Kotaku Tuesday, April 23, 2024 5:00 PM  When I started playing Fallout 76 in 2018 there were no backpacks. So I never thought about it. But when I learned from a random comment that backpacks had been added after that point and had been in the game for years, I felt stupid for never crafting one. And then I went to collect the recipe for a pack and felt… |

Kotaku Tuesday, April 23, 2024 1:50 PM  Metaphor: Refantazio is the next game from the Persona leads at Atlus, and while it has some similarities to the franchise (it's a turn-based, social sim-driven RPG), it's adapting a lot of those concepts into a medieval fantasy setting rather than a modern-day high school.

Kotaku Tuesday, April 23, 2024 1:40 PM  As an RPG, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has a number of character stats that influence various aspects of a battle.

This ambitious strategy survival RPG mashup has been eagerly awaited and having just launched into Steam Early Access, it's rocketed up into the top ten best seller list.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 23, 2024 4:00 PM  A great management game makes you feel like you're a master of your craft, sliding all the pieces into place and watching your clockwork creation tick. The best management games, however, make it just as fun when - intentionally or otherwise - a spring flies loose and the whole thing falls to pieces. Shown off during Wired Direct '24, Hotel Architect, from indie developer Pathos Interactive, is a delightfully light hearted management sim inspired by games like Two Point Hospital, The Sims and RollerCoaster Tycoon. Ahead of the showcase, PCGamesN spoke to Accel Sjöstrom from Pathos about its new game, the challenges of development, and making it fun to fail.

The former, well, you've probably heard of that one, but the latter is an indie horror game set in World War II. Even if you haven't played it, you may have heard of a particular scene involving the removal of someone's face. Yes, LKA's bizarre tale of tragedy and woe isn't one for the faint of heart.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 23, 2024 4:01 PM  Gaming culture, and many of the popular genres that dominate Steam, have become familiar and codified. You hear the term 'strategy game,' 'RPG,' or 'FPS' and you know immediately what to expect. City builders, likewise, come with expectations. Cities Skylines 2 is a distillation of the form - Frostpunk 2 seeks to challenge assumptions with a denser narrative and darker tone, but remains mechanically true to traditions. Speaking exclusively to PCGamesN, the creator of 2024's most unique city building game thinks more can be done to shake up the triple-A.

Gori Cuddly Carnage, another of these not so kid-friendly games, focuses on the horrifying mutation of a series of sentient kids' toys.

Since then, it's been put out on Steam Early Access and steadily progressed toward its final launch, attracting a strong player base and 'Very Positive' reviews.

PCGamesN Tuesday, April 23, 2024 1:21 PM  Last autumn, the Minecraft community was incensed about the results of a mob vote conducted in advance of its 1.21 Update. Players were given an opportunity to vote on three options for the introduction of a new mob: a crab, a penguin, or an armadillo. The results were close, with the armadillo winning, and, once announced, caused some fans to raise concerns that bot voting interfered with the poll — concerns that creator Mojang addressed by assuring Minecraft players that it was "confident that this year's winner accurately reflects the results of the vote" in an official statement. Now, months later, the controversial mob has come to the game, and we have the details. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Minecraft seeds, Minecraft skins, Minecraft mods |

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, April 23, 2024 11:46 AM  I'm the kind of awful person who looks at the background actors in TV shows and wonders what life is like for e.g. the old woman who sells birdfeed in Trafalgar Square in Mary Poppins when said upper-middle class domestic isn't singing about her. What fate the Warcraft grunt when he is too old to work work? It's probably pretty bad, right? Now let me slop Innkeep down in front of you like a big bowl of rat stew. Developer Daniel Burke furnished me with a little playable slice, and boy, Innkeep is a grim old time. I mean that as a compliment. In it you run a big pub with room for a lot of grizzled adventurers, in a dog-eat-dog dark fantasy RPG sort of a world - think a roadside pub in one of the early seasons of Game Of Thrones, before everyone hated it. You do a lot of plate-spinning drudgery like cooking, cleaning, and serving, but also eavesdropping, rumourmongering, and knowing when to slip in a ribald joke as a distraction while you size up a mercenary's sword. |

Have you ever encountered a cuddly smokestack? How about a cuddly just-in-time network? Combine cosiness with automation, and a lot of the time, you end up with some kind of macabre joke, like Palworld. Or at least so I thought before I discovered Sweet Transit, out now, which seemingly resolves everything by means of a hearty injection of trains. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, April 23, 2024 10:55 AM  Sometimes, I hear critics describe something as 'actively hostile' to the act of playing it, but with something close to admiration in their voices. I've always felt that I, too, would like to one day find an artwork that I could describe in the same way. Partly because it sounds like an interesting experience, but mainly so I could steal that line and feel like one of those elite, urbanely perceptive, multiple trouser-owning critics. Well, today is not that day, because indie horror IRIS isn't, in fact, actively hostile towards the act of playing it. It's more a case of passive disdain. Is it a 'good' game? Probably not. Ah, but is it enjoyable? Buddy, not even slightly. But it is intriguing. I am intrigued, reader. |

