The demo for Streets Of Rogue 2 lets you roleplay as the world's most violent chef

Let him cook I punched a cultist in the face inStreets Of Rogue 2, just because. He started running away - something I would not allow. We ran across a beach, through public toilets, and into the surf. In the end I had to knock them both out. As they lay unconscious, I worried they might soon wake and tell someone what I had done. This can’t happen, I hate accountability....

I am happy to report that Building Relationships has more than one joke, and most of them are pretty good

Solid foundations You might have caught this one duringDay Of The Devsearlier this year. But the real gag here is the commitment to the bit. Besides that, its just a really charming and fun N64-style 3D platformer. The demosees you roll around the island meeting other structures. Some of them have quests for you. Some of them just want to evangelise about bouldering. you could introduce yourself as either Billding or Cementha....

I hope Straftat is 2024's breakout shooter, because the demo's 25 maps are gloriously unwholesome

Right on cue, the other player tumbled into view and shredded me with an AK. The player I met in my second match was more forgiving. “I honestly think the characters need more HP,” they said, generously. My wrists need more HP, actually. My eyes and reflexes need urgent patching. And so does Straftat, though it casts a wider net and seems more happy-go-lucky in its referencing. You get 25 maps in the demo, with 100 in the full release on 24th October....

Keep Driving made me nostalgic for road trips I’ve never been on and places I’ve never seen

It comes on strong and sweet; a rush of wind through an open window on a warm morning. In other words, it feels like being a teenager. But hitchhikers can also lend their skills to help you during these encounters. Basically: how many layers of fiction deep does this thing go? Its the clouds, I think. Thats a remembered skyline if I ever saw one. It doesnt all hit, but the parts that do hit like, well, a ten tonne tractor....

Knights In Tight Spaces kicks the Tight Fight formula in the direction of fantasy role-playing

Frights In Tight Spaces is the obvious horror spin-off. Sleights In Tight Spaces would be an urban pick-pocketing sim. Fights In Trite Spaces is about arguing with people on social media. Fortunately, Knights In Tight Spaces has a new demo to distract me. I don’t even need to play the demo to endorse it. but the summary is: game good. It’s a turn and grid-based tactical puzzler (hey, I thought people hadgiven up making those?...

No More Room In Hell 2 nails the terror of being isolated in a zombie outbreak, although you can just hide on a table if you want

It’s safe up here Ah, what a pickle Ive gotten myself into. Its an absolute gherkin, I tell you. Still, the pipe wont last forever - this is videogame steel, the crumbliest steel there is. Thank godNo More Room In Hell 2doesnt bother with the hunger or rest parts of thesurvivalequation. I can, in theory, stay on this table forever. I bet youre wondering how I got here, smugly trivialising the otherwise excellently tense horror atmosphere....

Twitch gives streamer a reported 14-day ban for saying he's OK with the genocide of Palestinians

Content warning for hate speech in the paragraphs ahead. I don’t give a fuck. They’re terrible people. It’s not even a question. It’s crazy that people don’t see it that way. They’d be doing the same thing. “These people are not your allies,” he went on. “They’re not the same as us. They come from an inferior culture that is horrible. It is that simple. All of this is a clear infringement of Twitch’s ban on hate speech....

I have embraced the subaquatic dread of not knowing which button to press in Full Fathom

That sinking feeling The developer ofFull Fathomdescribes it as a “thalassophobia sim”. Things could not get any worse. And then you see it. Something in the green haze outside. In the most pitchy of elevators it is “horrorSubnautica”. So yes, it is a bit like the wet wandering of Unknown Worlds' survival game. Yet there is something greebly and clunky about the machinery of Full Fathom. All the lights just went out....

Letalis is Pokémon for GameBoy except you're battling with Roman gladiators

My name is Ashimus Ketchumus Palletemus… The allure of the sea-green GameBoy screen is difficult to resist. But you won’t be doing the fighting yourself, God no. Leave that to the squad of Roman gladiators hiding in your back pocket. It’s not exactly like the Pokemon battles of yore, to be fair. Fights involve up to three battlers at a time, feeling a bit more like classic Final Fantasy. And their moves are determined mostly by whatever weapons they’re holding....
