Here’s the trailer: With the expansion, prisoners can now grow potatoes, wheat, apples and more in their fields, and construct pantries and sheds in which to store the food. Certain inmates can also grow flowers as a new recreation activity. As well as growing the forbidden herbs (cumin, maybe?), naughty prisoners can also grow the ingredients to make booze. Finally, you can give your prison an “eco-friendly makeover” with solar panels and wind turbines....

Hopefully, we can help fend death off for as long as possible. Below, we’ve got 10 beginners tips that you need to know when playing Project Zomboid. We cover everything from those very first moments to setting up a base and finding a car. By the time we’re done, you should be much more confident that you can survive in the world of Project Zomboid. For a while, at least....

“We’re seeing more often that many newer players are being eliminated early with no kills – and oftentimes with no damage dealt,” PUBCorp say. To help acclimate those new players better—and presumably turn them into loyal veterans before they drop the game in frustration—lower skill players will have matches partially populated with bots. They’re designed to appear less as you become a more competent chicken dinner winner, they say. Importantly, PUBCorp say that you won’t have bots placed on your team....

“In Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, players will experience a brand-new hilarious story filled with an eclectic cast of characters in Adventure mode,” Sega say. “Expanding on the addictive gameplay of its predecessor, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is packed with fun, new modes where players can precisely pop Puyos and tactically rotate and clear Tetriminos solo or with friends, offline and online.” The adventure mode is something that folks who played the first Puyo Puyo Tetris will remember....

In his Surviving Mars review from 2018, Alec Meer said the game managed to squeeze a few happy tears out of him, as he humbly watched his colonies survive, thrive and birth a first non-Earth baby. He added that the game is attractive, has a good soundtrack, and is “adept at keeping superficially complex elements manageable”. “I relish the new state of sustained fear Surviving Mars brings to city sims,” he wrote....

Minecraft, for all its supposed complexity, is hamstrung by a rude insistence on making you walk around on foot like an idiot, checking under leaves for magic rocks or whatever the hell that game is about. Raft is a survival crafting game for the brilliant, but chronically lethargic creative mind, who would rather sit and let content wash over them than head out in search of it. You begin life on a two-by-two bit of wood, bobbing around the middle of the ocean like you’re the star of some gritty Captain Birdseye origin movie....

“Mr. Saitou is a short game about an average white-collar worker who struggles to find meaning in a life full of constant overtime and social isolation,” according to the Steam page. “After an accident lands him in the hospital, Mr. Saitou is spirited away to a strange fantasy world where an unexpected friend takes him on a life-changing adventure.” Rakuen could take around ten hours to play through if you did everything, but Mr....

The GWA tried to stream the vote count live on Twitch but technical issues forced them to use Twitter Spaces instead. Senator Tammy Baldwin, representative for Raven Software’s home state of Wisconsin, tweeted her congratulations to the group after the result was announced. Several members of the GWA celebrated their unionisation win by drinking beer and wearing cheese-shaped hats on their heads, as you do in Wisconsin. Bloomberg reports that, recently, management at Activision Blizzard and Raven Software had sent videos to staff to dissuade them from voting in favour by arguing that unions couldn’t guarantee pay increases and union contracts would threaten flexible working....

Unlike a lot of other wireless gaming mice, the Orochi V2 is completely battery-powered, supporting either AA or AAA batteries depending on what you have to hand. There are compartments for both underneath its easily-removable shell (along with a small cut-out to store its wireless USB dongle), and Razer say you’ll get up to an impressive 425 hours out of it when it’s connected to your PC over 2.4GHz wireless, or a stonking 950 hours over Bluetooth LE....

It was announced today: Risk Of Rain Returns, a remaster of the 2013 2D roguelike with all new pixel art, new survivors and new everything else. In Risk Of Rain, you select a survivor and then try to survive on an alien planet as waves of enemies attack. The waves grow stronger, and the enemies more numerous, and you try to keep your survivor ahead of the power curve by collecting items, customising your build, and choosing when to advance to the next area....

