Epic Games Store’s next few free games will require two-factor authentication
If you want to claim the next three weeks of freebies on the Epic Games Store, you’ll first need to enable two-factor authentication on your account to strengthen its security. Two-factor authentication is easy to set up and use so it’s not a bother, though it is curious that they’re only requiring this until May […]
Offworld Trading Company devs launching Old World into early access in May
Mohawk Games, the studio led by Civilization IV designer Soren Johnson, today announced an early access release date for Old World. Next Tuesday, May 5th is when we’ll get to try the historical 4X strategy game they’ve been working on since Offworld Trading Company. If you too first thought “Wait, is this not Amazon’s MMORPG?” […]
Fire up your removal van, Moving Out launches today
Grab your friends and start throwing boxes out the window because Moving Out is here. It’s a couch co-op game in which you will literally have to cooperatively carry couches (amongst many other items of furniture) and chuck them on your moving van as fast as you can. It’s a fun and frantic Overcooked-like with […]
Gears Tactics is out now with a chainsawing take on XCOM
An XCOM-style squad tactics game spun off from Gears Of War isn’t a game I’d expect to be particularly good, but Gears Tactics launched today and what I hear is: it is particularly good. Our Nate was dead impressed, declaring in his Gears Tactics review that “it’s good to the extent where, as risky as […]
Destiny 2 having special merch unlocked by in-game accomplishments is neat
As much as I think Destiny 2‘s Guardian Games is a disappointing grind-o-rama, I must concede that the event’s merch is cool. For each of the three classes, Bungie are selling a little supporter’s pack with a scarf, a felt pennant, and an enamel pin. I don’t buy merch but even I will concede that’s […]
Sea Of Thieves has a great bug that flings ships into the air, so I rated their techniques
Sea Of Thieves has a very good bug that can make ships spontaneously yeet themselves into the sky. Sometimes it occurs at outposts, presumably when another player’s boat is trying to spawn exactly where yours is docked. Other times it happens when you ram your ship into something and get it a bit stuck. The […]
The Lego Lord Of The Rings and Hobbit games are back on Steam
After an unexpected journey away from Steam, both Lego Lord Of The Rings and Lego The Hobbit have arrived back, safe and sound. They were delisted in January 2019, presumably for annoying license reasons. Now they are back, presumably for slightly less annoying license reasons. I’m vaguely irritated that licence Hokey Cokey is the reason […]
Disco Elysium is now on Mac too
Delightful detective RPG Disco Elysium now has a official Mac version, inviting more folks to bumble disgracefully through a murder mystery in a strange seaside city. No more fiddling about with Bootcamp and that. For all newcomers, Mac or Windows, it has a 25% discount on Steam for the next few days too.
