It's been a pretty amazing few months when it comes to must-play new games, but the downside is that my backlog is looking longer than usual. Valve has now gone and worsened my pain, because some huge discounts in the Steam Summer ***** are about to see it swell even more. From recently released big hitters, to breakout indies, to classics that you can pick up for less than a takeout coffee, I've rifled through the hundreds of deals and picked out ten of my favorites.

The second free title update for Monster Hunter: Wilds is imminent, according to today's Capcom Spotlight stream. It's coming on June 30, which we already kind of new given that it leaked earlier this week. The update brings two brand new hunts: Seregios, from Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and Lagiacrus. Lagiacrus is a long-desired returning monster from Monster Hunter Tri, and is known for its agility underwater and its rivalry with Rathalos. Though most of Lagiacrus' fight in Monster Hunter: Wilds won't take place underwater due to the player not really being able to fight while swimming, there will be some elements of the hunt that take place underwater, including some special interactions. In addition to the new monsters, there will be a number of other new bits. With the update itself on June 30, new features such as layered weapons (finally), new photo mode settings, the ability to swap handlers, a new collaboration gesture that involves a Fender guitar, a new free gesture set, new paid cosmetic items, and various other rewards and equipment additions hit the game. On July 23, there will be a seasonal event entitled Festival of Accord: Flamefete. It will run until August 6 and feature limited-time equipment and other perks. And then on July 30, a new Arch-tempered monster, Arch-temered Uth Duna, will appear, along with its own challenge quest and equipment rewards (that are, frankly, gorgeous). We gave Monster Hunters Wilds an 8 when we reviewed it at launch, saying: "Monster Hunter Wilds continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge." Monster Hunter: Wilds' second free title update is completely free to anyone who already owns the game, and will drop in just four days, on June 30.

Right, how about a look at Resident Evil: Requiem then 'ey? Capcom revealed their latest entry in the horror series earlier this month at Summer Game Fest (after a little bit of a prank), but didn't really show off any gameplay. It was more just a "hey, it's real, and also here's our protagonist Grace Ashcroft!" kind of reveal. Our own Edwin got to take a look at it in action around the same time, but a new trailer during today's Capcom Spotlight has offered up a bit of a look for the rest of us now too.

Calling Destiny 2's upcoming armor changes divisive might be an understatement. Bungie may have added more fuel to that fire through a blog post today, where it outlined how Exotic class items will work and set a hard limitation in Exotic armor dropping after the expansion's release. Once Edge of Fate launches, new drops of Exotic armor will only drop with a range of 58 to 62 stat points, considerably worse than the values already available in game. Under the new system, this is equivalent to a tier two drop (out of five), the developer confirmed on a blog post today, though a well-rolled Exotic armor can get to 67—and in rare cases, even above. Edge of Fate has some of Destiny's biggest overhauls... Image via Bungie "Once masterworked, this should be comparable to all but the very best Armor 2.0 rolls," the blog post reads, though the high end of armor in the current system can also receive a masterwork. For veteran players under the current system, most drops below 63 are likely replaceable unless they have some extraordinary scaling. Regular Exotic armor will be converted to the new system once the expansion releases, keeping their attribute values but changing the stats to the new sandbox (e.g. Mobility becoming Weapons). The exception is Exotic class items, which come with a hiccup of their own. Existing and upcoming drops of Exotic class items will shift to the new system, but Bungie will maintain tier two as a baseline. Since class items are randomly rolled, though, the studio is giving them all 63 points. ...though not everything seems positive. Image via Bungie All Exotic class items will get 30 points to the primary stat, 20 in the secondary, and 13 to the tertiary attribute, which are split depending on the perks a given piece rolled with. Bungie hasn't outlined what traits equate to each stats, however. This does mean players don't have to (re)grind for the right perk and the right distribution at the same time—a decent sign considering how demanding the grind was in the first place. Though class items will escape largely unscathed, most Exotic armor pieces are in the firing line. Without any changes in this prerogative, future drops are bound to come out worse than what's already in players' vaults. It's too early to tell how the system will shake up for regular armor pieces, but the prognosis doesn't look all that favorable for those special items. The overt downgrade between current armor and upcoming drops can put another pain point in what may be among Destiny 2's most contentious expansions. The depth of reworks in Edge of Fate is admirable, though the divisive changes failed to capture players' hearts ahead of the new content release. Setting a low, arbitrary limit to some of the most essential items in buildcrafting doesn't help; instead, it can be needless friction for a studio that already has an uphill battle ahead of itself to win player trust. The post Destiny 2’s armor rework looks decent for Exotic class items—and awful for everything else appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

For fans of first-person shooters, 2025's Steam Summer ***** has several fascinating titles at hilariously low prices.

Oraxia, Warframe's new spider frame, dropped alongside the Isleweaver update in June 2025. The 61st Warframe brings Toxin damage and even some cute-but-deadly spider buddies you can use as summons. Since she's narratively tied to the Duviri Paradox, Albrecht Entrati, and even Neci Rusalka, you must complete The Hex quest before farming Oraxia. Once you unlock the Triumph of Dust node in Duviri, you can bring your Warframe into an activity that mixes regular Duviri and Undercroft activities, with a battle against Oraxia herself (and some Murmur) at the end of the activity. Here's how you can add the ****** Widow to your arsenal. Table of contentsHow to get all Oraxia parts in WarframeAll Oraxia abilities in WarframeHow to get all Oraxia parts in Warframe Prepare to defend yourself. Screenshot by Destructoid Oraxia's parts drop from opening the final chest in the Triumph of Dust, Isleweaver's unique node. You can obtain her Systems, Neuroptics, Chassis, and Blueprint at the end of the activity, with a 7.69-percent chance of grabbing any of them, as per the official drop tables. You can also obtain her signature weapons from this node. Breating Oraxia and fully completing a mission in Isleweaver also drops Scuttler Husks, a secondary resource you can exchange for Oraxia parts by speaking to Acrithis in the Dormizone. During Operation: Eight Claw, you can also speak to Dominus Thrax for some goodies. It takes 60 Scuttler Husks for Oraxia's main blueprint and 20 for each of her parts, with a grand total of 120 if you don't unlock any of them as you farm. Blueprints and parts for the Scyotid, Spinnerex, and Thalys are also available in this shop. You get between 16 and 20 Scuttler Husks per run on normal, while the Steel Path version bumps that up to 22-24. Better save up. Screenshot by Destructoid With both the chances to obtain Oraxia and the Scuttler Husks, adding the spider Warframe to your arsenal should only take a few hours, even if RNG doesn't favor you. There are other items in the shop, too, so you can always dive back into the fray for more goodies (and free Pathos Clamps are hardly a bad drop). All Oraxia abilities in Warframe Dominus Thrax is your unlikely ally in beating Oraxia.

Ranged weapons gain Toxin damage, and killing enemies makes explosions that deal Toxin damage. Tapping dodge snaps to a surface and can trigger her passive. Fittingly enough, the spider Warframe has an array of ways to apply Toxin damage, while her kit also channels a bit of the common themes surrounding these arachnids. Using Archon Continuity can be a great choice, since it causes Toxin effects from abilities to also apply a stack of Corrosive damage. Her **** Scuttlers spawn from her third ability, and the Summoner's Wrath aura mod and Arcane Camisado also stack with their damage, as per Warframe design director Pablo Alonso. Oraxia's unique gameplay can make her an easy pick, and she seems to have the lethality to make her a great option in most game modes.
