****** Myth: Wukong is finally out, and millions of players are already embarking on their Journey to the West. But its pre-launch ******* was marred with controversy, with one streamer, MOONMOON, now taking advantage of the hype train to make fun of the devs. When the developers at Game Science issued review keys to publications, they made sure to attach a letter of “DOs and DON’Ts,” which reviewers should follow when playing the game. The letter notoriously prohibited the use of “feminist ***********,” among other subjects, and even had a list of banned words like “COVID-19, pandemic,” and so on. View the full article
Larian Studios has released a brand new evil ending cinematic teaser trailer for the Dark Urge coming this September for Baldur's Gate 3 fans who prefer to take the immoral route playthrough.

Still, one of the most fun and chaotic choices in the game to take on is The Dark Urge. View the full article

****** Myth: Wukong has smashed its way into Steam's top-selling games and become the most-played single-player game in the platform's history.

Our ****** Myth: Wukong review hails the game as "a generous Soulsy adventure hybrid that works within its limitations and delivers a beautiful challenge to be unpicked with a magical toolbox". Reviewer Edders went so far as to find the world more engaging than that of Elden Ring - proper defying-the-gods level rhetoric. Players seem to agree - the game launched last night, and has already accrued a concurrent player peak of 1.44 million - Steam's fourth highest ever, exceeded only by Counter-Strike, Palworld and PUBG. By that metric, it's the platform's most popular strictly single player game of all the time. All that goodwill has been spoiled, however, by a Steam code handout message to streamers and other "content creators" before launch which includes some reactionary, non-binding requests - no mention of "trigger words" like "Covid-19", no talk of "politics" or "feminist ***********", and no mention of "China's game industry policies, opinions, news, etc".

As I write this, ****** Myth: Wukong, the action adventure from China’s Game Science studio, is the most played game on Steam by player count. There are currently 1,400,932 players in-game (with a peak of 1,443,570), surpassing the likes of Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, PUBG and all the usual games that occupy Steam’s top five. Wukong’s launch was already predicted to be strong, with the game being Steam’s number one seller for several weeks, but the concurrent player figures are quite staggering for a single-player, offline game.

Helldivers 2 isn’t in its best state right now, and it might be a good time to take a break from the game (unless you already did), even according to the developer. “I hope you’ll stick around, but there’s nothing wrong with playing a game and revisiting it at a later state, especially a live service one that’s being worked on continuously,” Helldivers 2 community manager Twinbeard wrote in a Reddit thread on Aug. 19 in response to players declaring they’re quitting the game.

The 2024 LEC campaign is nearing its end, and League of Legends fans have already had enough of the LEC Season Finals, calling it a “snooze fest” as the season comes to a close. The LEC format featuring a three-split model followed by a Season Finals hasn’t been the most popular in the community. The format has limited the number of roadshows Riot Games is putting on for Europe, with only a single event at the end of the year and the other finals in the Riot Games Arena, Berlin. Having a condensed format followed by every final outside of the Season Finals played in the same 200-capacity studio has been a tough watch for fans. View the full article
Our unlucky planet in Wasteland Waste Disposal has suffered not just one apocalypse but all of them. Turns out the "megapocalypse" was an unhealthy combination of "every worst-case apocalyptic scenario imaginable". Luckily, in this upcoming sandbox adventure, you have a giant metal fortress that walks above the pools of toxic sludge on huge spidery legs and chomps up all the trash you bring it. If you are not intrigued by that, perhaps the little janitor with a sci-fi vacuum cleaner (or the feel-good music reminiscent of Adventure Time songs) will convince you.

Image: Valve Valve is banning Counter-Strike 2 players from using keyboard features to automate perfect counter-strafes. Razer was the first keyboard maker to add a Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions (SOCD) feature to its range of Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards last month, followed shortly by Wooting. Using Snap Tap as Razer calls it or Wooting’s Snappy Tappy will now get you kicked from Counter-Strike 2 games. “Recently, some hardware features have blurred the line between manual input and automation, so we’ve decided to draw a clear line on what is or isn’t acceptable in Counter-Strike,” says Valve. “We are no longer going to allow automation (via scripting or hardware) that circumvent these core skills and, moving forward, (and...
