There is a deluge of tactical extraction shooters flooding Steam right now, but at least Level Zero Extraction is moving away from the typical milsim aesthetic and throwing a bunch of freaky aliens at you instead. However, if you were planning to jump into the game on day one when it launches in Steam Early Access in August, you'll have to ever so slightly change your plans, as the developers have pushed the launch back in order to avoid some rival "heavy hitters."

Sylvio, a first person horror game series that debuted back in 2015, is among the best indie entries to the genre. Endearingly strange and genuinely creepy, the first two Sylvio games focused on solving puzzles, occasionally ********* monsters with a glorified potato ****, and deciphering messages from the ***** by scanning through static drenched recordings of the kind ghost hunters love to collect from crumbling old buildings. It's been nearly seven years since Sylvio 2 came out, though, which suggested that creator Stroboskop had moved on from the series. Fortunately, that isn't the case, as Sylvio: ****** Waters has just launched through The Mortuary Assistant and Dread Delusion publisher DreadXP. Read the rest of the story... View the full article
NetherRealm has revealed animalities for Mortal Kombat 1 in what marks a return of the fatality variant after a 29-year absence. Animalities, which made their debut in 1995’s Mortal Kombat 3, let the victorious character turn into an animal before tearing their victim apart in typically gory fashion. During a panel at San Diego Comic-**** 2024 attended by IGN, NetherRealm showed off Mortal Kombat 1’s animalities with teaser footage. Rain, for example, turns into a puffer fish who explodes from the inside of his opponent. A new trailer, below, showed off more animalities, including hyena, hippo, gorilla, t-rex skeleton, and wolf finishers. Of course, Scorpion turns into a scorpion. Mileena turns into a preying mantis. The animalities reveal came as part of the announcement of Mortal Kombat 1’s second year of content and the Khaos Reigns DLC. Kombat Pack 2 includes another six DLC characters, all of which had been datamined ahead of their announcement. They are: CyraxSektorNoob SaibotGhostfaceConan the BarbarianT-1000 Animalities can be performed by all playable fighters and will be available in conjunction with the Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns release on September 24. Meanwhile, all owners of Mortal Kombat 1 will receive a free MK 95 Scorpion character skin, inspired by the original Mortal Kombat (1995) film, available today. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN.

The developers of Mortal Kombat 1 wasted no time talking about all of the upcoming content coming to year two of the popular fighting game. At their San Diego Comic **** panel, a new trailer for the upcoming Khaos Reigns update featured new characters, new fatalities, and even a new story expansion. These new story chapters will follow an alternate timeline version of Havik seeking to take over the main timeline, and Earthrealm’s champions coming together to stop him. This story expansion will see the return of three classic characters: Noob Saibot, Sektor, and Cyrax. Like many characters in the rebooted Mortal Kombat 1 timeline, these three legacy characters will have radically different origin stories alongside reinventions of their classic fighting styles. In this new timeline, Noob Saibot appears to be an agent of chaos created by Havik, while Sektor and Cyrax are now female ninjas instead of male. View the full article
The Sims 4 Lovestruck Expansion Pack aims to bring romance to new heights for Simmers, though its drastic variances in depth make for DLC that's difficult to recommend at full price. Much like Growing Together, this new release puts a large focus on interpersonal dynamics, though to less success than the aforementioned EP. Lovestruck brings back some beloved concepts from past games like The Sims 2: Nightlife and The Sims: Hot Date alongside a few new ideas that make for entertaining drama, but it overall feels stretched too thin, and would've been much better suited to a Game Pack.

Stardew Valley may not be a game rife with pranking opportunities but one player's toddler taught them an entirely new way of voicing their disapproval of Pelican Town's resident bus driver Pam. Given the sheer amount of content available in Stardew Valley, it's no wonder that players can often so easily overlook mechanics and items that may have proven useful during a playthrough. Sometimes, all it takes are the fresh eyes of a child to discover an interaction that may have gone unnoticed and the results are usually quite fun. View the full article
Across the four different maps in League of Legends‘ new PvE game mode Swarm, there are many different enemies you’ll encounter and ********.

The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics kicked off today with the usual fanfare: pyrotechnics, live performances, and, uh, a guy in an *********’s Creed get-up running the Olympic torch across the rooftops of Paris. It’s been nearly a decade since *********’s Creed Unity took players to the streets of France for some revolutionary parkour-and-******* shenanigans. But that sure didn’t stop what very much looked like a tribute to the game and its French developer, Ubisoft, taking center stage at the Olympics opening ceremony today. View the full article

In our Cataclismo preview earlier this month, we enthused about the survival RTS's toolset for meticulous base-building, which lets our inner Lego kids delight in the delicate, piece-by-piece placement of masonry, merlons, and ******* holes.

Back in 2021, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante came out, providing audiences with an unique game that blends strategy and RPG game style decision making with the story focused design of a visual novel, all presented through an eye catching hand illustrated aesthetic. This approach was a success, garnering a 91% or Very Positive user rating on Steam. And now, years later, a sequel has been announced with The Life and Suffering of Prince Jerian, which appears to expand further on what made its predecessor stand out and should appeal to fans of Crusader Kings 3's dynastic squabbling or Pentiment's rich narrative.

When it comes to delivering a competitive experience in an FPS game, skill-based matchmaking is one of the most important components and one that has to be well-implemented. However, SBMM's spread into the unranked lobbies of Call of Duty games has been one of the series most controversial talking points for a few years now. Well, if you're one of those hoping to see it removed from the casual CoD experience in ****** Ops 6 and beyond, keep dreaming, because Activision is back once again with a new post justifying its decision making.

One of the best building games of recent years is Urbek: City Builder. Urbek debuted in 2022 and has gone on to achieve a 91% or Very Positive user rating on Steam, but it's also never really received the level of widespread attention it deserves. With the disappointing launch of Cities: Skylines 2 this year and Frostpunk 2 coming out later than originally anticipated, now's as good a time as any to look into building games that were looked over in the past. And, with Urbek: City Builder currently discounted to a very low price on Steam, that's truer than ever. Read the rest of the story...
