See our <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/summer-2022-games-schedule">E3 2022 schedule</a> for all that. So far, I'm most excited by <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/skate-story">Skate Story</a>, which isn't a huge endorsement for the marketing extravaganza considering we've known about that sk8 into Hell for years now.

Outriders’ creative director Bartek Kmita says there’s “hundreds of hours of meaningful progression” in Worldslayer’s endgame, which sounds like a lot, but the focus is mostly on the replayable big new Trial of Tarya Gratar dungeon.

It's due out in Spring 2023 and will, of course, be an Epic Games Store exclusive. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/new-lord-of-the-rings-survival-game-return-to-moria-sounds-like-deep-rock-galactic-x-gimli">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Shoulders Of Giants is an action co-op game about a frog riding a robot</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/shoulders-of-giants-is-an-action-co-op-game-about-a-frog-riding-a-robot</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CJ Wheeler</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jun 2022 18:44:58 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/shoulders-of-giants-is-an-action-co-op-game-about-a-frog-riding-a-robot</guid><category>E3 2022</category><category>FPS/Shooter</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Roguelike</category><category>Epic Games Store</category><category>Shoulders Of Giants</category><category>Moving Pieces Interactive</category><category>Science Fiction</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/Shoulders-Of-Giantspng.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/Shoulders-Of-Giantspng.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/Shoulders-Of-Giantspng.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/Shoulders-Of-Giantspng.jpg" /> Guns and swords are a useful combination, so imagine having a gat-toting frog riding on top of a blade-wielding robot. That’s essentially the cut and thrust of Moving Pictures Interactive’s roguelite co-op action adventure <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/shoulders-of-giants">Shoulders Of Giants</a>, coming to the Epic Games Store later this year. They’re not quite a 21st century Banjo-Kazooie, but they’ll do in a pinch. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/shoulders-of-giants-is-an-action-co-op-game-about-a-frog-riding-a-robot">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>PC Building Simulator 2 now has an open beta on the Epic Games Store</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/pc-building-simulator-2-now-has-an-open-beta-on-the-epic-games-store</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Graham Smith</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jun 2022 18:38:42 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/pc-building-simulator-2-now-has-an-open-beta-on-the-epic-games-store</guid><category>E3 2022</category><category>PC Building Simulator 2</category><category>Simulation</category><category>Demo</category><category>Epic Games</category><category>Summer Game Fest 2022</category><category>Spiral House</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pc-building-simulator-2-header.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/pc-building-simulator-2-header.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/pc-building-simulator-2-header.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/pc-building-simulator-2-header.jpg" /> What is building a PC but piecing together an elaborate, electronic jigsaw? Equally, what is building a jigsaw but piecing together an analogue cardboard PC you can't do anything with after it's finished? These similarities are why building a PC isn't as strange a subject for a videogame as it first appears. If you like your electric jigsaws, then good news: there's now an open beta available for PC Building Simulator 2. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/pc-building-simulator-2-now-has-an-open-beta-on-the-epic-games-store">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Dragon Age: Absolution is a new animated series coming to Netflix</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/dragon-age-absolution-is-a-new-animated-series-coming-to-netflix</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Graham Smith</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jun 2022 17:17:51 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/dragon-age-absolution-is-a-new-animated-series-coming-to-netflix</guid><category>E3 2022</category><category>Dragon Age II</category><category>Dragon Age: Origins</category><category>Dragon Age: Inquisition</category><category>Netflix</category><category>Summer Game Fest 2022</category><category>RPG</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/dragon-age-absolution-header.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/dragon-age-absolution-header.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/dragon-age-absolution-header.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/dragon-age-absolution-header.jpg" /> Videogame publishers look at animated series like I look at air fryers: everyone else seems to have one, so I want one too. I assume that's why BioWare are working with Netflix to produce Dragon Age: Absolution, a new animated series coming this December. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/dragon-age-absolution-is-a-new-animated-series-coming-to-netflix">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>We've run the numbers on Diablo Immortal to find out what it really costs</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/weve-run-the-numbers-on-diablo-immortal-to-find-out-what-it-really-costs</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Rebecca Jones</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jun 2022 15:45:06 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/weve-run-the-numbers-on-diablo-immortal-to-find-out-what-it-really-costs</guid><category>Romance</category><category>Activision Blizzard</category><category>Free-to-play</category><category>MMO</category><category>Diablo Immortal</category><category>Blizzard Entertainment</category><category>Blockbuster</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/Diablo-Immortal_zGRT3Pp.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/Diablo-Immortal_zGRT3Pp.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/Diablo-Immortal_zGRT3Pp.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/Diablo-Immortal_zGRT3Pp.jpg" /> Ever since <a href="/games/diablo-immortal">Diablo Immortal</a> launched amid a storm of controversy last week, people have been trying to work out how much it really costs to play this theoretically free game. I'll be honest that maths has never been my strongest suit, but figuring out how games work under-the-hood is one of my favourite things to do. So I've spent most of this week chasing answers, and I've <a href="/how-much-does-it-cost-to-play-diablo-immortal">come up with a ballpark estimate</a> of what it would cost to max out your character. The answer is: £46,000, or $51,000, to fully equip your character with the best gear as quickly as possible using premium currencies. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/weve-run-the-numbers-on-diablo-immortal-to-find-out-what-it-really-costs">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Summer Game Fest suggests it's monsters in space time, and I'm all for it</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/summer-game-fest-suggests-its-monsters-in-space-time-and-im-all-for-it</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Alice Bell</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jun 2022 15:08:22 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/summer-game-fest-suggests-its-monsters-in-space-time-and-im-all-for-it</guid><category>E3 2022</category><category>Summer Game Fest 2022</category><category>Indie</category><category>Blockbuster</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/The-Callisto-Protocol_kqZO0qX.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/The-Callisto-Protocol_kqZO0qX.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/The-Callisto-Protocol_kqZO0qX.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/The-Callisto-Protocol_kqZO0qX.jpg" /> One time in the office (so, a hundred years ago) a hypothetical was posed: if you were given the chance to go to the moon, with a guarantee that nothing would go wrong, would you take it? "No," I said. "No way. Not a chance. I wouldn't like it." People were shocked at my refusal. "But nothing will go wrong!" they exclaimed. This misses the universal truth that even - and indeed, especially - when it is guaranteed nothing will go wrong, something will always go wrong in space. Honestly, who can say that they've played a video game set on a space station and not encountered at least one deserted corridor plunged into darkness, but with one spotlight tipped over onto its side to cast ominous shadows? Raise your hands. Terror in space has never gone out of fashion, really, but the source of the terror does seem to go in cycles. In the 2010s a lot of the danger came from an AI gone a bit sinister and funny. As we saw at last night's <a href="topics/summer-game-fest-2022">Summer Game Fest</a>, though, the monsters are back, baby. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/summer-game-fest-suggests-its-monsters-in-space-time-and-im-all-for-it">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>There’s a Final Fantasy VII 25th anniversary livestream on June 16th</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/theres-a-final-fantasy-vii-25th-anniversary-livestream-on-june-16th</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CJ Wheeler</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jun 2022 13:07:22 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/theres-a-final-fantasy-vii-25th-anniversary-livestream-on-june-16th</guid><category>Final Fantasy VII Remake</category><category>JRPG</category><category>Fantasy</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Story Rich</category><category>Square Enix</category><category>Final Fantasy</category><category>Hack & Slash</category><category>Science Fiction</category><category>Open World</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/final-fantasy-7-remake-intergrade-cloud-and-sephiroth.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/final-fantasy-7-remake-intergrade-cloud-and-sephiroth.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/final-fantasy-7-remake-intergrade-cloud-and-sephiroth.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/final-fantasy-7-remake-intergrade-cloud-and-sephiroth.jpg" /> <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/final-fantasy-vii-remake">Final Fantasy VII Remake</a>’s official Twitter account have <a href="https://twitter.com/finalfantasyvii/status/1535185214938435584">tweeted</a> to announce a 25th anniversary livestream for Square’s classic JRPG, which they’ve scheduled for June 16th.

