PCEsoteric Ebb review
When I tell people about Esoteric Ebb, I mostly say that I play an idiot, because there's something deeply comforting about being a waylaid government oaf. Sure, I've pledged allegiance to hierarchy and bureaucracy, but there's always the possibility of doing something naughty or exciting or even something unexpectedly brave. As an unassuming representative of the establishment, I dance on the knife's edge of plausible deniability and weaponised incompetency. Ultimately, though, there's always t
PCSwashbuckling co-op survivor Windrose sets sail into early access next week, which means it's time to battle Blackbeard and a big flower
Yo ho, me hearties. Windrose, the co-op pirate survival game which lured plenty of folks aboard its demo decks in the Steam Next Fest earlier this year, is set to launch into early access next week.

DeviceEpomaker HE68 Lite gaming keyboard review: a properly cheap mechanical board with premium tricks
Maybe it was the past few months of RAMnarök hacking away at my optimism, but my first thoughts upon handling the fifty-buck Epomaker HE68 Lite fixated on how it might not just be cheap in the good way. Surrounded by a bezel of hollow, slightly scratchy plastic, it certainly lacks the reassuringly brick-like heft that most mech boards have over their membraned cousins, to an extent that’s only partially accounted for by its compact 65% form factor.

The CEO of Gunzilla Games, the studio behind NFT-infected battle royale game Off The Grid, has responded to accusations from former employees that Gunzilla failed to pay them on time. He's done so in the form of a lengthy tweet which contains both the words "Haters keep making predictions. We keep delivering" and "We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused". Read more
PCSony Pictures' Metal Gear Solid movie adaptation is resurrected, with the directors of last year's Final Destination: Bloodlines at the helm
Serious talk of a Metal Gear Solid movie adaptation has been a thing for over a decade now, with Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts attached since 2014.

Convince a giant robotic head on a stick it's not human in Prove You're Human, the new game from 1000xResist developer
I wouldn't have thought it would be that hard to convince an AI that it's not human. Just ask 'Would you be stupid enough to create a language where 'Sanction' can mean both to forbid and approve something?'. If an AI would admit to that then the contrarian is welcome to join the human race. I would think it's even easier to convince an AI it's an AI if it is also a giant robotic head on a stick, but Prove You're Human, the new game from 1000xResist developer Sunset Visitor, suggests this might
MobileOver the Hill looks like SnowRunner's cosy off-roading cousin, and its new trailer shows off muddy motoring in Algeria ahead of release later this year
I've really dug Funselektor's minimalistic and relaxed vibe-heavy arcade racers over the past few years. Absolute Drift's brill, Art Of Rally's great, and I also liked retro F1 management sim Golden Lap. Their latest work in collaboration with Strelka Games - due out this year - is off-roader Over the Hill, a SnowRunnery terrain-treverser for people who want more of a driving dreamy sojourn than they do a driving Dark Souls, and they've just shown off a look at its version of Algeria.

MobileCrop is Stardew Valley except you arrive at your farm naked and in the boot of a car
Even the cosiest of cosy games can have melancholy openings. In Stardew Valley, for instance, your elderly grandfather passes away, bequeathing you his rundown farm. In Moonglow Bay, you set about restoring a town after your partner is lost at sea. And in Willowbrooke Post you take over the family mailroom after your parents' sudden, unexplained departure. Still, Crop, the new farming game from 11 Bit Studios and Carbonara Games might take first place, considering you turn up at your new farm st

It's the battle of the Pokémon-likes! Sort of. Developer Crema has unveiled Temtem: Pioneers, a new spin-off for its 2022 creature-collecting adventure Temtem that - based on the limited information revealed so far, at least - looks like it's aiming squarely for Palworld. Read more
PCBuild the city of your dreams, and your graphics card's nightmares, in hyper-shiny mayoral sim City Masterplan
Newly formed dev outfit 1:1 Studio have announced their first game, a glossy citybuilder that, appropriately, promises "true 1:1 scale" construction across enormous 24x24km maps. City Masterplan doesn’t have a release date, but it does have a Steam page that’s full of feelgood marketing bumf like "Say goodbye to rigid grid constraints" and sensual whispers of "realistic traffic simulation." Less titillating than all this talk of logistic networks and architectural asset libraries are
