Left 4 Dead 3 is a non-priority, according to Counter-Strike 2 files

The files state that the severity is high, the version is 2, but what about the priority? Bad news for fans of the run-and-gunning zombie shooter: according to the files, the priority is none. This isnt the first time there have been rumblings of a thirdLeft 4 Dead. Even still, priority-none doesnt instil much confidence that the project is imminent, or even in development. Or this could all mean nothing - it’s a wait-and-see situation....

Life By You has grand designs on The Sims' life sim throne

But he wasn’t quite sure what. “I was in the kitchen talking to my son about, ‘Oh, what should I do? And as a life-longCrusader Kingsplayer, the answer was clear. “Okay!?” “I can do that, I guess. And he was like, sure, let’s go for it.” “Where players could freely play and tell their stories with minimal friction.” And what was standing in the way of that freedom? Loading screens, says Humble....

Open world murder mystery Shadows Of Doubt enters early access this April

Shadows Of Doubt sounds wildly ambitious. Why does a single-player immersive sim need an early access release, though?

Terra Nil review: a pretty reverse citybuilder that struggles to find its identity

Muddy waters Terra Nilis a puzzle-citybuilder about reclaiming the environment. Getting to that point, though, is an often repetitive experience marred with frustration. The first stage always involves painting that beige box with some vivid verde. You do so using buildings that appear in a row along the bottom of the screen.

The Great War: Western Front review: alternately compelling and exhausting, which is probably deliberate

Tasteless war poem pun I keep alternating between wanting to play more and feeling weary at the prospect. But I still feel a little mixed.
