Metal Slug Tactics’ demo is pure nostalgia for better and worse

We’re calling thisWishlisted, in partnership with Eurogamer and VG247. For as long as Ive been excited, Ive also been worried. The official fan wiki describes Marcos appearance as a cross between Sylvester Stallone and David Bowie. These are special tag-team actions you trigger for free by setting up orthogonal flanking postions. For now, though, its just Marco. I can pick between a pistol and a machine gun, but the latter has limited ammo....

PSA: Please leave my horrible silver frog sons alone as you grind for Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree

c’mon, stop this. Youve been told before. I wont stand for it, so I’m using my powers for good. You kids these days dont know how good youve got it, and how do you show your appreciation? How about you just learn Maleketh’s stupid bullshit patterns instead of trying to one-shot everything, eh? How about you grow yourself a heart, you swine. This is not what John Dark Soul died for....

Someone finally beat the hardest racetrack ever made in Trackmania, and it only took them 220 hours to finish

It is 16 floors of unfathomably difficult ramps, tunnels, ledges, pipes, and beams. A simple mistake sees drivers plummeting to the bottom, like the sad cauldron man ofGetting Over It. The first three players to finish would share a prize pool of over $32,000. Over the weekend, one player has now managed it, and another has since joined him. Third place is still up for grabs but, mate, I wouldn’t recommend it....

The Caravan SandWitch demo teases a gorgeous exploration-adventure

Regardless, its dripping with tantalising mystery. Why is a spacefaring species living amid ruins? Questions for another time, or at least another release date. It also helps that Caravan SandWitch is a real looker, rich in colour and detail both. The latter, perhaps more so than you might expect from the debut project of a small indie outfit. Let me keep cooing at your vast dustbowls and foreboding electrical storms,game....

The first 45 minutes of Dragon Age: The Veilguard feel as much like Mass Effect 2 as Inquisition

Beware spoilers for Inquisition and its DLC in the paragraphs ahead. Rook is a custom protagonist, and Dragon Age’s character creator has seen a massive glow-up. This chance to test out your character’s aesthetics is amply justified. While the saturated colours can be a bit cloying, I think the new character designs are gorgeous. Hopefully the same will prove true of the costumes, because Inquisition had some absolutely hideous armour....

How to defeat Thundering Mephis in Wuthering Waves

The Thundering Mephis teleports frequently, though, making it a harder boss to predict. From there, fly down to the northeast until you’ve found the boss. It’s best toavoid having Electro Resonators on your team at allbecause of this. Once you’ve prepared your team, head down to the battlefield to start the fight. The Thundering Mephis teleports around the arena a lot, making it hard to track. It’ll fling lightning that quickly creeps across the battlefield toward you....

I Am Your Beast is a John Wick-ensian FPS from the El Paso, Elsewhere developer

Its from Strange Scaffold, ofEl Paso, ElsewhereandBooked For The Weekfame. The writing is great! Theres an odd poetry to the tutorial. I tree-hop gracefully through the snowy woods, talking about this lovely bird, and its very freeing. Anyway, the bird gets shot. Also, it has great air conditioning. The game feels slick without being polished past the point of novelty. Now, sometimes, that polish would be welcome. I foresee that people are going to get very good at this game....

It won’t fit the Asus ROG Ally X, but Dbrand’s Project Killswitch is a lovely upgrade for the original Ally

A shame, but at least it makes a quality addition to the original Ally right this second. Ive been manhandling one for a week now, and its just as practical and protective as theSteam Deckversion. In some ways, its even better. No zips, clasps, or flapping hardcases to awkwardly re-bag when youre squished on a bus seat. At the same time, there are some visible refinements to the concept. On the Decks Killswitch case, the vent hole is just that: a hole....

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake resurfaces after years of silence to tease a release… in 2026

The Sands of Time remake, you might recall, wasoriginally announced way back in 2020. At the time, Ubisoft said to expect the Sands of Time remake in 2021. Not exactly reassuring news. All that we got otherwise was a year: 2026. So, two years away. Still, an actual release is theoretically better than nothing, right? See you in two years to find out if the long wait has been worth it....
