Daemonical flings a group of people onto an island where they must survive until daybreak, but there’s a catch. It also appears to be looking for new players, hence the free weekend on Steam. Things took a bad turn pretty quickly. I got lost pretty quickly. Daemonical’s free weekend runs for the next two days, and it’s also 25% off.

If you’re looking for a way to pass the time this weekend, The Division, Ubisoft’s ultimate game of destroying the village in order to save it, is free to play until Monday. The free weekend actually started yesterday, so you can dive in and make with the shooting anytime you like until 10 am PT/1 pm ET on September 17. You’ll need Uplay to take part, which you can download here. Any progress you make during the free period will carry over to the full game should you opt to pick it up. The freeb

Resonance of Fate didn’t exactly set the world on fire when the JRPG launched on consoles in 2010, despite a brilliant combat system, but it might be getting another chance to show off. A PC and PS4 version recently appeared on Germany’s video game classification body’s website. Everyone’s packed into a dystopian mechanical tower, the planet has frozen over and… no, that’s about all I remember. These allow characters to charge at enemies, doing spins and jumps and all sorts of fancy moves, all w

if you’re looking to build a new gaming PC (or upgrade the foundation on your existing one) and want to go with AMD, you can save a chunk of money on a bundle deal at Newegg. The site is selling an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor and MSI X470 Gaming Pro motherboard for $249.98, plus there’s a $20 mail-in-rebate available, bringing the price down to $229.98. AMD’s Ryzen 5 2600 is a good bang-for-buck option for a gaming PC. The Ryzen 5 2600X is slightly faster at 3.6GHz to 4.2GHz, but this bundle deal

All of which has been overshadowed the the decision to hand the Women in Games Presenter Award to a man in games. His own experience and knowledge is growing as is his support for Women in Games and his desire to challenge inequality in esports.” The hilarity of the BBC article about the women in games awards is just incredible. Banks has been a great addition to all the female esports events & has helped shape it. Other Women in Games Award winners include Lisa “LieseinWonderland!”

ReCore was very disappointing, not just because it looked so good but turned out so bad, but because if you wanted it you had to deal with the persistent unpleasantness of the Windows Store. No longer, however: Today, it and four other previously MS-exclusive games—Super Lucky’s Tale, Disneyland Adventures, Rush: A Disney – Pixar Adventure, and Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection, are all available on Steam. The appearance of these games on Steam is the result of a deal between Microsoft and

After adding CJ from GTA San Andreas to Lordran earlier this week, Dark Souls modder Drop0ff has introduced Link from The Legend of Zelda series—complete with their character model, audio and animations. As outlined on the project’s Nexus Mod page, it replaces the Hard Leather Set “with Link’s getup from Twilight Princess and adds Link’s vocal shouts to player animations”. This means you can play as the Zelda protagonist from the start of Dark Souls: Remastered. I love this:Drop0ff again pays de

With the battle royale’s sequel now officially shelved, developer Xaviant has returned to its predecessor; today it relaunches as The Culling: Origins. If you owned the original, you’ll receive an ‘Original Gangster’ founder pack. Inside you’ll get some outfits, 1000 tokens, weapon skins, two Culling Cards and four Cull Crates. The pack will also be available as DLC that will cost the same as the pre-F2P version of The Culling. The Culling: Origins is due out on Steam today.

The Bard’s Tale 4: Barrows Deep is only a few days away, drawing us back to the constantly endangered Skara Brae after a long hiatus. I mean, I’m 33 and I’m a spring chicken and definitely not covered in grey hairs and full of aching bones. The last proper game was 2004’s spoofy action-RPG, simply titled The Bard’s Tale. Wes took the first few hours for a spin back in July and was particularly smitten with Bard’s Tale 4’s combat. “So far I love this combat system, which will probably be the most

