A time when I'd grind solo-queue most evenings until 3am, in a bid to climb the ranks ever higher. To what end? My own personal satisfaction, I suppose. I'd eventually hit Master (let me brag just once, okay) and then a few months later, I applied for a job at Gamer Network writing guides about Overwatch's intricacies.

I might even come to love it, considering it's already so enjoyable even with a few years of early access left (a fact I forgot until I reached a "work in progress" marker several hours in).</p> <p>You climb a tower and splat monsters and culty magic nerds. You loot, and avoid traps, chug red liquids, and occasionally die and have to start again. But I enjoyed every moment, and never once hit the usual aggravating points that push me out of the genre.

Turns out, the most DPS-efficient noise is continually blowing to trill my lips like a child pretending to be a car. Weird RPG does have some fun ideas but sadly, it's too mundane an ARPG to be truly weird—or good.

Based on the reveal trailer, it certainly seemed to be riffing on several of the same themes as Housemarque's challenging PlayStation exclusive - what with its lone female scientist stranded on an alien planet schtick, third-person shooting, and big eerie alien monsters after her etc. - so when I saw it was part of this month's Steam Next Fest demo bonanza, I knew I had to give it a try. And while it certainly captures the same kind of atmosphere as Returnal, I'm sorry to say that's about as far as the comparison goes, as the rest of Scars Above is a much slower, more traditional kind of space action game. </p> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li> <div class="summary" data-type="article" data-article-type="news" data-premium="false" data-size="default"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221009123056/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/modern-warfare-2-gets-new-launch-trailer-three-weeks-before-launch" class="link_overlay" title="Modern Warfare 2 gets new launch trailer, three weeks before launch"></a> <span class="symbol"></span> <div class="thumbnail"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20221009123056im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-remake.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-remake.jpg" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20221009123056im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-remake.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/690x388/format/jpg/quality/80/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-remake.jpg 1x, https://web.archive.org/web/20221009123056im_/https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-remake.jpg/BROK/thumbnail/1380x776/format/jpg/quality/80/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-remake.jpg 2x" loading="lazy" class="thumbnail_image" alt="A picture of Captain Price from Modern Warfare 2's remake." width="690" height="388"> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="details"> <p class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221009123056/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/modern-warfare-2-gets-new-launch-trailer-three-weeks-before-launch"> Modern Warfare 2 gets new launch trailer, three weeks before launch </a> </p> <p class="strapline">We weren’t expecting you so early, Captain Price</p> </div> <div class="metadata"> <span class="author">CJ Wheeler</span> <time class="published_at" datetime="2022-10-06 16:15:59.183689+00:00"> 2 days ago </time> <p class="comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221009123056/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/modern-warfare-2-gets-new-launch-trailer-three-weeks-before-launch#comments" rel="nofollow"> 4 </a> </p> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p> A launch trailer for <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221009123056/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2">Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2</a> has popped onto the Internet a full three weeks before the military shooter’s launch date of October 28th.

Within just the last few years, we've not only had many releases, but an impressive proportion of well-designed, enjoyable games made with obvious care and enthusiasm. Things, in a word, are good. And yet I keep coming back to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221009123056/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/ostriv">Ostriv</a>, and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221009123056/https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/workers-resources-soviet-republic">Workers & Resources</a>.
