Strange Antiquities is the first game in a while that treats magical objects like magical objects We do not sell McGuffins in this store Image credit:Iceberg Interactive I need help identifying an Ossic Ring. Whatever an Ossic Ring is, it’s related to a serpent goddess and is great at keeping away vermin. Legend holds that you can hear it hissing. I’m not sure if the Ossic Ring is an actual ring, and if so, whether it’s a ring for your finger or a ring necklace or a ring design found on something unhelpfully nonringular....

Stretcher Men is a comedy game about carrying a dying man across the hills without dropping him But you will drop him Image credit:Chraph A glance at comedy medieval medic sim Stretcher Men might have you believe it is a co-op game about co-ordination and teamwork. Not so! It’s a singleplayer game in which you control not one but both carriers of a stretcher. You have to ferry a sick man over the hilly countryside, past muddy lake banks and over snowy mountains, all without dropping him on the ground....

Surprise! Nuclear Throne has a new update that’s mostly for people that insist on only playing games that can do 60fps Plus some other useful improvements Image credit:Vlambeer I think Nuclear Throne is one of those games that will always be at least just a little bit relevant, in some shape or form. There are other indie games I’d rather play more than it from its era, but it kind of feels like the best representation of that period in indie games too....

Tequila Works, the studio behind Rime and Song Of Nunu, has filed for insolvency Employees expected to continue working for some reason Image credit:Tequila Works Correction: A previous version of this article implied that Tequila Works were the developers of The Sexy Brutale. In fact, it was originally developed by Cavalier Game Studios. Tequila Works are the publishers of the game and are also listed as “co-developers” on Steam. Very sorry for the mistake!...

The Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag remake will release in March 2026, according to the latest whispers Much-rumoured nautical comeback to set sail next year, rumouredly Image credit:Ubisoft If Ubisoft’s rumoured Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag remake were an actual ghost ship, we’d be long past the point of snatching glimpses of the vessel through unnaturally dense fog at two bells during the morning watch. We’d be long past the point of spotting a spectral Jolly Roger between stormy crests, its deathshead wreathed in St....

The creator of Ico and Shadow Of The Colossus is making a giant robot-piloting game Does it feel pain? Image credit:Epic Games / IGN Fumito Ueda is the august visionary behind ICO (small boy rescues small girl from evil castle), Shadow Of The Colossus (grieving boy murders several massive stone animals), The Last Guardian (small boy and huge, dopey dogcat escape from another evil castle). Now, he’s getting into Gundams, though it looks like small boys are still a feature....

The creators of Sifu and Absolver are making a football game, set many decades from now 5v5 on the Holodeck Image credit:Sloclap Sifu and Absolver developers Sloclap have announced Rematch, a 5v5 multiplayer football game with a gentle dusting of science fiction, out in summer 2025. If, like me, you really enjoyed the French developers’ previous martial art sims, you might, like me, find this news deflating. Football? We already have that at home....

The evil ghost lorry in Truckful’s demo nearly ate me and the lady who did a headstand in my bed We survived, in spite of my driving skills Image credit:MythicOwl Drive faster, she screams as a cacophony of meepy noises, it’s coming! I know, headstand lady, I know, comes my response from behind the wheel. We’d be safe if I hadn’t botched one of the switchbacks and gently skidded into a low wall....

The Falconeer gets a new lease of life with a free remaster filled with improvements, fixes, and new bits The bird is always the word Image credit:Tomas Sala The Falconeer turns five years old next week, and ahead of that its developer Tom Sala has put in the work for a pretty big update. Update undersells it a touch I think, because it’s being billed as a full-on remaster, complete with a touched up look, and plenty of mechanical changes....

