According to a Ejoy’s post on Facebook, Area F2 is being shut down today. Players are able to apply for refunds if they’ve made microtransaction purchases within the game. As reported by the BBC, Ubisoft believe that, prior to its closure, Area F2 had “been downloaded more than a million times and made ’tens of thousands of dollars’ on in-game purchases.” The sudden closure comes after Ubisoft sued Apple, Google, and the game’s developer Ejoy....
There’s no turn around coming, I’m afraid. The Amazing American Circus is a deckbuilder with some nice ideas, but it’s far more clown than strongman. It all kicks off with a funeral. Your dad’s dead, and you’ve inherited his decrepit circus just in time to enter a national competition with a snazzy hundred thousand dollar prize. So off you go, touring late 18th century America with your drunken uncle in tow, building up your skills and reputation one show at a time....
The thing is, though, who in their right mind is going to spend £3000 on this Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake / Nvidia RTX 2080 Super laptop when it launches this July just to get its fancy second screen? It all depends on whether Asus can make good on their promise to get some of today’s top developers on the case to make special custom game features for it. When I first saw the Zephyrus Duo back in March, Asus were naturally keeping the exact details of which developers they were working with on the Zephyrus Duo pretty close to their chest....
World’s End Club was the first game the pair released since forming their own studio, Too Kyo Games, and can best be described as a bizarre but intriguing blend of platforming and death games, starring a cast of prepubescent children way too young to be fixing the world or dealing with cults. Think Danganronpa, if Danganronpa was a Saturday morning cartoon rather than a murder game filled with psychopaths. The game may initially feel familiar to fans of Kodaka’s famous franchise when the ‘Go-Getters Club’ - a group of 10 school friends led by Reycho and including the Osakaben-speaking Kansai, the air-headed Pai, and the joyful Vanilla - wake up in an underwater facility and are asked to play a Game of Fate, requiring they complete an unknown task to win....
This guide will show you how to create the best Sayu build in Genshin Impact. Below we’ll cover everything you need to know about Sayu, including wishing, weapons, artifacts, ascension materials, talents, abilities, and constellations. How to build Sayu as a healer/Anemo support in Genshin Impact Best weapon: Skyward Pride Alternative: Katsuragikiri Nagamasa, Favonius Greatsword Skyward Pride is a stellar option for Sayu as it increases DMG and adds a vacuum blade effect that deals extra DMG to opponents in its path....
Above Snakes Above Snakes is the best of the bunch, so I’m whacking it at the top of this list for everyone to see. It’s a Western-inspired isometric survival game in which you play as a woman named Aiyana who lives on the outskirts of a town named Corpse Creek. Understandably, a meteorite falls on Corpse Creek and causes a zombie apocalypse. The residents of Corpse Creek shouldn’t have expected any different....
The G915 TKL uses the same low-profile GL switches as the regular G915, and you’ll have a choice of their GL Linear, GL Tactile and GL Clicky switches when it launches next month, which are effectively Logitech’s in-house equivalents of Cherry’s MX smooth up and down Reds, bumpy Browns and loud, clacky Blues respectively. It also comes with Logitech’s super fast Lightspeed wireless technology for responsive key presses while you’re gaming and typing alike, making it the first Logitech G keyboard to combine it with their Lightsync RGB lighting in a tenkeyless form factor....
We’ve kept our definition of “space game” fairly traditional here. While you’ll find plenty of hybrid games in our best space games list, from RPGs and strategy games to roguelikes and more, most of them involve hurtling across the universe in a ship of some description, rather than, say, settling on the surface of a new planet and starting a new life for yourself. That means no Surviving Mars or Astroneer, for example....
Below, we’ll explain the best starting words in Wordle so that you can narrow down the best way to guess the daily Wordle without cheating. Best Wordle starting words The natural answer when trying to find the best Wordle starting word is to use vowels. This helps you shape your word in the following guesses by combining the vowels that you know with common consonants that appear in a lot of words, like R, S, and T....
This particular bus simulator has ambitions, too. The Bus is aiming to offer 1:1 recreation of Berlin, an economy system akin to Euro Truck Simulator, modding tools, and multiplayer. The catch is that The Bus’s developers, TML Studios, say the game will launch into early access on March 25th with many of those above features absent. They’re planning for early access to last 8-16 months. In any case, it’s the core of The Bus’s simulation that will make or break it for me....
