Helldivers 2's latest patch delivers a free cape and lets you rock the spotlight before getting zapped by a Leviathan

Helldivers 2 just got a fresh patch, and it's come with a free cape (not a review bomb cape, mind you) that folks who took part in the battle for Super Earth can wear to prove they played a part in the victory. Stick it on your back, and maybe think about showing it off in the glitzy glow of the spotlights the patch adds to Leviathans. Seriously, I promise doing that last bit won't precede the flying squid things immediately zapping you to death. Ok, maybe it will. Read more

Playing Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time on Switch 2 reminds me of one of GTA Online's greatest quirks

One of my favourite elements in big-budget video games is something you might choose to term Johnny on the Spot Syndrome. This syndrome, which I have just invented, takes its name from a minor character in GTA Online. Read more

Dune: Awakening review

A survival game lives or dies on the personality of its world. Subnautica is a wonder because its world is a wonder. Abiotic Factor is a cracking farce because its world is a lab staffed by idiots. Dune: Awakening, meanwhile, has the fortune of coming with a pre-packaged world, already built by scores of sci-fi novels and movies full of beautiful scowlers. Developers Funcom therefore have existing rules to play with, a culture and geography which is basically ready-made for a video game. It's almost cheating. Sandstorms rage, forcing you indoors. Sandworms give chase, prompting you to run or bike faster across the desert. Military ships scan the dunes at night with spotlights, and launch tough enemy patrols if you get caught. Everything here already lends itself to the kind of adventurous fantasy any hardy video gameser would like. Read more

110 games in an hour makes this anti-showcase the perfect antidote to the Summer's assorted Keighleybollocks

Beta test site and small game curator Alpha Beta Gamer have put out their Games To Get Excited About 2025 showcase, and (salt to taste, granted) it's exactly what it says on the tin. 110 curated trailers in an hour and five minutes, organised and timestamped by genre, with no paid adverts and no teeth-grindingly awful skits. They've also made a point to not include any cinematic trailers, although I haven't watched the whole thing yet. They might be liars. Are you liars, Alpha Beta Gamer? Wait, don't answer that. I've seen Labyrinth like fifty billion times, I know how this ends up. Read more

The AAA games industry is a casino roguelite in this "chaotic, hubris-fueled" management sim

"Casino roguelike" AAA Simulator's Steam page has a demo, and also a boxout description I imagine I'd find extremely trite (in a Brewdog Punk IPA, Outer Worlds anti-capitalism-as-a-feature type way) if I hadn't already read designer Nic Vasudeva-Barkdull's much more convincing and considered thoughts on putting the game together. This is the nature of trying to sell a game in a couple of sentences, admittedly. Read more

Pentiment and Fallout: New Vegas designer Josh Sawyer isn't usually a fan of RPG romances, but thinks Cyberpunk 2077 nailed it: 'If I were gonna base romances on anything, I'd probably do something like that'