I mean the other sort. The magic formulae of raw computer nonsense that runs under the cover of your favourite game and makes enemies flank you, or friendly NPCs toss a health kit just in time. Good AI is not an unbeatable genius. It is smartly stupid. It is both surprisingly clever and capable of wonderful carelessness. It can remind us of ourselves.

The last we saw of it was <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/skate-storys-underworld-kickflips-gets-technical-in-a-new-trailer">back in 2020</a>.

They describe it as a “lightning fast hard bass blast of kicking down doors and kicking ass”. Good grief.

It's a turn-based RPG and I like those; but it's a JRPG and I dislike those. It's got a spacefaring train in it, which I always think is cute; but also it's got anime waifus in it and those make me cringe. Its new trailer, which you'll find below, is dynamic and exciting and well-edited; but... it's got cringy anime waifus in it.

Slotting in snugly right after Geoff regaled us with the <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/summer-game-fest-2022-liveblog">Summer Game Fest stream</a>, this year’s Day Of The Devs showcase marked the tenth anniversary. Tim Schafer and friends revealed more about some stonking looking indies from places as far apart as the Netherlands, Japan and Argentina. It was lovely to see some solo devs featured too, such as Madison Karrh with Birth, a point-and-click puzzler about loneliness, and Billy Basso’s beautiful pixel-art Metroidvania Animal Well. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/everything-that-happened-at-day-of-the-devs-2022">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Make your bizarro pervert Saints Row character ahead of time in the free Boss Factory demo</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/make-your-bizarro-pervert-saints-row-character-ahead-of-time-in-the-free-boss-factory-demo</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Alice Bell</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 20:36:33 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/make-your-bizarro-pervert-saints-row-character-ahead-of-time-in-the-free-boss-factory-demo</guid><category>Saints Row (2022)</category><category>Deep Silver Volition</category><category>Sandbox</category><category>Summer Game Fest 2022</category><category>Blockbuster</category><category>Deep Silver</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/saints-row-boss-factory-header.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/saints-row-boss-factory-header.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/saints-row-boss-factory-header.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/saints-row-boss-factory-header.jpg" /> Revealed tonight at <a href="/topics/summer-game-fest-2022">Summer Game Fest</a>, you can whet your appetite for the new <a href="/games/saints-row-2022">Saints Row</a> game by making your boss character right now.

