If you need a change of pace in your procedurally generated death dungeons, look no further than this crafty Spelunky 2 Dare Challenge Bot. Spelunky 2 does have its own Daily Challenge mode that serves up all players with the same level seed each day, but perhaps you’ve gotten quite good at those. Or perhaps, like
PC
Getting a PlayStation 5 is hard for those that missed out on the pre-order spurts or don’t have an army of bots at their disposal, but it looks like it’s even hard for those that managed to get a successful order in. Among a slew of mishaps (including mine being stolen right off of my
This is the RPS Advent Calendar, in which we reveal one of our favourite PC games of 2020 on each day. Head back to the calendar to open another door. It’s day six in our countdown of the best games of 2020, and if you fail to open this door, what lies behind it might
The Game Awards kick off next week and with it comes the celebration of our favorite titles of the year as well as a few surprises for fans to enjoy. Geoff Keighley has been dropping teaser after teaser, including the confirmation that we’ll be getting a new look at Dragon Age 4 from BioWare following an
There can only be one Dragon Quest XI: Echoes Of An Elusive Age. At least, that seems to be the going policy for publishers Square Enix, who have delisted the existing version of the RPG from Steam and other storefronts in favour of this week’s new definitive “S” edition. Sure, while it’s probably less confusing
The Last of Us Part II director Neil Druckmann has been promoted to co-president of Naughty Dog. Current president Evan Wells announced the news today on the company’s blog. The promotion came during an all-studio meeting where director of operations Alison Mori and co-director of programming Christian Gyrling were also promoted to vice presidents. Druckmann
There’s such a preposterous number of movies and tv shows currently being made based on video games that I’d honestly forgotten about Metal Gear Solid. A Snake-based motion picture is in the works and has finally decided on its face. Oscar Isaac, recently of Star Wars sequel series fame, will be playing your guy sneaky
Sometimes, you just need to terraform a planet. In Per Aspera, you can do exactly that, on Mars. In this world, many have tried to make the red planet a livable place - and all have failed. If simulation games are your jam and you have a PC, Per Aspera might be a title of interest. Oh,
After a long and bumpy road, two companions have this week chosen to leave BioWare’s adventuring party. Casey Hudson, the project director for Mass Effect before becoming the studio’s general manager, has departed the company after 23 years along with Dragon Age executive producer Mark Darrah. Those are some big departures, but BioWare insists they’ll
Shiren The Wanderer is one of those games that paved the way for modern roguelikes and roguelites to blossom into a major genre. 2020 alone gave us rogueish gems like Hades, Monster Train, and more. Now, you can head back to a game that was previously only available in North America on the PlayStation Vita,
The Freelance Police are back on the case once again in a remastered version of Sam & Max Save The World, which you may remember as Sam & Max Season One from back when Telltale Games released it in 2006. Some former Telltalers got back together to shine up their old work, which you can
The Xbox Series X boasts to be the most powerful console on the market, with the S being impressive in its own right. While that’s phenomenal, neither the Xbox Series nor the PlayStation 5 have a solid launch lineup, though backwards compatibility offers a reprieve from the boredom of nothing to play. That, or you
At least, that’s the best I can describe what just happened in Fortnite‘s superhero-packed finale for Chapter 2, Season 4. The cinematic climax to an Avengers-themed period of murder island antics just wrapped up with a wonderfully bizarre dogfighting section, hurling players straight into the planet-killer’s tummy before pulling the servers offline to prepare for
A new Nintendo Switch update is now live and while it offers a ton of helpful new tweaks, including an easier way to share content. The only downside is subjective, some players are tagging Twitter online with complaints about how the Nintendo Shop Online icon now stands out. The biggest highlight from the most recent
Might And Delight of Shelter series fame have been working on the lovely online game Book Of Travels that they call a TMO or “tiny multiplayer online” game which I very much hope becomes a thing. They’ve just revealed a whole half hour of gameplay narrated by creative director Jakob Tuchten who, much to my delight,
Doom Eternal joined some of this year’s most stellar gaming experiences in The Game Awards’ Game of the Year category. Despite FPS experiences being one of the most popular genres on a yearly basis, Doom Eternal added to the formula with intense, satisfying, and fast-paced gunplay. Now that same acclaimed title is coming to Nintendo Switch
Black Friday 2020 is over for another year, but Cyber Monday is still to come, giving avid deals hunters one last chance to bag themselves a PC gaming bargain. To help you navigate the sheer number of Cyber Monday PC gaming deals happening right now, we’ve put together this RPS-approved round-up of all the very
Between hidden arcade machines and Ronald Reagan’s war crimes, Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War quite badly wants to evoke the 80s. But it doesn’t look like the 80s, so much as it looks like a high-budget videogame made in the late 2010s. Fortunately, you can fix that with an easter egg hidden in
The Fall Guys stooges at Mediatonic this week announced they’ve found a spot for new studio in Leamington Spa, which I suppose means they can go ahead and open one. They initially announced plans for a studio in the English spa town back in February, but they hadn’t created a gaming sensation at that point
During yesterday’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Pokémon Company International revealed its 25th anniversary logo. Accompanied by a giant Pikachu parade balloon, a dance troupe of Pikachu and trainers performed a short routine to an instrumental version of “Gotta Catch ‘Em All” before unveiling the logo that you see above. While we already know that
