Nah, I’m kidding. We’re gonna blow the crap outta this guy’s mind. Arriving September 10th, Fantastic Fustercluck tosses our loot-shooting heroes into a wonderfully surreal inner world, by way of a lotta tired language regarding mental health. Borderlands gonna Borderlands, I s’pose. Mind how Mad Max: Fury Road had its own culture of hyperviolent chrome-sucking, Valhalla-seeking meatheads? Well, Borderlands 3’s own mask-wearing Psychos have been “driven insane” by a quest for their own “Vaulthalla” - a place that, for whatever reason, can only be found by Psychonauts’ing your way into the brainscape of a particularly brutal Psycho named Krieg, a DLC character from back in Borderlands 1....

The demo contains the opening chapter of the Outriders campaign, which is supposedly about three hours. All four classes are in to try, with multiple character slots to try them on. You can get it on Steam through that there big green bar saying “Download OUTRIDERS Demo”. Outriders is due to launch April 1st on Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as Xboxes, PlayStations, and Stadia. Progress from the demo will carry over to the full game, if you get it on the same platform....

The first look shows Leon headed off into the dark and dingy woods of Europe to rescue the president’s daughter. But he has to contend with spooky dead deer and spooky crumbling architecture and spooky guys with hatchets. You know. Resident Evil stuff. (I have not played Resident Evil.) Forgive the Playstation trailer; the remake is confirmed for PC as well. According to a blog post by Edvin Edsö, a promotion producer at Capcom, “the game is being developed to achieve state-of-the-art quality for a survival horror suitable for 2023, while preserving the essence of the original game....

At the moment, monitor refresh rates top out at 240Hz, but the appropriately named Asus ROG Swift 360Hz will be able to spit out 50% more frames per second than its 240Hz rivals when it arrives later this year. That’s quite a lot of frames if you ask me. You might even say it’s too many. Indeed, RPS Mechanic Alex Wiltshire delved into the subject of just how many frames the human eye can actually see for PC Gamer back in 2017, and research suggests it all becomes much of a muchness once you hit 200Hz, which calls into question just how benefit you’ll actually get from those extra 120 frames....

Originally created by Will Crowther in 1976, and with help from Don Woods in 1977, this new 3D remake of Colossal Cave is being headed by noted gaming pioneer Roberta Williams. Her name will most certainly ring a bell for PC retro game fans, as she and her husband Ken are the founders of Sierra On-Line, the game company behind 1980s retro classics like Phantasmagoria and King’s Quest. With the release of Colossal Cave, the duo are back under a new company name, Cygnus Entertainment....

As a fan of both gutsy cleaning sim Viscera Cleanup Detail and games built upon one silly joke, I leapt at Late Night Mop. I instantly knew it would be simple cleaning (more along the lines of House Flipper than VCD or PowerWash Simulator) and would have spooky noises and startling jumpscares. And yep, that’s it. Walk around, clicking on stains and picking rubbish up to dump in bins, and then spooky things are there....

211 mosquitos, 104 wood ants, 1 long-fingered bat, 1 Italian cave salamander. (Colonel Croesus is an open-to-all game of Combat Mission: Fortress Italy in which Allied forces are orchestrated by commenters while German units are computer controlled. Each daily turn covers one minute of action. For a scenario outline and accounts of earlier turns, click here) Most of the mosquitos were vapourised by detonating Tellermines; grimy hands accounted for about 9....

(Colonel Croesus is an open-to-all game of Combat Mission: Fortress Italy in which Allied forces are orchestrated by commenters while German units are computer controlled. Each daily turn covers one minute of WeGo action. For a scenario outline and accounts of earlier turns, click here) This is the turn when the facade of the storeroom at gg6 was peppered with 9×19mm Parabellum rounds and several blasts of grenade shrapnel, yet the occupants suffered not a scratch....

(Colonel Croesus is an open-to-all game of Combat Mission: Fortress Italy in which Allied forces are orchestrated by commenters while German units are computer controlled. Each daily turn covers one minute of WeGo action. For a scenario outline and accounts of earlier turns, click here) It was Connor’s Tiger tank that 2nd Squad discovered dumped behind the villa. After reluctantly abandoning their kaput Panzer VI, Éamonn and his men flagged down a passing Panzer III, evicting its flabbergasted crew at Schmeisser-point....

