Maybe you can relate, but I tend to find I crave twee and colorful things proportionally inverse to my melancholy. If I’m having a good week, give me ***** and Hunger and horrible films like Speak No Evil. If, like this week for some reason, I feel like bursting into tears at inopportune moments, I need silly little guys doing whimsical activities. Enter Dungeon Clawler. It’s a vaguely Slay The Spire-ish roguelite where you grab weapons from a claw machine while you ******. It's got lazy Steam Deck depression nap written all over it. The main theme reminds me of Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and the character I picked is named Sir Bunalot. Read more View the full article

A Lego game based on Sony’s Horizon series will be announced tomorrow, it’s claimed. The name Lego Horizon Adventures was first leaked last month by X user Kurakasis, who said it would announced at the next PlayStation State of Play, but that they didn’t know if it was a game or something else.

Microsoft has confirmed the first wave of games coming to Xbox Game Pass in June 2024. Highlights include today’s surprise shadow drop of Square Enix’s Octopath Traveler series, The Callisto Protocol, and Still Wakes the Deep. First up are the aforementioned Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler 2. Octopath Traveler (Cloud, Console, and PC) returns to the Game Pass library today, June 6, whereas Octopath Traveler 2 (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) launches on Xbox and Game Pass for the first time having released on other platforms last year, alongside a new update. IGN's Octopath Traveler review returned a 9.3. We said: "Octopath Traveler's beautiful style and outstanding take on traditional turn-based combat make it a game that pushes JRPGs forward rather than simply paying homage to the greats." IGN's Octopath Traveler 2 review scored a 7: "Octopath Traveler 2 is a very enjoyable JRPG sequel that feels a little too safe and familiar," we said. Moving on, Depersonalization (PC) hits Game Pass on June 12. It’s a tabletop role-playing game inspired by Call of Cthulhu with rich branching narratives. Then, on June 13, Isonzo (Cloud, Console, and PC) is added to Game Pass. This authentic World War 1 first-person shooter is set on the Italian Front. IGN’s Isonzo review returned a 7/10. We said: “Isonzo is a well-made shooter that welcomes all comers to its gorgeous, mountainous World War I multiplayer battlefields, though a lot of that approachability and familiarity comes at the cost of ******* authenticity and distinctive gameplay.” Then, on June 13, The Callisto Protocol (Cloud, Console, and PC) arrives on Game Pass. This ***** Space spiritual successor launched in December 2022, receiving a 7/10 from IGN’s review. We said: “The Callisto Protocol is a satisfyingly gory spiritual successor to the ***** Space series, but it’s ultimately more of a striking modern mimic than a scary new mutation.” And finally, Still Wakes the Deep (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) rounds out wave one on June 18 as a day-one Game Pass launch. This horror game from the studio behind Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is set on an oil rig off the coast of Scotland. Xbox Game Pass June 2024 Wave 1 lineup in full:Octopath Traveler (Cloud, Console, and PC) - June 6Octopath Traveler 2 (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) - June 6Depersonalization (PC) – June 12Isonzo (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 13The Callisto Protocol (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 13Still Wakes the Deep (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – June 18 Microsoft is set to host an Xbox showcase on June 9, where it is expected to fully unveil Call of Duty ****** Ops 6, among a number of other upcoming games.

I will admit it took me and my buddy a while to figure out how to get past The Final Shape’s first exotic puzzle. Figuring out how to solve the runes puzzle by reflecting projectiles with the sword guard had us scratching our Guardian’s heads in Destiny 2 for a minute.How to Overload the RunesThe most basic skill you will need to apply to this challenge in Destiny 2 is using the sword guard to reflect projectiles. This can be done by picking up the relic sword and holding the guard button. Now, projectiles will reflect from it and fly to where your reticule is pointing. Be aware this has a little drop, so aim high. Once you have this down, it’s time to start the challenge.Screenshot: PC InvasionThe rune sword is collected by ******** the yellow bar enemies.First RunesThe first set of runes simply needs you to reflect the hive projectiles being fired at you in Destiny 2 using the Rune Sword.

XDefiant takes a lot of things from Call of Duty and puts its own spin on it, including the game modes. One more CoD mode is coming to the game, but fans believe the XDefiant version might not work out so well.

Neopets is already a cultural phenomenon that's managed to survive throughout the various generational shifts of the internet but the franchise's latest spinoff looks to adopt a genre made popular by one of the cosiest games on the market: Animal Crossing. Most players will likely be most familar with the browser-version of Neopets, a simple but charming game that allows players to adopt, customize, and hang out with adorable fantasy creatures. While that iteration is still popular, those looking for something a little more modern that's also playable on the go should definitely check out Tales of Darcadia. View the full article

A report into the making of $200 million flop ******** Squad: ***** the Justice League has shed new light on Rocksteady’s troubled release as well as what’s next for the studio. ******** Squad: ***** the Justice League was panned by critics upon launch and had extremely low player numbers on Steam. Some of the frustration stemmed from ******** Squad: ***** the Justice League not being another Batman game from Rocksteady, despite it being set within the same Arkhamverse. The developer’s single player Batman Arkham series is much-loved by fans, with 2011’s Batman: Arkham City in particular held up as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, superhero video games of all time. ******** Squad: ***** the Justice League, on the other hand, is a live service third-person combat game in which Batman is a villain. Publisher Warner Bros. soon admitted the ******** of ******** Squad: ***** the Justice League contributed to a $200 million hit to revenue. Bloomberg spoke to a number of sources who revealed how Rocksteady went from working on an original multiplayer game codenamed Stones to a live service ******** Squad game amid what was described internally as a culture of “toxic positivity” that “discouraged criticism.” The original plan was to release ******** Squad: ***** the Justice league in 2019 or 2020, but a number of development issues over the years as well as Rocksteady's lack of live service and multiplayer expertise, combined to cause the game to suffer significant delays. Bloomberg said that despite ******** Squad’s clear failings as Warner Bros. and Rocksteady chased the volatile live service trend, management would insist everything would come together eventually. According to Bloomberg, Warner Bros. executives had told Rocksteady staff they expected ******** Squad to become a billion-dollar franchise. Clearly, it did not. What happens next? According to Bloomberg, Rocksteady staff were told in February 2024 the company was understaffed compared to other video game publishers, suggesting job cuts are not on the way. Many staff at Rocksteady are now said to be working on a director’s cut version of Warner Bros. blockbuster video game Hogwarts Legacy, while studio leadership pitches a new single-player game “which would return Rocksteady to its roots.” Warner Bros. did not comment on the report. Meanwhile, ******** Squad: ***** the Justice League appears set to receive new content (the game recently teased the introduction of Mrs. Freeze as a playable character) in the short-term, but there are question marks over Warner Bros.’ commitment long-term. The company has, however, revealed Batman: Arkham Shadow, a VR game developed by Camouflaj, maker of the Iron Man VR game, and set for release exclusively on the Meta Quest 3 later in 2024.
