Revisiting Atomfall’s pasty-pocalyse survival jaunt a year on, I’ve finally been seduced by its hallucinated monks and jarred brains
When I finished my first playthrough of Atomfall for review last year, I felt like Rebellion’s pasty-littered survival game was just starting to properly get its hooks into me. I’ve dug plenty of short games over the years - Return of the Obra Dinn and The Red Strings Club are a couple of examples - but with that brevity comes the challenge of delivering on the promise of your premise in a briefer window than longer games are afforded. The base version of Atomfall instead reached its
Leaked GTA Online revenue data boosts publisher Take-Two's stock
Even though the hacker group ShinyHunters successfully broke through (part of) Rockstar Games' security and extracted internal data, the developer and its huge publisher, Take-Two, haven't minded the unfortunate event much. In fact, it seems they're coming out on top. Read more

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

Overwatch's Switch 2 version is currently missing the promised 60 FPS boost, but a fix is coming soon
Overwatch's relaunch, which has totally erased '2' from its title and brought back some of the original iteration's looser vibe, has been pretty convincing so far. Now, Season 2 has just hit alongside new DPS hero Sierra, but the accompanying Switch 2 port is, sadly, a disappointment that hasn't quite landed as advertised. Read more
"The most fun I've had in the last week playing" - Marathon players react to the mid-season update, and its new friendly-first features
Marathon has received a massive mid-season update, bringing with it a host of balance changes, major adjustments to powerful tools, and new cosmetics. But one of the most interesting additions was the C.A.R.R.I feature - which promotes something truly alien to the mostly ruthless playerbase: being friendly to each other. Read more

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
Hades 2's second post-launch patch adds in more prophecy conclusions and flirtier friends
The work of an early access game, even when it's hit 1.0, is never truly done. That is certainly the case for Hades 2, which has received its second post-launch patch today. Nothing mind blowing has been added in with this one, but there does seem to be a few more narrative threads tied up, and a number of quality of life changes. Read more
I hope you're hungry, because Dosa Divas storms out of the kitchen today
I expect that writing this up is about to make me quite hungry. Dosa Divas! It's the latest small-scale RPG from Outerloop Games, the same devs behind 2023's Thirsty Suitors. Where their previous game was all about battling off unsuitable suitors, food takes centre stage in Dosa Divas, pitting you as a pair of sisters and their trusty ancient spirit-mech who are "on a mission to defeat a rotten fast food empire and reconnect communities with their traditions." And it's out right now! Read more
"I wanted you to feel bad": former Battlefield audio designer recalls punching himself to record more realistic gunshot screams
Arc Raiders audio director Bence Pajor has spoken on the Game Makers Notebook podcast about his earlier career at DICE, working on sound effects for the Battlefield FPS series. The discussion includes some insights about how Pajor – a former Swedish military sniper – created effects for soldiers getting struck by bullets. Amongst other things, he experimented with punching himself hard enough to elicit cries of pain. It's not clear whether the resulting recordings made their way into
Disney yank a bunch of games from Steam, including bonafide classics Star Wars: Dark Forces, Outlaws and High School Musical 3: Senior Year Dance
A bunch of older games linked to or published by Disney have just been delisted from Steam in one fell swoop, with the original 90s versions of Star Wars: Dark Forces and Outlaws among their number. These 15 make up the second round of Disney-related games to be yanked from the storefront this year, with 14 having gotten the hook back in January. Read more
Marathon's next experimental mode goes all in on sponsored kits, which sounds great for scaredy-cats like me
There's another experiment on the way to Marathon. Last month, Bungie started testing a duos mode in the extraction shooter. According to an update from Joe Ziegler, that mode will be making its way into the game as a full feature in season two, with Bungie "diligently working on delivering that to all of you who are eagerly awaiting its return." But with this update comes the next test: a new mode that forces you into using sponsored kits. 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