The news leaked out earlier this evening but was then officially announced as part of the Summer Games Fest. The good news is that our favoured platform will receive the same fancified version as is being developed for PlayStation 5; the bad news is that while the PlayStation 5 version has a September 2nd release date, there's no confirmed date for the PC version yet. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-last-of-us-part-1-is-headed-to-pc-but-theres-no-release-date-yet">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Warhammer 40K: Darktide looks like Vermintide in 40K alright, and that's just dandy</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/warhammer-40k-darktide-looks-like-vermintide-in-40k-and-thats-just-dandy</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Alice O'Connor</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 20:09:31 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/warhammer-40k-darktide-looks-like-vermintide-in-40k-and-thats-just-dandy</guid><category>Fatshark</category><category>FPS/Shooter</category><category>E3 2022</category><category>Warhammer 40k</category><category>Warhammer 40,000: Darktide</category><category>Summer Game Fest 2022</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/warhammer-40000-darktide-key-art-2.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/warhammer-40000-darktide-key-art-2.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/warhammer-40000-darktide-key-art-2.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/warhammer-40000-darktide-key-art-2.jpg" /> A new trailer for <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/warhammer-40000-darktide">Warhammer 40,000: Darktide</a> fresh out of the Summer Game Fest gives another look at the heretic-smashing cooperative shooter from the makers of Warhammer: Vermintide and yup, it looks like Vermintide in 40K. And that's fine. I'm good with that. That's great, really. Vermintide is fun but I've no affinity for Warhammer Fantasy so yes, give me bolters and Inquisitors and Ogryns and sci-fi Gothic cathedrals.

I'm afraid I am now of the opinion that "dark fantasy first-person shooter" is one of the most underwhelming word combinations in the English language. But hey, it's a video, the game could be bananas good when it comes out, and I'm duty bound to tell you all about it in case you get really excited for it - and if you do, then good news, 'cos the video confirms it's coming to early access on the Epic Games Store soon (aiming for Q4 2022). <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/evil-succumbs-to-a-distressingly-light-hail-of-bullets-in-new-witchfire-footage">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Highwater is the third game to expand the world of Golf Club Wasteland</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/highwater-is-the-third-game-to-expand-the-world-of-golf-club-wasteland</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Katharine Castle</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 20:04:12 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/highwater-is-the-third-game-to-expand-the-world-of-golf-club-wasteland</guid><category>E3 2022</category><category>Demagog Studio</category><category>Highwater</category><category>Indie</category><category>Summer Game Fest</category><category>Summer Game Fest 2022</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/highwater.png/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/highwater.png"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/highwater.png/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/highwater.png" /> First came <a href="/games/golf-club-wasteland">Golf Club Wasteland</a>, a post-apocalyptic sports game from Demagog Studios where the world's remaining elite jetted around golf courses on the ruined surface of Earth. Then, earlier this year, they announced <a href="/games/the-cub">The Cub</a>, a side-scrolling platformer telling a parallel story of one of the poor souls left behind on our home planet while the rest of humanity buggered off to Mars. Now, Demagog seem to be expanding their Wasteland-verse with a third entry: <a href="/games/highwater">Highwater</a>. It's not clear how this one relates to the others just yet, but it does feature a rather lovely yellow lifeboat in a flooded cityscape.

The Seventies aesthetic and Milton Keynes-esque, city-of-the-future feel shown in previous looks at the game are still very much in evidence – those massive swan statues are boss, and nobody hates monorails, right?

