Despite being made by the same team that created the beloved Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide and Warhammer: Vermintide 2, players were very lukewarm on last year's Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The mixed reviews on Steam pointed to tons of bugs, a lack of content, and unrewarding progression as major problems contributing to the lack of excitement. Well, developer Fatshark has been working away at Darktide for a year now, improving on those issues with patches adding new content, balancing classes and abilities, and squashing legions of bugs. That all culminates in the just-launched Patch 13, which completely overhauls how classes and leveling work in the game.

SHOULD I PLAY STARGATE: TIMEKEEPERS? Probably! For one thing, the first mission is free, so there’s no harm in trying it out. That said, Stargate: Timekeepers is a real-time stealth tactics game that’s very much in the tradition of Mimimi Games’ Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Desperados III, and Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. If you dug any of those games, you’ll probably like Stargate: Timekeepers—although Slitherine’s sci-fi tie-in lacks the polish and user friendliness that Mimimi perfected over its run.

A Second Look At Citadel Station That's right, folks, 36 hours later- I've finally finished my run-through of Nightdive Studios remake of System Shock- just so I could give you folks the final word on whether this did justice to Looking Glass Studios classic immersive sim, or whether it was a flawed reproduction. So, check out the video for all the good details. P.S.  If you want to see my other reviews, you can check out & Follow me @ Youtube→

SHOULD I PLAY CORE DEVOURER? You need to play this. Core Devourer offers all the chaotic fun and action of Vampire Survivors but with a modern sci-fi touch. Despite still being in development, the demo version looks extremely well-made and crisp. While a few small balance issues might be a nuisance, everything else in Core Devourer feels incredible. If you’ve played and enjoyed Vampire Survivors or any of its many clones, you seriously don’t want to miss trying this one out.

SHOULD I PLAY FARSIDERS? With plenty of better action RPGs around right now, it’s probably safe to skip Farsiders. While the artwork and soundtrack are delightful, the story is a jumbled mess of ideas and the English translation is poorer still. There are some neat ideas for combat, but the dull AI and sludgy pace keep it from ever feeling exciting. TIME PLAYED I played Farsiders for two and a half hours. I traveled through a portal from a violent cyberpunk city to a fantastical, alien version of Camelot, where King Arthur and his knight Lancelot sent me to retrieve moonstone fragments that were meant to be attached to Excalibur. I recovered the first fragment after fighting my way through a treehouse casino deep in a swamp, and I’ve gained several new skills and spells as I leveled up my character, Camilla.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it. Deadlink is a sci-fi roguelite shooter that takes place in a futuristic world with robots, augmented humans, and greedy mega corporations. This visually stunning game perfects nearly everything a fast-paced roguelite shooter should be and adds its own spin on the genre with cyberpunk aesthetics. TIME PLAYED I played Deadlink for three hours. I defeated the first and second boss, as well as unlocked around ten permanent upgrades. I’ve attempted and failed over a dozen runs, with each one lasting anywhere between ten to twenty-plus minutes.

Game: CYBER PUNK 2077 Platform: PC, XBOX, X/S, PS4, PS5 Genre: Action-Adventure, Open World, Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk Released: December 10th, 2020 Overview Not a big fan of the game and dislike individuals who think it's good? That's a reasonable judgment, given the road they chose by releasing it as an unfinished product, and I agree that it's a massive waste of time to assist developers many years later, since it simply fuels their drive to do it again, potentially causing many other developers to dip their toes in money with no product mentality.

SHOULD I PLAY FORT SOLIS? Fort Solis is absolutely worth playing, as long as you know the type of game you’re getting into. And that is, to be clear, a one hundred percent narrative game. Virtually all of the “gameplay” in Fort Solis is made up of walking around the titular creepy abandoned base on Mars, with a small handful of very simple puzzles and quick time events. That said, if you’re down for a creepy, suspenseful story, this one will get under your skin in all the best ways.

