Old School RuneScape's latest League is out now, pushing thousands of players to cry at kids and get haircuts for the devil
Old School RuneScape has just launched its sixth ever limited-time league event, allowing MMO lovers to dive into a selection of new servers to experience the world under the thumb of the hellish Yama. Called Demonic Pacts, over 150,000 people are playing the game as of writing, mere hours since its release. Read more
Samson's second update continues to swat serious bugs, and its street races have been tweaked into ideal day-ending money-makers
Liquid Swords continue to chip away at the biggest issues Samson, their bitesize tale of a small-time crim pulling jobs to gradually remove the debt albatross from his neck, has faced since it launched the other week in a state the ranged from harmlessly quirky to frustratingly broken. The second of these patches picks up the first's problem-eliminating baton, but also sees the devs start to make some more in-depth tweaks to mechanics that work fine, but leave a bit to be desired.

Horror RPG Look Outside's chunky new 2.3 update gives you even more reason to share soup with the cursed folk living in your basement
Funky horror RPG Look Outside has just gotten a big update, with some fresh additions, enough balancing tweaks to kill any window-looking monsters, and some extra "nasty surprises" for its cursed mode. Seriously, these are some looooooooooooooooooong patch notes for the Devolver-published flick of spooky pixel artist Francis Coulombe. Read more
Beautiful, flawed MMO Book of Travels is now a $5 singleplayer RPG, in a break from the industry trend of killing off struggling online games
I've long been an embarrassed fan of Book of Travels, the "tiny MMO" with heady artistic influences from Swedish indies Might & Delight. It's a world of enchanted string, vast cutaway forests, tinkling tea sets, and sleepy quasi-Orientalist cities. Our former news writer Lauren Morton called it "the cure for my break-up with MMOs" back in 2021. But it's never quite accomplished its ambitions, with the developers laying off around 25 staff following a difficult early access launch, and postponing
Labyrinth.os is a dungeon crawling ode to late '90s and early 2000s uncanny CGI
Labyrinth.os is the kind of game where I'm not entirely sure I can tell you what it is exactly. It is, as the game's itch.io page says, a "new 3D Dungeon Crawling Dream for Windows Machines." A brief, seemingly in-world description explains the setup for the game too: "Before dying out, the smartest of the world from before left a machine, A machine with the power to restart the world, The Thirteen Architects who were built to maintain this machine dubbed it: The World Egg." But beyond that, it
"You cannot create art like this": The Blood of Dawnwalker director on making AAA games that aren't just interested in money
If the *waves hands frantically* general state of the games industry hasn't made it clear already, it cannot be understated how much of a priority making money is for the suits that own all these game studios. Who cares if the thing is good! Will it make lots of money? And judging by a recent interview, The Witcher 3 director and director of the upcoming The Blood of Dawnwalker Konrad Tomaszkiewicz takes issue with this frustrating fact. Read more
Phew, American Truck Simulator's latest beta update will tow me back to the road when I inevitably roll it trying to take a turn at 80 mph
I'm happily trucking down the highway in American Truck Simulator. The radio's on, it's a while to my next mandatory break, and there's not too much traffic. Things are going we-OH NO, OH BALLS, THAT'S MY TURN! I'M JERKING THE WHEEL VIOLENTLY, I'M TURNING, I'VE FORGOTTEN TO BR. Right, now my truck needs to be turned the right way up. Usually, I'd need to be dragged all the way to the nearest service station, but thanks to a new feature SCS Software are starting to roll out to their truck sims, I
Idols Of Ash review - a terrific spelunking horror game that makes you choose between a rock and a giant centipede
When I think of Idols of Ash, I think of seven sounds, listed here in order of deepening dreadfulness. The first and nicest sound is the clink of my silvery grapple sinking its hook, interrupting the rush of air past my ears as I fall. That's the second, less nice sound. The third sound is a distant, tectonic groaning, disconsolate and wakeful: it could be the wind again, pushing through some unaccountably musical lungful of stone. Yeah, I'm sure that's all it is. The fourth sound is definit
A Storied Life: Tabitha review – a cosy yet pensive puzzler where the biggest challenge is getting someone else's story straight
It is, as I write this, one year to the day since I and two fellow, newly-orphaned siblings finished the process of auditing, packing, and clearing out our childhood home. The final task: enduring the fearsome rattling and suspect braking of our dad’s neglected Renault Megane, just long enough for it to sputter to someone mad enough to buy it off us. The irony, that this clanking full-stop on the end our bereavement’s lengthy administrative aspect could so feasibly kill me, was not l
Some cult classic retro Warhammer games are now on sale for Steam, including one cult classic that may be great for the Steam Deck
The Warhammer Classics Collection, a Steam Store event currently underway courtesy of Warhammer and SNEG, has brought with it a collection of beloved retro games to the PC store for the first time. This includes a particular cult classic which was devilishly hard to get working previously. Read more
"This is the most reasonable and wise thing to do": survival shooter Road to Vostok's dev plans to recharge a bit before tackling fixes and larger updates
Finnish survivashooter Road to Vostok has fared very well since wandering out of the early access gates last week, and its solo developer Antti Leinonen's now turning his thoughts towards how he'll build on that going forwards. However, he's keen not to rush into any fixes or work on overhauls/additions, instead taking some time to get back to 100% following what sounds like an intense push to this initial build. Read more
Stop Killing Games throw weight behind California bill that would force companies to either keep games working independently after server shutdowns or issue refunds
Stop Killing Games, the campaign group seeking to prevent online games being rendered unplayable when publishers shut down their servers, have moved to support a Californian bill that in its current form would require studios to either update games with impending server shutterings to they keep working independently aftwards or provide full refunds. The movement also claim their UK efforts are "far from dead in the water", noting they were called in to advise the Department for Culture, Media &
The Sunday Papers
Sundays are for remembering the glorious sunshine you enjoyed but half a week ago, while looking out at eleven degrees Celsius' worth of grey skies and drizzle. Did you know some people actually like rain? Imagine. The weather taste equivalent of forgoing a beautifully soft, Emperor-size memory foam mattress to sleep on a beach towel with some used needles poking out of it because "It’s more refreshing." The ruin of humanity. What was I.. yes, the Sunday Papers. Good words to read. There a
Roblox is introducing a subscription service that encourages more shady practices, is it? Sounds about right
I truly wonder when enough will be enough for Roblox Corporation. We all know how much money Roblox is raking in, and yet yesterday it was announced that a shiny new subscription service called Roblox Plus is on the way. This new subscription is effectively replacing Roblox Premium, which for varying monthly fees you'd get varying amounts of the in-game currency Robux. Except Roblox Plus sounds like a worse deal.

