We saw a story trailer for Jumplight Odyssey when it was announced last year, highlighting its sweet 1970s anime vibe inspired by Star Blazers/Space Battleship Yamato. Now, developer League of Geeks is giving us a closer look at the space-based roguelite’s gameplay.
This pre-alpha footage shows several areas of the SDF Catalina being managed cutaway-style, from the Captain sitting on the important big chair on the bridge, to a greenhouse where food is farmed, a med bay for the injured, a hangar deck where starfighters are crewed and deployed, a kitchen where food is served, and a lounge where the crew relax by playing chess and reading books.
There are also pigs on board. I guess the Pigs in Space skits from The Muppet Show were accurate? Sometimes the hogs are just hanging out receiving belly rubs, though there’s also one chowing down in the mess hall while a crew member sobs, presumably because the porker’s pigging out on their food.
There’s definitely a Sims-esque element to things like that, as well as the blushing crew members flirting with each other and the one guy just casually chilling at a water cooler while somebody else struggles with an entire room on fire a short distance away. I expect we’ll see a certain amount of emergent silliness as the ship’s crew go about their routines, though presumably they’ll be able to go to the toilet without being told to.
I’m into the way people casually swim through zero-gravity areas of the ship, as well as the way crew you dislike are dealt with. Apparently we’ll be able to promote those who please us as well as firing those who don’t, in between managing resources, repairing damage the ship took as it escaped from the villainous Zutopans, and keeping morale high.
We spoke to Trent Kusters, co-founder of developer League of Geeks, back when Jumplight Odyssey was first announced. “Essentially it’s a roguelite colony sim,” he said. “It’s kind of like FTL meets Two Point Hospital, with a little RimWorld thrown in there with story generation stuff. You’re jumping from system to system, and in between you’re repairing your ship, you’re retooling it for that particular system, extracting resources so you can make the next jump quickly enough to evade the Zutopans and make your way to the Forever Star.”
I look forward to taking over the SDF Catalina myself, and finding out whether I’m more of a Jean-Luc Picard or a Zapp Brannigan. Jumplight Odyssey has a Steam page (opens in new tab), and will be out in early access later this year.
During IGN Fan Fest, Lies of P, the Bloodborne-esque soulslike reimagining of The Adventures of Pinocchio being made by Round8, got a new trailer and a release window: August, 2023.
That puts Lies of P up against two RPGs. Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 is scheduled to leave early access in the same month, and Sea of Stars, a retro Nintendo-style prequel to The Messenger, is due in August as well.
This latest trailer shows the ruined, plague-ridden city of Krat, where ropy beasts stalk past fallen automatons and puppets. As one of the slimy monsters combines itself with a mechanical figure, reassembling to form something that will probably be a boss we have to fight, a scarred man (who is called Simon Manus according to the Lies of P account on Twitter (opens in new tab)) siphons blue energy into an occult device.
How all this connects to a story about a wooden puppet who wants to be a real boy isn’t entirely obvious. The blue energy could well be a reference to The Fairy With Turquoise Hair who finally gives Pinnochio his wish, and Simon Manus might be an analogue of the theatre master Mangiafuoco (renamed Stromboli in the Disney version). Or not. Maybe Lies of P won’t have much to do with the story that inspired it beyond a few names.
One thing we do know is that telling lies will be important. Inverting the original story’s message, a tagline for Lies of P declares, “You must always lie to others if you hope to become human.” The way you lie can apparently differ, with “interconnected procedural quests that play out depending on how you lie.” In classic videogame choice-and-consequence fashion, which fibs you decide to tell will help determine which ending you get.
What with being a living doll, P is able to swap parts of his body in and out to change up his skill set. Weapons can also be combined to make new ones, with research required to find the best combos.
We saw some extended gameplay of Lies of P last year, which highlighted just how soulslike this particular soulslike is, with even its animations and interface resembling those of Bloodborne to a high degree. Not to mention the questgivers who talk through windows, and the chuckle NPCs love to finish their dialogue with.

