It’s not, but then again, it sort of is? Lemnis Gate clearly wants me to compare it to 4D Chess, but in (this) reality it feels much closer to timey-wimey Tic-Tac-Toe. You’ve probably got two questions. One: why are we fighting across time? I do not know, and Lemnis Gate has not made any particular effort to tell me. Someone does mention the words ‘Lemnis Gate’ in the admirably brief tutorial using a tone that denotes terrible importance, but it really doesn’t matter....

I’ll focus on the freebies for my picks: Nuclear Throne Vlambeer’s roguelikelike top-down shooter is one of the best action games, according to some site named Rock, Paper, Shootguns. I endorse their opinion. If you’d rather have this on Steam, Vlambeer have cut its price as much as they can - a 90% discount. Mu Cartographer Hey, here, take this weird machine - you’re good to scan landscapes with it now, right?...

Get the Logitech MX Keys for £80 (was £120) The MX Keys reminds me a little of Apple’s Magic Keyboard, thanks to its low profile nature, compact design and surfeit of function keys along the top and upper right corner of the keyboard. It’s a great choice for anyone that loves the feeling of typing on a great laptop keyboard, as you get that same snappy response from the short throw switches....

The plucky duo, gentleman giraffe Lord Winklebottom and Doctor Frumple the hippo, have been invited to a mysterious island to sit in on a special announcement only to arrive and, by George! There’s been a bleeding murder! It’s a point-and-click affair where you use Talk/Use/Look actions to interact with the environment while also dragging and dropping things from your inventory bar into the world to use them. It’s classic point-and-click through and through....

Unlike some other Rogue decks, it’s not easy to play Malygos Rogue to a consistently high standard. If you’ve shied away from other decks that rely on juggling complex combos, you should probably give this one a miss as well. If, on the other hand, you live to pile calculation onto calculation, then you’re going to love playing this one. In our first Malygos Rogue update for the new meta you’ll find a theorycrafted deck list and an overview of the strategy involved in played it - expect big updates for that section once the expansion is under way....

Mainly, I liked how the game’s combat takes cues from JRPGs, of all things, cribbing off the likes of Final Fantasy XV and Tales Of Arise so your fellow guardians feel just as - if not more - important than yourself. In Guardians Of The Galaxy, you play as Peter Quill, better known as Star Lord. He has a short back and sides haircut, is nonchalant, and commands a band of heroic misfits you’ll probably recognise from the films: There’s Rocket, a brainy raccoon with attitude; Groot, a tree person whose voice actor has it figured out; Gamora, a deadly assassin who is quite serious; and last but not least, Drax, who isn’t Dave Bautista in this one but will always be Dave Bautista in my heart....

The latest patch notes don’t explain how the file size has been shrunk, only that the developers have “performed some optimization.” Perhaps they deleted some countries that they didn’t think folks would miss. Patch 1.16.2.0 is otherwise packed with small tweaks running the breadth of the entire game, from the weather system to the planes to flight stick controls and UI. Live weather data streamed from the internet will now require less bandwidth, for example, and - this is a particularly pleasing sentence, they’ve “improved precision of live snow coverage....

“We don’t have intentions of just pulling all of Bethesda content out of Sony or Nintendo or otherwise,” Stuart says during a Q&A session from the Jefferies Interactive Entertainment Conference last week as transcribed by Seeking Alpha. “But what we want is we want that content, in the long run, to be either first or better or best or pick your differentiated experience, on our platforms.” “If you think about something like Game Pass, if it shows up best in Game Pass, that’s what we want to see, and we want to drive our Game Pass subscriber base through that Bethesda pipeline,” he adds....

In this guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know about Mangrove Swamps in Minecraft 1.19, including how to grow your own Mangrove Trees using a propagule. What are mangrove swamps in Minecraft? Mangrove swamps are bustling new ecosystems, with Tadpoles and Frogs featuring in the new biome. Mangrove Swamps would also have originally been home to Fireflies, but this feature was scrapped shortly before the launch of Minecraft 1....

