Is it just me, or is the survival crafting genre having something of a golden age these last few years? We've had countless titles, including Palworld, Enshrouded, and Runescape Dragonwilds as standout entries. But while this new title clearly draws inspiration from many others, it feels most like a satisfying mixture of Minecraft and Valheim, with enough unique twists to make it feel brand-new. I never played Enshrouded, to this day, but I can safely say that the combat in Palworld—and most modern crafting survival games—feels a little too easy for the most part. So color me surprised when I had some trouble with Everwind, a new title by developers Enjoy Studio S. A. and publishers Bohemia Interactive. Here's how it all went. I spawned into the world, which I aptly named "the world" given that I'm such a creative genius, and dove straight into ignoring all the tutorial messages, because who has time for that? I cut through a few enemies and made my way down a tower, finally emerging into the world. I'd taken a slight beating, but I was in pretty good shape. Until the skeletons outside saw me. I guess they didn't take kindly to me slaying all their comrades inside. What felt like a never-ending horde of them attacked me, though it was only really about four of them. These things are tough – they don't go down easy, and they seem to hit harder than I do. Thankfully, I survived this encounter and limped my way over to an archery range to take stock and hopefully cook some food. Some animals gave up their pixels so I could get meat, and I cooked up some eggs I found. With this, I headed out into the water to find a... flying ship? Screenshot by Destructoid Yes, it is as cool as it sounds. It's a literal flying ship. And I quickly figured out how to fly it, and then set off for a curious question mark that had appeared on my screen, up above, on a floating island. Yeah, did I mention this game has flying ships, challenging combat, and floating islands? Uh oh... I can see a lot of my future free time getting sucked into this title. It took a long, long time to get to the island. It turns out ships aren't all that good at flying upwards, who knew? I reached my destination, quickly bested two more skeletons, and then opened the door to a tower to find something called a Skeleton Champion. I'll admit it, I panicked. I even ran when I realized I was outmatched. It's at this point that flying ships get a little less cool. Screenshot by Destructoid You see, most of the ship is underwater when it's in the water, so you can actually get on the thing. But when you've parked your flying ship on land, well, there's no easy way back up. Of course, there's a way to teleport back to your ship, but remember, I've been ignoring the tutorial messages, so I've no idea how to do that. So, in the end, the only option was to fight. This thing tracked me like a bloodhound on steroids, and short of jumping off the island and to my death, I couldn't shake it. So, fight I did, and after my sword broke, I just went on punching it in the face. Very satisfying, but inevitably, this led to my untimely death. Screenshot by Destructoid Well, I'm hooked. Maybe, backed up by a few friends, I'll pay Mister Skeleton Champion another visit in the future, but for now, I think I've had quite enough. If you'd like to prove you're a better gamer than me and cut down the Skeleton Champion with a wooden sword, all while wearing an old wooden cutting board and some rope as "armor," please, be my guest, and share your story in the comments. You can grab the demo on Steam, and it's available this week only, until Oct 20. Maybe it becomes available again in future, but if I were you, I wouldn't take that chance. It really is a must-play.

The year is 3025. Real life recieves a patch which renders you able to see every item you own with such fidelity that your eyes basically become microscopes. This is cool, your friend says, we're now only a little bit behind the level of detail Skyrim modders have kitted out 2011's finest lizard yelling simulator with. If you're wondering what's inspired me to reach for my crystal ball, it's the emergence of yet another Skyrim mod which takes the RPG one step closer to featuring as many dynamically moving parts as our own reality. It allows folks across Tamriel to look at a calendar and decide they need a fresh hairdo without any input from your character, who's then left playing catch-up on all the new trims like a distant aunt at a family gathering.

Ah, Worlds. It's Christmas, Easter, and every other holiday rolled into one for League of Legends players. From a production standpoint, the anthem for each year's tournament is the most important part, setting the tone for the crowning moment of the LoL esports calendar. It's an unenviable task, and many over the past 15 years have taken to it with mixed success. Now, it's the turn of Gloria Tange Sze-wing, known as 'G.E.M.,' to leave her mark on Worlds history with 'Sacrifice.' Though the video is an instant hit, I initially can't help but feel the tune itself isn't hitting right. Read the rest of the story...

Steam Next Fest kicks off its week-long October event today, featuring dozens of PC VR demos. Returning for the final time this year, some Steam Next Fest titles have previously released PC VR demos, such as Thrasher, By Grit Alone, Crossings, Deadly Delivery, and Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate. There's also BattleGroupVR2, which now has a confirmed launch date of November 7, while historical puzzler Escape from Hadrian's Wall follows on November 10. Other spotted highlights include a new co-op demo for Vex Mage, zombie co-op shooter Drop Dead: The Cabin, survival horror title Dread Meridian, and World War 1 horror game Trenches VR. Some participating games with optional PC VR support - namely The Signal: Stranded on Sirenis, Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, and Lumines Arise - are flatscreen-only demos. Our list was provided by Valve nearly two weeks ago, so it's worth remembering some games might have dropped out despite being listed. Other developers may release demos during this time that aren't technically part of Steam Next Fest, too, and therefore aren't on the main page when filtering your search for VR. We'll update this list if we become aware of any changes. For now, here's the full list of participating Steam Next Fest PC VR games we're aware of.

