Rarely does a deck-building game, nor even a tactical game, look so simply stylish as this. Fights In Tight Spaces is both, which is quite a nice mix of mechanics. Your suited-up James Bondian protagonist busts in to tiny tactical grids to knock baddie skulls with the help of their deck of action movie rear-kicking abilities.

I m having a moment in Divinity: Original Sin. I m lost in the limitless depths of my inventory, its small icons denoting vague categories which make me forget which character was meant to give what to whom, or where I put that unidentified sarong I swear I picked up in the last battle. Meanwhile, the NPCs in the market square around me are repeating their lines on 20-second loops. Quiet day on the market, it seems , says the lonely bougee lady, to absolutely no one. Yes, I think. It is. But it d be just that precious bit quieter if I stuck these blooming daggers between your ribs.
The big daddy of PC game stores broke a new online user count yesterday with a whammin’ 20 million folks signed in. Sounds like everyone is at home perusing their game libraries for some reason. On the real, the spread of Covid-19 is certainly keeping folks home more than planned and PC gaming is, of course, a perfect indoor time-sink of a hobby. Good on ya for staying home to game if you’re able, folks.

Since there’s good odds you’re either stuck at home right now or are soon to be, I thought it might do us all good to have a bit of story time. And today, I want to tell you the story of King Beef. It is a tragedy: a tale told by an idiot, full of mace duels and uranium armour, and signifying nothing. Nothing except, perhaps, the psychological dangers of taking social distancing a bit too far>. King Beef is one of my personal library of custom RimWorld scenarios, and I talked about it in a post last October. And with the recent release of RimWorld: Royalty, I figured it was the perfect time to wheel out the King once more, and see how he would fare in a galaxy where genuine kingship was now within his reach. He fared appallingly, as it turns out – but let’s take a trip together, and find out how:
The zombie apocalypse may> not be the most comforting thing to play through at the moment. Or maybe it will be pleasantly cathartic. You can decide for yourself later this week when the free demo for Jill and Ted’s Carlos’ horrible adventure through zombie-infested Raccoon City lands on PC. You can take the Resident Evil 3 remake for a spin starting Thursday. (more…)
Call Of Duty: Warzone gives players the option of buying their own preset loadouts during a match, to help eliminate the randomness associated with loot in Battle Royales. It’s one of the most important decisions you’ll have to make in Warzone, and it’s well worth knowing a few of the extremely powerful combinations of weapons that players are starting to discover.
Our Call Of Duty: Warzone loadouts guide will walk you through six of these top-tier loadouts, along with my own personal thoughts on the best Perks to use in Warzone.
Minecraft has become a graduation venue for a group of students in Japan, after schools have been shut for more than two weeks due to Covid-19. The Japanese school year ends in March, so rather than miss their end of year graduation ceremonies, a bunch of kids got together to create their very own virtual celebrations in Minecraft – and it’s exactly the content I needed to see today.
Owlcat Games last week finished their crowdfunding campaign for Pathfinder: Wrath Of The Righteous, an “indirect sequel” to 2018’s throwback isometric RPG Pathfinder: Kingmaker, with a big wad of cash. The Kickstarter was seeking at least $300,000 ( 240k) to help fund development and ended at a tidy $2,054,339 ( 1.6m).

I’m never one to shy away from criticism. I am the sort of brave, intrepid fellow who takes it on the chin, and uses it to begin introspective journeys in search of clarity and truth. And it is for this reason, as you will see, that I have returned to the 1993 version of Sierra’s King’s Quest VI.
