Герой должен пойти по следу своего предшественника, чтобы узнать подробности его гибели и раскрыть великую тайну мироздания.

Разработчики обещают представить обширный мир с взаимосвязанными локациями для исследования, сложные битвы с боссами, головоломки, платформинг, а также разнообразный арсенал оружия и способностей.

На сей раз в игру добавили нового персонажа, коим стал советский шпион по кличке Ворон, доступный для тестирования в Hero Labs.

Неустанно преследуя свою цель, оперативник, известный как Ворон, прочесал Землю в поисках странных артефактов, апокрифических писаний и мудрости загробной жизни.

Теперь в Нью-Йорке Ворон пытается найти способ вселить дух Екатерины в смертную оболочку.

Кроме того, в арсенале Ворона имеется оглушающая граната, которая замедляет противников и увеличивает входящий по ним урон со спины на 70 %.

Если смотреть на Ворона слишком долго, то на бойца будет наложено проклятие.

Например, в разрешении 1440p видеокарта RTX 3080 с 10 Гб на борту не в силах кэшировать текстуры ультра качества без значительного ухудшения производительности.

Разрешение 2160p/4K 8 Гб видеопамяти — не работает.

Есть проблемы и с качеством теней, но грядущая опция с полным рейтрейсингом должна исправить ситуацию.

В Indiana Jones and the Great Circle есть динамическое разрешение, но по какой-то причине оно работает только с TAA, но не с DLSS.

Есть жалобы и на кат-сцены — анимация в них порой отрисовывается в 30 fps.

Процесс исцеления довольно неприятный и мучительный, и я хочу узнать, как это сделать.

Как пишет Reuters, в настоящее время акционеры Ubisoft Entertainment обсуждают, как можно было бы всё организовать, чтобы сохранить при этом контроль семьи Гиймо (Guillemot), основавшей студию.

Семейство Гиймо , являющееся крупнейшим акционером компании, уже несколько недель ведёт разговоры с Tencent и другими инвесторами о выкупе французской компании.

Тем временем в Tencent, которая владеет второй по величине долей акций Ubisoft, пока не решили, участвовать ли в авантюре, чтобы нарастить процент акций.

Тот же источник добавил, что китайский гигант хочет иметь больше влияния на будущие решения совета директоров, но семья Гиймо не горит желанием это допускать.

Deck Nine Games, создавшая в том числе Life is Strange: True Colors и недавнюю Life is Strange: Double Exposure, снова в кризисе.

Сокращения в студии проходят уже второй раз за год.

По словам руководителя, влияние в том числе оказали «тяжёлые времена, которые коснулись многих компаний в индустрии».

За 2024 год более 14 600 человек потеряли работу в игровой индустрии, а по некоторым подсчётам цифра превышает уже 16 000 человек.

Ранее стало известно, что Ubisoft уволит около 300 специалистов в связи с закрытием шутера XDefiant и самой студии, ответственной за него.

До премьеры амбициозной антологии Secret Level осталось всего несколько дней, но журналисты уже успели поделиться своими впечатлениями.

По мнению журналистов, антология больше похожа не на самостоятельное произведение, а на сборник рекламных трейлеров с Е3, где преобладает бездумный экшен.

Если Secret Level и не является очевидной маркетинговой уловкой, то проект всё равно передаёт ощущения как при просмотре одного видеоигрового трейлера за другим.

Booked For The Week is our weekly chat with industry folk about the books they love, have loved, and are hoping to love in the future.

Everyone knows about ‘hardback’ and ‘softback’ books, but have you heard of the quickly discontinued ‘rice puddingback’?

This week, it’s Charlene Putney, who’s been writing for games for over ten years, including bits for Divinity: Original Sin 2, Baldur's Gate 3, NUTS, and Saltsea Chronicles!

I’m also re-reading fragments of Too Loud A Solitude by Bohumil Hrabal for an upcoming book club I’m leading on it.

I would love to design the narrative backend for all of the memory loss and loops in there.

Ballionaire, the physics roguelike in which you build pachinko boards, drops on December 10th Ballionaire, the physics roguelike in which you build pachinko boards, drops on December 10th

There's no perfect time to release a video game, but if I were deciding when to release one, do you know when I'd do it?

"Pachinko-inspired" might conjure certain images, and recent pachinko roguelike Peglin among them.

Ballionaire takes a different tact, with no traditional goblin-based combat staredown at the top of the screen.

Instead, players are charged with designing the pachinko bored itself, placing different kinds of pegs in advance of their ball's descent.