Yes, that's 3, despite there never being a Goat Simulator 2. The announcement trailer doesn't show anything in-game, but suggests it'll still be about causing havoc as a goat, only now with co-op and Epic Games Store exclusivity. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/goat-simulator-3-is-coming-this-autumn-via-epic-games-store">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Layers Of Fears looks a lot like a remaster of the first two games</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/layers-of-fears-looks-a-lot-like-a-remaster-of-the-first-two-games</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CJ Wheeler</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 19:40:37 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/layers-of-fears-looks-a-lot-like-a-remaster-of-the-first-two-games</guid><category>E3 2022</category><category>Layers of Fear</category><category>Horror</category><category>Bloober Team</category><category>Layers of Fear 2</category><category>Story Rich</category><category>Puzzle</category><category>Layers Of Fears</category><category>Summer Game Fest 2022</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/Layers-of-Fears-portrait_tAsgZIN.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/Layers-of-Fears-portrait_tAsgZIN.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/Layers-of-Fears-portrait_tAsgZIN.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/Layers-of-Fears-portrait_tAsgZIN.jpg" /> Summer Game Fest just got scary with the announcement of psychological horror <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/layers-of-fears">Layers Of Fears</a>, the next instalment in Bloober Team’s jump-fest series that might really be a remaster, sort of? Bloober say it's the "psychedelic experience fans know and love" and has "an expanded plotline", so this doesn't sound like an entirely new game. The freshly revealed Layers Of Fears is being built in Unreal Engine 5. As such, the trailer makes for pleasantly unpleasant viewing. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/layers-of-fears-looks-a-lot-like-a-remaster-of-the-first-two-games">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Something terrible happening to men in space yet again in horror adventure Fort Solis</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/something-terrible-happening-to-men-in-space-yet-again-in-horror-adventure-fort-solis</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Alice Bell</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 19:21:48 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/something-terrible-happening-to-men-in-space-yet-again-in-horror-adventure-fort-solis</guid><category>Fort Solis</category><category>Horror</category><category>Fallen Leaf Studio</category><category>Indie</category><category>Story Rich</category><category>Summer Game Fest 2022</category><category>Indiescovery</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/fort-solis-reveal.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/fort-solis-reveal.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/fort-solis-reveal.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/fort-solis-reveal.jpg" /> In a very short and technically not at all sweet teaser trailer at the Summer Game Fest this year, we saw that terrible things are afoot in isolated space station <a href="/games/fort-solis">Fort Solis</a>. Honestly, why does anyone bother building isolated space stations? It's like getting married at Christmas in Albert Square at this point. Geoff was joined on stage by Roger Clark (who you will know from being Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption) and Troy Baker (who you will know from, I dunno, throw a dart, you'll hit one) to briefly talk more about their characters and what the hap is heckening in this horror adventure game. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/something-terrible-happening-to-men-in-space-yet-again-in-horror-adventure-fort-solis">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Humankind is heading to Latin America for its next DLC</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/humankind-is-heading-to-latin-america-for-its-next-dlc</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Katharine Castle</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 19:18:33 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/humankind-is-heading-to-latin-america-for-its-next-dlc</guid><category>E3 2022</category><category>Humankind</category><category>Strategy</category><category>Historical</category><category>Amplitude Studios</category><category>Summer Game Fest</category><category>Summer Game Fest 2022</category><category>SEGA</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/humankind-latin-america-dlc.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/humankind-latin-america-dlc.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/humankind-latin-america-dlc.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/humankind-latin-america-dlc.jpg" /> <a href="/games/humankind">Humankind</a> is adding six new cultures to its historical strategy roster with the arrival of its second paid DLC pack, Amplitude Studios have announced at tonight's Summer Game Fest.

This will explore the heritage of Latin America, letting players progress from the ancient era Caralans through to the Nazca, Taíno, Inca and contemporary Argentinians and Cubans. You needn't wait to dig in, either, as the Latin America pack is out right now on Steam and the Epic Games Store. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/humankind-is-heading-to-latin-america-for-its-next-dlc">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Sci-fi platformer sequel Flashback 2 is coming to PC this winter</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/sci-fi-platformer-sequel-flashback-2-is-coming-to-pc-this-winter</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CJ Wheeler</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 19:13:29 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/sci-fi-platformer-sequel-flashback-2-is-coming-to-pc-this-winter</guid><category>E3 2022</category><category>microids</category><category>Platformer</category><category>Flashback</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Story Rich</category><category>Flashback 2</category><category>Summer Game Fest</category><category>Summer Game Fest 2022</category><category>Science Fiction</category><category>paul cuisset</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/flashback-2-logo.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/flashback-2-logo.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/flashback-2-logo.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/flashback-2-logo.jpg" /> Crikey, one thing I never expected to see at tonight’s Summer Game Fest was a sequel to Delphine Software and U.S. Gold’s cinematic sci-fi platformer <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/topics/flashback">Flashback</a>, but there it was. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/flashback-2">Flashback 2</a> is coming from long-established French studio Microids, developers of the Syberia series.

Just ask the many thousands of players who missed a shot with a 90% success chance in one of their <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/xcom-2">XCOM</a> reboots. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/marvels-midnight-suns">Marvel’s Midnight Suns</a>, however, could be the Civilization studio’s biggest gamble yet. Not only is it their first game to mix substantial RPG elements into its tactical combat, but there’s nary a hit percentage in sight. In the four hours I spent playing the opening of Midnight Suns last week, I saw precisely one scenario that had any kind of per cent number attached to it – and that was booting a goon (100%) or Venom, one of the newly confirmed villains of the game (0%), off a rooftop. All your other attacks, represented here as a deck of cards, are guaranteed hits. It’s a strategic evolution I’ll talk about in a second, but this switch-up in approach isn’t the only part of Midnight Suns story that’s been subject to the whims of (mis)fortune. No sooner had Firaxis announced the game it <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/xcom-studios-marvel-superhero-game-midnight-suns-is-delayed">was delayed</a> in the snap of Thanos' fingers (from March to the second half of 2022, now <a href="/spider-man-venom-scarlet-witch-and-evil-hulk-join-marvels-midnight-suns">confirmed as October 7th</a> at tonight’s Summer Game Fest). But speaking to creative director Jake Solomon, the extra polishing time they set aside gave them an unexpected benefit.

