     Starfield has fewer Steam players than Skyrim, two months after launch

The Starfield Steam player count is now lower than that for its Bethesda cousin Skyrim, only two months after it first launched. While updates and mods have steadily arrived for the successor to Fallout and Elder Scrolls, and some of the Starfield player base is located on Game Pass, Skyrim, which launched all the way back in 2011, is nevertheless the more popular RPG on Valve's platform, based on recent data. It comes as Starfield fails to receive a nomination for Game of the Year at this year's The Game Awards.

     The best games like Baldur's Gate 3 on PC 2023

What are the best games like Baldur's Gate 3? One of the best RPGs of not just this year, but in recent memory, Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 surprised many with its nuanced, epic story of Cthulu-like monsters infecting a party of memorable and diverse heroes with interdimensional magic worms. Based on the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons, the third entry in this storied series computer role-playing game – or CRPG – provided dozens of hours of tactical spell-slinging, dice rolling, dialogue navigating, and gorgeous fantasy world exploring fun. And there's a very real possibility that, if you played more than once with so many branching narratives and awesome classes to try, you're likely hitting the hundreds of hours.

For PCGamesN, Paul Kelly called it an instant classic in our review. But what if you finished exploring Baldur's Gate, the areas surrounding it, and another plane of existence or two besides? While there's nothing quite like Baldur's Gate 3 out there, more than a handful of games check the most important boxes: great companion characters, interesting worlds to explore, and deep RPG combat mechanics that we'll sure you'll love almost as much as adventuring through Faerun.

Shadows of Doubt is the voxel-based 1980s detective sim in which the glass is always rain-slicked, the coffee as bitter as the human soul, and the whodunnits, procedurally generated. Hard-nosed private eye Rachel (RPS in peace) pronounced herself fascinated but a little stumped by it, back in April, while Graham described it as his "ideal game" in a post about the recent addition of infidelity cases and lost-and-found jobs, adding to my suspicions that Graham is some kind of jigsaw killer and that his news posts are actually ciphered confessions of his terrible crimes.

Well, these already viscous plots are about to thicken into a borderline-immobile soup of intrigue, for ColePowered Games are adding modding tools to the game. These will allow you to pen your own detective mysteries, and even alter the surrounding city to fit.

The Idolm@ster Shiny Colors Song for Prism launch

Bandai Namco released The Idolm@ster Shiny Colors: Song for Prism for PCs and mobile devices in Japan. The company also shared an illustration featuring Mano Sakuragi, Hiori Kazano, and Meguru Hachimiya—the three main idols who also form the Illumination Stars unit—to mark the game's launch.

Song for Prism is a free-to-play game that combines idol-raising simulation with rhythm gameplay elements. The player will act as the idol producer of 283 (read: Tsubasa) Production who primarily manages the training and performance schedules for the agency's idols. The rhythm gameplay segment will determine the score and quality of live performances.

Song for Prism features the most recent roster of The Idolm@ster: Shiny Colors, which includes the new units added after the original game's launch in 2018. While the original Shiny Colors shows the characters in Live2D, Song for Prism features their full 3D models. This game will play in a similar fashion to The Idolm@ster Million Live: Theater Days, which features the extended 765 (read: Namco) Production.

Bandai Namco first revealed Song for Prism in late April 2023. It then opened pre-registrations for mobile devices in July 2023 and held an event for the game at Tokyo Game Show 2023. In October 2023, the company confirmed a PC version of the game and opened its pre-registrations via DMM Games. The PC version requires a minimum CPU of Core i3-4360 / AMD A8-7650K and a minimum GPU of GeForce GTX 750Ti / Radeon RX 250X.

The Idolm@ster Shiny Colors: Song for Prism is available in Japan on iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as PCs via DMM Games.

Atlus will release Persona 5 Tactica for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC on November 17, 2023. The Persona 5 Tactica collaboration at RED° Tokyo Tower will run from November 17 to December 21, 2023.

Holostars Doppelganger launch trailer

Hololive Production announced the release of the Holostars English visual novel Doppelganger. People can now download Windows and Mac versions of the game after making a purchase on the CCMC Corp itch.io webpage. The visual novel is available with a minimum price of $12.99, although buyers can add more funds if they want to support the game's developers.

Doppelganger features alter egos of six Holostars English VTubers — Regis Altare, Axel Syrios, Gavis Bettel, Machina X Flayon, Banzoin Hakka, and Josuiji Shinri. The visual novel contains six routes leading to an ending with each character and a bonus seventh route that concludes with the true ending. The developers also added a warning that this title is intended for mature audiences due to the inclusion of violent themes.

A launch trailer for the Doppelganger visual novel has also appeared on the Holostars English YouTube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P26vcuvAPc

Hololive Production initially revealed Doppelganger in late October 2023. There was no change in the minimum price from the first announcement to the full release. However, people who pre-ordered the game before release can receive additional bonuses. While CCMC Corp is also planning to release Doppelganger on Steam, the title has still yet to appear on the platform as of the first release on itch.io.

Doppelganger is now available in English on Windows and Mac PCs.