There's then a roguelike wrapper around this bally good time: it's run-based, there are many different boards to encounter, there are between-board upgrades, and so on.

I had a few merry evenings playing Escape Simulator back in 2022.

Of the co-op escape room games I've played, it was the best, both in terms of its relatively neutral framing (with little heavyhanded storytelling) and its pretty solid puzzle design.

Escape Simulator 2 will explore "darker escape room themes", looks visually more detailed, and comes with a new editor for those who wish to design their own escape rooms.

"We were inspired to explore darker escape room themes and experiment with new gameplay and puzzle ideas.

The original Escape Simulator came with a toolkit with which community members made many, many escape rooms of their own.

Late or not, I can't let it pass unremarked upon: Caves Of Qud, the vast, weird roguelike which has been in development for 17 years, hit version 1.0.

Caves Of Qud has a complex, reactive, detailed world, but it's worth stating that it was never as obtuse in its menus or controls as its peer.

After 17 years of work, they're going to take a break, they say.

We haven't had a proper appraisal of Caves Of Qud since Marsh skated across its mutant pond upon its arrival in Steam Early Access nine years ago.

Now that Brendy is done with Indy's tombs, he's going to turn his attention to Qud's caves for a review before the end of the year.

Both (the best Final Fantasy game) Final Fantasy 8’s Squall and The Witcher 3’s Geralt simply cannot get enough of leaving their friends and the entire world in mortal peril while they sneak in a quick round of cards, and I love them for it.

Now, Hatchette Board Games is putting out a full physical edition of Gwent next year.

A good Gwent deck consists of only about 25 cards.

Then there was the rather good Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, which wove Gwent into a single-player story.

In other Witchly news, The Witcher 4 has entered "the most intensive phase of development".

Where were you during the Summer of Doronko Wanko?

Why, I remember it like it was March, and not actually Summer, when the delightful free game about a mucky pomeranian was unleashed into the world.

Roughly translating to ‘covered in mud doggy’, the game set you the task of racking up tangible financial damage to your owner’s house by getting mud everywhere - first by normal dog means, and then with giant mud cannons.

It isn’t arriving until next Spring, but it’s bringing three new mystery dog breeds with it when it does.

Although I’m sure one of you bastards will find a way to ruin it for me.

Mandatory ray tracing makes Indiana Jones and the Great Circle pretty yet brutal, like Indy himself
Mandatory ray tracing makes Indiana Jones and the Great Circle pretty yet brutal, like Indy himself Mandatory ray tracing makes Indiana Jones and the Great Circle pretty yet brutal, like Indy himself

And yet here we are, with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle loving its ray tracing so much that the effects can’t ever be fully switched off.

The Great Circle is, as far as I know, the first to make hardware-based ray tracing mandatory, hence the prevalence of GeForce RTX and newer AMD cards in its system requirements.

In English, that roughly translates into “No ray tracing hardware?

Sometimes, it works fabulously: on the RTX 4090, for instance, it boosted that 69fps average on Supreme settings right up to 133fps.

It's also worth noting that this isn’t even The Great Circle’s final form – it’s set to add "full ray tracing", AKA path tracing, in an update on December 9th.

Total Chaos is a grimy horror FPS from the Turbo Overkill devs Total Chaos is a grimy horror FPS from the Turbo Overkill devs

I think It’s safe to say that Trigger Happy Interactive’s upcoming survival horror Total Chaos is a bit of a palette change from their last offering - the frenetic, neon-drenched, chainsaw-legged Turbo Overkill.

Still, it’s not often we see psychological horror combined with ultraviolence, and anything that gives off even a whiff of Condemned: Criminal Origins has my attention.

Crafting for Survival: Build and upgrade weapons using scavenged materials to stand a chance against the relentless terrors stalking you.

Total Chaos is “Coming soon”.

I’d say “not soon enough!” but I don’t know how soon they mean, so that’d be like, possibly a lie.

Arrowhead just added new enemies, like the Impaler!

In past patches, seeing new threats emerge organically on the battlefield was a thrill.

Helldivers 2 is also in a somewhat unique situation; since propaganda from our in-game superiors is such a core part of the setting, it makes sense to have the game actively gaslight players about new enemies and updates.

As Helldivers 2 continues, I hope Arrowhead doesn’t shift to sharing upcoming surprises in blog posts and promotional materials.

I want to be absolutely shocked as these new enemies show up and turn my poor Helldiver into chunky salsa; it keeps things fresh.