It’s being made by the creator of Knytt and and NightSky, Nifflas (aka Nicklas Nygren), and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t already completely in love with the drawn art style. Paired with the music used in the trailer, I’ve decided that I’m going to be obsessed with this game when it comes out at some point this year. Seriously! The music sounds like some of my favourite tracks from Risk Of Rain 2, and that visual design is bloody gorgeous....
Doom Eternal’s release was delayed to March 20th, y’see, which happens to be the same day as Animal Crossing: New Horizons arrives for the Switch. The internet thus reasonably decided that Doomguy (supersoldier; gun wielder) and Isabelle (secretary; dog) were best friends who shared common interests. Now, with just a month to go, fans of both are wishing each other good luck and good health for their shared launch day with extremely wholesome fan art....
As digressions we talk about Nate’s monstrous fish army, and the cool ska band I went to see. Matthew has crafted, once again, a marvellous Cavern Of Lies, this time themed around the screen-destroying survival game Vampire Survivors. You can listen above, or on on Spotify, iTunes, Stitcher, or Pocket Casts. You can find the RSS feed here, and you can discuss the episode on our Discord channel, which has a dedicated room for podcast chat....
At first we interpreted this literally, talking about favourite progressions from place A to place B. Eventually we do start discussing whether we can also count metaphorical journeys: character arcs, or stories that take us as a player on a journey. Digressions this week are include whether the sand in Journey is better than the mud in Red Dead Redemption 2, the time Nate offended a very famous chef, and Matthew just being generally sinister and saying words like “flesh”....
If we’re honest, though, this episode ends up being, bizarrely, mostly about philanthropic YouTuber Mr. Beast. I’m not sure how this happened, but it did. There’s a Cavern Of Lies about cereal, where my lie is so transparent you could make windows out of it - yet it still fools one of the lads. You can listen above, or on on Spotify, iTunes, Stitcher, or Pocket Casts. You can find the RSS feed here, and you can discuss the episode on our Discord channel, which has a dedicated room for podcast chat....
Every year Graham opens the secret panel in the back of all our heads (with a little screwdriver) and removes our batteries so we don’t cause any trouble over the break. On January the 4th he’ll put new ones in, but to keep you amused until then we’ve left you a little Christmas cracker with a joke inside. There’s one for every day of the break! You can find articles you might not have read, or help cover the cost of fresh batteries, with the RPS supporter program....
Respawn Entertainment’s multiplayer-only debut quietly dropped onto Steam this week. Unfortunately, as our pals at Eurogamer discovered, it’s arrived in a pretty unplayable state, quickly racking up a negative review aggregate. Now, it’s not shocking that a multiplayer-only game from over half a decade back would be hard to play. But Titanfall’s problems don’t begin and end with low player counts. Steam reviews point to a game plagued by server issues, with folks frequently getting booted out of matchmaking - not ideal, when even the game’s tutorial requires connecting to a server....
The second stage is the panic stage, which is done anywhere from about a week from your moving date up to the second you hand your keys back. At this point you shove everything into wherever it will fit and have a lot of boxes that say ‘GENERAL’ or ‘STUFF’. When you start unpacking these boxes, you get to enjoy being suddenly ambushed by a load of pants or a scented candle lurking in a box of plugs and batteries....
“When we started seeing this in August many of us were like, ‘okay, we’ve got to do something about it’,” Sarkeesian tells me. “We started realizing that we need to have a multi-pronged approach to really ending abuse in the games industry, and looking at deep systemic change so that we can actually stop abuse in the future. But also, we need to help people right here and right now, because systemic change is a long process....
More than 40 games are exhibiting at this year’s LudoNarraCon with 33 sporting free demos. There’s a broad range of stories, from learning old school telecommunications tech in ALJO Games’ Morse, cheating people in Nerial’s tricksy 18th-century scumbag simulator Card Shark, to Fuzzy Ghost’s magnificent sounding Queer Man Peering Into A Rock Pool.jpg. Probably the standout here for me though is Northway Games’ I Was A Teenage Exocolonist, which is apparently a story-led life simulator set on an alien planet with card battles and plenty of teen angst....
