Changing Tides will introduce a new protagonist on a new adventure in new parts of the old Far setting. Toe is their name, and they’ve woken up in a flooded world they’ll need to cross with a weird ship, scavenging for supplies and fixing things along the way. And also a whole lot of, y’know, just drinking in this big mood. Yes, absolutely I’m up for more of these vibes, especially because the sequel enters my native element....

Made by Crate Entertainment, the studio behind the action-RPG Grim Dawn, Farthest Frontier launched into early access on August 9th. You know the story: striking out on your own with a wagon and a handful of settlers, you found a new town with a handful of shacks on the wild frontier then set about taming it with hunters, foragers, tanners, miners, cobblers, soldiers, and so on up the tech tree....

There’s another step beyond owning a house if you really want to show off, however: how you decorate that house. From bars, to modern living rooms, and even someone who managed to create a night sky in their basement, FFXIV’s relatively basic housing tools can be bent or broken to create seemingly anything if you’re patient and skilled. Or, if you’ve got the in-game currency to pay someone else to do it for you....

The irony of twisting Apple’s original Orwellian attack on Microsoft shouldn’t be lost here. It’s a meticulous attack, I’ll give them that. After brazenly offering a “don’t give Apple money” button on Fortnite’s iOS client, Apple predictably booted the game from the App Store. This played right into Epic’s hand, with the pubs immediately firing off a lawsuit and, more bizarrely, an in-game ad campaign for their lawsuit captioned “Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite” (get it?...

Happily, it doesn’t seem any more demanding of your PC hardware than the base game’s Mexico map, and in places can run a little smoother. For testing I mainly used an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070, which is naturally slower than the best graphics cards of more recent GPU generations but is nonetheless listed among Forza Horizon 5’s recommended system specs. That went in next to my test rig’s usual Intel Core i5-11600K and 16GB of DDR4 RAM....

“I have not received any payment from [Materia Collective] for the sales and streams of my Celeste B-Sides track since July 26, 2019, when they began handling the release’s payments,” 2 Mello posted on Twitter. He added that three other B-Sides artists told him they hadn’t seen payments from the label since July, and despite contacting them mulitple times in private, he hadn’t heard from Materia since November. Materia were quick to apologise on social media, saying this was unintentional....

If you are one of those people who bases their gaming personality on liking the original Thief series, Gloomwood will have been on your radar for a while. It’s a grimy, steampunk-ish stealth immersive sim with a deliberate low-poly vibe, and it picks up the abandoned Thief football to absolutely run with it. But, though the current EA build is but short, it feels like Gloomwood is aiming to punt that ball into outer space....

Draknek’s games tend to be puzzlers about pushing, rotating and positioning blocks in a grid-based world, and the same seems to be true here. Bonfire Peaks also has a beautiful voxel artstyle to set it apart, though. The press release also says it’ll have over 100 levels and that it’ll be “fiendishly difficult” - which, yes, is another Draknek hallmark. Cosmic Express and A Monster’s Expedition (disclosure: the latter of which was written by Pip, RPS in peace) are games which start easy and gradually add wrinkles that make levels seem impossible to solve, until you spot the solution in a moment of mind-expanding glory....

Indeed, it made the long wait until Animal Crossing: New Horizons that bit shorter when I gorged myself on it over the Christmas holidays last year, and I often find myself returning to it even now. Despite being infinitely smaller in stature than Animal Crossing, my frequent dips into this cosy island jaunt became a bit like opening a tin of Cadbury Heroes, promising myself I’d have just the one and then an hour later finding the entire box had mysteriously disappeared in a puff of plastic wrappers....

Players who got far enough into the Playable Teaser were presented with a survey asking their opinions, and THQ Nordic have now shared their results. They say that 94.8% of 43,111 responses wanted them to go ahead with the remake. They did also ask questions about specific parts as well as having an open field for other comments, which is where more criticism came in. THQ Nordic say they will “assess what players liked and what they want to be different than in the playable teaser....

The Gun Van’s aim is to undercut the bricks-and-mortar Ammu-Nation stores, offering discounted rates on its hardware. You can forget Rank requirements too, because there aren’t any. Up first in its roster of armaments is the punchy new railgun, a classic PC weapon if ever there was one. Sorry, shotgun. If you want to use the Gun Van’s services then you’ll need to keep an eye out for a dodgy-looking Vapid Speedo van while you’re cruising about doing crimes....

In a statement on Twitter, they announced that they’re organising a live stream for June 7th “to highlight Black voices in our industry”. This will focus exclusively on games made by Black developers, and games featuring Black protagonists. The three-day showcase will now take place on June 13th, 14th and 15th. It looks like we might be on track to hear more about Baldur’s Gate 3 from Larian, as well as see announcements from Disco Elysium developer ZA/UM, Frostpunk creators 11 Bit Studios, and more....

Half-Life: Alyx has a release date March 23rd is the big day for Valve’s VR-only game, barely twelve years after the last Half-Life. Metro Exodus has ended its Epic Games Store exclusivity Fourteen months after the launch of Epic’s store, more big games are reaching the end of their scloosie year. This comes days after the launch of its second expansion. Exodus, as well as an edition with both DLCs, are 40% off on Steam to celebrate the launch....

You’ll be able to download the first preview this Thursday, and that one will test the 4v4 Arena mode, though Training Mode and Weapon Drills will be available too. Unfortunately for folks in the UK, matchmaking will be turned on during specific 4-hour slots starting Friday that aren’t particularly kind to our sleep schedules. Here are the timings: The second preview, which kicks off on Friday the 1st of October, will let players duke it out in big 12v12 battles....

Alligator New York City (that’s legit what it’s called) is bustling with activity. There are alligator shopkeepers, alligator musicians, alligators hanging out windows, walking on the pavements, chilling in the park - there’s so much going on it makes you want to click on everything and everyone. There are, no joke, 100 alligators in this game, of which 30 will have mini-games for you to play. It’s mini-game heaven up in here....