The latest Steam Next Fest began this week, showcasing a wide range of upcoming titles. And as has become a trend, publishing platform [Hidden Content] has several titles featured. To celebrate, it has launched a campaign called Next Fest Party that will run from October 13–20 and includes free demos for 12 different games. The games come from a variety of different developers in a variety of different genres, so we figured we’d give you a rundown of everything that’s available. Below you’ll find brief descriptions of each game, with each title linked to its free demos so you can try them for yourself. Monsters and Me This 2D top-down roguelite shooter is chaotic, silly, and a bit gross (well, as gross as a 2D game can be). Your city has been overrun with ****** mutants who have one goal in mind: ripping your face off. The natural reaction should be to prevent that, so you’ll need to upgrade your weapons and special abilities to fend off the horde. The demo drops you into the game’s first level, and you just need to survive as long as you can. Simple, right? Kriophobia Kriophobia also challenges you to survive, but in a VERY different way. You play as Anna, a geophysicist who’s trapped in a frozen Soviet bunker … and something else is down there with you. This is classic psychological horror, perfect for spooky season and for players who don’t want their hands held. Combat is tense and difficult, to the point it’s sometimes best avoided altogether. The demo is a standalone section of the game’s second chapter, where you’ll have to contend with the cold, mysterious abominations, and Anna’s traumatic past. Plagun This pixel shooter is a bullet-hell roguelike set in a post-apocalyptic kingdom where an attempted cure for death resulted in an all-consuming plague instead. You were a doctor before this event, but now you must use cursed masks and plague-infused weapons to deal with escalating waves of enemies. The demo is a vertical slice that will give you a sense of the game’s fast pace and let you experiment with different cursed masks and power-ups. Dwarf Delve It’s time to pick up your Battlemallet, go delving into mines, and try to safely make it out with as many riches as you can in this first-person extraction roguelite. The mines are randomly generated, so no two trips are the same. You’ll need to craft items like support beams and ladders to traverse dangerous areas, as well as utilize lanterns and floodlights to see in the darkness. Once you’ve grabbed your loot, you’ll need to be wary of traps and other dangers on your way back to safety. Heistfest Do you like stealing stuff and then causing untold destruction throughout the city as you try to make your escape while an escalating police force chases you? Well, great news. That’s the premise of the aptly named Heistfest. You’ll speed your way through hand-drawn environments, and things will get more intense the longer you evade capture. And if you think that means just adding some more cop cars and maybe some guns, think again. You’ll have to deal with spike traps, helicopters, paratroopers, tanks, and full-on airstrikes. Chaos and fun are more important than realism anyway. The demo is a vertical slice that gives you a sense of the core gameplay loop: rob a bank, spark a police chase, and see how long you can survive as public enemy #1. Locked in My Darkness 2: The Room It’s Halloween time, so of course there can’t just be one scary game on this list. This one is a psychological horror walking sim focused on atmosphere, exploration, and puzzle solving. You play as Yuki Tachibana, a Japanese high school student who recently moved into a new apartment with her family. Something sinister awakens within the walls of their new home, warping reality and dredging up sins of the past. With flashlight in hand, you’ll uncover notes, solve environmental puzzles, and reveal the secrets of Yuki’s family. Nullstar: Solus You are Solus, a scavenger drone sent to salvage the nullstar from a dying world. But there’s only one goal that really matters in this game: be faster. You’ll need to master the flying mechanics, thrusters, and momentum to make it through levels as quickly as possible. Those levels are high-risk, high-reward, and you’ll need to stay on your toes to deal with everything they can throw at you. Air Hares You probably haven’t seen a bullet hell quite like this one. In Air Hares, your main goal isn’t shooting enemies out of the sky; it’s using your plane to seed and water crops to save the starving people of the barren Winrose Warren. But your feathered foes in the Gale Gang want to stop you, so you’ll need to dodge, jab, and ram them to send them packing and get back to your important work. Binary Golf Miniature golf gets a chaotic overhaul in Binary Golf, where you use your golf ball to eliminate targets until the final one becomes the hole you need to get your ball into. But this isn’t just any old mini golf course. You can jump over hazards, teleport across courses, and phase through objects to pull off trick shots. The demo includes the game’s first two episodes, which will teach you the ropes before pitting you against a boss to test what you’ve learned. The Cascadier If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a roguelike deckbuilder collided with a magical coin-pusher machine, The Cascadier has your answer, and it’s gloriously chaotic. Each run has you charging coins with elemental powers from your deck and dropping them into dazzling, pinball-like cabinets that erupt in chain reactions if you drop your coin just right. You’ll be guided by Fortuna, the trickster goddess of luck, and her envious brother Theodan as you chase divine rewards. Each round starts with ten coins to drop and your deck of earned abilities. Like any good coin pusher, you’ll scoop up coins mid-round and play them back in to keep your score and ticket count climbing. Run out, and the round’s over, so make every toss count. Hit your score goal to move on, then choose new powersets to add to your growing deck and mix things up in the next run. You’ll spend your hard-earned tickets on upgrading Trinkets that grant new abilities and permanent boosts. The demo lets you try the first cabinet, a lush, nature-themed machine that hints at the elemental powers each new board will bring. Elemental Brawl A multiplayer party game, Elemental Brawl tasks you with beating up your friends with the power of the elements. Each round begins with everyone only being able to punch and kick, but as time goes on, random elemental orbs will drop. Collecting them grants you powers related to that element, and you can combine elements as the round continues. And the maps aren’t static, you can use your elements to burn them, freeze them, turn puddles into steam traps, and more. It’s all about coming up with creative ways to eliminate your opponents. Chowdown Kitty A puzzle game with simple yet addictive gameplay, Chowdown Kitty presents you with a board filled with cat treats. Connect matching treats in a string of three or more, and those treats get pulled out and put in a food bowl for a cat. The more treats you manage to string together, the higher your score gets and the happier the cat gets. View the full article

