From the developer of Kine, Lab Rat is an upcoming block-pushing puzzle game that places you in a series of procedurally generated tests controlled by an AI. It sounds a little like Portal, and the devs at Chump Squad know it, but instead of mocking humans at every given opportunity, the game is instead designed to satirise other games and genres. You can try out a little bit of it now too before it releases next year, as applications are open to get into Lab Rat's closed beta.

The last time I was in Paris I saw a game developer climb into a giant, plastic skull and bathe in red wine. Which is to say, the bar for exciting Paris happenings has been set pretty high. Did I expect Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Parisian adventure to meet it? I did not. The previous DLC, Wrath Of The Druids, was an underwhelming trip to Ireland that recycled the main game’s settlement development and conspirator assassinations. These ideas were frayed by the end of the campaign, let alone after enduring the rough baggage handling at Irish border control. Chances of surviving yet another long haul journey? Not good.

You certainly fear the worst at The Siege Of Paris’s outset: it’s another of Eivor’s viking pals asking you to visit another farflung region where another local despot is bumping heads with the invaders. That the main story consists of similar regional yarns means any DLC excursions slot neatly into the whole, but it also results in repetition. Go to a place, learn the stakes, make a decision, go home. In this case it’s Charles the Fat causing grief, with his habit of decorating the French countryside with headless settlers. He isn’t subtle, but I do welcome this ogre of a baddie, given the villain-shaped hole in Valhalla proper.

Aragami 2 will be sneaking onto Xbox Game Pass next month. The third-person stealth game was announced for the subscription at last night’s ID@Xbox showcase, which is great news as it’s a decent stealth series that supports co-op. Convincing others to join you on a supernatural assassination jaunt just got a lot easier. They also snuck a “story trailer” out after the announcement. Have a peep.

The Xbox Wireless Headset is one of the best Xbox headsets, and it also works great on PC - via Bluetooth or Microsoft's Xbox Wireless Adapter, which you might already have to use an Xbox controller wirelessly on your computer. It's been out of stock in the UK for ages, but it's just recently popped up at Currys - and it's even available at a wee discount.

In short, if you use code GAMINGFND3 at the checkout, you'll be able to pick up this critically acclaimed headset for £85 rather than the usual £90. Not bad!

Crucial's P2 NVMe SSD is a great value drive, offering up to 2400MB/s speeds - while costing only a little more as SATA SSDs that are nearly five times slower. Normally, the P2 costs around £90 or £100, but today someone at Ebuyer got a bit excited and dropped their price to £60. Amazon matched the price, and now you can pick up the drive from either retailer at an absolutely wild total. I'm buying one, and I don't even need it - it's just too good of a deal to pass up!
