Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault gets a 1.0 date and demo as the original goes temporarily free

The concept behind Moonlighter, i.e. you are a shopkeeper except to get your wares you need to venture forth into dangerous dungeons and make it out alive, is always one that appealed to me, but has just managed to slip me by all these years. My problem now is that I have two new reasons not to ignore both it and its sequel The Endless Vault, as the follow-up now has a 1.0 release date, and the original is free for the next few days.

Fields of Mistria enters 1.0 with a delightful, retro anime trailer and a promise of more to come

Look, you and I both know the amount of hours you've put into Stardew Valley is enough to make someone think you play it on the toilet, in the shower, and driving on your way to work. But how about something a little different, and a touch more magical and anime-esque than ole ConcernedApe's modern classic? You'll be wanting to look to Fields of Mistria in that case, which after an early access period of a couple of years is now out in 1.0. Read more

Marble Souls dares to ask what would happen if the bloke from Dark Souls got stuck in a physics-driven ball, and it's out this year

FromSoft games famously often devolve into rolling around a big baddie. Marble Souls takes that a step further. Now, the rolling is the main event, not just a side effect of you not wanting to end up pancaked on the ground. You are a Dark Soulsy bloke in a Dark Soulsy world, but trapped inside a physics-driven ball and tasked with collecting lost souls. It looks cool. Read more

Fear not, samurai masochists, Onimusha: Way of the Sword's flashiness hasn't replaced its challenge

Last month, I played an extended preview of upcoming action slasher Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and came away impressed - if a bit sore in the fingers. Though the samurai action genre is a crowded one these days, with Nioh 3 doing an excellent job of claiming the current throne, Onimusha has more than a few intriguing tricks up its yukata sleeve.

Helldivers 2 getting an upgraded level cap probably isn't what that spooky teddy bear teaser was about, but is almost definitely in preparation for it

Tonally mercurial co-op shooter Helldivers 2 is boosting its level cap, again, in another hint that something big is brewing in the blackness of its endlessly war-torn galaxy. Following a previous increase from 50 to 150, developers Arrowhead are bumping the cap to level 300 in an upcoming patch, with any XP that you would have gained since hitting the previous limit set to apply retroactively. I wonder if any dive-happy souls out there have banked enough well-done points to instantly jump from

Big Walk simulates the strange, childlike sensation of being unexpectedly separated from your friends, and the joy and relief of finding your way back

The other week, the SIM card in my phone stopped working. At first, working from home, the change was barely noticeable: a router handled my internet coverage, and Whatsapp messages continued unabated. Only once I left the house did I realise that a safety net had been cut. I’ve never once called for a fire engine, but the option has long been a source of comfort. Now, suddenly SIMless, I could not. Nor could I check in with my wife about which binbags to buy. Wi-fi spots at Starbucks and
