What are we all playing this weekend?
Surprise, Friday WAP attack! No, I've (hopefully) not mucked up the time the WAPs are posted, as I did last time this particular RPSponsibility was trusted to me. It's a long weekend here in the UK thanks to the bank holidays around Easter. More time for playing games, in theory. Assuming you don't
Warren Spector's Thick as Thieves gets a bit less interesting as it ditches PvPvE for solo and co-op play
In the summer of last year, during Day of the Devs, immersive sim legend Warren Spector said that at his studio OtherSide Entertainment, "we don't play it safe. We take chances." He was talking about his upcoming game Thick as Thieves, a multiplayer immersive sim that's basically Thief, except other
Skyblivion isn't "dead in the water", the Oblivion remake mod's lead says, a recent call for extra hands is about maintaining "good momentum"
Earlier this week the team behind Oblivion remake mod Skyblivion put out a call for some "final" and "vital" veteran help to get their work over the line in 2026. Given the mod's delay late last year and the fairly lengthy list of roles the post on Nexus Mods cited the Skyblivion crew as looking to
Xenonauts 2 hits 1.0 after almost three years of early access and paves the way for mods galore
"The year is 2009," opens the 1.0 launch trailer for Xenonauts 2, a sentence that tickles me greatly considering the game's alternate future vibes. It presents a vision of the world that differed greatly from my actual experience of worrying about swine flu and whether or not Yu-Gi-Oh! was cool any
Mega Crit are working on three new Slay the Spire 2 modes, just don't place any bets on them all making it in
I've not had a punt at Slay the Spire 2 myself yet, I've been too busy coming up with an excuse for not having played the first one, but the general read I've got on it is "it's more Slay the Spire!" This can be interpreted much the same as a vote for Bart being a vote for anarchy, as far as I can t
Raise up the decapitated head of the goddess of love in a flower pot in the charmingly silly Tomak: Save the Earth Regeneration
I've never really been able to wrap myself around raising sim games such as the Princess Maker series. The framing of them feels like it could quite easily teeter over the edge into something uncomfortable, and in more modern entries such as Umamusume outright parasocial (and often exploitative). Bu
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor's upcoming DLC is bringing back the original's seasonally appropriate Egg Hunt mode
I think it's entirely possible that I have not known true happiness since going through the childhood experience of going to your local Easter egg hunt, and finding a facsimile of an egg you can later trade in for the chocolate variety hidden in the plainest of views (but you're five, so you proudly
Linux has gotten a 3% usage bump in a month, latest Steam hardware survey suggests - though, it's still miles off Windows
The latest Steam hardware survey cites Linux as accounting for over 5% of the install base. That's not a lot, and comes with the caveat of Valve's info gathering not being bulletproof, but it ia a good chunk higher than the OS's mark for the first two months of 2026. Read more
Pride precipitates a dizzying fall in Ascenders, a climbing game spin on Darkest Dungeon
Ascenders: Beyond The Peak is a new turn-based roguelite in which a bunch of alpine occultists try to recover cursed artefacts from Lovecraftian mountains, before the world ends. Lotta genre references and parallels there, so let me boil it down for you: this appears to be Darkest Dungeon plus gravi

Crimson Desert is now a survival game, thanks to this mod based on an alleged secret "food consequences" system
Are you having fun being Kliff MacDuff? How would you like to be Kliff MacDuff with an acute case of gastritis? It appears that open world RPG Crimson Desert has a secret "food consequence" system, cut during development. It offers 50 different "food skills" split across 15 categories, on top of the

After five hours with highly anticipated pirate survival game Windrose, I can see why it's one of Steam's most wishlisted games
You could lock me into a chest packed with pieces of eight then toss me into a churning sea of pirate games and I'd still tell you there aren't enough of them as I slowly sink toward Davy Jones' Locker. Whether it's Sea of Thieves, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, Monkey Island, or Sid Meier's Pirates,
PUBG's new co-op PvE mode, Xeno Point, offers a strange vision of a post-battle royale future
For readers of Eurogamer, it may have been a while since you last read much in depth about PUBG - or indeed PUBG Battlegrounds (redundant subtitle duly acknowledged by publisher Krafton) as it's now known in its post-Brendan Greene form. PUBG is now the brand, Battlegrounds the game, and specificall

Transfer Point is a modern adventure game made with 40-year-old software
One of the year's most intriguing games was developed using software first released 40 years ago. Transfer Point looks and plays like a classic Mac point-and-click adventure game, and there's a very good reason for that: It was developed using World Builder, a game creation tool first released in 19
Steam store "refresh" is out in beta now, enwidening images and adding infinite scrollage to the homepage
Valve have taken the wrenches to the homepage of the Steam store, with a design refresh now out in beta form. It's certainly an improvement if you're a fan of wider screenshots, infinitely scrolling pages, and/or having more details fired at your face when you hover over a game. Read more
Legends of the Round Table is an obsessively chivalric turn-based RPG with the atmosphere of an actual jousting tournament
Legends of the Round Table isn't just a turn-based RPG, it's an extravagant 13th century puppetshow with live medieval lute music and a boisterous, singing narrator you can all but visualise prancing around the stage, splashing mead over the less important courtiers. It's also a jousting experience

Marathon future patches will offer a "merciful option" to players, and will nerf its strongest gadget at long last
Marathon's next few balance updates look to be massive overhauls for the extraction shooter's combat experience. These include some "secret" changes which will aid solos and bring a more merciful option for those with some lingering Arc Raiders kindness in their heart. Read more
