Thronefall’s tiny tower defence townbuilding has reached version 1.0 Fight by night Image credit:GrizzlyGames Thronefall is a pleasant, minimalist mashup of tower defence and strategy, in which you build up a base during the day then defend it from monstrous hordes at night. It launched in Early Access in August last year and has been wooing people with its cool colour palette ever since. Now it’s hit 1.0. The 1.0 update adds three new levels, new weapons including a battle axe and blood wand, and some quality-of-life changes, including the ability to peek at future enemy waves so you can plan your defences accordingly....

Toddler horror sim Baby Blues Nightmares lets you doodle your own horror game NPC graffiti Also, you get a tricycle Image credit:Steelkrill Studio I’ll admit it, I downloaded the free prologue for horror game Baby Blues Nightmares mostly because I couldn’t stop giggling at the offer to “utilize the unique abilities of a toddler”, encompassing “stealth gameplay”, “survival elements” and “upgradeable abilities”. It’s as though a toddler were actually an undersung class of special operator from a Tom Clancy shooter, rather than a wailing, hyperactive ball of tears and poop....

Treyarch co-founder pleads guilty to grounding firefighting plane with drone during LA wildfires “We will track down drone operators who violate the law and interfere with the critical work of our first responders,” says Attorney Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Activision The drone was traced back to Akemann, who has agreed to plead guilty to one count of unsafe operation of an unmanned aircraft. That’s a misdemeanour that usually carries up to one year prison time, but he’s “hoping to escape the prison term in exchange for 150 hours of community service in support of wildfire relief and the approximately $65,000 USD it cost to repair the plane,” write Eurogamer, as part of a plea agreement....

Vampire Survivors’ latest update is an ode to its original game engine It adds two new characters, four new weapons Image credit:Poncle Vampire Survivors received yet another update this past week. The Space-54 update adds two new characters, four new weapons, a new relic, and a new bonus stage. It also introduces cross-save support between Steam and Android to the Steam public beta branch. It seems that almost any new addition to Vampire Survivors is a potential spoiler to some, but I will dare to add the additional detail that the Space-54 update is dedicated to the game’s former engine, Phaser....

Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks enters 1.0 next week with a catch for those that didn’t play in early access Time to get your freek on Image credit:Cage Element Inc It’s been a little under a year since the vehicular combat racing game Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks launched into early access, and yesterday developer Caged Element Inc. announced that it’ll be receiving its 1.0 launch next week, May 22nd.

What are we all playing this weekend? Well? Do tell! Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Philip Reinagle Ollie is beset by maladies unknown today, so this is my domain now. I was tempted to recreate a hellish mockery of his fun hidden face game by trapping a crumbling mirror image of his visage, Dorian Gray style, somewhere in the above image. Alas, my version of Photoshop appears to be lacking that function. I suppose I will have to turn to other avenues of entertainment, such as a video game, should any exist....

Here’s the difference between Feathering and other types of magic Image credit:505 Games Wondering what the Feathering stat is in Wuchang Fallen Feathers? Most of the character stats in Wuchang Fallen Feathers are pretty understandable - after all, if you’ve played a handful of RPGs or Soulslikes, you probably know what Agility, Strength, and Vitality mean.

With Stop Killing Games-supported EU petition now closed, the campaign’s loudest voice reckons it’s “done about as well as is humanly possible” “I think we either win on at least one of these or if they all fail, then it’s over” Image credit:Ubisoft The Stop Destroying Videogames citizens’ initiative , the petition asking EU lawmakers to look into the issue of publishers rendering online games unplayable when official support runs its course , hit its deadline at the end of last month looking like it’d amassed more than enough signatures ....

Withering Rooms is a haunted house action-RPG with notes of Bloodborne and American McGee’s Alice Out of early access now - beware the piano-playing ghost Image credit:Perp Games Some new videogame releases pounce on us like excitable Golden Retrievers, while others become apparent to us more insidiously, like undead Golden Retrievers creeping back from the grave to do their master’s bidding unto eternity. Withering Rooms is one of the latter: released out of early access last week, and noticed by me just yesterday, it’s a haunted mansion metroidvania in which you are a small girl in a nightie who must use meat cleavers, pentagrams and spells of self-enlargement or possession or incineration to overcome various monsters of the Silently Hilly and/or Residentially Evil persuasion....
