Developed by Tatnell’s one-man studio Wonderscope and published by Team 17, Hokko Life delivers you to the charming town of Hokko, after your character falls asleep on a train. Rather than trying a find a way out of the town, you stay, and help the anthropomorphic animal villagers with errands in their picturesque home. It really is pretty too, I can think of worse places to be stranded. When I first played it, I spent a good amount of time just wandering around Hokko....

For starters, here’s some excellent Outer Wilds and Sayonara Wild Hearts designs for your perusal. Now, I couldn’t very well write something like this without acknowledging all of the fan crossovers between Animal Crossing and Doom, so to honour the trend, these talented players have created some variants of the Doom logo and emblazoned them onto a cap. If only we could see Isabelle walking around rocking one of these....

Annapurna promise “reveals, announcements, and much more” at this showcase. Last year was the indie publisher’s first ever event of their own, where we got closer looks at Angel Matrix’s upcoming quickfire FPS Neon White, Beethoven and Dinosaur’s music-themed platformer The Artful Escape, time-looping expansion Outer Wilds: Echoes Of The Eye, and the decade-in-the-works Storyteller from Daniel Benmergui. Annapurna also announced that they would be publishing games in partnership with Outerloop, Ivy Road, and No Code....

Sharing his thoughts on Twitter, lead game designer Carlos Pineda doesn’t reckon Lifeline needs a buff - but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room to tidy up her kit (cheers, PCGamesN). To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings — Carlos Pineda (@pinedsman) May 15, 2020 As an on-again, off-again Lifeline main, I get where he’s coming from. With a small hitbox and solid abilities, Lifeline has never been bad (in fact, as Pineda’s data shows, she’s among the most popular Legends in high-level play)....

Apex Legends tips | Apex Legends Arena mode | Apex Legends best characters | Best loadout in Apex Legends | Apex Legends attachments | Apex Legends Armor & Gear | Low Profile and Fortified in Apex Legends Apex Legends Peacekeeper overview The Peacekeeper is an extremely powerful close-quarters shotgun, even after its Season 9 nerf. It’s a strong contender for the best shotgun in Apex Legends right now, thanks to its high damage, and its ability to greatly tighten the spread of your next shot after aiming down sights for a short while....

What do Valve have to do with that fight between Apple and Epic? Not much, say Valve. Epic and Apple have been preparing to battle each other in court since last August, when Epic added a payment method to Fortnite on iOS that bypassed Apple’s normal 30% cut of all sales on their service. Apple immediately removed Fortnite from the app store; Epic immediately released an ironic animated short and filed suit; and the two companies have been gearing up for court and sniping at one another ever since....

And “play” is key. Because there’s playing a game, in the operational sense, and then there’s playing inside of one. If Agent 47 is Ian Hitman, so must our masked protagonist be Gary Aragami. Gary is, as far as I’m concerned, playing dress up as a ninja, and having the grandest time doing it. Gary’s contemporaries talk of personal codes and honour. Gary teleports from roof to rafter in a Kitsune mask, drop-kicking guards, and gently whispering, “lol you just got knocked out by a fox m8,” into their unconscious earholes....

With Valhalla’s big 1.1.0 update that came out this week, XP boosts made their way into the store. For the price of 1000 Helix Credits (around £9/$10), they’ll permanently boost your XP gain by 50%, or a slightly pricier one will double the gold you earn as well. “As more and more post-launch content becomes available, we want to give the option to players to advance their progression,” Ubisoft told Game Informer....

Assassin’s Creed this time stars a Viking chieftain come to build a settlement England, who seems to be neither Assassin nor Templar or tied up this that mess at all? But our Eivor, in male or female form, has a knife on their wrist so I guess that’s good enough. Oh hey look, as if by chance, Alice Bee just posted her impressions of a preview version she played. She says it “isn’t really an AC game, but it’s still great....

In her mammoth Baldur’s Gate 3 preview, Alice Bee gets into a few of the shenanigans that Vincke claims players will be able pull off. As he showed off in the PAX East panel, Vincke says you can stack movable objects in the environment to build makeshift stairs or barricades. You can throw your footwear if you need to. You can throw bottles, though what’s inside will spill out, leaving you to contend with a surface on the ground of whatever you’ve foolishly (or perhaps tactically) discarded....

Granted, Larian seem to have always treated August as an optimistic estimate for BG3’s early access debut. So it’s not too shocking to read that, unfortunately, we’ll have to a wait a wee bit longer for our romp through the Forgotten Realms. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings — Larian Studios (@larianstudios) August 4, 2020 As the tweet suggests, we might not be getting Baldur’s Gate itself this month, but we should at least get a concrete release date during an upcoming livestream on August 18th....

The Smol Wars is a very simple mod. A single file, even. Just a change of numbers that reduces every character in Bannerlord down to 65% of their original size. That’s it. There’s no shortage of silly Bannerlord mods, but something about the directness of this just got me. The fact that everyone moves at the same pace, so their running animations are sped up like an old silent film....

First up, we’ve got Webster Mackay. He’s a soldier alright. And he’s one equipped with a grappling hook that lets him get up to those high spots and backstab any camping snipers. He also has “increased agility” when aiming down sights, or ziplining, which should make him a go-to for folks who like running and gunning. Honestly, he’ll be my go-to. You can’t beat a grappling hook. Then you’ve got Maria Falck, the game’s healing class....