The Pines asks what would Alan Wake look like if it was about therapy, and I kind of want to know the answer
Therapy is not the cure all that many like to make it out to be, but that doesn't mean your favourite gruff fictional detective couldn't still do it. This is, sort of, what The Pines is about, a game that if you squint real hard could probably pass for Alan Wake. The vibes are certainly similar, especially with Alan Wake 2, given that The Pines sees its protagonist finding himself in a strange, wooded (sort of) town, but it's got enough of its own thing going on to pique my interest.

While it plays its roguelike autobattling safe, Skull Horde does put a smile on my flaming skeleton head
Skull Horde, the dungeon-crawling, minion-raising autobattler from Bore Blasters devs 8BitSkull, is out today. I like, it, mostly – maybe not as much as Alice B (RPS in peace) appreciated its predecessor’s helicopter-mining, but then there’s enough meat on Skull Horde’s magic bones to distinguish it as more than just another Vampire Survivors reanimation.

Esoteric Ebb review
When I tell people about Esoteric Ebb, I mostly say that I play an idiot, because there's something deeply comforting about being a waylaid government oaf. Sure, I've pledged allegiance to hierarchy and bureaucracy, but there's always the possibility of doing something naughty or exciting or even something unexpectedly brave. As an unassuming representative of the establishment, I dance on the knife's edge of plausible deniability and weaponised incompetency. Ultimately, though, there's always t
Swashbuckling co-op survivor Windrose sets sail into early access next week, which means it's time to battle Blackbeard and a big flower
Yo ho, me hearties. Windrose, the co-op pirate survival game which lured plenty of folks aboard its demo decks in the Steam Next Fest earlier this year, is set to launch into early access next week. Better start practicing those shanties and, er, preparing to stab a giant flower once you've fought weird plague creatures. Read more