Why have these heroes joined the dark side in Firaxis' new tactics RPG? Well, we'll be able to find out when the game launches on October 7th.

It was murderously punishing, with limited ammo and endless aliens making it important to seal up routes and activate sentry turrets. It was great! Well, SBTF finally left early access and launched in full over the weekend, so I returned today and oh no. I have grown so very old since 2015, and this game is now too much for me.

Entirely unrelatedly, I had Tile Cities installed for about a month before finding time to play it. Except, it's not unrelated at all. It's the game that Ostriv developer Yevheniy made while suffering through the invasion of Ukraine, "to switch my mind from death and destruction towards peace and creativity". I'd be recommending it for sure even if I hadn't found that out, because it's a terrific little game that's far more engaging than it looks. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/tile-cities-is-a-time-devouring-mini-gem-from-the-ostriv-dev">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>The Electronic Wireless Show episode 190: the best games that should be toys special</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-episode-190-the-best-games-that-should-be-toys-special</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Alice Bell</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-episode-190-the-best-games-that-should-be-toys-special</guid><category>#FatBlood</category><category>#BigOats</category><category>Indie</category><category>#ShergarsHeartSquad</category><category>The RPS Electronic Wireless show</category><category>Blockbuster</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/baldurs-gate-3-patch-seven-barbarian-3.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/baldurs-gate-3-patch-seven-barbarian-3.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/baldurs-gate-3-patch-seven-barbarian-3.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/baldurs-gate-3-patch-seven-barbarian-3.jpg" /> Despite Matthew almost wilfully misunderstanding the topic for this week's Electronic Wireless Show podcast, we manage to settle down and talk about the games we'd most like to have toy sets of. What game d'you think would be the best Lego set? Action figures? Obscure 80s and 90s toy? Oh, we have fun on this show. Diversions this week are predictably about toys we had as kid, including a very long sidebar about Mighty Max, and Matthew's reverse-engineered Boglin hatred derived from his sad childhood. We also have some obligatory Platty Joobs round-up chat, and there's an unintentionally difficult Cavern Of Lies this week, themed around Funko Pop, because any made up Funko Pop is indistinguishable from a real Funko Pop. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-episode-190-the-best-games-that-should-be-toys-special">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Prison Architect devs finally make it to space with The Last Starship</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/prison-architect-devs-finally-make-it-to-space-with-the-last-starship</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CJ Wheeler</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2022 13:58:29 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/prison-architect-devs-finally-make-it-to-space-with-the-last-starship</guid><category>Introversion Software</category><category>The Last Starship</category><category>Simulation</category><category>Survival & Crafting</category><category>Roguelike</category><category>Science Fiction</category><category>Management</category><category>Prison Architect</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/The-Last-Starship.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/The-Last-Starship.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/The-Last-Starship.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/The-Last-Starship.jpg" /> <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/prison-architect">Prison Architect</a> and <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/darwinia">Darwinia</a> developers Introversion Software have taken to <a href="https://twitter.com/IVSoftware/status/1534212071923011584">Twitter</a> to announce they’re working on a new spaceship management game, The Last Starship.

Possibly dire wolves, or some other species of fantastical monster with surplus vowels in the name. Dreade Froste Beaste Wolfe. Anyway, one of them is made of decent people, developers who are fighting for better working conditions and making the best games they can under the circumstances. The other is Blizzard the organisation, a management structure seemingly incapable of making anything other than the worst decision possible in any given situation. So really, it's actually more like one wolf, and one flapping headless chicken (the chicken having also received a lot of <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/activision-blizzard-employees-stage-walkout-demand-ceos-removal">allegations of harrassment and discrimination</a>, and a <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/activision-blizzard-sued-by-california-over-alleged-culture-of-sexual-harassment-and-discrimination">lawsuit from the state of California</a>). <a href="/games/diablo-immortal">Diablo Immortal</a>, which is currently on open beta for PC and out properly for mobile (both for free), was largely made by the wolf, and it's all right to play!

It's being developed by Stunlock Studios, the folks behind arena-brawler Battlerite that lifts the fights from MOBAs like Dota 2 or League Of Legends and cuts away all the tedious build-up. So quite the departure then? Yes and no. V Rising strikes out as its own thing, but Stunlock's back catalogue definitely bleeds into its combat and exploration and easygoing attitude.

One player on the game's Reddit page has suggested that it would cost between $50k-$80k (around £39k-£64k) to fully max out a character in the free-to-play action RPG.

