Dread Delusion developers Lovely Hellplace and their sinister backers at DreadXP have announced Entropy - a turn-based party RPG inspired by classic Japanese RPGs, which retains Dread Delusion’s fungal pixel aesthetics.

Like Final Fantasy 9, it starts with a theatre show. You play a rank thespian initially equipped with a simple prop sword. But then horrible creatures crash the stage, and it’s time to armour up your troupe and quest forth to snuff out a demon incursion. What’s the best Shakespeare line to invoke here, hmm. Ah yes: “target their elemental weaknesses!” Hamlet said that before he shanked Polonius through the curtain. No, don’t google to check, dear reader – I am in haste. Quickly, watch the below trailer.

Amid the madness of Gamescom, we somehow skipped the most important game of the year. Cheese Rolling is a multiplayer ragdoll game inspired by the ancient Gloucestershire, England pastime of racing a hunk of dairy down a hill.

The hill in question is Cooper's Hill at Brockworth, and the ceremony apparently dates back to at least 1826 - providing you trust the account of that year's Gloucester town crier - which makes the sport of cheese rolling at least 47 years older than Rock Paper Shotgun. The cheese in question is usually Double Gloucester - scandalously, they resorted to a foam replica in 2013 - and is given a strict one-second headstart.

A new Baldur's Gate 3 custom campaign mod has emerged onto the Nexus like Gale's mitt through that portal, and it's one you'll likely want to check out if you fancy getting nostalgic for one of RPG's classic siblings. Return to Candlekeep, as you might have gleaned from the title, aims to recreate the prologue of the original Baldur's Gate, by taking you to a certain library fortress.

It's not surprising someone's given this a go. After all, daunting tasks as such things might be, a good number of the BG3 custom campaigns being put together with the Moonglasses toolkit have opted to try their hand at taking players to revamped versions of locations from the previous two games.

We're back again, gang. Bang bang. The Doom modder behind Fallout: Bakersfield, which recreates the city of Necropolis from the original Fallout as the backdrop to irradiated boomer shooting, has followed up their first trailer in ages with some more footage of the mod in action.

Alexander 'Red888guns' Berezin, the modder in question, caught most of us off guard last month, when he whipped out that trailer for a GZDoom WAD plenty had assumed wouldn't ever see the light of day. After all, Berezin had plenty of other stuff on his plate. He's definitely working hard to show it off now, though.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is out now, and while it's a lot prettier or at least, more Unreal than the original Metal Gear Solid 3, it's got its fair share of technical problems. Curiously, two of the major crashing issues involve crocodiles. If you want a smooth opening bout of Snake Eater, I would avoid either pretending to be a crocodile or having lunch in the presence of a hungry one. Did a crocodile work on this game? There seems to be some underlying reptilian resentment at work, which I guess is to be expected from a game called Snake Eater.

While not quite as rife with grumpy grey soulslikes as June’s Summer Game Fest, Gamescom 2025 primarily favoured moodiness over levity. Silent Hill f? Hardly out to make jokes. Dawn of War 4? Pretty grim and a little dark, if you ask me. Hollow Knight: Silksong? They don’t have mouths to smile with>.

But then, we also got Denshattack. Now there’s a big, daft bundle of laughs, a half-racing, half-score attack trickster that both rattled and rejuvenated my expo-ravaged bones upon playing its demo in the Gamescom Indie Arena. All while centring around what has, traditionally, been the dullest of wheely vehicles: the train.

Have you ever wanted to swim out of a spaceship's backside while it sits in orbit, the sound of two dear friends arguing over whether it really needs a fifth teleporter room not seeping with you into the inky blackness? You know, because space is a famously scream-free zone. Well, the latest in No Man's Sky's endless string of free updates has you covered. It's called Voyagers, and adds in custom multi-person ships dubbed corvettes.

A group of current and former Microsoft employees have staged a sit-in protest in the office of company president Brad Smith over the use of Azure and generative AI technologies by the Israeli military during their on-going bombardment of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.

Well, there you go. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 publisher Paradox look like they might be sticking a stake in their rather unpopular plans to sell two of the game's vampire clans as paid day-one DLC. I say "might be" because nothing specific's been committed to yet, beyond some nebulous making of "adjustments ahead of launch" in response to fan feedback on the gating-off of Lasombra and Toreador bloodsuckers.

In case you missed the announcement of these two clans being packed away into the £18.69/€21.99/$21.99 coffin of Bloodlines' Shadows and Silk DLC pack, it came right as the long-in-the-works RPG got a fresh trailer and what should hopefully be its final release date. The only ways to get the clans were to buy that pack on top of the base game, or splash out £74.99/€89.99/$89.99 for the premium edition.

Look, I’m in the UK, so I’m not entirely sure what Labor Day is all about. I do know it’s on September 1 (cheers, Google) but the key thing to know is that PC gamers can save a bunch of money through deals like those offered by iBuyPower already.
