Kentucky Route Zero's Postmodern update makes it more readable on the Steam Deck

The update also lets you zoom in on details in the scene, which sounds handy for smaller screens. In 2015, Hannah Nicklin wrote abouthow geography affects game designwhile talking to the games writer, Jake Elliott. More recently, Rebecca Jones (RPS in peace)revisited our 2013 GOTYwith the benefit of hindsight. The game also got a fancy next-gen update on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 last week.

October just got even busier with Ghostrunner 2 slated for the 26th

Of course were getting a slo-mo drift scene, right? Matthew Castle (RPS in peace) had good things to say about the first games acrobatic murder spree. “Youre hacking billboards to orient paths. No, youre surfing drones between rooftops. Actually, youre dodging low hanging signs atop a train. Its never dull.” Hopefully, the sequel keeps up that momentum. Ghostrunner 2 will be available onSteam,GOG, and theEpic Games Storeon October 26th.

Relax everyone, Paralives lets you kill your Parafolk just like The Sims

But I only have one question for both of them: can I kill my Sims? In the case of Paralives, the answer is thankfully a big fat yes. Id send my Sims for a nice swim in the pool before deleting the ladders. Standard stuff that most Simmers have done, I swear, judging byviral TikToksthat come across my feed. RIP to Roger, who kneels in pain like hes just downed an entire fizzy drink....

Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out review: a fascinating story-generator with a wealth of possibilities

These games are about culture and myth, and how both interact and change over time. It’s harder, though, to write about this entry without justrepeatingmyself. It’s about leadership as a test of wisdom, not a calculation of numbers or raw power fantasy. The big problem is that your gods are dead and the world is ending. The soil is barren and the air visibly coloured with poison. It will sound very familiar to those of you who are currently experiencing reality....

Stanisław Lem adaptation The Invincible is out in November

One missing crew is definitely a bad sign, but it’s also fuel for good environmental storytelling. Think of all the footsteps, equipment, and maybe audio diaries left behind. But well mainly be chatting with our boss over a radio, a laFirewatch. For those who have already read Lems rescue mission gone wrong: worry not. Starward Industries' Marek Markuszewskitold RPSthat the game isnt a one-to-one adaptation of the book. Wink wink, hush hush....

This Vampire Survivors-like has catgirls, is brilliant, and costs nothing

How is this free?! I don’t know anything about VTubers, aside from the fact they’re virtual… YouTubers…? I am taken aback by how good it is. Among many other things, Vampire Survivors squeezes so much out of its stages and items. The game is singularly focused: everything’s yours if you carve through those swarms of bats. If Vampire Survivors is largely minimalistic, HoloCure is very much maximalist. On the surface, HoloCure operates in much the same way as last year’s smash hit....

Wayfinder's developers apologise for rough launch as it receives 'mostly negative' reviews on Steam

That didn’t dissuade players, it seems. There is no other way to say it. “Although we had a queue system ready, that system failed immediately.” “We apologize,” they wrote. Wayfinders is a fantasy action-RPG with a dash of Destiny.