The developers of Stalker 2, GSC Game World, released a massive 35-minute video to YouTube on Monday teasing the upcoming sequel of their beloved open-world shooter franchise.

In it, the Ukrainian team described how they leaned heavily into the authenticity of the experience.

That authenticity applies to the game’s real-world setting around the Chornobyl nuclear power plant.

STALKER 2 was originally expected on Sept. 5, but was delayed to Nov. 20.

The final game will be available on PC and Xbox Series X, where it will be included as part of the Xbox Game Pass program and available to all subscribers the day of its release.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is the second video game to win the newly created category at the annual Hugo Awards.

The organization attempted to create an award for Best Interactive Video Game in 2006 but didn’t receive enough nominations.

That makes Baldur’s Gate 3 only the second game to win the award.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has already won the Game of the Year Award at five major video game award ceremonies: the Golden Joystick Awards, The Game Awards, the D.I.C.E.

Netflix wanted to be in on the One Piece business — so much so that not only are they just doing live-action One Piece (with season 2 currently in production), they’re also working with Wit Studio to remake the One Piece anime.

The One Piece, said forthcoming anime that was first announced in December last year, would be running concurrently with the still airing One Piece anime.

One Piece now means something different than One Piece then, and a new anime could add a bit of polish to those first chapters.

The creative team at Wit wants very badly to get everything just right, as the new behind-the-scenes look at The One Piece above shows.

So how exactly do they capture what “One Piece” real…

The original Deus Ex its sequel Deus Ex 2: Invisible War remain some of the most influential titles in gaming, using the first person shooter genre as a canvas and painting over it an intriguing world of conspiracies and larger questions about what it means for technology to become an extension of humanity.

Those core tenets continued in the more modern sequels, 2011’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution and 2013’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

All four games are excellent in their own right, and all are on sale for over 80% off each.

You can pick up the whole series and DLC for less than $20 total.

The best horror to watch on Netflix this August
The best horror to watch on Netflix this August The best horror to watch on Netflix this August

And there’s no better way to get ready than by throwing on a few horror movies just as the sun starts setting a little earlier.

Every month we pick out a few of the best horror movies that Netflix currently has to offer.

It’s also one of the most violent, creepiest, and most disturbing horror movies of the last decade, which certainly makes it worth a look.

All of this makes The Wailing a staggering, ridiculously ambitious horror movie, and unlike just about any other movie ever made.

Cave diving is dangerous enough under the best circumstances, but as you might expect, this particular group of caves is absolutely full of very scary sharks.

Almost 20 years in, World of Warcraft is the freshest it’s been in years — and it’s thanks to WoW Classic Almost 20 years in, World of Warcraft is the freshest it’s been in years — and it’s thanks to WoW Classic

And there can be no doubt about the source of the creative energy and good vibes: World of Warcraft Classic.

This was quickly masked the following year when World of Warcraft Classic drove a huge spike in popularity which was sustained by the pandemic gaming boom in 2020.

When he was speaking in March 2024, World of Warcraft subscriber numbers were higher than they had been at Dragonflight’s launch, and climbing.

But it was Classic updates, starting in August 2023, that prompted Hight’s graph to start trending upward.

There are currently no less than five ways to play WoW Classic: the original game, the Cataclysm expansion, Season of Discovery, and two Hardcore variants.

Krafton, the publisher behind PUBG: Battlegrounds and The Callisto Protocol, has acquired Tango Gameworks, the studio responsible for The Evil Within games and Hi-Fi Rush.

Tango was shuttered by Microsoft and ZeniMax Media in May, but the talent who formed the Tokyo-based studio will be integrated into Krafton, which now owns the rights to Hi-Fi Rush.

Hi-Fi Rush is available on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.

Tango Gameworks became part of Xbox’s stable of studios when ZeniMax was acquired by Microsoft in 2021.

The studio found great critical success with Hi-Fi Rush in 2023.

Polygon: Was there a game soundtrack or song that inspired you to pursue creating game music?

In “Interrogation” [from Lorelei], I used the theme from “Woman on the Other Side”, another song from Lorelei and the Laser Eyes.

It was also inspired partly by Angelo Badalamenti’s walking baselines and slow jazzy drums in “Audrey’s Dance” from Twin Peaks.

Few things are better than settling down with a good book, but sometimes the settling is easier said than done.

For all those times, there’s no better place to turn than audiobooks.

All these options making picking your next audiobook a bit of a chore, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

The dramatized audiobooks for A Court of Thorns and Roses are probably the most popular option — they’re cast with different voice actors for each character, and the audio-engineered foley sounds help you envision the scenes as they happen.

