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.

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.

It's hard to overstate just how vital great UI is to a game. Every single setting, mechanic, and feature is unified under one style and presented to the player in a way that should, hopefully, enhance the overall experience. Sometimes UI becomes the soul of the presentation, with Persona 5's bold red, white, and ****** combinations defining so much of your time in-game. Elsewhere UI is diegetic, with ***** Space's holograms existing within the game itself, pulling you right into the worst day of Isaac Clarke's life. The importance of the Skyrim UI is no different, but that's why this brand-new mod is worth checking out. Read the rest of the story...

How do you interact with the brazier in The Sacred Hunt quest? Diablo 4 has a fairly long Spiritborn quest to unlock a place called The Spirit Hall. It involves some exploration, a lot of fighting, and a ****** that is seemingly immune to all damage. That isn't why we're here though - there's a point in the quest where you must interact with a brazier in some way to proceed, but it's a little murky on what you actually need to do - that's where we come in. The latest Diablo 4 DLC is here, and we delved deep in our Vessel of Hatred review to give you our honest opinion (we enjoyed it). If you want to undertake The Sacred Hunt quest you'll first need to get your Spiritborn class character to level 15, so get that boxed off. It might also help to hire a Diablo 4 mercenary to make the tough fights ahead a little easier. Read the rest of the story...