It's always exciting to get early access to a cool-looking game, but sometimes it's a little too early. Such is the case with Equinox: Dawn's Edge, a sci-fi gacha that's available for download in an early beta form now. This game makes a good first impression with some flashy cinematics and fast-moving auto-combat, but what awaits beyond those early moments is...pretty rough. From unfinished and untranslated text to missing sound effects to framerate drops and crashes, it's clear that Equinox is not remotely ready to be played by a wide audience at this point. Heck, the game didn't even give me an awesome cinematic when I pulled the gacha. How is a gacha game supposed to get people hyped to spend money without that?!

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip it for now, unless you’re very excited about social deduction games and the goofy sci-fi aesthetics work better for you than they do for me. Dubium has a lot of good things going for it, but the theme and visual style seemed totally at odds with the idea of scrambling to get a space station back online in order to destroy hazardous materials stored on board—while always looking over my shoulder for a fellow crew member waiting for the right moment to kill me.

SHOULD I PLAY THE INVINCIBLE? Play it if you’re a fan of old-school hard science fiction, but skip it if you’re not big on interactive fiction. The Invincible tells a slow-paced but fascinating story based on the Stanislaw Lem novel of the same name. Dr. Yasna, a biologist on an interstellar mission, wakes up alone on a strange planet with no memory of how she got there. It’s a fantastic premise, and the story is expertly told, but the gameplay doesn’t always live up to the quality of the narrative. It’s not for everyone, but if you’ve enjoyed other walking simulators like

Love this game and play every day. It’s Overwatch meets Star Wars Battlefront for mobile, simple as that. No upgrades or power levels, all free to play with only cosmetics and battle passes sold. Game is still in limited soft launch and needs a little more polishing before global release. Play it now if you can figure out how to download it, or be on the lookout for the game in 2023. It’s worth the extra hoops to get it now or at least to wait for global launch!

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of sci-fi, analog horror, or just like narrative-focused games. Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is a direct sequel to the original Oxenfree, but it’s surprisingly friendly to newcomers. Set five years after the first game, Lost Signals follows two brand-new characters: small town handyman Jacob and stoic screw-up Riley. There are moments that will hit harder if you’ve played the original, but it’s not overly reliant on old material, and it should make for a satisfying experience even if you treat it as a standalone game.

The market has become a cacophony of futuristic cityscapes and neon-lit landscapes in an era saturated with many cyberpunk-themed games. The challenge to captivate the attention of discerning gamers has escalated, demanding a unique and compelling approach within the cyberpunk genre. Amidst this digital maelstrom, "Minds Beneath Us" emerges as a beacon of innovation and intrigue, poised to redefine the boundaries of the sci-fi thriller experience. Transporting players into a meticulously crafted dystopian future, "Minds Beneath Us" unfolds a narrative where the symbiosis of humans and artificial intelligence has given rise to a captivating and unsettling reality. The game paints a vivid picture of sprawling skylines adorned with futuristic architectures that seamlessly blend the organic and the synthetic. Neon signs flicker with an ethereal glow, casting an otherworldly ambiance over the sprawling metropolis as the backdrop to this immersive gaming experience.

SHOULD I PLAY RISK OF RAIN: HOSTILE WORLDS? The answer to this is going to depend a lot on what you’re looking for when you approach the game. Do you want a fun, fast, low-stakes action game on mobile with gacha and grinding for if you decide to get invested for the long haul? Then Risk of Rain: Hostile Worlds will give you everything you’re looking for. But if you’re a fan of Risk of Rain, its sequel

While the game does a lot of things right, it is far from flawless and will require a lot more polish before I am prepared to fully suggest it to someone who wants to get the most out of it, free of bugs, crashes, and a lack of progression after the first Chapter. Still, this is one great use of the Gurren Lagann-style mixed with deckbuilders that has tried something new, and it works well with the rest of the presentation.