It’s a delicious listen even if you don’t have the right setting, of course.

Yuka Kitamura: Having spent my childhood and growing up with video games in the 1990s and 2000s, there are many masterpieces that have influenced me.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players have hit out at "AI slop" they believe has been used within the game and its promotional materials.

They are feeding us slop because they want to pay their millionaire executives a little bit more.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Free Trial starts next Friday, 13th December, on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.

"For a series built on high-octane thrills and explosive gratification, its withdrawal to the well-trodden formula echoes the wider industry's continued allergy to risk," Chris Tapsell wrote in Eurogamer's Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 review.

Hunter x Hunter's first full-fledged fighting game is set to release in 2025, featuring 3v3 Nen ability team battles.

By now, the history of Crash Bandicoot - and the bejorted platformer's fabled importance to the PlayStation - has been pretty well documented.

And that legacy is a very strange contradiction: a lot of people love Crash Bandicoot, and a lot of people also think it's not very good.

Good news, Pokémon fans - Pokémon TV is back.

Pokémon TV, the app and website that let you watch episodes from the long-running Pokémon anime for free, was removed from app stores earlier this year, but now it's returned, albeit in a new home on YouTube and with a truncated library.

"Welcome to the official Pokémon TV YouTube channel, where you can explore the world of Pokémon with Ash & Pikachu!"

Now, however, it looks as though Pokémon has found a new home where fans can once again follow Ash for free.

In related Pokémon news, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket is thought to have raked in over $200m during its first month of launch.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle PC: impressive performance - but care is needed with 8GB graphics cards Indiana Jones and the Great Circle PC: impressive performance - but care is needed with 8GB graphics cards

On first boot, the PC version of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle presents as a simply great PC release.

Shadows are closest to the medium setting, which reduces the amount of geometry added to the shadow maps, so entire objects lose shadows, particularly indoors.

Users with 8GB or 10GB cards may run into issues with the texture cache setting.

So, for example, at 1440p, a 10GB RTX 3080 can't use the ultra texture cache option without massively degraded performance.

Check out the video as I go into depth on how the cache works - for much of the time, even the lowest texture cache setting can still look fine.

As with most other Fortnite shooter modes, Ballistic will host both Ranked and Unranked modes, with the former offering a ladder to climb and penalities if you leave matches.

Assassin’s Creed ShadowsКак пишет Reuters, основавшая Ubisoft семья Гиймо «ясно дала понять», что хочет сохранить за собой контроль над компанией.

Сейчас Tencent принадлежит чуть менее 10% акций Ubisoft, что делает его вторым по величине акционером компании после семьи Гиймо — та владеет 15% акций.

Также утверждается, что Tencent хочет предотвратить враждебное поглощение Ubisoft другими инвесторами.

Tencent и семья Гиймо отказались комментировать Reuters информацию источников.

Apple is facing a class action lawsuit from UK developers alleging that the App Store's 30% fee is anti-competitive.

The claim alleged that Apple's 30% cut creates an "anti-competitive tax on the nation's tech industry," the publication said.

The claim is led by UK competition policy professor Sean Ennis.

There is no word yet on whether the streaming version of Joker: Folie à Deux will come with any extra content, like behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, or a Director’s Cut that can make better sense of this confusingly bad film.

On the bright side for this movie, there are a few examples of films gaining new life in streaming.

But, chances are, it’ll be background noise for those who need to keep the TV on to go to bed.

Silo Season 2's Most Shocking Death Is Going To Change The Show
Silo Season 2's Most Shocking Death Is Going To Change The Show Silo Season 2's Most Shocking Death Is Going To Change The Show

The second season of Apple TV+’s hit sci-fi series Silo has been inching toward a rebellion, and the latest episode featured a shocking death that will set up the biggest conflict the series has ever seen.

We saw how a rebellion erupted in a separate Silo—Silo 17—resulting in people defiantly venturing to the outside world only to be killed by the noxious air.

Since then, we’ve seen Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) walk through what could be the future for Silo 18, the Silo she left: dead bodies strewn outside, “Lies” scrawled across the monitor the Silo people use to see the outside world, and darkness.

The 10 Worst Games Of 2024 According To Metacritic The 10 Worst Games Of 2024 According To Metacritic

2024 was a year filled with good games, especially if you looked beyond the biggest AAA releases and played some of the amazing indie titles and smaller games we got over the last 12 months.

The best games are only great if we can compare them to mediocre or awful games.

