Veiled Experts is 3rd person Counter-Strike, and somehow it's utterly fantastic

That was my reaction too. Thank goodness for boredom. And here we are, a month and a bit later. The biggest change by far is the third-person perspective. This was my biggest misgiving with VX at first. Generally third-person is not a great fit for highly tactical, low time-to-kill shooters. Veiled Experts neatly solves this problem in two ways. The first is a very strong focus on awareness of enemy positions....

You can try the Layers Of Fear collection today, thanks to a chilling UE5 demo

The game previously changed its name earlier in the year, dropping the pluralisation of Layers Of Fears. Presumably, it’ll still explore more than one fear, though. Lighthouses arent creepy at all. Troubled writers who isolate themselves and seemingly manifest their horrifying texts are normal, too. Im sure well be just fine. Sounds like a loving swansong for the first-person horror series then. Layers Of Fear will be available to buyon SteamandGOGcome June 15th....

Paranormasight's director says making a visual novel is always "messy work"

Writer and director Takaya Ishiyama explains this was actually the starting point for Paranormasights inception. Another subversive element is Paranormasight letting the player explore 360 degrees around them. The feature also helped give Paranormasight a sense of realism, Ishiyama reckons. But it’s the fourth wall breaking that is arguably Paranormasights most shocking factor. Its an equally fascinating and brain-melting reveal, and one that honestly takes a long time to process....

Raise the undead in Songs Of Conquest's newest necromantic campaign, out today

Not suspicious at all. Our Baron accepts the deal, only to discover that you shouldnt take sweet treats from strangers. An understandably traumatic experience, but it expands a cool faction, so overall a net positive. Ive yet to try Songs Of Conquest, but I hope the above headline image depicts that fateful encounter. Only because the thought of a ghost rat duping a Baron is a funny one. And Id quite like to watch how that goes down....

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor PC patches tested: less stuttering, still slow

There are positive signs here. Good stuff for those with strong enough graphics cards to handle ray tracing in the first place. There are still occasional stutters, but now theyre both less noticeable and fewer in number. Unfortunately, neither of these really make Jedi: Survivors PC performance good, merelyless bad.

Stardew-like Roots Of Pacha removed from Steam after the developer and publisher disagree "over the rights"

The game is a prehistoric take onStardew Valleys crop-growing, dungeon-exploring, people-romancing formula. Crytivo were apparently involved with the project - providing support and guidance - for the last three years. That would essentially nullify the revenue-sharing agreement set out before release.