Going free means I may finally get around to filling the car-football shaped hole in my library - I’ll just have to do it somewhere other than Steam. There’s a bit of a sting regarding Rocket League’s inbound free-to-play switch, mind. See, Psyonix’s car kickabout is leaving Steam for Epic Games Store exclusivity, where it’ll launch next week. On the plus side, adding Rocket League to your library for the first month following release will give you a $10 coupon to spend on Epic, alongside two exclusive cosmetics - a Sun Ray Boost and Hot Rocks Trail....

In a 2019 interview with Retronauts, inXile Entertainment founder Brian Fargo recalled what Interplay hoped to accomplish in Tales Of The Unknown: Part 1, the seminal RPG more commonly referred to by its subtitle: The Bard’s Tale. “We were trying to set a mood and build a sense of being there… that there was a world… in our own primitive way,” Fargo said. “You started off in a bar; you got to walk around outside, you had to go down to the dungeons, so you felt like you were living in a world; you weren’t just thrust into a wireframe dungeon and that was it....

It’s been put together by our corporate siblings over at Gamer Network and asks what kind of hardware you own, what you’re playing and what you kind of components you might be planning on buying later in the year. If everyone’s thinking about buying a VR headset or an 8K TV this year, for example, then we want to know about it so we can carry on writing stuff that’s relevant to you....

Of course, technically it’s our 149th birthday, us having been PC gamers since 1873 and all that - the eternal, ineffable conumdrum sitting at the heart of RPS that’s been baffling occasional passers-by for well over a decade. I’ve only been with the site for just under a third of that time (the 15 years, I hasten to add, not the full 149), having joined the site in the autumn of 2017 as RPS’ first hardware editor....

Rune 2 publishers Ragnarok Game were already suing the legal remnants of Human Head and several key figures there. Now they’ve expanded it to also pursue Bethesda Softworks and their parent company, ZeniMax Media, saying the release “was maliciously torpedoed in a conspiracy between the game’s developer, desperate for cash, and a large video game conglomerate intent on destroying threats to its own video-game franchises.” Ragnarok do make the bold claim that Bethesda saw Rune 2 as a threat to their own Viking ’em up, Skyrim....

While we still don’t know anything about the new Saints Row game that Volition are currently making, thanks to a wee leak we do know that the 3rd Street Saints will revisit an old adventure in Saints Row: The Third Remastered. That name comes via a listing in the Entertainment Software Ratings Board database, an organisation who tend to y’know not just make up games for funsies. Seeing as publishers THQ Nordic haven’t yet announced SR3 Remastered, exactly what it changes is unknown - but we can probably guess....

Sure, shotgun-jumping in parkour shooter Sprawl (coming to Steam) jibes with my understanding of Newton’s third law: Your cosy cottage settles down in witch life sim Reka (coming to Steam): Undeniably video game: A very welcome touch (or kick) of Dark Messiah Of Might & Magic in Sorceress (coming to Steam): Getting weird feelings of ancientness seeing a spooOoky game not about a haunted floppy disk or possessed NES cartidge but a cursed Xbox 360 game post-red ring of death: The wolf’s expression is the most immediate source of delight in this screenshot from Player Non Player (in early access on Itch....

Taking a break from 199X-styled FPS Effigy for just a minute, developer Nate “Redact Games” Berens has started teasing something altogether more enchanting.

Berens (@ludodrome) April 5, 2020 Look, I actually didn’t mean to add another HauntedPS1 creator in this week’s list. But far removed from Effigy’s dark caverns and gruesome monsters, this new shot teases something whimsically enticing....

Your team are a mix of humans and aliens, protecting the people of City 31 from those seeking to end the interspecies alliance that followed on from XCOM 2. Here’s what that looks like. Chimera Squad’s work begins before you even start to fight. Breaching mode lets you pick and choose where you enter the battle, and the order you send your squad in. There’s plenty of options: in this, the front door can be bashed open and charged through while the side windows are being smashed in to give the element of surprise....
