Chapter 4 of Black Myth: Wukong takes the Destined One out of snowfields and into the Webbed Ridge, an eerie realm replete with some very cool (or disgusting, if you prefer) insect Yaoguai.

Build a tower city all the way to heaven in this spiritual, yet logistics-heavy strategy game Starios in their eyes Image credit:Stargate Games / XD The city- building genre is grossly overpopulated. Competing Simvilles predicated on wholly opposed theories about plumbing and traffic wardens stretch as far as the eye can see. As such, the genre must imitate real-life urban centres of the 20th century, and begin expanding vertically. Enter Stario: Haven Tower , the new strategy management sim from Chinese developers Stargate Games, in which you build upward through the realms of Sand, Mist, Rain, Frost, and Clear Skies until finally, your city stands among the Stars....

The answer is more complicated than you might expect. The game is balanced around three-player squads, and you can play solo if you want a real challenge. Duos are more of an open question. And even if they aren’t a core part of the gameplay loop, are they even possible?...

Cat Quest 3’s pun-soaked animal pirate action-RPG is out on Steam now Co-op cats Image credit:The Gentlebros Did The Gentlebros come up with the pun “Pi-Rats” and then work backwards from there in deciding that Cat Quest 3 should be pirate themed? Or was “Purr-ibean” the initiating pun? I feel that the action-RPG sequel had to begin with one of wordplay or another, given that its Steam page boasts that it also has “furr-ocious spells” and “gla-meow-rous costumes”....

Chill micro citybuilder Pile Up! just emerged from early access, and its devs want you to try fearmongering As well as bunch of new islands and buildings Image credit:Remoob If you’re partial to a bit of sticking a thing on top of another thing, then having little people live in those things while you lord over them as an omnipotent and potentially wrathful god that’s busy listening to yoga class music, pay attention....

Come slide with me through loopy shooter maps in this homage to Counter-Strike’s beloved glitch surfing Minding the Gap Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun / bearlikelion Counter-Strike surfing is a modded game mode for Valve’s bomb defusal FPS in which players skate through obstacle courses by means of a physics glitch. It has a proud history dating back to 2004, when modder Charles “Mariowned” Joyce discovered that it was far more enjoyable to slide off roofs than shoot people in his custom map Killbox....

Dawnfolk is a cheerful pixelart city builder that lets you raise a kingdom in minutes Out now, still has a demo Image credit:Astra Logical Sometimes it’s nice when city- builders look like stratospheric views of actual cities, and sometimes it’s nicer when they look like a collection of animated postage stamps. Behold Dawnfolk - a pixelart fantasy town grower packed full of minigames that describes itself as “charmingly dark and minimalist”, much like a potential hook-up on some highbrow dating service....

Despite Suicide Squad’s fate, Warner Bros. look set to have Gotham Knights devs make a live service game According to a job listing Image credit:Warner Bros Montreal Or, at the very least, its executive producer will need to be someone who knows what live services are and can do some live service strategising. This executive producer listing is looking for a senior dev to “lead the development of a high-quality AAA game based on one of the iconic IPs from the vast Warner Bros....

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have a photo mode at launch, so you can finally take a close-up of the taint …is the taint even in Veilguard?

Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD2D Remake will complete the Erdrick Trilogy when they launch this October Two for the price of one Image credit:Square Enix As someone who’s never played a Dragon Quest game, seeing Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake last year confused me simply because I didn’t know it was a prequel. I generally prefer to play things in release order, but I understand why Square Enix did it that way around, and why they subsequently announced a double remake of the first two games....
