Soulframe's latest major update is a broadside of pirate weapons, class abilities and outfits, plus falling alien skytowers
Pensive and flamboyant action-RPG Soulframe has just received a new update that adds a pirate class, together with rapiers, cutlasses, and a flouncy sailor's outfit. The class in question is the Duelo pact, which boasts of "swashbuckling abilities": these include an artful dodge that spawns a decoy phantom, an enemy-slowing sword flourish, and the old classic 'flintlock to the face' manoeuvre. They're also introducing a haunted shipwreck environment, plus a bunch of new enemies, another siege in

Slay the Spire 2 roadmap suggests we won't get matchmaking but does promise "whimsy" – here's what's new
It's been a little more than a month since Mega Crit's hugely anticipated sequel Slay the Spire 2 released in early access, but already the team is on the "road to version 1.0", "fix[ing] up major issues, improving the feedback systems, polishing up visuals, and reworking/balancing content so that all of the cards and items feel interesting and viable".

What are we all playing this weekend?
I don’t know about you, readers, but this past week’s gone by in a bit of a blur. Did I volunteer to take WAWAPs for today, or was I forced at Ziff Davis canteen sporkpoint? I can’t even remember, but perhaps relaxing with some PC games – and/or reading about what you’re all playing – will help lift the brainfog. Read more
"It's been an interesting year": the jailed creator of Fortune's Run has passed parole and is back working on her Deus Ex-style FPS
Last January, the lead developer of very good immersive sim shooter Fortune's Run revealed that she was going to prison for three years, having been convicted of an unspecified violent crime several years prior. The game's early access development was put on hold as a consequence. A parole board has since reviewed Dizzie's case, however, and granted her release after roughly a year in the clink. She's now keen to start working on Fortune's Run once more. Read more
The Division was originally a World of Warcraft style MMO, but "that skill component wasn't there", says Massive Entertainment
Massive Entertainment has revealed that at one point in development, The Division was a World of Warcraft style MMORPG with a hotbar and dog companion, before transforming into the game we know today. Read more
Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is a strong comeback for a strategy RPG series with few modern competitors, though it could explain itself better
It's been over a decade since the last Heroes of Might & Magic game, and more than 25 since we set foot in the fantasy world of Enroth, the setting of the first three titles in the strategy series. So there is a lot riding on Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, the reboot of the series from developers Unfrozen, backed both by a collaboration between Ubisoft and Hooded Horse, and the series' creator Jon Van Caneghem. Who better to tell if this venerable and cherished jewel within PC gaming's crow
Slay the Spire 2 gets its first major update, buffing the Regent, bringing sweeping balance changes, and adding a powerful new card
Slay the Spire 2 has received its first major balance update, bringing with it a suite of substantial changes after roughly a month of continuous tweaking on the game's beta branch. With the Regent recieving massive buffs, a new card in the mix, and a phobia mode, regular 'ol players can experience plenty of new surprises. Read more
Rally Point: Genre-crushing choose-your-own strategy Heart of the Machine might be peak Arcen
Centuries ago, before 2022, before the Good Darkness of 2020, before the Before Times of 2015, the ancient age before even that of 2013, and perhaps, some fringe scholars suggest, even before the beginning of this sentence, there was Arcen Games. Read more
After a month of haggling with players, Mega Crit make Slay the Spire 2's beta patches official, with big character reworks alongside new art and scoring systems
Slay the Spire 2 has received a major update that rolls all of the additions, tweaks and fixes from recent beta updates into the main branch of the game - though developers Mega Crit are at pains to repeat that "this is still an Early Access game, so just because something made it from beta to main does not mean it's set in stone".

Infamous Keepers is a reverse dungeon crawler where you have to survive after mass layoffs and oh no is this a games industry metaphor
Infamous Keepers, I think, might be a game about the games industry. It's not about making games explicitly, not in the slightest. It is a tower defence roguelite, one where you run a dungeon, with this as the narrative setup, however: "Your employer, the Dungeon Company, has recently gone through massive layoffs, putting their dungeons to the test by closing the portals that connect them… if a team of heroes makes it all the way through, you can kiss your career goodbye." You do have to
Cyber Knights: Flashpoint's latest update lets you two-time a pair of warring factions or ignore them completely
Don't you just love the smell of free stuff in the morning? That's exactly what developer Trese Brothers is offering up with the latest update for Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. The new update for the RPG is more of a wholesale expansion, or a new era as the devs describe it, called Ward War. It's all about territorial disputes, leaving you with the choice to pick a side, pick both sides, or just fob it off for something else entirely. Read more
Valve look like they might be rolling out 30-day Steam price tracking for everyone, making it easier to spot when game discounts are at their discountiest
Some digging through the Steamy innards of Steam could point to Valve having plans to roll out 30-day game price tracking beyond the European countries it's currently a feature in. That'd make it easier to tell at a glance whether the discount that's tempting you towards blowing some cash on another addition to your backlog is actually the boon you think it is, or an increase on some previously lower price.

Minos review - Theseus can have the minotaur, this roguelike tower defense gets just too punishing
The mercenary I'm watching stalk the corridors of the dank labyrinth is right to be scared. He's already seen the rest of his party impaled by pressure plate-triggered spike traps, crushed by heavy stone doors, and drawn off the path to the minotaur's lair by a siren song-emitting statue. Alone in the ever-shifting maze, he continues on his mission to kill the Cretan king Minos's bull-horned son, Asterion. He doesn't even realise that he's about to turn the corner into range of a waiting ballist
Homeworld junkies rejoice, brilliantly brutal sci-fi strategy sim Nebulous is finally getting its singleplayer campaign
Hooded Horse and Eridanus Industries are finally adding a singleplayer narrative campaign option to Nebulous: Fleet Command, the outrageously nerdy space navy strategy game that makes Homeworld look like bashing rubber ducks together in a star-spangled bathtub. The first act of that campaign launches on May 29th, and puts you in charge of a fleet operating behind enemy lines in a wartorn star system, over the course of 17 missions. You know what this means, don't you? It means I have to reme
It seems the Windrose hype was on to something, as the piratical survival game sets sail to positive Steam reviews and high player numbers
Ahoy there, there's a new piratical romp on the gaming seas. Windrose - formerly known as Crosswind - is out now in early access, and so far, it seems to be faring really rather well. Read more
"We had this problem before in the games we created with CD Projekt": Blood of Dawnwalker CEO defends use of AI voice placeholders to save time
Open world vampire RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker makes use of AI-generated voice acting, Rebel Wolves CEO Konrad Tomaszkiewicz has revealed, but doesn't actually feature it in-game. The devs deployed the soul-regurgitating tech to create placeholder voice performances early in development, in order to tinker with quests and the like without re-recording the associated dialogue. Tomaszkiewicz says this has kept costs down, citing his experience at CD Projekt working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and
If you need more Shakespeare with your Slay the Spire, check out demon lawyer deckbuilder The Killing Stone
Slay the Spire 2 may yet prove this year's best deckbuilder, but The Killing Stone is more intriguing. It's also heckin' Elizabethan, if you opt for the "period" dialogue option. The setup, in present-day English: it's the 17th century, and you are a student of the great occultist Mariken Svangård. As is the fashion among occultists, your mentor has just popped her clogs in mysterious circumstances, and you've come to a bizarre mansion in the Antarctic circle to pay respects and meet her r
