If there’s one thing I really like about GTFO, it’s how nerve-wracking it is trying to creep past the developers’ freaky take on zombified people. It looks like it’s about to get even scarier, too, because the latest update, The Vessel, is bringing a brand new enemy for us to try our best to avoid. It’s also wiping away the old levels and bringing an entire new set for players to explore – to add to all the scariness, this new environment looks like it’s inspired by Alien.

Ah, the mysteries of the Ebay voucher. They appear mysteriously on store listings apparently without rhyme or reason, with terms and conditions that should make things clearer only serving to muddy the waters. Today, said voucher can be used on a bunch of PC gaming hardware over on Currys’ UK Ebay Store, including monitors and graphics cards to SSDs and some of our favourite mice and gaming headsets. The discounts aren’t massive – just 5-8% off in most cases – but that still equates to some decent savings if you’re on the lookout for, say, a Samsung T5 portable SSD on the cheap, or some money off AMD’s Ryzen 7 3700X or an RTX 2070 GPU. And to save you the trouble of trawling through everything yourself to see what has a voucher and what doesn’t, I’ve picked out all of the best stuff below.

Much like every other person with a Steam account and a penchant for penetrating plate armour with pikes and pillaging poor pig farmers, I’ve spent a good portion of the last few weeks with mammoth medieval moshpitter Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. I’ve besieged castles, sired heirs, and sniped horses. But recently, I’ve been wanting a bit more from the experience. Enraptured by the possibility of meeting new and interesting people to stab, I strapped on my platemail and saddled up until my wanderings led me to the Bannerlord Roleplay project, and its director, ‘Flavberg’.

“If a player decides they want to play a priest character, they can write up a character sheet for this character, go on the server, and speak to the local church to join their parish,” says Flavburg, giving an example. “They can start preaching the word of God, help and feed the poor, or they can become corrupt and demand indulgences from criminals. There is no limit to people’s imagination.”

Arcane, the cartoon set in the world of League Of Legends, will not be out this year. Riot Games announced yesterday that the global pandemic has somewhat hindered production, so they’re pushing it into 2021. Riot say they are “bummed” about the hold-up but “need to balance our excitement for the story with the safety and well-being of our teams and partners.” Yes, important to consider the well-being of your teams.

Red Dead Redemption 2 may be a good Animal Crossing substitute for people suffering from AC-FOMO at the moment, but I’d argue that the best PC stand-in for Nintendo’s cozy life sim is Adamgryu’s A Short Hike, which you can currently get on the cheap as part of Itch’s stupidly good value Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality.

Indeed, it made the long wait until Animal Crossing: New Horizons that bit shorter when I gorged myself on it over the Christmas holidays last year, and I often find myself returning to it even now. Despite being infinitely smaller in stature than Animal Crossing, my frequent dips into this cosy island jaunt became a bit like opening a tin of Cadbury Heroes, promising myself I’d have just the one and then an hour later finding the entire box had mysteriously disappeared in a puff of plastic wrappers. I just couldn’t get enough of it. So if you, too, are feeling hungry for some Animal Crossing, why not ease that growling stomach with a little Short Hike. I promise it will do wonders for your digestive system.
