Rob from the rich and give to the poor, that old Robin Hood’s deal, right? Wrong! In Hood: Outlaws & Legends you’ll be nicking treasure from the oppressive government and, yeah, still giving back to the people it’s been taken from. I hope you get to keep some loot, though. At The Game Awards last night, the upcoming medieval co-op heist game got a shiny new trailer, and a release date to boot: it’s coming out May 10th, 2021.

Because of all the Dragon Age 4 and BioWare talk over the last week, we thought we’d challenge each other on western RPGs in this week’s Mystery Steam Reviews.

Little did we know — and as Matthew correctly identified on this week’s episode of The PC Gaming Weekspot — we definitely made a few wrong choices and got the bad ending in this.

Cyberpunk 2077 is predominantly a first-person game, with players seeing the world of Night City from the eyes of its protagonist, V. But many players are wondering whether it is possible to play the game in third-person mode instead. This guide will answer your questions about whether third-person exists in Cyberpunk 2077, and how much of the game you can play from this perspective.

What is it with The Game Awards and showing spooky trailers so late when I should’ve been sleeping? Here’s one I thought would give me a little fright last night, Evil Dead: The Game. Yep, good old chainsaw man Ashley Williams is coming to chop up some evil and dead things in a new co-op and PvP third-person shooter next year. It’s being developed by Saber Interactive, the folks who made World War Z. I’m getting some Left 4 Dead vibes from the trailer, what do you reckon?

What’s this? The eleventh door of the RPS Advent Calendar is being held captive by a tiny gnome? Better make him some tasty porridge with the ingredients in your backpack so you can make peace and discover the treasure waiting inside.

Sega today announced that the rest of the main Yakuza games – that’s 3, 4, 5, and 6 – will come to PC next year. That is, by my estimation, about 8000 hours of Kiryu helping strangers with emotional quandaries and absolutely decking villains. Hell yeah. They’ll all be covered by Xbox Game Pass For PC too.

Innersloth gave us all a first proper look at their upcoming Among Us map, The Airship, at The Game Awards last night. Get ready to murder your pals on a big red plane, complete with ladders and floating platforms on which to make your escape. It’s no spaceship or abandoned research station, but I still wouldn’t wanna be trapped on it with some killer spacemen. It’s arriving early next year, bringing new skins and tasks too.

DigixArt, the folks behind 11-11 Memories Retold have announced their new venture, Road 96. It’s a procedural road trip game where you play as a refugee attempting to flee a country under authoritarian rule.

One of the best things about The Game Awards last night was its musical interludes. It was nice to break up all those game trailers with some beats to jam out to. It turns out we’ll be hearing a little more from one of the bands that performed in their own game next year, too. We Are OFK is an upcoming interactive series starring OFK, a virtual pop band working on their very first EP.

Everyone’s favourite bleeding slab of meat will finally return this month, as Team Meat have announced a release date of December 23rd for Super Meat Boy Forever. A decade after the first game and six years after its initial announcement, it’s almost time. The platformer sequel will have us once again leaping and sliding through all sorts of deathtraps, dying plenty but learning from it. You can see a few murderous situations in the new trailer below.