The Logitech G915 Lightspeed TKL is an ultra-slim, low profile mechanical keyboard that feels like the best laptop keyboard you've ever used. Lightspeed means Logitech's reliable 2.4GHz wireless, while 'TKL' stands for tenkeyless, a compact design that ditches the numpad for superior ergonomics and longer battery life. Altogether, it's a beautifully-designed mechanical keyboard, with a high price point being the only strike against it - and despite that, the full-size G915 has been our 'best wireless keyboard' recommendation for three years running. Today though, the G915 Lightspeed TKL is down to £109 after a £90 discount, making it an excellent time to upgrade your setup with a swanky new keyboard. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-laptop-like-logitech-g915-tkl-mechanical-keyboard-is-90-off">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Pick up Logitech's excellent G Pro X gaming headset for £57 (50% off)</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/pick-up-logitechs-excellent-g-pro-x-gaming-headset-for-57-50-off</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Will Judd</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2022 21:22:25 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/pick-up-logitechs-excellent-g-pro-x-gaming-headset-for-57-50-off</guid><category>PC</category><category>Headsets</category><category>Logitech</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/logitech-g-pro-x.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/logitech-g-pro-x.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/logitech-g-pro-x.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/logitech-g-pro-x.jpg" /> Logitech make some of the best gaming kit in the business, and right now their G Pro X wired gaming headset is going cheap on Amazon.

Up and down they go, covering distances seemingly impossible for their tiny, wiry frames, yet without coming to any harm whatsoever. It's an instinct the team at BlueTwelve Studio know all too well, having modelled their unnamed cat protagonist in their debut adventure game <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/stray">Stray</a> after a couple of their own feline companions - and colleagues, it turns out. "About 80% of the team are cat owners, or are being owned by a cat depending on how you see it," says producer Swann Martin-Raget. "We actually have two cats that are joining us almost everyday at the office and are working with us. The main character is based on one of the director's cats called Murtaugh. He's not an exact copy, but he's the main reference. We also have Oscar, who is a Sphynx, a furless cat, so he's a very good reference for animation because we can clearly see all the movements. We also have a lot of strays that we've adopted, but yeah, we definitely are huge cat lovers and these animals are fascinating to us." <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/stray-wants-to-show-theres-no-such-thing-as-curiosity-killed-the-cat">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Overdose may or may not be a new horror game from Hideo Kojima</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/overdose-may-or-may-not-be-a-new-horror-game-from-hideo-kojima</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CJ Wheeler</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2022 15:16:52 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/overdose-may-or-may-not-be-a-new-horror-game-from-hideo-kojima</guid><category>Stealth</category><category>Horror</category><category>Hideo Kojima's Overdose</category><category>Margaret Qualley</category><category>Kojima Productions</category><category>Death Stranding</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/20200928232243_1.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/20200928232243_1.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/20200928232243_1.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/20200928232243_1.jpg" /> There’s rumblings that Hideo Kojima and his studio Kojima Productions are developing a new horror game featuring actor Margaret Qualley, who portrayed Mama in Kojima’s postie simulator <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/death-stranding">Death Stranding</a>.

I'm going to do my absolute best to tell you about <a href="/games/the-quarry">The Quarry</a> with no spoilers, but it will be hard because a lot of what marks it out as better and cleverer and funner than comparable horrorventure romps is all tangled up in the plot. It's an interactive story you control with split-second decisions and quick time events; it is mostly plot. Broadly, it is the story of a group of camp counselors, one night in a quarry-based summer camp, and how baffling organisational choice can lead to ruin. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-quarry-review">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Evil West's cowboy vampires mosey into town in September</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/evil-wests-cowboy-vampires-mosey-into-town-in-september</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CJ Wheeler</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2022 12:58:21 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/evil-wests-cowboy-vampires-mosey-into-town-in-september</guid><category>Focus Home Interactive</category><category>Fantasy</category><category>Evil West</category><category>Horror</category><category>Historical</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Hack & Slash</category><category>Flying Wild Hog</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/evil-west.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/evil-west.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/evil-west.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/evil-west.jpg" /> Well shucks pardner, Focus Entertainment are lassoing vampiric cowboy third-person action game <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/evil-west">Evil West</a> onto PC on September 20th. The tagline is “Evil never sleeps… but it bleeds”, which makes it sound like the undead really need to get some well-earned rest.

After finding success in 2012 with their breakout hit <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/chivalry-medieval-warfare">Chivalry: Medieval Warfare</a>, Torn Banner had gone on to compose the difficult second album <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/mirage-arcane-warfare">Mirage: Arcane Warfare</a> – an Arabian Nights-inspired take on Chivalry’s multiplayer melee combat. Mirage had not been as well-received as Chivalry, yet despite this stumbling block, the studio had found its feet again with <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/chivalry-2">Chivalry 2</a>, a souped-up sequel to their earlier work with more nuanced combat, bigger maps, and support for 64-player battles. It turns out that, while broadly correct, I wildly underestimated Torn Banner’s reversal of fortunes. In the five years between the launch of Mirage and Chivalry 2’s impending Steam release, Torn Banner has gone from a studio on the brink to being more successful than its leadership ever imagined. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/from-peasants-to-kings-the-making-of-chivalry-2">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>E3 is coming back for 2023 as a digital and in-person event</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/e3-is-coming-back-for-2023-as-a-digital-and-in-person-event</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CJ Wheeler</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2022 09:46:06 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/e3-is-coming-back-for-2023-as-a-digital-and-in-person-event</guid><category>E3 2022</category><category>FPS/Shooter</category><category>Platformer</category><category>Fantasy</category><category>Entertainment Software Association</category><category>Horror</category><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Fighting</category><category>Driving/Racing</category><category>Free-to-play</category><category>E3</category><category>E3 2023</category><category>Sports</category><category>Hack & Slash</category><category>Science Fiction</category><category>RPG</category><category>Blockbuster</category><category>Open World</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/E3-logo-edited_cesIkot.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/E3-logo-edited_cesIkot.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/E3-logo-edited_cesIkot.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/E3-logo-edited_cesIkot.jpg" /> It might have been cancelled entirely this year, but <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/topics/e3">E3</a> will be back as an in-person and digital event in 2023.

