It's no secret that Starfield, and the new Shattered Space DLC by extension, didn't meet expectations. I was critical of Bethesda's latest RPG at launch, bemoaning how the switch to 1,000 planets spread the magic we could find in Skyrim and Fallout far too thin. That's not the only problem players have, but discontent around Starfield has now bled over into the game's DLC. Now, amid the fan response, Bethesda design director Emil Pagliarulo says that, while the negative reception makes him "sad," the team is definitely not ignoring player criticism.

Image: Nintendo Nintendo just announced its new Alarmo clock with a motion sensor, and even though we’re still soaking in the $100 device, the company also shared a look at some interesting early prototypes that reveal how the project changed during its development. While the Alarmo is round and an eye-catching red, one “early” prototype Nintendo showed in an “Ask the Developer” interview had a more boxy shape and came in gray. This prototype did have an interesting feature in its dot matrix LED display (similar to the now-discontinued Echo Dot with Clock), but Nintendo ultimately went in a different direction because “we felt that this display system wouldn’t be able to communicate the instructions sufficiently,” says Nintendo’s Yosuke Tamori, who...

Sony accidentally released Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number in Australia last year despite the game being banned there, and everyone who bought it has suddenly been refunded as the game disappeared from the PlayStation Store. As reported by Press Start, *********** gamers received an email notifying them of the removal of Hotline Miami 2 from their game libraries and the PlayStation Store. Why? It was never allowed to be released there in the first place. The *********** government famously refused to give Hotline Miami 2 a classification upon its release in 2015 due to a "visual depiction of implied ******* *********," stopping it from being legally sold in the country. This fact somehow slipped through the cracks in October 2023, however, when a native PS5 version of Hotline Miami 2 was released across the world, including in Australia. It remained there for a whole year, even being added to the PlayStation Plus Games Catalog, before an issue was noticed. "We have become aware that the product Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number has not received a proper rating from the *********** Classification Board and have therefore taken steps to refund customers who have purchased the game," Sony said in an email to owners of the game in Australia. Hotline Miami was a fan-favorite indie title of the early 2010s, with the first game arriving in 2012 and the sequel coming a few years later in 2015. It featured fast and furious top down gameplay as players mowed down baddies in myriad morbid ways. In our 8/10 review of the latest, IGN said: "Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is a relentless, rhythmic, and brutal game of ******** fast, and often dying even faster."

The horrors of World War II have been long chronicled in the annals of videogame history, from all-out war games like Call of Duty and Battlefield to more strategic offerings such as Hearts of Iron and Brothers in Arms, or cerebral, story-led experiences including Valiant Hearts and This War of Mine. War Mechanic, however, imagines an alternate history where the Second World War instead escalated into open conflict between the ******* Union and the ******* States, and tasks you with surviving in its retro-inspired dieselpunk reality.

When you think of popular mascot horror games, the likes of Five Nights at Freddy's, Bendy and the Ink Machine, or Poppy Playtime spring to mind. However, last year brought us a bit of a sleeper hit in this subgenre thanks to DreadXP and developers MANGLEDmaw Games with Amanda the Adventurer. Centered around trying to solve the mystery behind a seemingly innocent *********** show by checking out several videotapes of it and solving puzzles, the game ended up being a hit with players, eventually earning an "Overwhelmingly Positive" reception on Steam. So it should be no surprise that a sequel would soon follow, and also not a surprise that it would arrive by this Halloween, with a release date for Amanda the Adventurer 2 announced via the trailer below.

The most complicated part of the installation is connecting a small Bluetooth antenna and sticking it to the... Continue reading… View the full article

I'd like to think videogames make flying easy. Even in Microsoft Flight Simulator, if you customize the settings and tweak the difficulty, you can make an intercontinental journey in a 747 feel like a breeze. Freedom, exploration, spectacle - these are some of the things that games do best. If you take the mechanics of a plane simulator, blend them with the galactic narrative of Star Citizen, and throw in some of Cyberpunk 2077's hard-edged aesthetic, you get G-Rebels, a new flying and dogfight game that's just been announced.
