Spectre Divide is a new tactical shooter with one big gimmick: controlling two bodies at once

Is it enough to separate it from Valorant or CS? I… am cautiously optimistic? Press a button and you’ll switch to that clone in an instant. Someone gave you info that there’s an enemy creeping near the bombsite? you could just warp over there and reposition in an instant. This is a big thing! I reckon this will make it a lot easier for folks to get into. More on these timingshereon their site....

The Eternal Life Of Goldman is a gorgeous, nightmare throwback to classic 16-bit platformers

I caught a brief presentation earlier in the week and yeah, this seems promising. On the other, it makes me think of side-scrolling Soulslikes (Scroulslikes?) such asBlasphemousand the frantic worldbuilding of Rick & Morty. You play the Goldman of the title, a tenacious old adventurer with a cane. There’s a sense of winning nastiness to the moving parts. There are also accordion structures of wood and cloth that can be pulled out to create routes....

Titan Quest 2 sure looks like that brighter, breezier action-RPG you Diablo 4 haters were gunning for

THQ Nordic releases first in-game trailer Titan Quest 2! Now there’s a name you might set your watch by. No colons, no bespoke jargon, no tortuous subtitles like “Gaia’s B.O.U.N.T.Y.” Enemies, meanwhile, form a range of factions with their own abilities, tactics and corresponding loot drops. They’ll work together to overwhelm you, encouraging you to experiment with your Masteries. There are bosses, too. Clock that miniature dragon in the footage....

Toonsouls is the Dark Souls of Cuphead, in case you’ve got one of two solid gold games journalism jokes raring to go

Perhaps the animation for the mace is just that much smoother? Either way, Im really impressed for a small project. Also, mate, Im absolutely in love with this Steam description. The gameplay is fun and the player can throw a spear at enemies to kill them. Your mission is to reach the end of each phase to be able to advance to the next phase. Wheres the lie, eh? Do this for every game, c’mon....

World Of Goo 2 review: an inventive return to goo with some flies in the ointment

That pursuit doesn’t always result in pleasing new levels, though. There is a “hit and miss” feeling to things this time around. But things are rarely as straightforward as the likes ofBridge Constructor. Your building materials are googly-eyed weirdoes, and they are not confined to a single species. Or the green velcro-like goos that can be re-used over and over again. Many other goos, however, are new. Before you know it, you’re playing with gravity, golf balls, and genre itself....

Wreckfest 2 announced with trailer abundant in fender-bending and newly rageful drivers

Certainly, nobody wants a guy whose ideas about automobiles come from 2018’sWreckfestto be involved in the school run. Witness the carnage in the announcement trailer below. Ah, you’ve got the option to almost smell the burning rubber. Real cars involve rubber, correct? The trailer is a mixture of live-action shenanigans and in-game footage of horseless carriages despoiling each other. Goodness knows I’d hate to get wrecked while piloting a shabby motor....

I’d love to explore more of Fallout London’s brilliant world, but it keeps crashing every few minutes

A British transport joke! I said to myself, marinating in the sufficient amount of crown-mandated mild amusement. Our organ-floggingly expensive yet vital public servicesarecrap! I was having agoodtime. My upper lip almost quivered, I tell you. I am not alone in this. There’s apatch on the way, and there are already a few supposed fixes. One of which involvesdownloading yet another mod. The other is a apparently a Nvidia issue with the Weapon Debris setting....

Kitsune Tails is a wonderfully queer Super Mario 3-inspired platformer that's out today

It’s a follow up to Super Bernie World Hey, remember that 2017roguelikecalledMidboss? Or that 2020platformercalledSuper Bernie World, where you attempt to transform the US as a retro-fied Bernie Sanders? And it’s out today! In Kitsune Tails, you play as an unnamed kitsune, inspired by Japanese InariOkamideity. Your former mentor turned antagonist kidnaps this young sorceress and traps them inside an elemental prison. Honestly, it looks like a really fun throwback to those GameBoy Super Marios....

Metropolis 1998 is a fetching isometric blend of SimCity and The Sims, with customisable house interiors

Come try the demo According to certain Terran lore, God created the universe in seven days. This is the backwater burg of Edwitherington. Population: 8 - one for every non-residential building in town. Major imports: ornamental lampposts, because I like to cultivate an old-timey mood. They were practically fairytales, glimpsed once in a blue moon. Meanwhile, the eight residents of Edwitherington drift from one hauntingly empty municipal building to the next....

New Planet Coaster 2 deep dive explains how you’ll need to sell your idiot guests sunscreen in case they blame you for the sun existing

Happily, I didnt spot any bear mascots inPlanet Coaster 2s new deep dive trailer. The big ticket (whey!) Youll have the expected expansive toolkit for making your slides. Sounds like a right laugh. Get on that, industry. Frontier say theyve pared back some of the complexity from certain rides, to allow more space for customisation. They look good though! Lastly, the video mentions the need for water filtration in your pools, which get dirtier over time....