There's something of a power supply showdown right now, and no one knows who's gonna blink first. Newegg dropped their price on the EVGA Supernova 1000 G6 PSU to $140, and Amazon followed suit soon after. That's $50 below the usual price of $190, and a historic low for this model. If you've got a high-end system - or you're planning to pick up a power-hungry next-gen graphics card when they launch later this year - then this is an awesome upgrade. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/get-a-1000w-evga-power-supply-for-140-normally-190">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Pick up an AMD RX 6700 XT graphics card for just £420</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/pick-up-an-amd-rx-6700-xt-graphics-card-for-just-420</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Will Judd</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jun 2022 16:20:59 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/pick-up-an-amd-rx-6700-xt-graphics-card-for-just-420</guid><category>PC</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/amd%20radeon%20rx%206700%20xt%20graphics%20card.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/amd%20radeon%20rx%206700%20xt%20graphics%20card.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/amd%20radeon%20rx%206700%20xt%20graphics%20card.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/amd%20radeon%20rx%206700%20xt%20graphics%20card.jpg" /> The Radeon RX 6700 XT is one of the best value options from AMD's Big Navi family of Radeon 6000 graphics cards, and now you can pick up a PowerColor Fighter 12GB model at its UK RRP - just £420.

Strictly speaking, the PC version of Diablo Immortal is in open beta, with only the mobile version launching as the finished article.

That's an awesome price for a full-size UK layout with this kind of tech on board. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/this-full-size-razer-optical-mechanical-keyboard-is-down-to-80-from-200">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Pick up an RX 6900 XT graphics card for £100 under RRP at Ebuyer</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/pick-up-an-rx-6900-xt-graphics-card-for-100-under-rrp-at-ebuyer</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Will Judd</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jun 2022 20:00:34 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/pick-up-an-rx-6900-xt-graphics-card-for-100-under-rrp-at-ebuyer</guid><category>PC</category><category>Graphics Cards</category><category>AMD</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/rx-6900-xt.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/rx-6900-xt.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/rx-6900-xt.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/rx-6900-xt.jpg" /> High-end graphics cards are getting more affordable, and AMD's top-end* RX 6900 XT is now available at £100 below the model's UK RRP.

Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written one of these <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/topics/letter-from-the-editor">Letters From The Editor</a>. Things have been… manic, to say the least. Manic in the traditional ‘busy’ sense (hello Elden Ring, PAX, V Rising and now notE3 planning), but also in the ‘man, there are so many cool things I want to talk to you about but aren’t quite ready to announce yet’ sense. I’ve been on the cusp of writing about these things every single month <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/letter-from-the-editor-07">since, err, March</a>, but then something falls through, the weeks go by, and we’re back to square one again. So I’m sorry about that, I really am. What I’m writing to you about today still isn’t one of those exciting things, unfortunately, but it is nonetheless very important. When we relaunched our RPS Supporter Programme last year, we did so on June 17th, which means its one-year anniversary is just around the corner. It also means that those of you who signed up for our yearly supporter tier will be coming to the end of your subscription soon, and I wanted to explain a little bit about the renewal process as it’s… err, a bit convoluted. Sorry again about that. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/letter-from-the-editor-08">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Ripout is a co-op horror FPS that's a bit like a roguelike Doom 3</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ripout-is-a-co-op-horror-fps-thats-a-bit-like-a-roguelike-doom-3</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Ed Thorn</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jun 2022 15:45:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ripout-is-a-co-op-horror-fps-thats-a-bit-like-a-roguelike-doom-3</guid><category>Ripout</category><category>FPS/Shooter</category><category>Roguelike</category><category>Indie</category><category>Pet Project Games</category><category>Preview</category><category>Indiescovery</category><category>3D Realms</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/RIPOUT-Demo-Soldier-Close.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/RIPOUT-Demo-Soldier-Close.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/RIPOUT-Demo-Soldier-Close.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/RIPOUT-Demo-Soldier-Close.jpg" /> Over the past few weeks I've sampled so many retro-styled FPSes, I'd class it as a form of training. I'm now attuned to their look, their pacing, their good and bad points. So, it came as no surprise when I found myself testing out the closed alpha of yet another of their ilk: <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/ripout">Ripout</a>, an upcoming sci-fi horror FPS that's very <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/doom-3">Doom 3</a>. What's nice is that vidbud Liam joined me! Both because he's a fan of the <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/best-fps-games">FPS</a> genre and to be present with a jar in hand, lest I crumbled into dust. Thankfully this didn't happen and we had a pretty swell time, I'd say. It's early days for the game but there's potential there. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ripout-is-a-co-op-horror-fps-thats-a-bit-like-a-roguelike-doom-3">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>GOG's Summer Sale kicks off with Alien Isolation going DRM-free at 75% off</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/gogs-summer-sale-kicks-off-with-alien-isolation-going-drm-free-at-75-off</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CJ Wheeler</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jun 2022 15:24:43 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/gogs-summer-sale-kicks-off-with-alien-isolation-going-drm-free-at-75-off</guid><category>Stealth</category><category>Horror</category><category>Sanitarium</category><category>Story Rich</category><category>gog</category><category>Point and Click</category><category>Management</category><category>Comedy</category><category>Hack & Slash</category><category>Alien: Isolation</category><category>Science Fiction</category><category>GOG Summer Sale</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/Alien-Isolation-Ripley-Alien.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/Alien-Isolation-Ripley-Alien.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/Alien-Isolation-Ripley-Alien.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/Alien-Isolation-Ripley-Alien.jpg" /> CD Projekt have thrown the doors open on the <a href="https://adtr.co/GPzabK" rel="sponsored">GOG Summer Sale</a> today, and hiding in plain sight is Creative Assembly’s space survival horror <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/alien-isolation">Alien: Isolation</a>.

