I'm not often one for a game songs streaming post but I have really, really been feeling the song from Deathloop's latest trailer. So I'm out here making an exception on a Friday evening. Arkane's next FPS is a murder sandbox about a time loop with a colorful 1970s aesthetic. That vibe extends to the fantastic theme song Déjà Vu that debuted during a trailer last week. If you've been playing it off YouTube since then like I have, you can stop because it's on Spotify now.
Circuit Superstars has been doing practice laps for a bit but it's just gotten the green flag to head into early access. This top-down racing game sounds like it has a bit more under the hood than you might expect from its looks. So far it includes quite a few different motorsport varieties so you can hit the track in everything from open wheel cars to rallycross to eurotrucks.
Get ready to update your itinerary because Euro Truck Simulator 2 is making some new travel plans. The trucking sim is still scheduled to visit Iberia in April, but SCS Software have let on where they're headed after. They'll be venturing further east again in the Heart Of Russia DLC that's just been revealed. It's a ways off, but they've shared some details and quite a few screenshots of the next DLC.
If you enjoy intrigue and strategy but prefer spaceships to horses, here's a contender for you. Star Dynasties confirms what I think we all secretly fear: that no matter how far humanity progresses we're all just one major catastrophe from throwing up our hands and reverting to feudalism. It looks a lot like Crusader Kings in space, which isn't a bad thing. Star Dynasties enters early access this month with plans for a full release later this year.
GTA Online has historically been a stingy game. Making money s largely a grind to afford better tools to grind more efficiently, with the dream of one day maybe actually buying something fancy just for funsies. That grind became a bit friendlier in December with the launch of the Cayo Perico Heist, a mission to rob the party island of drug lord Juan "El Rubio" Strickler. It's so lucrative that many players can now buying the game's novelty superyachts, and as thanks (or insult to injury?) to El Rubio, some name them in his honour. Not a huge thing, but always makes me smile.
Crusader Kings 3 is a great strategic romp that lets you play out your kingmaking fantasies of intrigue and plotting. When it comes to pulling out the swords though, wouldn't it be cool if you could actually get down on the battlefield to fight your way to victory? Hold up, there's definitely a game for that. Well several, really, but this is about Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord. An upcoming mod will let you play out your crusading wars on Bannerlord's battlefields and then send the results back to your Crusaders campaign to continue strategising.
Well hot dang, if it isn't another TFI Friday. Over the past couple of weeks I've been trawling the underbelly of Steam new releases to find some fun new indie games for you to check out. And let me tell you, there's nothing like spending several hours at a time on the platform to remind you how much grim hentai ends up on Steam these days.
It's not that it's there, so much as how sometimes it's disguised and I'm not prepared for it. I clicked through to a game that described itself as being about looking after a friendly sheep. "Cute!", I thought, much like a fool would think. From the screenshots, I can't say I believe she shares much of the anatomy of a sheep, but she sure was friendly. Anyway, the boob-cannon of new releases aimed right at my face shunted my psyche towards a lot of aggressively wholesome> things this week.
As more of us spend time staring at our gaming monitors all day, protecting your eyes from the blue light they emit has never been more important. If you've bought a new PC screen in the last couple of years, chances are there's probably a blue light filter built right into your display. Windows 10 has its own night mode you can toggle on and off, too. But would you go as far as spending $200 on a special pair of blue light filtering glasses? That's what Razer's new Anzu smartglasses are primarily all about, although they do double up as polarised sunglasses, too, and come with a built-in mic and speakers so you can take phone calls on them and listen to music. I swear I'm not making this up.
The first proper look at some Aliens: Fireteam gameplay has surfaced, showing a bunch of xenomorph-splatting in the upcoming third-person shooter. Announced earlier this week, Aliens: Fireteam is a three-player co-op game set 23 years after the Alien trilogy. Judging from this gameplay footage players will be pitted against hordes upon hordes of various aliens, which is far too many for my liking. Uh, not because I'm scared of them or anything. Actually, I think they're rather un-scary when so many are attacking at once.
Hello everyone. It's a strange new frontier we're dropping into this week. James Law and I have produced words from our throats on the topic of Call Of Duty: Warzone. Yes, Warzone Audio Bang joins the Electronic Wireless Show and The PC Gaming Weekspot as Rock Paper Shotgun's third podcast. It's our hope that you can enjoy our fortnightly Warzone-related ramblings while you're doing things like cleaning the oven, or walking your cat.