So let’s take a look at some of the worst-reviewed games of 2024.

But before we do that it’s worth repeating: Liking a “bad” game isn’t a bad thing.

Now, as we’ve done before, here are the 10 worst-rated games on Metacritic with at least seven reviews.

The latest target is Avowed, but in picking on it, those running the grift have rather shown their hand.

But with Avowed, the forthcoming Obsidian role-playing game set in the world of Pillars of Eternity, the con is so brazenly laid bare.

And in doing so, they made incredibly clear what it is that’s really at the bottom of all of this: bigotry.

There’s no white man.

But they’re going after it too, because, more than anything else, it hasn’t made any special effort to center a straight, white man in its marketing.

The arrival of the Snapdragon X Elite means that every Windows notebook featuring Qualcomm’s latest and greatest silicon for portable computers is now a worthy MacBook competitor, including the smaller 13.8-inch Surface Laptop.

Bear in mind that not everyone will get used to macOS, meaning that for them, a premium alternative is the Surface Laptop.

The 13-inch supports touchscreen inputs, with the entire chassis made using the most premium of materials.

Thankfully, with the Snapdragon X Elite, that problem has been addressed because the Surface Laptop boasts up to a 20-hour runtime on a single charge.

This is all made possible thanks to the Neural Processing Unit of the Snapdragon X Elite.

Apple’s Stalling Vision Pro Sales Prompt Partnership With Sony To Add PlayStation VR2 Controller Support
Apple’s Stalling Vision Pro Sales Prompt Partnership With Sony To Add PlayStation VR2 Controller Support Apple’s Stalling Vision Pro Sales Prompt Partnership With Sony To Add PlayStation VR2 Controller Support

A new report claims that the company is expanding the Vision Pro headset use case by potentially partnering with Sony for its VR Gaming Controller support.

The partnership has been in the works for several months now, and Sony's VR controllers will be available to users as optional accessories.

The PlayStation and Xbox controllers lack the 6DOF or the six degrees of freedom required for precise VR gaming controls.

Sony would have to make some changes to its product distribution strategy if it goes ahead with Apple's plans, requiring it to offer the PlayStation VR2 controller separately, as it is currently bundled with the company's headset.

Apple is aiming to expand its market for the Visio…

Apple Vision Pro Has Recorded Less Than 500,000 Units In Sales Since Its February Launch, With Internal Data Revealing Reduced Usage Amongst Buyers Who Kept The Headset
Apple Vision Pro Has Recorded Less Than 500,000 Units In Sales Since Its February Launch, With Internal Data Revealing Reduced Usage Amongst Buyers Who Kept The Headset Apple Vision Pro Has Recorded Less Than 500,000 Units In Sales Since Its February Launch, With Internal Data Revealing Reduced Usage Amongst Buyers Who Kept The Headset

A multitude of reasons exist for why the Apple Vision Pro did not reach the heights that it was intended to, given that it is a technological marvel compared to its competitors.

Even those who forked over $3,499 for the Apple Vision Pro ended up returning it, which altered the total sales figure.

“Since the Vision Pro went on sale in February, I’m told that the company has sold fewer than half a million units.

And a large number of Vision Pro buyers (those who haven’t returned it) aren’t using the product as much as Apple anticipated, according to internal data gathered by the company.

Hopefully, when there is a comprehensive app library, not to mention additional productivity-focused and m…

Samsung currently has two versions of the 990 PRO PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD that are available with 4TB of capacity; one that ships with a heatsink and one without.

That is right, with a 40 percent discount, the 990 PRO with the passive cooler is now listed for $289.99, making it one of the lowest prices that we have seen.

Sure, Amazon has removed Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts that made the 4TB SSD even more affordable at $269.99, but even you would agree that the difference is negligible.

According to the company, the 990 PRO can also deliver up to 55 percent improvement in random read and write performance compared to the 980 PRO, making it the fastest drive from the company.

China To Counter “Trump Tariffs” By Preferring “Made-In-China” Goods For Official Use, Combating The Influence Of US Products China To Counter “Trump Tariffs” By Preferring “Made-In-China” Goods For Official Use, Combating The Influence Of US Products

China is expected to combat "Trump tariffs" by lowering the price evaluation of domestically manufactured products and reducing the influence of US items on home soil.

First, the product must be produced in China, which means transformation of attributes from raw materials to components and products within the Chinese territory, excluding labeling and simple packaging.

Second, the production cost of components manufactured within the Chinese territory for a product must reach a certain level, which will be dynamically adjusted according to specific products.

