But, it’s a super adorable octopus that may have some kitten-like properties, and more importantly, it’s the protagonist ofAirscape: The Fall of Gravity. Airscapeis an action platformer that, as the name implies, has a lot to do with gravity. It’s the central theme of the game, as each level rotates and pulls the octopus in such a way as to add a bit of uncertainty to the standard platforming mechanics....

Have you ever seen the plumes of smoke flowing up into the sky while exploring Palworld? Chances are you have and if you’ve followed the plume, you’ve discovered a Syndicate Thug camp. These camps offer a chance to ‘adopt’ Pals while taking out some Thugs in the process. Over the last two weeks, I’ve marked down every Syndicate Thug camp that I’ve had the luck of finding. Thanks to thePalworldMapGenie map, I can finally say that I’ve found every one of them....

All around pleasant vibes in this free pack-in game Astro Bot Rescue Missionwas a shockingly great 3D platfomer for PlayStation VR that not enough people played. Now, the little bot is back withAstro’s Playroomfrom Japan Studio and Team Asobi. During Sony’s PlayStation 5 showcase today, Astro Bot hopped out of a DualSense controller, and that should’ve been my first clue thatAstro’s Playroomis a pack-in. The game will be “pre-loaded on PS5” and each of the four platformer worlds is “based on PS5’s console components....

Here are some recommendations for starting leaders that you can take into the endgame. How leader choices work (including your first one) After completing the tutorial (upon earning two sigils), players will be given the chance to pick a random leader from a choice of three (I’m getting flashbacks toHearthstoneBattlegrounds)....

Since its initial launch in October 2022, one of the biggest changes fromOverwatchtoOverwatch 2was cutting team sizes from 6v6 to 5v5. Removing one tank from both sides completely changed the dynamic of quickplay and competitive play, with overall mixed reception from the community.

A recentDirector’s TakefromOW2director Aaron Keller dove deep into this topic, discussing why Blizzard shifted from 6v6 to 5v5 and their thoughts on the original team sizes....

From now until Jun 07, 2025, The Behemoth is letting Steam users download and playCastle Crashers,BattleBlock Theater, andPit Peoplefor free on PC.“If you need a family activity or want to hang with friends online, we got you.” The studio isn’t “fully” giving these games out – they’re free to play for a limited time – but the gesture is very much appreciated while we’re home-bound, and you can also buy all three on sale if needed....

Not what happens when you heat an egg yolk, but just go with it Did you know that Leonardo da Vinci discovered MetaMatter? Well, not in real life, but in the universe ofConflickshe did. It turns out all it takes is to separate a chicken egg’s yolk from its albumen, and to heat up the yolk. When I do that, it makes mayonnaise, but when da Vinci does it, he creates a source of energy that propels the development of technology much faster than culture can keep up with....
