Migrating from the Bethesda Launcher to Steam isn't going smoothly for some

When attempting to link accounts, several users say they receivean error that reads, “Account linking failed. hey retry or contact Customer Support for assistance.” I’m torn on the demise of the Bethesda Launcher. Its closure is a direct example of how consolidation -Microsoft bought Bethesda in 2020- leads to less competition. If it doesn’t work as intended, you’ll likely need tofile a support ticket here.

What are we all playing this May Day weekend?

Happy May Day weekend, reader dear! So how nice that we’ll be away on Monday, returning on Tuesday. What are you playing until then? Here’s what we’re clicking on. Those robot dinosaurs have had it too good for too long. That’s not right. Maybe they should push the hills over. But the way to get better at hills is to do more hills, so, hills. The kids usually find some way of making any outing interesting!...

Shotgun King is roguelike chess with a shotgun

And it has a free early version so you could have a go yourself. He decides to leans into this, and sets out delivering the deadliest checkmate across 12 levels. I’ve sometimes avoided great upgrades for myself because the flipside was too strong for white. While I know little about chess, maybe that helps here.

Skull & Bones footage leaked, but it sounds like an official re-reveal isn't far off

The four minute video surfacedvia Redditearlier today. The game has probably changed a lot since. If you didn’t keep them happy, those scurvy lads would mutiny against you. Keep your eyes on the horizon… pic.twitter.com/BWaH9QfYUb Perhaps it’s shipshape now, however. A re-reveal of Skull & Bones during not-E3 this June, then? That would be an easy guess to make.

The making of The Gunk: how the SteamWorld devs went from mist balls to saving the planet

With their latest game,The Gunk, they’ve finally entered the realm of 3D adventure games. “We’d only ever done 2D games in our own in-house tech,” director Ulf Hartelius says. We figured out it was doing way too much, but we liked one aspect of it. “It really triggered that itch for exploration, and everyone just really liked it,” says Hartelius. Realising they’d struck on a good idea here, Hartelius then started asking a lot of questions....

Winkeltje: The Little Shop keeps things simple, but lets my imagination run wild

Its mass hysteria, but what can I say? I make damn good bread. You wont see us preparing potions or crafting clothes, no sir. For that, youll have to go elsewhere. First-person shooters grow stale, and the audience may crave a casual pet simulation on mobile. Its safe to say the world of Game Dev Tycoon often leaves me confused. In fact, it doesnt feel like a world at all....

Humankind’s Vitruvian update adds Leonardo da Vinci for a limited time

The only thing he didnt like was that he wasnt sure exactly what Humankind is. Theres just a lot going on, is the best way I can put it, he explained.