It’s a great weekend for trying big games for free, with temporary free weekends currently going on for the excellent superhero strategy game/friendship simulator Midnight Suns, as well as Age of Empires 4 and Far Cry 6.
If you’d rather have some free games to keep, GOG’s hosting giveaways as part of its current We Love Games sale (opens in new tab). Unfortunately the first giveaway, for Alien Breed Trilogy, has already ended. As a consolation prize for the next two days you can claim a copy of, er, let me check my notes here, a game called Biing! Sex, Intrigue and Scalpels (opens in new tab).
Biing is, as Richard Cobbett explained in his Crapshoot column once upon a time, an erotic hospital management sim. It’s a niche subgenre without a lot of competition, I guess because nobody except German studio Reline Software thought to ask, “What if Theme Hospital was really horny?”
In Biing you’re a hospital’s micro-manager. It’s your job to hire staff, buy an ambulance, build new rooms, expand your selection of wards, buy medical implements, decide which patients to take on and where to send them, play golf, and balance the budget. It’s just that all this takes place in the same universe as the cartoons from an old issue of Playboy magazine where every nurse has the kind of figure I haven’t seen since the last time I visited my accountant, and every joke is on the same level as that one about the accountant.
GOG’s giveaway also includes the sequel, Biing! 2: Sonne, Strand Und Heiße Nächt. As the name suggests it’s only available in German, as are the other downloadable extras: the pdf of the original’s manual, as well as an uncensored version of the game. I suspect we’re not missing much. Neither is likely to make the list of the best sex games any time soon.

