Steam's latest Fest offers discounts on games you can play over and over forever

Infinity on the cheap Video games must be three hours-long or infinite and nothing in between. The latest Steam event is designed to celebnrate the latter. Fests mix the discounts of a Steam sale with demos for upcoming and unreleased games. I wonder if some developers are holding their demos back for next month’s larger Steam Next Fest. Anything else may as well be a job. I’m being facetious, obviously, but only slightly....

The first trailer premieres on YouTube tomorrow A while back Ubisoft revealedabout a billion Assassin’s Creed projects. The first of these to leap into the carefully placed haystack of release wasMirage, which I liked. Up next, it seems, is the artist formally known as Assassin’s Creed: Codename Red.

The Long Dark is getting a Cheat Death system, but don't worry, it's also getting a Misery Mode and cougars

I fell off the game after succumbing to my first wolf. More misery in The Long Dark? Oh thank god, that’s just what this notoriously easygoing wilderness adventure has been missing. Finally, a bit of friction for what has previously been a stroll in the woods. It’s not all misery. It’s not as cheaty as it sounds, however. The Misery Mode is aimed particularly at people who do well in The Long Dark’s Interloper difficulty....

Vampire Therapist is like playing language puzzles against different types of theatre kid

CBT is about noticing unhelpful thought patterns so you might change them, and the behaviour associated with them. It’s not at the forefront of your thinking. I’m sure that some people might think it should be. It’s inclusion in the game at all will put some people off, and that’s understandable. Gotta be some weird relationship dynamics under the surface there, right? you might wishlist Vamprie Therapist onSteamnow, ahead of its release next month....

Who needs a Morrowind remake when you can explore the beautiful nightmare of Dread Delusion?

Praise Paeguth I booted upDread Delusionand fell 30 feet to my death. This throwback first-person RPG is hazardous, and not only due to the dreamlike islands floating in the sky. Far from being a nuisance, meta-jank like this only endears me further to Dread Delusion. It is anRPGfrom the other side of some attic mirror, an Elder Scrolls from a parallel 2002. It has, somehow, slipped into our reality and is seeingits full release today....

How to cure Scarlet Rot in Elden Ring

It can be extremely difficult to deal with the fast-acting Scarlet Rot while you’re fighting. you might obtain the Speckled Hardtear by beating the Wormface boss at the Altus Plateau Minor Erdtree. However, the spell also takes a little bit of the player’s HP with each cast. Not much, but it’s still worth remembering. The Flame, Cleanse Me Incantation is found in the Fire Monk campsite in East Liurnia. TheLaw Of Regressionis a late-game Incantation that immediately cures all status effects (including Scarlet Rot)....

Necrophosis has a demo, if you're after a "we've already got Scorn at home" experience

That’s easy, it’sNecrophosis, baby. Still, visually it’s quite magnificent. Flayed corpses and ribs and towering statues that pray to fleshy sacks. That was one of my gripes with Scorn, in that its puzzling was sometimesveryobtuse.

Rhythm shooter ROBOBEAT is a cyberpunk Metal: Hellsinger, out this week with a demo still available

Something about ROBOBEATs roguelike shooting feels different though. Either way, heres a tray-tray below. Dont hate me, metal men. I simply do not have the energy to experience everyday events as if they were epic battles. My anxiety already makes popping out for bananas feel like getting ready to defend Helms Deep. Also, the beats are a lot clearer, which helps me wrap my clumsy brain around them. ROBOBEAT is out tomorrow, but theres still ademo available on Steamat time of writing....