As development on his studio’s gutsy market game <a href="/games/space-warlord-organ-trading-simulator">Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator</a> was wrapping up at the end of last year, he tells me he remembers “just being really angry at the concept of the borders of the screen”. He was, by his own admission, in “a vague fugue state” at the time, having spent months immersed in Space Warlord’s black and green trading interfaces. But the feeling of having his game “chained to these walls” at the edge of his monitor proved to be a surprisingly powerful one - so much so that it spurred Nelson Jr and his team at Strange Scaffold to create an entirely new kind of game in the months leading up to Warlord’s release: <a href="/games/witch-strandings">Witch Strandings</a>. That's right. Taking cues from Hideo Kojima’s hiking postal sim <a href="/games/death-stranding">Death Stranding</a>, Witch Strandings is a game that not only asks what Sam Bridges’ cross-country cargo routes might look like if they were made with a fraction of Kojima’s development budget, but also how games can create experiences that are “larger than my screen,” says Nelson Jr. And the answer, it turns out, lies in your PC’s humble mouse. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/how-witch-strandings-is-moving-hideo-kojimas-strand-game-ideals-into-new-slightly-cursed-territory">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Survival horror game The Callisto Protocol is coming in December</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/survival-horror-game-the-callisto-protocol-is-coming-in-december</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jay Castello</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jun 2022 15:45:17 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/survival-horror-game-the-callisto-protocol-is-coming-in-december</guid><category>Striking Distance Studios</category><category>The Callisto Protocol</category><category>Horror</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/The-Callisto-Protocol_kqZO0qX.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/The-Callisto-Protocol_kqZO0qX.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/The-Callisto-Protocol_kqZO0qX.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/The-Callisto-Protocol_kqZO0qX.jpg" /> The developers of survival horror game <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/the-callisto-protocol">The Callisto Protocol</a> have announced that it'll be coming out in December, and revealed a new gameplay trailer to watch with the sound off through your fingers. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/survival-horror-game-the-callisto-protocol-is-coming-in-december">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>Cat simulator Stray will wander out into its cybercity in July</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/cat-simulator-stray-will-wander-out-into-its-cybercity-in-july</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jay Castello</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 03 Jun 2022 14:31:22 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/cat-simulator-stray-will-wander-out-into-its-cybercity-in-july</guid><category>Action Adventure</category><category>Annapurna Interactive</category><category>BlueTwelve Studio</category><category>Stray</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/Stray_KCcGrBY.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/Stray_KCcGrBY.jpg"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/Stray_KCcGrBY.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/Stray_KCcGrBY.jpg" /> <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/stray">Stray</a>, the game about being a little cat exploring around a big cybercity, has a release date - and it's soon!

By their powers combined we manage to create an absolutely nightmarish dystopian society where people live forever but cannot put more than four of the same thing in a line. It's bleak. Games should stay in games. Matthew continues the Wolfe Carlton saga, Nate is making a crayfish into a mini-model, and I have a cold. A regular cold! No funny business. Matthew also does a very hard Cavern Of Lies this week that honestly nearly has us. <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-electronic-wireless-show-episode-189-the-best-thing-from-a-game-you-want-in-real-life">Read more</a>]]></description></item><item><title>The Steam Deck's docking station has been delayed</title><link>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-steam-decks-docking-station-has-been-delayed</link><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jay Castello</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jun 2022 14:21:38 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-steam-decks-docking-station-has-been-delayed</guid><category>Steam Deck</category><category>Valve</category><media:content medium="image" type="image/jpeg" url="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/steam-deck-dock.png/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/steam-deck-dock.png"></media:content><description><![CDATA[<img src="https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/steam-deck-dock.png/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/steam-deck-dock.png" /> The <a href="https://preview.rockpapershotgun.com/topics/steam-deck">Steam Deck</a>'s docking station has been delayed, says Valve.
