Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 review: a wonky career mode gives meaning to the formless flight sim

Crazy taxi London Gatwick Airport is a rare shade of brown, known to neither science nor art. A brown that doesnt appear on the light spectrum. No easel contains it. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024captures Gatwicks brown perfectly. Career mode has you working your way up from a wet-eared rookie pilot at an achingly realistic pace. An extensive series of flight school training sessions equips you with the skills required for each mission jot down....

Naiad review: still waters run deep they say, but then these waters aren't still

Yet here’s the cause of my pity. Why else would I have snapped all those necks? You use these abilities to experiment with the environment. When new flora and fauna are introduced, the process does not change. Those birds in the branches? Sing to deposit enough of them on a different, glowing branch, and an egg will hatch. Part of the problem is that your actions are divorced from their consequences....

Piece By Piece is about mending, painting and selling goods in a cute repair shop

If you might’t get enough of upcycling in Trash Goblin, here’s one more for you. Counter to its cosy vibes, the press release threatens an iota of challenge to your management. It’s faintly exhausting. Even the dialogue boxes seem familiar. I hope I’m wrong. Piece By Piece is aiming for release in early 2025on Steam.

Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon Of Serpentcoil Island Review: a traditional roguelite heavy on charm but light on agency

Early stages soon lose any real sense of surprise, and later ones can feel low on real agency. I want a new roguelike run to feel vital and verdant; heady with grand plans and plan-shattering twists. One of these parts is a talking ferret named Koppa, bless him. Mostly, though, youll be braving that mountain, one tile at a time. Shiren heals one HP for each tile, but also drains a hunger meter....

The RPS Advent Calendar 2024, December 10th

It troubles our dreams and waking moments alike. Its a game about sin and projectile patterns and llamas. Its… …Arco! Edwin:Im still struggling to decide how seriously to take Arco. You could also read it as an affectionate joke about both those things. Arcos battle system is by some distance its best feature. Make some space, or commit to a kill? Smash the boss with that big move youve been saving, or interrupt one of their attacks?...

This is my first time learning of this nearly useless novelty keyboard gift and I am in mourning for all the microseconds I’ve wasted in my life

I even copied McLuhans name across from a different tab, which Im sure hed appreciate/be horrified by. I love those shortcuts. They are the wind beneath my wings, and the crud buildup beneath the bottom left of my keyboard. But I think now that when they saw those things, they were afraid. As I am afraid now. I am afraid now. I highlight the above words, and reach to press Ctrl+C....

I have rarely hated a bad guy as much as I hate Voss in Indiana Jones And The Great Circle

It’s not just because he’s a Nazi. It’s because he’s asmartassNazi. He is a hideous grab bag of all the things that make an instantly detestable villain in the series. But there’s something else. Warning:Here be spoilers. From the first moment we meet Voss in thispretty swell first-person adventure, he is unnerving. He touches his face in a weird way. This is already batshit villain behaviour and it evokes a kind of disgust at his creepiness....

It’s worth downloading the demo for uncanny horror Eclipsium just to stare at your hands

Nails the atmosphere The only sound that greets you upon booting upEclipsiumis a loudly throbbing heart. “Its fine”, I decided. “Its just a heart! Ive got a heart. Its actually very useful. Nothing to be scared of”. Thats definitely a horror thing, that I was forced to admit. “If my heart was on a giant obelisk, Id be proper shaken up, I reckon.” So starts Eclipsiums very first bit of aggressive disorientation, and it basically just escalates from there....
