It's never too early in the week to play 4D minigolf

I need to avoid any complicated write-ups, or my brain will detonate similarly and paint north London grey. Ah, a minigolf game! I think I can just about hack the concept of minigolf, on this most desperate of Mondays. It is golf but mini. Why, I’ve managed to write 100 words without even looking at the Steam page. Let’s do so now. Wait a minute, this isn’t minigolf. It’s Mini Mini Golf Golf....

No, you're not imagining Monster Hunter Wilds' beta combat feeling off 's a good reason for it

As such, I didnt spend enough time with the combat to get a proper feel for it. According to aclip shared on X by user Blue Stigma, there’s a good reason for those misgivings. It’s all about frames, you see. Blue Stigma uses the switch axe in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate as an example. The hitstop for its overhead swing lasts eight frames. So, whats the problem in Wilds? The result is much limper and less satisfying combat across the board....

Slitterhead review: body-hopping action horror that's best left dispossessed

No, sadly not. A little later, you fight the slippery bastards head-on. Sadly, this haze also quickly starts to dissipate, replaced by a thick fog of jank. For starters, there’s a complete lack of excitement to venturing out into the field. What’s frustrating about this framing that Kowlong is, for the most part, a wonderfully realised space. The problem is that it all feels so lifeless at the same time....

Straftat review: an anarchic First-Person Speed dater you'll fall in love with

The setup couldnt be simpler. And what makes Straftat so riveting is that these tournaments are assembled from amassivearray of maps. These maps vary wildly in theme and structure. Its like a compact, deathmatch variant of Unreal Tournaments Facing Worlds, but theres a twist. Even the more trad arenas brim with tactical potential. Indeed, many maps are defined by the weapons they make available. Cycling through all this variety is tremendous fun, especially given the speed at which Straftat moves....

The Forever Winter devs answer complaints about water scarcity... by adding thieves who invade your HQ and steal your water

Water way to respond When nightmarish sci-fi extraction shooterThe Forever Winterlaunched into early access in September it wassomewhat messy. Bugs and maddening enemy spawns diminished the tension of being a fleshy human scavenger in a mech battlefield. But one feature annoyed some players much more - fresh water. The catch being that this water diminishes even while you’re not playing the game. If it runs out completely, then everything you’ve collected gets wiped....

Thysiastery is an anime Legend Of Grimrock, and you can attack the dinosaur merchants if you’re a complete monster

How does one break the femur of a slime? One of my lesser quality tests for anRPGis whether the shopkeepers complain at you for not buying anything. Grumpy shopkeepers, good RPG. But not turn based dungeon crawlerThysiastery, it turns out. Youd be a monster for it, of course, but its nice to have options. Command a party of bearers of the Brand, drawn into a vast Labyrinth. Youll level up, hoover up shinies, make discoveries....

Twitch introduce mandatory "Politics and Sensitive Social Issues" label, just in time for the US election

Streamers who fail to use the label appropriately will receive email warnings and eventually, have their accounts suspended. Twitch may also intervene to apply labels without the streamer’s say-so. They’re also OK with “intermittent mentions of politics, politicians, or sensitive social issues”. What does “intermittent” mean, exactly, as a proportion of total streaming time? The ambiguity leaves the new category open to bad-faith reporting.