Build-a-Bear announced it is pulling one of its Pokemon plush out of retirement, as Dragonite is back. People can get a bundle with it online, and it is not available on the US storefront for $65 and the UK one for £50.
As a reminder, it's been quite a few years since Dragonite debuted. The character first flew into Build-a-Bear stores back in December 2020. It's known for being one of the more awkwardly-sized members of the Pokemon collection. This is due to its tail and wings. That means it can't wear the same outfits as other plush from the store. The price has gone up on it since its original launch, though. When it first debuted, it was $59/£45.
The Build-a-Bear rerun of the Dragonite Pokemon plush contains all the same accessories as before. You get the 15 inch plush with a five-in-one sound chip inserted into it, the blue Dragonite Hat and Scarf set, and the purple and white Dragonite Cape.
As a refresher, here's how it looks:
The last new Pokemon plush to debut at the store was Bidoof. It joined the line of toys in March 2024. It followed Charizard.
The Dragonite Pokemon plush is back again at the online Build-a-Bear storefront.

There are few comfortable video games that make me feel like I'm wrapping myself up in a warm blanket or returning home to see a loved one I haven't visited in a long time. But Hades 2 is exactly that. So far, it feels like it includes the right mix of elements the original Supergiant Games award-winning title, all while forging its own path.
Hades 2 is a direct sequel to the original hack-and-slash roguelike, and it picks up right from where it left off. I checked out the 2024 technical test on PC ahead of its release in early access, and it held nothing back. The game started with the new protagonist Melinoë seemingly picking up with a new run of the underworld.
I immediately had a quick moment to get my bearings with her skills and jumped right into the fray. The sense of progression in this sequel pretty much feels like a duplicate of the first game, which I don't mind. But instead of the often grim and red tones of the first game, this title has green everywhere. It's a neat touch.
Among the initial abilities I had access to in the Hades 2 preview included the standard thrust tied to several spears. This is the basic attack Melinoë gets with her default weapon, and it is surprisingly my favorite of the three I had access to. It offers just the right bit of range, which reminded me of my one of favorite Zagreus weapons: the bow.
Speaking of bows, one of the two other powers I had was one. I could hold it down to aim in a line ahead of me or charge it up for a more magical variant of its attack. The final ability involved a fascinating magical circle. It slows down opponents, which saw a lot of use in battle. I often set it up to gather up enemies, and then take them out at once. The circle even helped in escaping a near-tragic situation.
Overall, the new base abilities in this game feel pretty good so far. As always, upgrades exist throughout a run to make these skills better. For instance, I picked one upgrade that added scorch to my bow attack. This burned up enemies and dealt further damage to them.
Each run feels quite different in this game too, as the dungeon generates random boons. I had to pick carefully to decide if I wanted to prioritize bolstering my health or visiting Charon for supplies, for example. These neat little on-the-fly decisions make or break runs. The whole randomness and uncertainty of the situation already make this game so much fun.
On my first run, I made it all the way to the final boss of the technical test. I lost in unsurprising fashion, but it challenged me in a way most of the other enemies didn't. The first boss, without any spoilers, is a literal test for both Melinoë and the player. It feels like a sharp uptick in difficulty over the otherwise pretty easy enemies before it.
Playing Hades 2 immediately felt like I was tapping into muscle memory. This made powering through the initial enemies quite easy, but the boss battle showed this sequel's true potential. It forced me to use every ability at my disposal to slow down the foe, launch arrows from afar, dodge, and slice my way to victory.
But for many players like myself, the gameplay will feel unchanged. As such, the true excitement comes from the new story and characters. Some characters return to offer boons, such as the stunning Aphrodite, but there are plenty of new Greek gods and goddesses as well. Without spoiling, I am so much more invested in this tale than the original.
It deals with a new threat in Chronos and a surprising premise I didn't expect. Because of this, I am even more hyped for the early access release. Fortunately, it plays as smooth as butter even now on Steam Deck.
Hades 2 is currently in its technical test phase. It will release for early access on PC via Steam in 2024.

