The Monster Train devs' new roguelike has the snappiest turn-based combat I've seen

I played a build that was early in every sense of the word. And, as you’d expect, you’re met with further decisions! Minus the combat, there’s a familiar rhythm to Inkbound’s runs. But what makes Inkbound’s combat a much quicker affair is its flexibility. Unlike DOS or many otherRPGs you aren’t rooted to the spot before you commit to a move. Instead there’s a slightly more open movement system. What’s the perfect place for the area-of-effect slammo wammo?...

The Witcher 3’s next-gen update is borked, so here’s how to roll it back

To do this, you’ll need to swap over to the Classic branch available in Steam and GOG. OnGOG, head to configs and select Manage Installation. Then choose Configure, and grab the Classic version to roll back to from the beta branches dropdown. OnSteam, go to Properties, then Beta, and grab the same Classic branch from the dropdown menu.

Warhammer 40K: Darktide review: brilliantly grisly co-op

Big up telekinetic space witch Barbara Warhammer 40,000: Darktideis not for the squeamish. Fatsharks spiritual follow-up to Vermintide andVermintide 2is ferocious, violent, and involves a whole lotta gore. Preferably ones with strong stomachs. Nope Im 22 hours in and not even close to abandoning interest in my greasy crew of Imperial screwups. I think it might be because Darktide strikes a finer balance of slicingandshooting? Like theres more of a dynamism to horde fights when youre switching between the two....

Why Hyper Demon's devs suggest you slow down to speed up

Too fast = too furious Devil Daggerswas fantastic,Hyper Demonis better. That structure is also a trap. On a good run, all of that takes me about ten seconds. Matt Bush can do so much more. Its humbling, watching someone who truly knows what theyre doing in Hyper Demon. They appear as psychic orchestra conductors, lining up enemies and gems in patterns that beget optimal destruction. Maybe thats part of why the worlds best players are already surpassing Bushs expectations....

It is time to listen to Christmas Pain In Christmas Town

May this music video bring you cheer too. This is what I crave in Christmas music, musical maximalism and a raw blast of emotions. Look, The Chowder Man isn’t a poet but his feelings are real. No irony: it is a great song. I adore the wall of festive sound, especially that synth melody and the bonus shredding from Dave Pino. And that music video from Hypnospace boss Jay Tholen…!...

Youd need an emptier head than one of Haydens MCU Funko Pops to turn that down. Although, as far as I can tell, it only works for Steam.