Katamari Damacy is a cult classic for a reason: released in 2004, it’s a puzzle game about rolling a ball around a whimsical world, and gripping all manner of objects onto it. There aren’t many games about sticky balls, and I’d wager that Katamari Damacy is the only game that lets you capture a whole mountain with one. Long a PlayStation 2 game, it’s released in several iterations for other platforms, but now a remastered version of the original is coming to PC. “The King of All Cosmos has knock

What isn’t rubbish, though, is GTA Online’s latest Adversary Mode—Trading Places (Remix). For those unaware, GTA Online introduced its original Trading Places in 2016 as part of its Further Adventures in Finance and Felony update. Trading Places (Remix) plays by the same rules, but throws Juggernauts and super-powered Beasts (GTA Online’s Letterman jacket-wearing Teen Wolf-a-likes) into the mix. I start off my first round of Trading Places (Remix) in the side of the Juggernaut Winners. Despite m

All you need is a little time, though a few safe investments will net you plenty more free V-Bucks in the long run. But put in the time and you’ll earn hundreds of V-Bucks with daily log-ins. Avoiding Free V-Buck ScamsA simple Google or YouTube search will net you dozens of results that claim to get you free V-Bucks, this has become such a widespread problem that Epic has addressed it themselves, advising players to avoid any claim of free V-Bucks. The solution is simple: never trust any link or

Destiny 2’s Forsaken expansion gave each class three new subclass skill trees with which to bother the game’s long-suffering aliens. How to unlock your first subclass treeTo unlock your first subclass, simply play through the campaign in Forsaken. Once you collect 100, you’ll unlock a mission on Io which rewards a Seed of Light that you can use to unlock one of the new subclasses. How to unlock your second subclass treeYou won’t find more Visions of Light after you receive your first Seed of Lig

Blizzard Arena during a regular-season Overwatch League match. Say what you will about Overwatch League, but there’s no denying that the unique stage at the Blizzard Arena provides attendees with one of the best viewing experiences in all of esports. So when the Overwatch World Cup’s US group stage was announced as a Blizzard Arena event, many regular OWL fans expected a similar presentation. Blizzard Arena during the Overwatch World Cup US qualifier. Granted, this was not an Overwatch League ev

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode is Treyarch’s take on the monstrously popular battle royale genre. Players who dislike battle royale games are unlikely to find anything in Black Ops 4 to change their mind. Old and newWhere Treyarch attempts to differentiate its battle royale mode from the others is with the addition of numerous minor elements. For battle royale fans, the changes might not be significant enough to entice them away from the competition, but once the bugs are worked out,

Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord is a gargantuan chimera; it’s a Medieval fantasy sim that bounces between RPG, management and strategy, set within a war-torn sandbox. Here’s everything we know about Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord, including its sieges, large-scale combat, campaign and multiplayer. How Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord’s singleplayer campaign worksThe singleplayer campaign is a Medieval sandbox where you can… well, do what you want. How combat works in Mount and Blade 2: BannerlordBanne

And players are right, Azerite Armor is just really, really bad—but it’s not irredeemable. The problem is that Azerite Armor is a piss-poor replacement for the Artifact Weapons in Legion. To emphasize Azerite Armor, however, Blizzard also removed raid armor set bonuses along with Artifact Weapons. A few clever players found out that the bonuses offered by Azerite Armor traits can stack and, for a time, were specifically building their gear to maximize this potential. The good news is that the Az

In the three years since Kerbal Space Program officially launched on Steam, Daniel ‘ShadowZone’ has spent a cumulative 166 days playing it. If you’ve never played Kerbal Space Program, it’s important to understand how much reverence it has for simulating the natural laws that govern real-world space travel. “There’s this excitement when you try something out that you’ve worked on for a really, really long time,” he says. “Kerbal Space Program reminded me again of my passion for space,” he says,

The Seal the Deal DLC for the very good “collectathon” platformer A Hat in Time went live on Steam today, and if you want it then I’d strongly urge you to grab it right away—because right now, and until roughly 2 pm Eastern on September 14, it is free for the taking. Seal the Deal adds a full new chapter to the game set aboard an Arctic cruise ship, and an “incredibly difficult” new mode called Death Wish.
