Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader review, if complex RPG

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Traderis a game that I have been waiting a long time for. The big difference this time is one of scale. 40k is all about maximalism, after all. Everything is bigger and badder and defined by an urge for more. Not only that, you’re a potential heir to the Von Valencius rogue trader dynasty. (Spoilers: you quickly get the job thrust upon you.) You’ll engage in space battles, manage colonies and direct massive planetary assaults....

Foamstars review-ish bathtime Splatoon lacking commitment to the bit

Wash me outside, how ‘bout dat. Funnily enough, both sentiments are only kinda true. Oh, and the game only sort of resembles Splatoon in both fun and unflattering ways. Also unlike Splatoon, foam can be layered. Spraying enough of the stuff will build small candy-coloured mountains and crevices and speed bumps and walls. Cutting across the foam clouds, hopping over enemy foam, and retaining momentum is genuinely tons of fun....

Honkai Star Rail delights with a moreish Americana nightmare in Penacony update

But it’s certainly not its only impressive addition. The time is always one minute before midnight, so the party never has to stop. Alluring jazz and barbershop styles help the streets feel alive while running from those billboards. Mysterious, distorted piano keys and woodwind humming accompany you while weaving through dreamscapes. Epic drums play over intense boss battles, and heartfelt pop songs highlight intimate conversations. Penacony is the best Honkai: Star Rail has ever sounded - and it sounded pretty damn good already....

Children of the Sun is an engrossing indie sniper puzzler that hits the spot

Does The Girl have some kind of special powers? Were the cult in question, the Children of the Sun, anything to do with that? But where are they all? Around corners, through windows into buildings, hiding in the trees. Get your path right, and no one is safe. Viewed from above, perhaps, the angles and hiding places may be more easy to discern. Or, perhaps, to navigate through the cracked roof of a building....

Discworld rerelease "may happen" but depends on "King Charles", developer says

UPDATE: Rhianna Pratchett responds. “If we did have the rights, then this would be a whole lot easier. “Who knows what might happen if that’s really the case. Maybe he’s a fan,” she said.

How can a picture of flowers make you see games differently?

Hitting the streets with Total Refusal. But when it takes place in Tom Clancy’s: The Division, avoiding violence is difficult. Next, they pause to watch an NPC endlessly beat something that looks suspiciously like a human corpse. Jane Walk captures the twin themes that underlie much of their work. Firstly, it explores how games so often reproduce an uncritical, capitalist, imperialist political perspective. And secondly, it reveals that they’re actually completely absurd....

Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash Review

Ah, the video game tie-in. Naturally, games based on anime aren’t anything new. To combo, you press the same single button. There is one way in which the 2v1 aspect can help, which is by executing a Joint Attack. Completing Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash’s story mode took me about five hours. To some, that might sound like a passable length. Rush Battle and Survival Mode, meanwhile, are the same mode....

Death Stranding's iOS and MacOS ports are a mixed bag

Impressive on Mac, but iPhone 15 Pro struggles. The promise is mouthwatering, especially on iOS: the full Death Stranding experience on portable, fanless devices. The basic visual setup is convincing, with visual controls not too far from its PS4 counterpart. Near-field detail is about the same between iPhone and PS4, while more distant LODs are sometimes simplified. Foliage density and quality has also been tweaked. Screen-space reflections are maintained on iPhone, though they do look a bit coarse....