From 2010 to 2014 Richard Cobbett (opens in new tab) wrote Crapshoot, a column about rolling the dice to bring random games back into the light. This week, an ancient slice of madness returns to the commercial world to wreak havoc once again, but this time, those who would oppose its chaotic rule are ready…
I knew immediately why I’d been summoned. The poor man’s face was slick with saliva, except for the bubbled areas no nurse wanted to approach that his bound hands were unable to wipe.
But he didn’t even seem to have noticed.
His bloodshot eyes just stared up at the fluorescent light, flickering only when each spasm ran through him. Occasionally, he made a sound that was less a word, less a cry, more a cruel joke played on vowels and consonants by a dark eldritch force that lorded over futile ambition. In all my years as a professional insanologist, I had never seen anything so tragic or so unnecessary.
“What happened to the poor bastard?” I asked, fearing the answer.
“I’m afraid…” The nurse bit back a tear. “I’m afraid he tried to play… Vangers.”
I froze, praying I’d misheard. “My god,” I whispered. “Why was I not called at once?”
Vangers. It’s not that it’s a bad game, not at all. It just is. There. Eternal. Waiting for its chance to re-emerge, and to spread like spores of madness on a wind of chaos. They said the first outbreak was in Russia, or maybe Ukraine, and normally that would have meant containment. Generally works, except for those Stalker things that think they’re acronyms worthy of all capital letters, and that game about incredibly shoddy wall construction. But no. This one had slipped the net. This one had escaped.
I set down my recording device by the man’s bed. “Tell me what you understand.”
I stopped the tape. Rewound. Reset. “Tell me what you think you remember.”
Of understanding, he said nothing, for no reply could have been made. But remembrance? Oh, that loosened his lips. He spoke of alien worlds, of cars, of pods and of phlegm; of voxels and races and aliens. My leg twitched, but I was ready for it. I stabbed it with my pen until it drew blood, focusing on the pain. This was not my first encounter with Vangers. The thing nobody ever realises? Vangers is… intriguing. Compelling. It’s one of those games so original that it goes the other side; that harnesses the natural human desire for something fresh, only to reveal why so much else is cliché. There’s a price to be paid for originality like this. Specifically, £4.99 at the moment (opens in new tab).
“The bugs,” the poor man whispered to nobody in particular. “They’re… they’re crawling everywhere…”
“On your skin?”
For a moment, his eyes registered something. My voice? His head turned almost imperceptibly, the edge of his eyeball making the slightest sliver of contact. In the tone of one who has looked deep into the abyss, his throat croaked one word.
“Everywhere.”
OK, who made the Very Hungry Caterpillar the New King of Space?
And he was right, of course. For Vangers is a game of alternate worlds, organic as human and living entities in ways most science fiction steers clear of. They’re valleys of rolling hills split by the likes of green splatters and trepidatious sinkholes, and crawling with insects whose unseen mandibles and hairy limbs make the skin quiver to imagine the touch of. Insects you can run over, because you’re in a car.
Yes, a car. Well, a “mechos” anyway. I think that may be the cruelest of Vanger’s mercies. It implies a level of understanding that may be quickly acquired, only to immediately turn around and make you seriously start asking how many beebs you might get for a gluek for conducting tabutasks in the current—
Stop! Oh, gentle listener, stop. Science has proven that the human brain can tolerate but a few made-up bullshit words in short succession, including French. No good can possibly come from knowing one’s leepuringa from their podish or how all this affects the phlegma. This is how the madness sets in. It is said that in its ultimate form, people drink so deeply of the nonsense that they lose all conception of just how much has seeped into their brain through osmosis, with the final stage being such core memories as childhood and the softness of a kitten’s paw being usurped and replaced by some bollocks about alien shitworms. Vangers. It’s Russian for “Abandon all hope ye who enter here.”
It’s a wonder the entire world doesn’t constantly scream in agony.
As the “Mad Arab” Abdul Alhazred imprinted madness unto the Necronomicon, I see it as a duty to at least—in part, for I confess that Vangers is a cup of knowledge that I have but barely sipped at, finding it more bitter and nigh-unpalatable than a pint of Coke in Wetherspoons—explain some of the basics. The foundation, if you will, lest it crumble into pixie dust and some kind of sparkling magenta. So, here we go. The complete codex of confirmed Vangers knowledge, that can be passed on with no fear of mistake or misunderstanding, reprinted here in its entirety.
You are a mercenary. You have a car.
I think. Either that, or you’re the dream of a sperm whale called Gerald. One of the two.
That concludes the codex of confirmed Vangers knowledge. It is a game whose own advert proudly offers “epic hardcore gameplay and no help whatsoever”, then immediately begins talking about “scum of the Creature Soup.” I believe it to taste something like cream of mushroom. But I digress.
Much of the quest in Vangers is to simply figure out what Vangers is, though over time—and with regular brain bleachings to keep the madness in check—a few elements do slowly seep from insanity into coalesced confusion. It’s a fusion of role-playing and racing game, which already puts it in a field of… well, there was Auto Assault. But effectively one, since nobody at all played that.
Dropped in the middle of it with little help but an alien blind peeping tom apparently, your first objective is to make it to the town of Incubator, where answers are promised in much the same way as the Wizard of Oz offered Dorothy a flight back to Kansas with in-flight entertainment. Merely making the trek can be trying, as you are not the only Vanger on what turns out to be roads, and most of them are a) tougher and b) arseholes. Given the organic art style of this game, they may be actual, literal arseholes. But such forbidden knowledge is best saved for another day, ideally when the universe is already melting.
If the future looks like this, expect suicide rates to go as high as the number of buildings to jump off will allow.
At this point, certain options present themselves. You have the Bioses, who are races, and the Bunches, who are a lovely couple from Maine and also the collective name of a city’s inhabitants. In RPG tradition, everyone has something they require doing, though even in that genre of gloriously silly words it is rare to see a walkthrough declare such dire warnings as “IMPORTANT— WHEN YOU GET TO NECROSS DO NOT ENTER ZEEPA!!!” or “Don’t get caught without Rubbox.”
In fact, here is an actual piece of advice. “Advice”, anyway.
Now Return to Xplo, You will get told to take one passenger from each escave and transplant them to the four worlds. This means you would have to take two Eleepods, three Beeboorats and two Zeexen and take them all to the four worlds so that each of the four receive at least one inhabitant. The order and the number of settlers on each world doesn’t matter. (Remember that you have to fulfill a tabutask in an escave in order for a passenger to appear in that escape).
Stop! Stop absorbing those words with your eyes! Are you still sensate?
Phew. Professional insanologists such as I do not merely carry these goggles for fun, you know. They are valuable protection, much as the official groinal cup shields against furious demoiselles made aware of the X-Ray mode. Here, they allow almost unlimited witness to sentences like “Conlarvers only fit into the truck (Not the Last Moggy)”. At least, that is the claim. In retrospect, the splitting pain in my cerebellum suggests it was a bad idea to have picked up a cheap one pair eBay. A plastic pair, at that.
Ah, reality. You had a good run.
As one progresses into the Vangers universe, nine more worlds open up for transit and questing, the ultimate goal being to OH LOOK A KITTEN. It is perhaps sufficient demonstration of the complexity that while walkthroughs do exist, the YouTube of video, YouTube, appears distinctly lacking in videos of the ‘ending’ variety. Or indeed many more advanced than “Vangers. What the shit is this?”
But. At least a few, a blessed few elements do slowly begin to make more sense than a flortle flibbula. Racing for instance, where the roads permit Vangers of skill and courage to test themselves against the roads and each other, and more importantly, each others’ guns. The portal-running by which the universe opens up as an organic puzzle that demands to be dived deep into and taken on its own terms. And you cannot argue that the voxel technology that permits all this, with all its bumping and bouncing and explosive combat and genuinely intricate worlds, does not make for a good host.
In 1998, there had never truly been anything like it. As the Harbinger of Madness has yet to manifest in the night sky to blow its horn from the depths of sanity’s charnel house, we must assume there never has been again.
The young initiate said unto the artist, “Where did you get your inspiration?” And the artist replied, “Poop.”
The man in the bed slumped, despite the bindings on each of his limbs.
The triple bindings, that he might not hurt himself, and that games of tickling may be played after hours.
“Water,” he whispered, a glimmer of humanity returning to his face, even as his voice remained cracked from hour after hour of screaming “WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!” at a screen that will never hear, never mind answer. Because, y’know. It’s a screen.
I nodded to the nurse. He passed a glass of water, because the twist is that he was a man all along and it was only your preconceptions that thought otherwise. The poor man sipped, gingerly at first, then with tongue lapping into the glass until it was licked cleaner than when it came out of the broken dishwasher. For a moment, silence reigned.
“How long was I out?”
“Four days,” said the nurse. “Less than usual for a Vangers breakdown.”
He breathed out. “I don’t regret it, you know. I had less fun than I would’ve had banging a nail into my eyeball, but at least it was different. And in this era of cloned games, isn’t different enough of a thing to be worthy of respect and attention?”
“Yes,” I considered. “I suppose so. But how are you feeling? Do you think you’re ready to be unbound?”
The man stared up at the ceiling, thinking about it.
“I am,” he decided. “Besides, I really want to finish my playthrough of the Myst games.”
Silence resumed.
I paused. Exchanged a glance with the nurse. He caught it.
“I’ll go get the electroshock gear.”
I nodded, picking up my tape recorder, putting a lid on my pen.
“Yes,” I said, striding away. “Yes, I think that would be best.”

