This point and click detective game has Alan Wake 2 beat on its most important feature

Only instead of shouting, “Objection!” you do it by manually sticking pins and red string between the offending bits of information. It’s delightful, and well worth a nose if old Alan leaves you wanting this weekend. The imagery is perhaps a touch heavy-handed, but it’s an eye-catching narrative gadget all the same. Really, though, I’m mostly here for the lovely twang of those red strings. This is how you do evidence boards properly,Mr....

People waiting for Silksong should try the demo for Worldless, which launches next month

The combat is a different beast, too. So why does Worldless make me think of Team Cherry’s work? Partly it’s the underlying touch ofmetroidvania, a word the press materials seem oddly hesitant to use. The map extends in all directions and you’ll need to acquire new abilities to reach certain areas. You should probably give it a whirl even if you couldn’t care a bean for Hollow Knight. As Katharinereported in July, there’s the makings of something excellent here....

Remedy's latest game, Alan Wake 2, contains their very first

“But just doing a full blown game is a completely different ballgame.” This feels like a missed opportunity, given Remedy’s crazy talk of alltheir games sharing a universe. It’s just as well, then, that you candownload Death Rally for free from Steam- forever. There’s aremakeknocking around, which Nathan Grayson (RPS in peace) found to be not that good. My understanding from conversations with various people is that it’s longer than anticipated, and rather fiddly....

SteamVR 2.0 is out and improves the storefront's UI for headsets

Now it’s virtual reality’s turn, with the launch of SteamVR 2.0. SteamVR 2.0 includes “most of the current features of Steam and Steam Deck”. I therefore welcome these changes. I don’t see fixes listed for any of the several bugs I regularly encounter, sadly. That said, I still don’t find any platform’s Steam interface great. Why has the Steam Curators section been left to be overrun by game key-chasing chancers?...

Still Wakes The Deep gameplay trailer asks which is worst, the monsters or the weather?

Never mind the dreadful moaning on the other side of the pipes - how about that drizzle? “Grey clouds, rain, wind, and no sign of sunlight. “That’s dreich. Unfortunately, Caz, our main character, doesn’t have that luxury. Still Wakes The Deep will release in early 2024, and was one ofour favourite games of not-E3 2023. I wouldn’t say it’s “dreich”, but it’s certainly grim. Beware of the dog.

The Finals open beta is live now with a new map and mode to destroy

Cash grab Destructible money-grabbing multiplayer shooterThe Finalsis now available to play in open beta. There’s also a new mode not previously featured in a beta. Bank-It is a “casual-friendly, combat-focused mode” in which four teams of three fight over coins. I’m imagining a playground scramble, but more deadly. Sometimes you look at a multiplayer shooter and instantly know it’sdoomed. I don’t get that feeling from The Finals. The shooting was pretty good, too, when I played it earlier this year....
