Your Devil May Cries and your God Of Warses are the obvious reference points for describing Ultra Age, but it doesn't really feel like them, and I don't think it's trying to either.</p> <p>The basic idea is that you're stranded on a jungle planet full of industrial ruins, and have to fight through robots and huge animals in small groups, switching between several (kinda samey) swords as needed.

We've gone from aggressively dunking on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/fortnite">Fortnite</a> to actively enjoying Fortnite. Why? Desperation. And its No Build mode. We sought a lighthearted battle royale having tried loads of others, and were suckered in by the prospect of a Fortnite that didn’t feature people erecting defensive fortresses in milliseconds.</p> <p>Incredibly, the game has delivered.

There was a Mindflayer statue on hand as well, for fans to pose with next to their official cosplayers, and a little campfire for attendees to have a small sit down on, just like they'd do when resting in the game.

I'll be writing up a separate post about this in the coming days, but needless to say, Shirley was an absolute <em>delight</em>. </p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rps-at-pax-2022-mcpixel-3" class="link_overlay" title="RPS@PAX 2022: McPixel 3 is back and just as daft as ever"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/mcpixel3-screenshot.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/mcpixel3-screenshot.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/mcpixel3-screenshot.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/mcpixel3-screenshot.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/mcpixel3-screenshot.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/mcpixel3-screenshot.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Image for RPS@PAX 2022: McPixel 3 is back and just as daft as ever" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rps-at-pax-2022-mcpixel-3"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> RPS@PAX 2022: McPixel 3 is back and just as daft as ever </a> </p> <p class="strapline">"We don't talk about McPixel 2," says dev</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Katharine Castle</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-04-24 00:58:31.224280+00:00"> 1聽week ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rps-at-pax-2022-mcpixel-3#comments"> 3 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>The first <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/mcpixel">McPixel</a> was one of those point and click adventures that was just so wholesomely silly that it won you over with its mix of daft humour and bonkers, quickfire 'save the day' scenarios. Now, everyone's favourite bomb disposal expert is back in McPixel 3 (solo developer Sos Sosowski prefers we never mention the likes of McPixel 2), which we got to see in action over at the Devolver booth at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/topics/pax-east">PAX East</a> 2022. Sosowski took the reins for us in this demo, showing us exactly how <em>not</em> to save the world in this equally comedic sequel, proving that the McPixel formula is still just as potent ten years on from the original. </p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rps-at-pax-2022-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding" class="link_overlay" title="RPS@PAX 2022: The evolution of PC hardware modding"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/rps%40pax-2022_-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding-thumbnail-1.jfif 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Image for RPS@PAX 2022: The evolution of PC hardware modding" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rps-at-pax-2022-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> RPS@PAX 2022: The evolution of PC hardware modding </a> </p> <p class="strapline">We chat with panel moderator Isa茂e "Trouffman" Simonnet about the past, present and future of the hardware modding community</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Katharine Castle</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-04-24 00:16:01.963860+00:00"> 1聽week ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rps-at-pax-2022-the-evolution-of-pc-hardware-modding#comments"> 2 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>PC hardare modding is never something I had the guts to try during my time in the RPS hardware mines, but after attending The Evolution Of PC Modding panel at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/topics/pax-east">PAX East</a> this week, I wish I'd been a little bolder. Moderated by Overclocking-TV.com's Isaïe "Trouffman" Simonnet with special guests Joe Gialanella from ModMyMods, Eric "hobbseltoff" Hobbs from PC Modding Enthusiast, and Justin "Robeytech" Robey, these four experts took us through the history of PC modding over the last 15 years, the highs and lows of some of their very own builds, and what lies in store for PC modding going forward. It was a fascinating panel, and we caught up with Simonnet afterwards to try and recapture some of that excellent hardware chat for you folks at home. </p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-friday-daily-round-up" class="link_overlay" title="RPS@PAX 2022: Friday daily round-up"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/pax-east-2022-showfloor-tinyuild.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Image for RPS@PAX 2022: Friday daily round-up" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-friday-daily-round-up"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> RPS@PAX 2022: Friday daily round-up </a> </p> <p class="strapline">Games!

Instead of plonking ourselves in the middle of the empty show floor after hours, we snuck back into Devolver's booth to film our Friday catch-up, where we started our day some 10 hours beforehand. We got the lowdown on McPixel 3 from solo dev Sos Sosowski, and marvelled once again at the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rpspax-2022-the-best-and-most-cursed-things-we-saw-on-the-show-floor">lovely overgrown arcade cabinets</a> of reverse citybuilder Terra Nil.

But instead of copying Elite wholesale, it merely borrows some parts, and combines them with a classic roguelike framework, and lovingly paints the result with a huge dose of Star Trek.