In a new livestream answering various questions about the game, Atlus confirmed that players won't be able to romance characters in Metaphor: ReFantazio. The Bonds system will allow for deep personal relationships, but unlike the Persona series it won't feature dating sim elements.
This information was confirmed during the final Q&A section of a new special livestream broadcasted after the premiere of the global showcase where the game's release date was announced. The specific question appeared at the 1:36:45 mark during the recent livestream, and it was answered at the 1:38:02 mark. As a reminder, the livestream is only available in Japanese.
When asked if players would be able to romance characters through the new Bond system, host Mafia Kajita answered that Metaphor: ReFantazio will not allow players to enter romantic relationships, as this is a different style of system from the Social Link and Confidant systems. However, Kajita said that players will be able to form deep bonds and explore deeper narratives through sub-stories.
The Bond system will allow players to unlock new Archetypes after establishing bonds with new characters and deepening them. Archetypes work as the unique class system for Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Metaphor: ReFantazio will come out worldwide on October 11, 2024 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam. Pre-orders for the game are now open.

The new VShojo Vtuber Michi Mochievee debuted in April 2024, and she already released her first cover song on YouTube. It is "Aishite, Aishite, Aishite," the Kikuo-P Vocaloid track.
Here is Michi's take on the track:
A number of Vtubers have released covers of "Aishite, Aishite, Aishite." For example, Hololive Advent member Nerissa Ravencroft did an English translation of it as her very first cover too.
Alongside the release of the first Michi Mochievee cover song, the VShojo Vtuber held a "just chatting" stream on YouTube. During it, she talked about the cover, preparing for it, and readying her channel.
This was Michi's very first YouTube stream. During her debut, she noted she'd like to get a Play Button.
As for the rest of the week, Michi released a schedule and noted she'll be doing things like playing Shinkansen 0, That's Not My Neighbor, Kuukiyomi 2 and 3, and Outlast 2. No merchandise
The other major VShojo news this week has to do with the Ironmouse Immune Deficiency Foundation charity DND campaign. Many members of the company took part on April 22, 2024. As of time of writing, the Tiltify page noted they raised over $70,230 for charity. The fundraising goal for the stream was $100,000, and it is still possible to donate.

The Spice and Wolf Holo Nendoroid that first released back in 2019 is going to return following the debut of the new Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolfanime. It will come to Japan in August 2024, with the worldwide launch following in Q1 2025.
The Holo figure costs $35.99/￥5,800, depending on which storefront you order it from. As this is a rerelease, there is no new content included with it. People get three face plates. One is her earnest smile (with a single fang showing), another makes it look like she is scheming, and the third one has her blushing and drunk. She can be displayed with her ears and tail. There's also an optional hat, in case you want to hide the fact she's a wolf. She can also hold a mug of wine or an apple.
Here's a closer look at the Spice and Wolf Holo Nendoroid.
As a reminder, people can watch both the original Spice and Wolf anime and the new Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf one on Crunchyroll. While both seasons of the original are there, the second just started its run. As such, only four episodes are there as of time of writing.
The Spice and Wolf Holo Nendoroid will be back in August 2024 in Japan and Q1 2025 worldwide. Pre-orders are open until June 5, 2024.

Anna Sui has revealed a new lineup of merchandise inspired by Oshi no Ko. The items will range from handkerchiefs to bags. Most of them will also feature illustrations of characters like Ai and Ruby. Pre-orders for these items have also opened on Premium Bandai and Anna Sui Japan web stores.
These items will only be legally available inside Japan. Even though Anna Sui's Japanese web store is accessible worldwide with a feature that detects the visitor's country and converts the prices accordingly, selecting any country other than Japan will generate a message stating that the Oshi no Ko items are not available for international shipping.
Here is the complete list of items in the collection, along with their prices in Japanese yen:
The last two items will come with an additional set of tin badges. The buyer will be able to choose whether to get the set featuring Ai, Aqua, and Ruby, or the other set with Kana, Akane, and MEMcho.
Oshi no Ko will thus join the list of anime and manga franchises that Anna Sui has made merchandise for. The brand previously released items inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion and Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba-.
Anna Sui will close the pre-order window for the Oshi no Ko merchandise on May 6, 2024. The brand will begin shipping the items in late July 2024.

Ahead of her playable debut, HoYoVerse has uploaded a character demo for Arlecchino, who'll be a new character in Genshin Impact. The video combines her attack animations with her story, which we could see from previous trailers and the game itself.
In the trailer, we can see how Arlecchino uses her spear and fire in battle. These are likely the same animations that'll be in the playable version as well. The trailer also references the House of Hearth, which is the orphanage that Arlecchino both hails from and is in charge of. You can watch the Arlecchino character demo for Genshin Impact here:
As a reminder, Arlecchino's kit is very similar to that of Hu Tao's. Not only are they both Pyro Polearm users, but they also focus on boosting their Normal Attack. Arlecchino in particular focuses on the Bond of Life effect, which prevents HP recovery from healing effects until they're healed for the amount equal to the Bond of Life. She can increase how much damage she deals with her Normal Attack based on her Bond of LIfe percentage.
Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. Arlecchino will debut in Genshin Impact Version 4.6, which will go live on April 23, 2024.
