then, isn’t it. Technically the first film did already reveal a ‘cute’ Tails in a post-credits scene but I don’t see why they shouldn’t change him for the sequel. Everyone knows teasers aren’t canon....

It’s very in-character to make an experiment of the festival itself. Virtual attendees can “be a flamingo, chat with flamingo friends, shoot confetti, play soccer with watermelons, drink beer, hang out in the garden and enjoy the live stream of the full festival program”. There’s a downloadable guide to logging into that service on Itch.io. If you prefer, you can just enjoy the streams as normal, or at least see the awards show on Friday at 7pm GMT....

And yet physics has given him an enormous amount of grief over the course of TABS’ development - as well as all the other games he’s made at Landfall. Physics, after all, makes everything harder. “If you want to do something in the game, you need to figure out how to do it with physics instead of just doing it,” he tells me. And that’s why TABS, which is all about watching ridiculous parodies of extreme violence, is great....

And when the scan started, and the transport’s model appeared in wireframe on my simulated cockpit’s little computer screen, I had a real little moment. Because it was, of course, the exact transport design encountered in 1994’s TIE Fighter. That was why it looked so blocky, I think: because if you were designing a ship for a 3D flight sim in the early nineties, it kinda had to be blocky....

The games industry (and the games press) have always had a weird relationship with old games. From the open hostility of publishers in the 2000s to the overdone retro stylings of the 2010s, we remain in an uneasy entente with our ancient past. Many will insist that very old games were better. Others have played them since, and found them wanting. There is a way to reconcile these factions. That way is being pioneered by the unsung master of modern rebuilds of archaic arcade ar…cology?...

Save Room basically is just Resident Evil 4’s inventory Tetris, albeit on irregular grid shapes. Each puzzle gives you an assortment of guns, grenades, bullets, and snacks to cram into a limited space by rotating and rearranging them, as well as using familiar RE4 tricks. You can combine stacks of ammo boxes, and you can clear more bullet space by cramming them into a gun. If you’re low on health, chugging a handful of eggs both clears space and heals you—though maybe it’d be more space-efficient to eat one of those long fish instead?...

Get the Toughpower GF1 850W for $115 (was $140) This power supply is in the ‘A’ tier of the LTT Forums PSU tier list, so it’s a solid choice in terms of power delivery and reliability. I also like the cables provided with the PSU, which are flat and white - making them an ideal choice for an all white or white/black ‘stormtrooper’ build. As this is a modular power supply, you only need to connect the cables you’re using, leaving more space in your case and minimising cable clutter....

So. Sail the raft around obstacles. Throw your hook to gather trash. Process it for resources for crafting and repairs. Shoot enemies. Whack enemies. Avoid traps. And all that all at the same time, all crowded onto a diddy raft. It’ll have local and online co-op for up to four players, or singleplayer if you’d rather. The proof is in the playing but in theory, yeah, I’m up for these antics with my pals....

For our theme, we consider what FPS universes would make for a good Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Predictably we fall back on some old favourites, including Overwatch and Imogen’s desire to roleplay as Reinhardt and bash everything with a large hammer. It was Imogen’s turn to surprise me with some player names, and we learn a lot about each other and our reactions to certain fruit. After this episode, I’m not sure I’ll ever eat a kiwi again....
