Hullo there! Another storm is rolling over the UK this weekend, the intimidating… Dennis. Dirty Den will bring more wind, rain, and flood risks, so do be safe. A good weekend to stay in with some video games, perhaps.
What are you playing this weekend? Here’s what we’re clicking on!
“What if QWOP but Tinder?” is not a question I have ever asked and did not ever want the answer to but here we have it nevertheless. As if going on a first date with a stranger weren’t stressful enough, Table Manners turns it into a full-on disaster with slapstick physics. I can imagine getting partway through one of these dates and pulling a full-on tableflip on accident. Getting matched with a date is easy (unlike real life) but keeping everyone at the table happy looks less so.
The Final Fantasy VII Remake is still about two months away now scheduled for April 10th but the marketing machine is spinning up and there’s no stopping it now. We still don’t know for sure> if it’s coming to PC but frankly I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t wind up in our hands when the year-long PlayStation exclusivity ends in 2021.
Today Square Enix have shared the entire intro movie for the game and it’s a whopping five minutes that goes almost shot-for-shot with the original. It does have some new bits of its own added in, you know, to show that time has passed.
Love – A Puzzle Box Filled With Stories seems plenty simpler than its overwrought name would imply. I often enjoy a short little thinker to tinker with, especially if it’s got a story to go along with it. Love looks just up that alley, with its spinning apartment floors that control past and present until you’ve fixed the mess the characters have made of their relationships. Rocketship Park released an announcement trailer for this little puzzler on Valentine’s Day but it’s about more than just romantic love, they say.
Evidence is mounting for a Baldur’s Gate 3 release date getting announced before the month is out. Better yet, that drop date (if we do in fact get one) could be before 2020 ends. Larian have already teased, well, something happening in February. Larian’s CEO Swen Vinckie’s been doing the vaguetweeting thing. Now, Google have accidentally slipped up, mentioning Baldur’s Gate 3 on a list of Stadia games coming in 2020. It’s a lot of conjecture but heck, let me spin you the yarn.
It’s been several years in the making, but Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is finally out. This action RPG boasts a lot of options to customise your character to be whatever you want it to be. Maybe you want to build a muscle-bound chap that can throw fireballs, or perhaps a poison inflicting mage that wields a pistol. Whatever floats your boat, there are some things you should keep in mind.
“Is it friendship? Or is it something more?” goes a common sentiment, particularly on days like today, when we celebrate the anniversary of Captain Cook getting stabbed to death. Well, that’s a stupid question, because there is nothing more than friendship.
Games are, for once, not much worse than other media at depicting and exploring themes of friendship. In fact, some of the best stories about it are in games. But since society is still too backwards to give those relationships their own day, I’m hijacking this tiresome profit-motivated holiday in their name.
What are my favourite games about friendship then? Well, they’re below, obviously.
Few feelings in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are as sweet as knowing that your dear White Wolf is equipped with the best weapons in the entire game. Our Witcher 3 best weapons guide will help you to reach these same heavenly euphoric heights of destruction, with our cherry-picked list of the very best steel and silver swords on offer.
The yearly D.I.C.E awards are officially wrapped for 2019’s games and a familiar bandit reportedly sneaked into the event. Well, as much as one’s sneaking when they’ve been nominated for a handful of awards. The Untitled Goose Game had its non-name thrown in the hat for Game Of The Year and the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences membership voted it in as winner. Congrats, horrible goose. Go add that shiny trophy to your collection of other stolen goods on top of the village bell and that lad’s glasses. You’ve done good.
Love is in the air, they say. Lovely deals, more like, amirite?
