Hyper Light Breaker runs very badly on PC and Steam Deck, but FPS improvements are coming

Hyper Light Breakersure looks neat, right? Well, that neatness comes at a steep,steepperformance cost, as the game is extremely hard to run. The apparent lack of performance optimization isn’t the only problem, either, as the game doesn’t even have a proper graphics settings menu to begin with. I really do hate to rag on the developer Heart Machine for this, but the fact of the matter is thatHyper Light Breakerhasn’t gotten off on the right foot....

Impressions: Defense Grid: Containment

Tower defense on steroids Defense Grid: Containmentcame about from a Kickstarter campaign intended to raise enough money to createDefense Grid 2. Sadly, Hidden Path Entertainment didn’t get the funding needed to create a full sequel to this amazing tower defense game, but the studio did manage to bring in enough to make some new DLC. Containmenthas the same amount of content asYou Monster, but feels bigger to me. The maps are more interesting, the challenges are harder, and it just feels like a bigger addition toDefense Grid....

It’s time for an end of 2019 amiibo collection status update

Report in Two months agoI pondered if amiibo collectors were still trying to go after everySmashline figure and got a pretty explosive response. I aimed small. Now we’re looking at the whole shebang. Responses for theSmashquestion, withUltimatenow in the equation, were mixed. Multiple people were “only missing a few,” while many gave up asUltimatewas announced. Several were “tapped out,” and hadn’t purchased amiibo since theSamusReturnsgeneration in mid-2017. I’m still in it!...

Just Add Water poll asks what you want next for Oddworld

Studio seeks fan input It’s been terrific seeing Just Add Water carry theOddworldfranchise into the future.

Kentucky Route Zero Act IV is out right the heck now

The wait is over Over three years ago, the surreal adventure gameKentucky Route Zerodrifted out into the open road. Its dreamlike portrayal of rural America is something I and many others have been waiting to jump back into for quite some time. Developer Cardboard Computer’s choice to go with an episodic format and long lull between iterations had people even wondering ifAct IV would ever exist. As of a couple hours ago, Act IV is an actual, tangible thing (as tangible as you can be on the Internet) and you can download it right now....

MidBoss looks like a rad take on roguelikes

I’ll be keeping an eye on this one The premise ofMidBossis a common one (a weak imp wants to be top dog), but the way they actually reach that goal, gameplay-wise, sounds dope. The concept is that you’ll be constantly possessing strong foes throughout the game, as you embark upon a roguelike adventure. Yes it’s randomly generated each playthrough, which might not appeal to a lot of you folks out there, but the posession element mixed with traps and save-deleting potions sound awesome....

Most of Destiny 2: Into the Light will be sunset with The Final Shape

From the very onset of its announcement,Destiny 2: Into the Lightfelt just a tad too good to be true. Anew social space, the much-toutedboss rush mode, afan-favourite all-black Shader,awesome guns… With the latest TWID, then, Bungie confirmed that much of this is temporary. More specifically, Bungie has clarified that a fairly substantial portion ofDestiny 2: Into the Lightwill leave the game with the release ofThe Final ShapeDLC early in June. According to what we now know,everythingincluded as part ofInto the Lightwill be effectively sunset on June 4, with only the baseline Brave weapons — not theholo-foil ones, mind — and the Onslaught activity itself sticking around for Year 10....

New costumes, history map, and more coming to Fire Emblem Warriors on November 16

Give me that free content, baby Nintendo has announced that an update will be coming toFire Emblem Warriorson November 16. Much like its predecessorHyrule Warriors, the update will contain free content available to all owners of the game. All sorts of additions, both big and small, will be included in the update.

NHL 16 pegs Anaheim Ducks as Stanley Cup champs

Not worth winning if you can’t win big It’s not exactly a leap of faith, butNHL 16has used its magical season simulating video game powers to predict that the Anaheim Ducks will win the 2016 Stanley Cup. By most accounts, Anaheim enters the season as the Western Conference favorite, so you could maybe say that picking them is the predictable prediction. If Anaheim’s going to win, it needs to happen soon....
