RPS Verdict: Avowed

Nic:James did you work out how to freeze things yet? Otherwise, Im having an okayish time? I feel passionately about those crates. There are two types of crates. you might only smash the crates that have the special ‘smash me’ icon on them. I don’t want a crate to “come hither” me. Takes all the fun out of the petty vandalism. How are you both finding the actual questing? Jeremy:I think I like Avowed the most out of anyone here....

Saros is the next shooter from the Returnal developers, and it wants to be less punishing

It does soundverysimilar to Returnal otherwise, which is no bad thing. It was, dare I say, cosmic horror done right. Saros is aiming to do thingsa little differently. It is actually a little different though. Roguelite meta progression?! Surely no valued RPS commenters will have strong and often insightful opinions onthatuniversally good design feature! It took the original Returnal a couple of years to come to PC. Sony havescooped up Housemarque since then, so whether this complicates matters I’m not sure....

The Borderlands 4 release date gives us a clue about Grand Theft Auto 6's arrival

I’m not a big fan of this long-running looter shooter. But in showing us its release date Take-Two have given us an indication of whenGrand Theft Auto 6willnotrelease. And that’s mildly interesting. So, Borderlands again. Still, there’s a fun bit of obvious deduction to glean here. That’s to be expected, publishers like to space out their games for maximum sales. All of which suggests GTA 6 probably won’t hit the shelves in September....

The Horror At Highrook demo is a dangerously enticing marriage of Darkest Dungeon and Cluedo

The colours alter from daytime greyness through winey shades of sunset into pale lavender moonlight. You cant just sit and stare, however. So move your cards around. Notes hint at secrets in the sealed chapel and deep underground. Tunnels and tears and worrying designs upon the walls. Yes, this is like Darkest Dungeon in many more ways than one. Its also quite a lot like Cluedo, if Cluedo has been written by Poe or Lovecraft....

This excellent LG 27GP850-B UltraGear 27-inch gaming monitor just got a massive 47% reduction at Amazon

Top specs on paper, but does this price drop make it a good option? But lets be real; slapping a discount on something doesnt automatically make it a great deal. So, is this monitor actually worth it? LG 27GP850-B Ultragear Gaming Monitor $199.99 (was $379.99). Delayed Delivery (1-2-months). See here All things considered, the Ultragear has got some solid specs, especially at this price. That said, HDR10 support here is more of a checkbox feature....

Hunt: Showdown developers Crytek lay off around 60 people after shelving Crysis 4

Crytek now say they need to cut back to get to remain financially sustainable. The layoffs affect development teams and shared services. Crytek will offer affected employees severance packages and career assistance services." I could do with a bit more exposition myself. Are they talking about companies expanding too fast, amid optimistic predictions of post-lockdown growth? Betting too much on the success of VR? Rising interest rates and cost of living?...

Sharkmob launch public playtest for Exoborne, their open world shoot-O-mecha-looter

Here’s a trailer’s worth of wiggly whooshes, big bangs and exowotsits to celebrate. They used to be 25p a bag in the 1990s. You are a “Reborn” adventurer in an exosuit with high-jumping and grappling capabilities, plus a parachute. Hah, “shoot the breeze”! I’m not sure about Exoborne so far. The idea of hook-chuting through hurricanes while gunning down robot-shouldered hooligans certainly has its charms. There’s no release date yet - let us know if you have thoughts about the beta....

Subnautica 2 developers warn fans to watch out for a fraudulent playtest

As ever, the best advice is to simply never click any link anyone sends you, ever. I practice this daily and look at me, blissfully unaware of all things. The last we heard of Subnautica 2 was following a trailer released by the studio last year. The sea-quel willhave four player co-opand its early access is set to lastat least a couple of years. It’s due out some time this year....

Tides Of Annihilation brings Devil May Cry's speed and God Of War's scale to post-apocalyptic Arthurian London

I already have some pointers for Eclipse Glow. Love a good flamboyant boss. The press release citesDevil May Cry,Stellar BladeandNierAutomata as comparisons. The thing I like least right now is Gwendolyn’s acting. It’s like somebody left Morphydd Clark’s Galadriel in the fridge. I guess we can’t all be Cate Blanchett. There’s no release date yet.
