Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption is the debut project from Dark Star Game Studios—a Hong Kong-based outfit whose team is comprised of ex-Ubisoft, Blizzard and Konami devs. Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption now has a launch date: April 25, 2018. Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption is in essence a boss-rush Dark Souls, wherein the protagonist goes up against a host of powerful bosses, dies loads, and then eventually figures out a strategy to succeed. You have two weapons, healing items, bosses that ha

Yesterday, we learned more about PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ much-anticipated desert map—including its name and details of its specific regions. Today, developer PUBG Corp has confirmed the existence of the previously rumoured jet ski and R45 six-shot revolver. As told by Nvidia, the latter is exclusive to the Miramar desert map, replacing Erangel’s R1895. The R45 revolver was among the weapons recently uncovered by dataminers—as was this model for an ‘Aquarail’ jet ski. Now, the game’s offic

Right now, raiding guilds have only released videos of them killing Kin’Garoth , the seventh boss of Antorus. Some lesser raid guilds, like this one , are streaming earlier sections of the raid as they struggle to progress. For example, melee DPS aren’t favored by many of the high-end raid guilds because they have to be too close to the action. Some raid bosses have stumped guilds for days and even weeks while others have taken hours. Some raid bosses have stumped guilds for days and even weeks

But only in World of Warships, which today added the HMAS Vampire, which changed hands from the Royal British Navy to the Royal Australian Navy back in 1933. If you’ve ever been to Sydney, there’s a variety of the Vampire on display at Darling Harbour, didn’t you know. Anyway, the digital World of Warships version was designed using the original ship’s building schematics, and can be obtained by partaking in the Vampire Marathon, a naval mission campaign that launched yesterday and runs until De

In an interview with PC Gamer, Mark Antoon, President of Nutaku, a digital distribution platform for adult games, revealed that they’ve been working with developers Pixel Dash Studios and EQ-Games to produce an adult version of Road Redemption, the motorcycle brawler developed as a spiritual successor to Road Rash. The conversion is part of Nutaku’s 10 million dollar initiative to reach out to smaller studios and fund sexier versions of existing games. “We approached them, we funded them to crea

So let’s see how I can do in that department again, on the eve of Kobolds & Catacombs’ North American release. But the converse is equally true: if your opponent has just used their big board clear, these cards offer incredible reload value for a single card. Spikeridge Steed is already a good card that works well with the Summoner, and several potential 8-cost spells present options as well. Do you think Nourish, Spreading Plague, and Ultimate Infestation were good cards already? Time will tell

If it does, but you remain somewhat hesitant despite our enthusiasm (because let’s be honest, it’s odd), then you’ll be pleased to know that a free demo is now available on Steam. Figment is a “musical action-adventure set in the recesses of the human mind”. Writing for our indie channel, Austin Wood described Figment as more of environmental puzzle game than an action-adventure, saying the action is “tissue-thin”—but he nonetheless very much enjoyed his time with it. “Floating bridges of bricks

MSI is fleshing out its monitor family with three new models that are available in two different screen sizes. They include the 24-inch Optix MAG24C, 27-inch Optix MAG27C, and 27-inch Optix MAG27CQ. All three monitors are optimized to reduce eye strain over longer gaming sessions, MSI says. Two of these monitors are available now on Amazon—the Optix G24C for $235 and the Optix G27C2 for $290. MSI did not say when the Optix G27CQ will be available or how much it will cost.

The act of exploring Hotel Norwood is the act of discovering Peter Norwood, the reclusive genius who produced a series of seminal jazz albums before disappearing from the face of the Earth decades ago. There’s ‘a bit much’, and then there’s Hotel Norwood, a musical theme attraction so over-the-top it puts both Graceland and Dollywood to shame. Every object and note has something to do with to Peter Norwood himself, or the institution that has been erected in his absence. The Norwood Suite is a g

When I got the email about the first teaser for Unavowed, I thought to myself, boy, that sounds awfully familiar. So I looked back a bit, and sure enough, there it was: The March 2016 announcement of a new supernatural adventure game coming from indie publisher Wadjet Eye, about a centuries-old squad of supernaturals that quietly protects humanity from the demonic presence lurking in the shadows. Naturally, the tale begins at a moment of crisis: “New blood is required to protect the mundane worl

Where Stardew Valley asks you to build a farm, Deiland, an upcoming sandbox RPG from developer Chibig, asks you to build a planet. Deiland stars Arco, a 10-year-old boy sent to live on the small planet of Deiland—and not just survive, but thrive by keeping himself and the planet healthy. As Arco, you can build and upgrade structures, craft and improve tools, farm crops, and plenty of other things you’d expect from a game citing Stardew Valley, Final Fantasy and Harvest Moon as key inspirations.

With Bitcoin having broken the $10,000 mark, and currently sitting at $13,400 (and rising), there’s a lot of money at stake. Nicehash says it’s working with authorities, but past Bitcoin thefts haven’t generally ended well (RIP, MtGox and various other sites). And if you used Nicehash, you should also change any passwords that were the same as your Nicehash credentials. What’s the potential silver lining on this ominous cloud? For gamers, miners that used Nicehash probably won’t be investing in

Polygod, a “minimalist rogue-like FPS,” reminds me a lot of Lovely Planet, with two scoops of Heavy Bullets thrown in for good measure—and a lot more bullets flying around. The gameplay is fairly straightforward: Battle as far as you can through randomly generated levels, empower your avatar with various good/bad upgrades, die, and do it again. On the more practical side of the coin, Polygod also supports co-op and versus multiplayer with daily leaderboards. “Polygod has been designed for hardco

It’s a loaded question, of course, though Oculus is providing part of the answer with its Rift Core 2.0 beta, which is now available to the public. The result is Core 2.0,” Oculus explains. For users, Rift Core 2.0 is really a refined VR experience that is partially focused on easier and more intuitive interactions with the Windows desktop. There are three key parts to Rift Core 2.0. Anyone with a Rift headset and Touch controllers can participate in the Rift Core 2.0 beta now.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is a simple, devious game about climbing a mountain using only a sledgehammer (the blunt end) and wearing nothing but a cauldron. Foddy says over 2.7 million people have tried the game since, and a whole lot more have access now that Getting Over It is available on Steam for $8. “You move the hammer with the mouse, and that’s all there is,” the painfully accurate Steam description reads, adding that a “magical reward” awaits hikers who reach the top. I don’t kn

We got our first look at Eater of Worlds, the first Destiny 2 raid lair, in the Curse of Osiris launch trailer that arrived on our doorstep earlier this week. That expansion went live yesterday, and today Bungie announced that the doors to the new Leviathan joint will open on Friday. ‘Eater of Worlds,’ the Raid Lair for ‘Curse of Osiris,’ will open to Fireteams. What we do have right now are galleries of the Eater of Worlds ornamented armor that can be seen at the raid vendor right now. Image 1

As an indie game, Past Cure definitely isn’t trying to be the next Max Payne, but it is born out of some of that pleasantly gritty heritage. That premise also expresses Past Cure’s mix of genres. Past Cure’s combat isn’t highly technical, but there were a couple details I appreciated. Still, as the work of just eight people, Past Cure is an impressive first project. Past Cure will be out February 2 at $30.