As a humble, yeoman, single player FPSer, I can never tell whether gamepad or mouse and keyboard is supposed to be the good one that cheaters use. Overwatch (opens in new tab) and Apex (opens in new tab) players all seemed broken up about aim assist and the reviled controller users, while Amazon listings for abominations like the HORI Tactical Assault Commander (opens in new tab) stand in mute testimony of mankind’s misguided attempts to bring M&K to console shooters.
We’ve put out the 🧀, now it’s time to catch some 🐁 Check out Rainbow 6 Siege’s newest anti-cheat measure, Mousetrap, coming in Y8S1.2. pic.twitter.com/T1jLl3LtTSFebruary 18, 2023

Rainbow Six Siege, with its slow movement and fast time to kill, seems to favor the precision offered by M&K, leading underhanded players to “input spoof” with latter-day Tactical Assault Commander-style setups. They lorded over their gamepad-bound victims with the godly aiming potential we’ve come to know and love on PC.
That ends soon though with Rainbow Six Siege’s upcoming “Mousetrap (opens in new tab)” anticheat. Ubisoft has revealed that it can fairly reliably catch “spoofers” in the act, and that they are also endemic to high-level R6 Siege play on console. Rather than opting for instant bans, Ubisoft will start hitting detected “spoofers” with deliberate input latency that builds up into an intolerable delay between your mouse movements and in-game actions, hopefully removing the unfair M&K advantage on console.
I appreciate the creative, almost poetic justice here, slowing down the edgiest, sweatiest players until they’re practically gaming in molasses like some kind of bad dream. It also gives bad actors plenty of opportunity to give up on their hardware malfeasance and become “goated on the sticks,” as it were. It remains to be seen how effective Mousetrap will be in action, but one thing’s for certain: I can’t take myself seriously typing out the word “spoofer.” It sounds like circa-2007 fake slang from Urban Dictionary someone would try to convince you is real on the playground.
The Mousetrap announcement comes one day ahead of R6 Siege’s Year 8 live stream (opens in new tab), where we expect more details about the long-running shooter’s upcoming additions like new attacker Brava and Operation Commanding Force (opens in new tab), which is slated to start March 7.