Last year at EGX 2019, Katharine called Necronator one of her games of the show. “It’s wonderfully addictive, and its super cute pixel art makes each battle a joy to watch,” she said. The new trailer below shows off some of the deck build-y RTS gameplay narrated by the Necronator itself. Little skeleton and orc and sheep troops all fight it out under the guidance of their evil overlord. You’ll take the position of a commander with your own spells and a unique unit....

Other issues fixed in the latest update include compensation for stuff you’ve tried to buy but haven’t received – quite a biggie, that – and a cooldown period on text and emojis in chat. Next on the list of things to sort, say Hotta Studio, is an improved anti-cheating system. They’ll be announcing the first round of bans too. Ooh err. Let’s hope players don’t get squished. You can see the full info in the dev report here....

The new Modern Warfare loading screen, shared on Reddit, reads: Our community is hurting. The systemic inequalities our community experiences are once again center stage. Call Of Duty and Infinity Ward stand for equality and inclusion. We stand against the racism and injustice our black community endures. Until change happens and Black Lives Matter, we will never truly be the community we strive to be. So far, Call Of Duty has delayed its new season, saying that “now is not the time....

“Unravel Crown Island’s dark story as you create your own monster legacy,” say Studio Aurum. “With a history of sadistic rulers and heroic saviors, the island faces another threat in the form of a malicious young woman seeking power. It’s up to you and the monsters you make pacts with to prevent the return of tyranny.” One of the bits that caught my ear is that in Monster Crown you aren’t actually catching monsters, you’re making pacts with them to join your team....

In this guide I’ll explain how you can start cracking open these rocky presents. How to open locked chests To open locked chests in Mortal Shell, you need to collect a Gland which will encase the world in mist. Only when the map is covered in mist will these chests suddenly become lootable. They will glow orange to indicate you’re good to crack them open. If you’re new to the game and don’t know what a Gland is, it’s essentially a key item which you collect as a reward for completing a zone....

It’s nearly time for MultiVersus to begin season two anyway, which conveniently begins just as the ranked mode test draws to a close on November 15th. All of season one’s promised characters are now present in the fighting game, with Black Adam rocking up alongside the arrival of arcade mode at the end of October. Player First haven’t confirmed new characters for the second season of MultiVersus just yet, but I’m still holding out hope Batman’s archnemesis the Joker, voiced by animated series actor Mark Hamill, will jump into the game soon....

Two things happened later that day that I did not expect. First: I got the opportunity to dive into Rumbleverse’s action-packed 40-player matches far earlier than I’d anticipated, as part of a one day early look at the game. I downloaded and installed it in short order, and jumped right in. Two hours later, at 1am in the morning as the servers shut down, I happened across a second, far more unexpected thing....

For the best part of a minute I fell - through coloured light and a confusion of curving distances, the thudding of my ship’s engine melting into the mists above. The worst thing about falling in Yedoma Globula is the sound. There is none. No air screaming past your ears, no rattle of loose cloth or equipment. Touching down, you brace for the crunch of bone but it’s as gentle as a bubble meeting water....

Resident Evil apparently launched at a respectable number two in Netflix’s top 10, with 72.7 million hours viewed, but there was no expected bump in week two’s 73.3m hours, and the show then fell out of the top 10 entirely in its third week. While Netflix regularly seem to cancel shows that are liked by their audiences, that’s not the case here, given Resident Evil received poor reviews from both critics and fans of the original games....

Hextech Mayhem stars the League wizard Ziggs, who does explosions. He’ll be off jumping through Piltover, the city that’s suddenly become far more known by being one of the twin cities in League’s animated Netflix show, Arcane. And yup, it looks like Bit.Trip alright. HexTech Mayhem: A League Of Legends Story is coming to Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store on the 16th of November, priced at £8. It’ll also be on Nintendo Switch and, most interestingly, “via the Netflix mobile app....
