Explore the Pacific Northwest and venture into the Olympic Peninsula with nothing but your trusty car to protect you.

PCGamesN Tuesday, January 9, 2024 9:01 AM  When Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was announced during the pandemic, there was a bit of a collective groan. At the time, it felt like DC's answer to The Avengers, a now-delisted live-service action game that had only just launched to middling reviews. However, during a recent Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League preview event, I discovered that this third-person shooter has lots of personality and more in common with the immensely entertaining Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy than the rather dull Avengers.

As one of Valve's longest-serving games, it's easy to assume that Team Fortress 2 would hold a verified rating for the Steam Deck, well, think again. While it may be one of the best free games on PC that has ever been released, Team Fortress 2 hasn't been shown much love in recent years, and if not for a recent major update, the game was starting to see its community disappear.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, January 9, 2024 9:30 AM  It's been a good handful of years for fans of secret-ridden games. The sort of secrets that make the game world feel huge and unknowable and transform the post-game into a scavenger hunt more akin to ARGs than classic secret endings. After 2021's meta deckbuilder Inscryption, and enigmatic Zeldalike Tunic a year later, 2023 brought us Cocoon. Set in a cryptic world of insect-like aliens and their impossible machines, Cocoon is a puzzle game all about mystery. What best sells the mystery is a minority of puzzles that are so well-hidden, that a lot players might never know they exist. Those are the optional challenges that guard the way to Cocoon's secret ending. Any given player might stumble on one or two clues for those puzzles, before shrugging and finding their way back to the main story. But as the game goes on and the clues remain unresolved, those players will wonder what other secrets are hidden around them. I talked to Jeppe Carlsen and Edwin Kho from developer Geometric Interactive, to learn why those puzzles were made, and how it feels to watch a community track them down in real time. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, January 9, 2024 6:41 AM  I have a sneaking affection for slightly jarring genre hybrids - games like the relatively recent Disintegration and the much older Battlezone 2, which smush action mechanics together with real-time strategy, or the rather more elegant Puzzle Quest, in which you roll around a parchment landscape fighting wizards using the power of match-3. New open world RPG Archaelund, which launched in early access this week, and was brought to my attention by RPS supporter cpt_freakout, has something of that curious enchantment to it. You'll explore its landscape in first-person, roving sandy plateaus and frontier towns that remind me of Morrowind, at times. Bump into a foe, however, and your first-person perspective undergoes a fission reaction, splitting into a full group of warriors who are controlled in top down. |

The first teaser for this crossover appeared in July 2023, when Toho Animation revealed the collaboration at Anime Expo 2023. Spy x Family's author Tatsuya Endo also drew an illustration of Anya Forger dressed up as Chun-Li as a reaction to the announcement. Later in December 2023, Capcom published an anime trailer showing a fight between Yor Forger and Chun-Li.
Street Fighter 6 is immediately available worldwide on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The Spy x Family crossover content is available to obtain until January 31, 2024.