First spotted by GamingOnLinux (opens in new tab), DIY repair outfitter iFixit is now offering its own Steam Deck SSD replacements. iFixit (opens in new tab) is offering 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB configurations at $100, $180, and $300 respectively, with the option to spend $5 extra for a screwdriver, tweezers, heat spreader, and plastic pry tools.
iFixit is the third big DIY retailer in just under two weeks to start offering SSDs for the Deck, joining the likes of Framework (opens in new tab) and Scan UK (opens in new tab). Up until now it’s been much harder to find reputable sources for the 2230 NVMe drives used by the Deck—the portable only has room for this particularly stubby configuration, and there haven’t been consumer retail options until now.
It’s still a pricey upgrade though, with the 2230 stubbies commanding much higher prices than equivalent sizes in more standard configurations. They’re going for similar prices at all three retailers as well, with Scan only going up to 1TB in size. Framework is sourcing theirs from Western Digital though, while iFixit is selling Micron drives, if manufacturer loyalty factors into this for you.
As it stands, this will probably remain a niche option unless prices come down in the future. I’ve been burned by a defective micro SD card in the past, but these days I’m pretty content with my combo of 512GB Deck with a 512GB Samsung card—it definitely helps if you prefer older games and indies on your Deck instead of some of these triple-A monster installs we’ve been seeing. As far as Steam Deck DIY upgrades go, my favorite is still this translucent backplate kit offered by JSAUX (opens in new tab).

As part of IGN’s 2023 Fan Fest (opens in new tab), Blizzard unveiled the opening cutscene (opens in new tab) of Diablo 4 while also dropping the date of its upcoming closed and open betas. Players who pre-order Diablo 4 will be able to test it out the weekend of March 17-19, while the rest of us plebs will have to wait an extra week for the weekend of March 24-26.
The cutscene itself is full-on classic Diablo, even if it doesn’t reveal much. I found it really reminiscent of the story FMVs from Diablo 2 with its presentation of a lone warrior wandering a desolate landscape, this time your player character instead of the afflicted Diablo 1 warrior. IGN’s description of the trailer indicates that in-game cutscenes will feature your custom-designed player character, so we’ll be able to get our Monster Factory on and get real nutty with our fits while Deckard Cain goes on about the fate of the world or whatever.
After something untoward happens to your horse offscreen and your torch goes out, your protagonist takes a little nap in a cave and has some demon-y dreams—you know, skulls, blood, flames. Just Lord of Terror things. The cutscene then seamlessly pulls back to the isometric gameplay perspective we know and love before the trailer abruptly ends.
Diablo 4 is set to release on June 2, and everything we’ve seen so far has left it our second-most anticipated game of 2023 (opens in new tab). PC Gamer Associate Editor Tyler Colp concluded it was the Diablo he’s been waiting for (opens in new tab) based on a playtest last December.

Every day Wordle presents you with six rows of five boxes, and it’s up to you to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them.
You’ll want to start with a strong word (opens in new tab) like ALERT—something containing multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeat letters. Hit Enter and the boxes will show you which letters you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
You’ll want your second go to compliment the first, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer.
After that it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).

Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle (opens in new tab), as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle (opens in new tab), refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn’t long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures (opens in new tab). Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.

Just about every week brings something new to Destiny 2, whether it’s story beats, new activities, or interesting new combinations of elements that let players devastate each other in the Crucible. Iron Banter is our weekly look at what’s going on in the world of Destiny and a rundown of what’s drawing our attention across the solar system.
Usually, the limbo between Destiny 2 seasons eases a bit as we learn more about the next expansion, and this week, Lightfall details are coming en masse thanks to a brand-new vidoc from Bungie and an earlier preview event GameSpot was invited to. While watching the vidoc at the preview event and a live gameplay demo of the first mission, one thought kept running through my head: We’re seeing the game evolve before our eyes once again.