This move has now happened, but if you were hoping for an update on how I am getting on with a massive virtual jigsaw, you will be disappointed. Everything I own (bar the suitcase of clothes Mr. Ryanair allowed on the plane) has been held by customs. More monstrous is that my stuff actually cleared customs, but some absolute head-melter unrelated to me or my boxes of pens - and who, I am choosing to assume, tried to ship a load of high grade cocaine into Ireland - got the entire container stopped in Dublin.</p> <p>This means that I have been without any TV for two weeks. Nor any books, video games, or even my big bag of crochet. We didn't get internet until two days ago. It is only by the grace of a technician looking at an HDMI cable stuck in our wall jack, stroking his chin, and then yanking the cable <em>really hard</em> that I'm talking to you now. In those two weeks, I discovered I am weak. But by a stroke of complete luck the new flat faces an busy shipping lane in an estuary. So I have also discovered a deep love for big boats and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.vesselfinder.com/">VesselFinder</a>.</p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-bb-boys-road-trip-directors-cut-special-edition" class="link_overlay" title="The BB Boys Road Trip: Director's Cut Special Edition"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/death-stranding-directors-cut-bike-smile.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/death-stranding-directors-cut-bike-smile.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/death-stranding-directors-cut-bike-smile.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/death-stranding-directors-cut-bike-smile.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/death-stranding-directors-cut-bike-smile.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/death-stranding-directors-cut-bike-smile.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Sam and BB smile at the camera on their motorbike in Death Stranding" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-bb-boys-road-trip-directors-cut-special-edition"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> The BB Boys Road Trip: Director's Cut Special Edition </a> </p> <p class="strapline">The BB Boys return for one last job...</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Katharine Castle</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-04-01 16:00:04.274341+00:00"> 1聽month ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-bb-boys-road-trip-directors-cut-special-edition#comments"> 9 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>With the release of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/death-stranding-directors-cut">Death Stranding Director's Cut</a> on Wednesday, I've been reminded of two important things this week. Firstly, that Kojima's bonkers hiking postal sim is still one of the best open world games around. If you haven't read my <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/death-stranding-directors-cut-is-stranger-weirder-and-the-best-version-of-kojimas-hiking-postal-sim">full thoughts on the new Director's Cut</a>, please do consider having a gander. The second most important thing is that Death Stranding's photo mode remains just glorious, brilliant fun, and it therefore felt appropriate, nay, <em>necessary</em> to give my good old BB Boys another trip for the album. </p> </div> </div> </article> </li> <li> <article class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="features" data-premium="true" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/potato-flowers-in-full-bloom-overcame-my-distaste-for-dungeons" class="link_overlay" title="Potato Flowers In Full Bloom overcame my distaste for dungeons"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/potato_flowers_in_full_bloom_5.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/potato_flowers_in_full_bloom_5.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/potato_flowers_in_full_bloom_5.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/potato_flowers_in_full_bloom_5.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/potato_flowers_in_full_bloom_5.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/potato_flowers_in_full_bloom_5.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="Warriors fight slimes in a dungeon in Potato Flowers In Full Bloom" width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/potato-flowers-in-full-bloom-overcame-my-distaste-for-dungeons"> <span class="prefix">Supporters only:</span> Potato Flowers In Full Bloom overcame my distaste for dungeons </a> </p> <p class="strapline">Tuber own adventure</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">Sin Vega</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-04-01 14:30:00+00:00"> 1聽month ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/potato-flowers-in-full-bloom-overcame-my-distaste-for-dungeons#comments"> 4 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p>The main consolation of disliking a genre is the childish fun you can have by describing it badly and pretending you don’t know its name. For example, there's probably a generally accepted term for RPGs about traipsing around dungeons killing rats, while turning and moving strictly at 90 degree angles. But I actually typed out "Dungeons of Gridlock" because I genuinely thought that's what <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/legend-of-grimrock">Legend Of Grimrock</a> was called.

It's a roguelike DOOM-inspired shooter where you blast through procedurally-generated levels and their demonic denizens, earn cash, put points into a skill-tree, and get as far as you can.

I'm always up for a good Zelda-like, and everything I saw of Tunic back then seemed to confirm that this was 100% a game I would like and enjoy. </p> <p>You can probably imagine my excitement, then, when Microsoft announced there would finally be a playable demo to people download during last year's E3. However, as I briefly mentioned in my post about <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/tunics-instruction-manual-and-the-zelda-art-that-inspired-it">Tunic's brilliant in-game instruction manual</a> yesterday, I actually came away from that demo a bit disheartened. With just a single (and quite unforgiving) dungeon to explore, I was left thinking it hewed a bit too close to the Soulsian school of combat difficulty than I'd like. Upon playing the final game, however... Delight! Magic! Joy! I actually can't get enough of it. To think I almost dismissed what's now one of my early game of the year contenders on the basis of that one 20 minute demo now seems incredibly hasty on my part, but with so many games now being shoved down our throats on a daily basis, those first impressions can be devastatingly powerful. </p> </div> </div> </article> </li> </ul> </section> <nav class="pagination pagination_icons"> <div class="previous"> </div> <div class="page_counter"> <div class="details"> Page <span class="current">1</span> of <span class="max">30</span> </div> <a href="/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/archive/2022/05" class="button outline"> Archive </a> </div> <div class="next"> <a href="?page=2" class="button pagination_button"> <span class="icon" data-icon="angle-right" data-type="solid" title="Next page"></span> </a> <a href="?page=30" class="button pagination_button"> <span class="icon" data-icon="angle-double-right" data-type="solid" title="Last page"></span> </a> </div> </nav> </div> <div class="sidebar"> <div class="advert_container halfpage_container"> <div class="advert mpu" data-dfp-id="RPS_HP" data-dfp-sizes="300x600, 300x250, 300x1050" data-dfp-targeting="site=rockpapershotgun.com" id="RPS_HP_1" data-dfp-collapse="true"></div> </div> <div class="gn_sidebar"></div> </div> </div> <div id="content_below"> <div class="page_content"> </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer class="app_footer"> <div class="nav_wrapper"> <div class="about"> <a href="/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/" class="logo"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220507084132im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/0275_rockpapershotgun-logo.svg" alt="Rock Paper Shotgun logo" loading="eager"> </a> <form class="search_box" action="/web/20220507084132/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/search"> <input type="text" name="q" aria-label="Search" placeholder="Search"> </form> <p>Copyright 漏 2022 Gamer Network Limited, a ReedPop company.</p> <p>All rights reserved.
