Y’know that photographic trend of trying to match an old photo by snapping a new pic in the same location? Snapdragon riffs on that, taking a handful of old photos to a wee deserted island where things have changed quite considerably. Scrutinising ruins and landmarks to line up my view and recreate the photos also reminded me of Photobomb, and I’m always happy to remember that delightful dystopian snap ’em up. Snapdragon is a short, colourful, chill, and spooky explore-o-puzzler, and that’s it okay go have a look bye.

Gamer Network – the corporate overlords of RPS, Eurogamer, GamesIndustry.biz, and more – are launching a tabletop website and YouTube channel. They’re now hiring for all sorts of roles and this is your notice that you can apply.

Another day in the Fortbyte challenges, and this one asks you to dress up as Rox while standing atop of Stunt Mountain. If you know where to look, and we will tell you where to look, then this should be an easy challenge to complete, but note that you will need the Battle Pass for this one. New challenges unlock every day or so, requiring some specific conditions to unlock. There are a hundred in total and I will be going over all of them. Wish me luck.

Join me for a stroll down the hit parade to inspect last week’s top-selling games on Steam.

New weapons were bound to come into The Division 2 eventually and one of the best, if most elusive has to be the Nemesis Sniper Rifle. But how do you get it? These legendary guns are hard to come by and might not seem like much at first, but with proper care and use they are easily some of the very best death-dealing machines in the game.

I skipped over so much of what makes Mordhau great in my Mordhau review. Yes, it’s a multiplayer medieval melee where 64 swordboys duke it out in hectic battles, then retire to duel servers for more sophisticated brawling. Yes, there’s a cool customisation system. Yes, it’s hilarious. But I don’t think I properly stressed how silly it all is.

This video of two men running around a battlefield as shirtless boxers does though.