EA and Battlefield Studios want players to know they are free to delete the Battlefield 6 campaign from their platform of choice after completing its story mode. While many who hopped into Battlefield 6 after its October 10 launch quickly locked themselves away in its smorgasbord of multiplayer maps and modes, others dived straight into its new campaign. It’s a short shooter romp that spans nine missions and about five hours of gameplay, with some players, including leaker and X/Twitter user BobNetworkUK, beating it quickly enough to discover a pop-up window with an option to uninstall the story mode after it’s been completed. LMFAO WHEN YOU FINISH THE BF6 CAMPAIGN IT REPLACES THE BUTTON WITH AN UNINSTALL BUTTON [Hidden Content] — bob. (@BobNetworkUK) October 11, 2025 The official recommendation first directs players to explore in-game challenges for unique unlocks tied to the single-player portion before offering an option to delete the component to “save space.” It even goes as far as to present an uninstall button as a convenient way to be rid of the mode entirely. With 2021’s Battlefield 2042 ditching a traditional story mode in favor of multiplayer destruction, Battlefield 6 is the first to offer a mainline campaign since Battlefield V in 2018. Still, players have found themselves divided about the new story component, with some feeling it accurately captures the chaos of the series, while others complain that it does little to leave a mark in its short runtime. IGN gave the Battlefield 6 campaign a 5/10 in our review last week. In the piece, we called it a “safe, dull reimagining of what Battlefield once was, rather than a bold reinvention of what it could be.” Like so many, we're having a much better time with the Battlefield 6 multiplayer. Those who move to uninstall after beating the campaign (or even before) could save about 15GB of storage space, or potentially even more after ditching relevant HD texture packs. That means those ready to wash their hands of the Battlefield 6 campaign will only need about 55GB of space left over to house its multiplayer offerings. Battlefield 6 launched for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S last week. It’s since become the series' biggest Steam launch, hitting a peak of more than 740,000 concurrent players, according to SteamDB. While some players moved to check out its standard multiplayer and campaign offerings, others managed to successfully rebuild Shipment, the classic Call of Duty map, in its Portal mode.

In an ideal world, I'd never have to clean. My dishes would magically wash themselves, the hoover would clear up my kids' cereal before it's stamped into the carpet all by itself (I refuse to get a roomba), and dust would simply be afraid to accumulate on my belongings lest it provoke my wrath. So one thing I enjoy in videogames is actively not cleaning. It's a place where dirt never accumulates and my list of chores is far shorter. Other players feel differently, however, and want Cities Skylines 2 in particular to be dirtier. So they modded the grit and grime of modern life into the hit strategy game.

Remedy Entertainment has issued a profit warning to investors, attributing it to “weak sales” of its co-op shooter, FBC: Firebreak. Firebreak, a PvE first-person shooter set in the Control universe and Remedy’s first full multiplayer game, was released in June. At the time, Remedy reported that launch sales had underperformed, but committed to improving the game based on player feedback. Two weeks ago, the studio released the game’s first major update. However, in a note to investors published this weekend, Remedy said sales had still not reached its internal targets. Read More... View the full article