Imagine my surprise, then, when I came to preview the latest build of Company Of Heroes 3’s dynamic, Total War-style Italian campaign and seemed to be, you know, actually making some pretty steady progress as I pushed up its mission maps. I was, admittedly, only playing the opening levels of this particular campaign, and I also had the aid of a handy M4A1 Sherman tank providing some welcome backup muscle....

“There are some secrets in The Foundation that we built expressly for the community to find, and we have bets on how fast they’ll find them because they’re really difficult.” This DLC is set in a much higher level area of the game, meaning tougher enemies and bosses to try and get past. Remedy told us players will get the option to choose between some abilities to better tailor your experience to your playstyle to help you get through....

“The goal of Vanguard is to create a game that combines long-term service-based multiplayer experiences with some of Remedy’s unique game features,” they say in the report. We don’t know much more about it other than that, though they also mention it’s being built in a different engine to Control, so make of that what you will. This other unannounced game is a bit more secretive at the moment, but they do say it’s “proceeding well”, so hopefully we’ll hear more about it sometime soon....

Adopt Me founders “NewFissy” and “Bethink” announced the new studio in a public letter today. In the past, they say the group of Adopt Me developers went by several names, including Team Adopt Me and DreamCraft. They’re now simplifying matters under the name Uplift Studios. It’s more than just the convenience of the name, though. Uplift’s founders say that the Adopt Me team has grown to include over 40 members which, yeah, is quite a lot of people to manage....

The Curious Expedition 2 is, at its heart, a machine for making rip-roaring adventure stories about heroic exploration and/or colonial plundering, depending on how generous you want to be to developers Maschinen-Mensch. It creates some fun narratives, like the one above. But it’s also a roguelike, and it really makes you bleed for them. If I’m honest, I wish it was a little more forgiving. It’s 1889 (in the game), and the Paris World’s Fair is about to begin....

“Something terrible happened. Chicory, superstar artist and wielder of the Brush, is missing, and all the color in the land vanished with her,” the creators say. “It’s up to you, Chicory’s number one fan, to pick up the Brush and fill in for her.” Chicory’s new launch trailer here gets into those story bits of searching for Chicory and some of the other animal pals you’ll meet in Picnic Province....

Black Adam was revealed as one of MultiVersus season one’s fighters back in the summer, along with Gremlins’ baddie Stripe. Adam is the fifth new character added to the co-op brawler since season one began on August 15th, following Stripe and fuzzy mogwai Gizmo, and Rick And Morty’s Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith. There haven’t been any announcements on who might join the roster in season two just yet, but an announcer voice pack that leaked in September suggests that Mark Hamill’s Joker might be among MultiVersus’ new fighters in the future....

“The two new levels and their monsters are alternatives to The Courtyard/Toxic Sewers and The Ramparts/Ossuary/Ancient Sewers, with the boss designed to be on par with The Concierge, so hopefully it’ll spice up your early game runs once you’ve played through the core game,” the devs explain. Our Matt played a bit of Bad Seed in December and came away a little too pleased about being chucked at spiky walls by mushroom men....

Your opinion on whether that is a good thing or not will depend on how you feel about the endeavour of remaking games from fifteen years ago in the first place. As far as I’m concerned, this remake allowed me to replay one of my all-time favourite games in a lavish new form, and in that sense, Dead Space is extraordinary. For the uninitiated, Dead Space follows engineer Isaac Clarke who is sent on a routine repair mission to the USG Ishimura....

More than rebuilding or reworking the game, the Director’s Cut mostly adds a load of new stuff. It does have some handy features, like a new route guide which can suggest several different paths of varying difficulties, for folks who want help resisting their urges to march in a straight line towards their objectives, terrain be damned. But mostly it’s newness like a long-range ‘maser’ stungun, a firing range to practice violence, a cargo catapault to launch packages, a booster pack which can slow Sam’s falls, and a racetrack to zoom around....
