It's pointless me trying to sum this game up before you've clapped the lips of your eyes around it and taken a long drag. There's a trailer below. Do it now. Nod if you've done so. Right, that was Soul Injector Commando, a video game about shooting some semblance of everyday humanity into the bodies of the billionaires who're behind all of the world's problems.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developers Sandfall Interactive have wheeled out news that the RPG'll be getting a free update which'll include a new location for its party to explore, more boss battles, and some extra costumes. The studio are teasing that there'll be other stuff packed into this update, which they say is designed to act as a thank you to folks who've delved into the Belle Époque Frenchness.

Paradox have slapped a release date on Crusader Kings 3's All Under Heaven DLC, the 4X strategy game's "largest expansion" ever, which extends its dynastic soap opera to medieval China, Japan and Southeast Asia. The map expansion is coming on 28th October. It's the first time the series has ventured to these latitudes, which seem a little incompatible with the European crusader premise. It also introduces Japanese language support.

Amid continued concerns about Steam and Itch's changing of their approach to adult games earlier this year, the UK government have stated they've got "no plans to intervene" in the decisions of payment processors who opt to withdraw support over certain content.

If you're out of the loop, Itch and Valve changed their rules regarding adult content in games a few months ago. That prompted a number of delistings and takedowns, as well as concerns about censorship. The storefronts pointed to pressure from credit card companies who process their purchases, with Australian protest group Collective Shout taking credit for nudging those payment processors into action.

The classic 1999 version of System Shock 2 is set to be pulled from sale on Steam later this week. It'll still be kicking around, but as a freebie offered to owners of the game's 25th anniversary remaster, rather than something you can buy separately on Valve's store.

Falling over is the thing in Baby Steps. Sure, the goal in Bennett Foddy and co's walking sim is technically getting from A to B despite your doughy corpus' best efforts to get in the way, but it's the constant stumbling and hilarious unintended pratfalls which make these sorts of games really sing. You get plenty of that playing alone, but for those who want to take things to the next level, Baby Steps has a multiplayer mod that'll let you slap against your mates and gently bump their mushy forms off course.

As someone from the north east of England, there's a good chance my genetic makeup's some mix of old school celt and one of the many Scandinavian invaders who sailed across looking to conquer back in a time when blokes called Cnut roamed northern Europe. I offer that background in case it helps you understand why, even though I'm not part t-rex as far as I know, the premise of Dinolords very much gets my blood pumping.

It's a hybrid of medieval strategy and action RPG which injects rideable t-rexes into a war between the Danes and the English, and a closed alpha test of it starts on October 31st, ahead of an early access release next year.

This year’s Amazon Prime Big Deal Days has been pretty rubbish for graphics card savings. Unfortunate, as if there’s one type of PC component that needs to get down the affordability gym and lose some money weight, it’s GPUs. Nevertheless, a spot of search bar digging has revealed one halfway decent discount on Amazon US, and it just so happens to be on one of the better cards of the current generation: the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB.

An 11% slashing brings this relatively VRAM rich model – in the form of a triple-fanned Gigabyte design – from $470 to $420, which further research confirms to be scraping the bottom end of 16GB RTX 5060 Ti prices.

It’s been over a year since I adopted the Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL as my daily keyboard, and here it is, still parked on my desk, ready and willing for me to bash out some nonsense about Titanfall or whatever. It’s also what I’m using you inform you that you can get one of your very own, for less, as the G515 is currently on sale both inside and out of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event.
