New fantasy ARPG Atlas Fallen looks like Diablo meets Monster Hunter

It’s a new fantasy action RPG, with super powers, set in a semi-open world. There is a tiny, teeny smattering of gameplay at the end, though. Big swords, big monsters, big magic, big sand. In another continuing theme from games revealed tonight,Atlas Fallenis out next year. So that’s the Monster Hunter part of my title bid covered, isn’t it? I mean it’s a fantasy ARPG, of course I’m going to mention Diablo....

No, wait, Saints Row is filled with bizarre bugs after all

Also suffering Steam Deck launcher problems I feel a bit deceived bySaints Rowat the moment. Well fine then,game. The game invariably thinks for a moment before quietly closing itself down. Still, consider yourself warned if you were thinking of trying the game on Valves handheld PC. Or just on any PC, I suppose.

Phantom Hellcat is a theatrical hack-and-slasher that switches perspectives

One of the lesser trends from tonight’s Gamescom Opening Night Live was cassette players, for some reason. When is it the MiniDisc’s chance to be retro cool, I ask you? The theatrical framing seeps into each part of the game. Both studio and game were announced this evening during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live. There’s no release date yet.

Play What Remains Of Edith Finch before it leaves Game Pass next week

Do have a go and enjoy being punched square in the heart by grief. Edith Finch is returning to her family home years after they suddenly abandoned it one night. It is a stunning home, with rooms added over years until it rises wonkily into the sky. While the story is grim, the setting pushes hard into whimsical for contrast. A great game for fans of staring at stuff. And the obligatory audiologs and diaries are expanded into something stunning....

Razer’s best gaming mouse now has a wireless Pro version

That’s a pretty tricked-out peripheral, yeah? Which happens to be a Basilisk V3. How much, then, for the complete package? Again, not a review, but… blimey. I’ll be giving both mice a more thorough appraisal as soon as I can.