Third, on the basis of the first two requirements, for specific products, key components and key production processes should be comple…

An annual defense bill is said to receive a vote from the U.S. House of Representatives and will include a budget of $3 billion that will allow telecom companies to replace the existing hardware made by companies like Huawei, ZTE, and others.

According to Reuters, another step that the U.S government is taking is ensuring that no security risk exists when using telecom equipment mass produced by the aforementioned companies.

The Federal Communications Commission has previously said that purging equipment from overseas sources will require a budget of $4.98 billion.

ASRock has demonstrated over 10,000 MT/s DDR5 memory speeds on its Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard using standard air cooling in an ambient room.

ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF keeps breaking records and is probably the first motherboard to push dual DDR5 memory sticks over 10,000 MT/s without the need for high-end coolingThe Z890 Taichi OCF might surpass ASRock's expectations at this point.

While this record has already been broken with a G.Skill module by Splave, who overclocked it to 12666 MT/s, ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF has just now secured another record.

The new ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard can stably run DDR5-10133 at room temperature, which is really insane.

Witcher 3 modders datamine a quest where Geralt would have teleported to Night City from Cyberpunk 2077: 'Technologically advanced, but broken. Dying.'

It's this bracing, exciting, and surprising bit of high-concept sci-fi in The Witcher 3 that I just really dig.

The first jaunt, though, would send them to Night City, with Geralt and Avallac'h exchanging the following dialogue:Geralt: "What... What is this place?

The What Lies Unseen team also stated that CD Projekt Red developers have talked publicly about wanting to implement a scene like this.

At this stage of The Witcher 3's development (circa 2012), CDPR had not even put out that legendary/infamous first pre-rendered trailer announcing Cyberpunk 2077.

There was a lot more travel back and forth between Velen, Skellige, and Novigrad, and plotlines and characters that were more contained in the final game would extend across multiple acts.

Your choice between Yennefer or Triss would mean that the other sorceress would be absent from the final third of the game.

There was a multipart heist quest in Novigrad that required allies like the Kaer Morhen siege.

The game didn't have Gwent, and instead saw the return of arm wrestling and dice poker from TW1 and 2.

"Included with this development kit was a string database, containing almost every single line of text that was written between the earliest and latest point in Witcher 3's development.

Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop is a spaceship repair roguelite with excellent animation and a naughty sense of humor Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop is a spaceship repair roguelite with excellent animation and a naughty sense of humor

Okay, fine, this isn't a hardcore spaceship repair simulator but it is a pretty funny one, and it just released this week.

Boasting a funky sense of humor, a host of goofy minigames, and a big manual to read when fixing ships, Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop is something pretty much entirely unlike other games I've played—and for that I commend it.

That's not to say that Uncle Chop's is inflexible.

PC Gamer features producer Mollie Taylor enjoyed Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop quite a lot in a preview of the game, even if it apparently reminded her how fundamentally bad she is at reading directions.

You can find Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop on publisher Kasedo Games' website, and for sale on Epic and Steam …

"I think almost every, if not every, quest in the game has more than one way to start it," Ritger explained.

One option seems to exist just to give you an existential crisis: Sort By Hours Played.

My runners-up are DayZ (370 hours), No Man's Sky (266 hours), Skyrim (239 hours, though add another 40 for Special Edition), Elite Dangerous (226), and Plants Vs. Zombies (216).

My most-played game is actually The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, but I didn't play it on Steam, I played it on the disc games used to come on.

Balatro is a more feelgood inclusion—a real testament to the hooks it got into me this year that it's already my eighth most-played Steam game ever.

The mammoth capstone to nearly 20 years of the Lego Star Wars series has a sprawling campaign that covers nine movies' worth of story.

If that's not your speed, well, there's always Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop, which is also free from Epic this week.

I can already imagine a parent parking their kid in front of the TV with Lego Star Wars while they sit back and brew a fresh, hot cup of tea to play Bus Simulator 21.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga earned a 77% PC Gamer review back in 2022.

Deck Nine took over stewardship of the Life is Strange series from Don't Nod, producing the Before the Storm prequel game, 2022's remastered collection, and the follow-ups True Colors and Double Expo…

Two months on and it appears that the negotiations are still ongoing, with Ubisoft and Tencent apparently engaged in talks about buyout terms.

Reuters reports that the talks are still ongoing, with no decision having been reached at the time of writing.

Earlier this week, Ubisoft reported another wave of layoffs, with hundreds of staff members reportedly affected.