The First Descendant is stacked with glitzy graphics tech, but performance could still use a polish Getting’ testy with the final preview build Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Nexon I don’t dislike The First Descendant . It has a good grasp of the numbers-go-up-yay appeal behind looter shooters. Sometimes you get to grapple onto a vast robot crab. The first evil alien overlord you fight is named Greg. Not bad, not bad. It’s also, wholeheartedly and unapologetically, a big graphical show-off, complete with multiple ray tracing modes and shinier power armour than if you fed the entire cast of Warframe through an industrial car wash....

The Forge: How to find Bard’s missing guitar Need help tracking down the missing guitar in The Forge? Here’s exactly where to find it. Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun / The Forge Community Looking for Bard’s guitar in The Forge? While exploring the starting area of Stonewake’s Cross, you’ll see a sobbing bard sitting beside a campfire. Turns out this down-on-his-luck fella lost his guitar in the caves. The only issue is that finding it is a bit of a nightmare....

The Gamergator rhetoric of historical accuracy has come back to bite Kingdom Come on the arse Deliverance 2’s gay and Black representation sees Warhorse fending off the demons of 2014 Image credit:Deep Silver Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is billed as a faithful recreation of 15th century Bohemia, with an open world setting derived from primary sources and historical consultancy that seeks to “challenge misconceptions” , but I’m enjoying it partly for the inconsistencies....

The grimy sci-fi in Songs Of Rats feels like Mothership RPG meets Fighting Fantasy Creep at night, stalk at night Image credit:Tesseract Games The first enemy I encounter in the Steam demo for Songs Of Rats is a giant golem, encased in fridge-thick armour with fists the size of fridges and a thousand-fridge stare. If RPG s are good at anything, it’s making numbers scary. To wit: The battle golem has 40 health, and I have a nerf crossbow with pretensions that does one entire damage....

The joy of Cobalt Core’s screen-wide walls of incoming death attacks Or maybe I just have a deep-seated fear of things organised in rows Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Brace Yourself Games There’s a little masochistic streak in me that croons with joy whenever I reach the moment of impending doom in turn-based strategy games . You know the moment I mean. The one where the world fills with enemies patiently bobbing and snarling while you try to conjure up an impossibly perfect set of moves that’ll keep things going for one more turn?...

The Maw - 13th-17th May 2024 This week’s most splendiferous game releases, plus our weekly newsblog Image credit:José Guadalupe Posada / Wikimedia Commons Some fresh astral god trivia from my accidental molar expedition a few weeks back: each of the Maw’s teeth is different. Some form a fractal baleen network of crosshatched layers disappearing backward into the vanishing point; others are shaped like lockpicks, raccoon heads and semi-detached houses. This week’s new game releases are no less motley and misshapen, though thankfully not quite as heavily varnished with plaque: there’s something in the shop for everyone, I think....

The Monster Hunter Wilds PC beta launches this month, with a character editor and co-op multiplayer Two hunts and two monsters to slay Image credit:Capcom The Monster Hunter Wilds open beta will launch next week, Capcom have announced. It’ll be live on Steam from 31st October to 3rd November 2024, allowing the more impatient Capcommandoes amongst us to get a taste of the new setting and combat mechanics ahead of the game’s full release in February next year ....

The simmering emotions of cosy tea-brewing sim Wanderstop have been repressed until next year Steeping a little longer Image credit:Annapurna Interactive The cosy (but maybe not so cosy) tea-brewing adventure Wanderstop has been delayed until next year, say developers Ivy Road. The colourful game about a troubled arena fighter retiring into a life of lapsang souchong and repressed urges to do sudden violence had previously been planned for a release some time in 2024, according to the developer’s original announcement ....

The Steam Families logo is clearly a Rorschach test, so what do you see? Look closer Image credit:Valve Earlier today, Nic covered the full release of Steam Families , a feature which makes it easier for families to share a game library and for parents to manage kids’ purchases and playtime on the digital storefront. It’s a neat improvement over the old system. Unfortunately I can’t think about anything other than the Steam Families logo, which is pictured above and is clearly a shocked, possibly aghast face....
