PCGamesN Saturday, June 1, 2024 10:52 AM  If Skyrim is great at anything, it's the incredible side stories. Between the Companions, College of Winterhold, and the war between the Stormcloaks and Imperials there's an entire world to get lost in, never mind Alduin's impending threat. Every time I revisit Skyrim my mind always goes back to the Dark Brotherhood, though, with the note of a handprint and the words "we know" one of the coolest mysteries in the entire game. Now, one of Skyrim's biggest modders has revamped the Dark Brotherhood, giving us all a reason to visit them again.

Following in the footsteps of Arma and War Thunder, Warno is a much more intense and immersive approach to the genre than the likes of Command and Conquer, and it's been met so far with a very positive review score on the Valve platform. A mix-up with the game's new deluxe edition, however, has seen developer Eugen Systems deliver a make-good in the form of free gifts for existing players.

PCGamesN Saturday, June 1, 2024 7:01 AM  I'm always on the lookout for incredible roguelikes, and Go Mecha Ball started this year with a bang. You bounce around the levels in this fast-paced twin-stick shooter, flawlessly swapping between pinball and mech forms in some of the smoothest controls the genre has on offer.

There's a new way to play Wildermyth, provided people are willing to pay to pick up the $9.99 Omenroad DLC. The new add-on brings with it an additional storyline with a new mode that changes how you proceed through strategic battles with your party. From what I experienced, it can streamline and speed things up. Even so, it doesn't change what makes Wildermythwhat it is in the process.
Typically in a Wildermyth campaign, you move around a map to recruit characters, free areas, get resources, and prepare for boss fights at the end of certain events. Along the way, you head into turn-based, strategic battle with your custom heroes. These people can grow and develop based on choices you make in story segments.
When you pick up Omenroad, you can go through the new A Walk in the Unlight campaign or take on a Challenge (standard with new heroes or Legacy with existing ones). Regardless of which one you choose, the world map in the original mode is absent. Instead, you see a grid of branching nodes. Picking one sets you down paths, which can in turn allow you to face battles and get the specific rewards present there. While A Walk in the Unlight still retains the story-based events within, both Challenge and Legacy Challenge sacrifice those elements for a more straightforward gauntlet run to the end. Rather than "chapters," you'll also go through "pages" that mark different eras.
Essentially, the Omenroad DLC blends optional roguelike elements into Wildermyth, and it works far better than I ever expected it to. The new pages with their paths lend themselves well to the sort of structure we experience in the original game. Should you go with one of the Challenge options, I found it can feel like a much shorter experience as you go immediately from one fight to the next until you reach the bosses at the ends of pages. That some rewards have timers and can disappear after a certain number of turns and each node notes its difficulty can allow you the option to make things more difficult for itself. Also, I appreciated that even in both the Challenge options your characters can develop relationships like they would in the main game or A Walk in the Unlight campaign.
It can feel like an Worldwalker Games consolidated and distilled Wildermyth down to what makes the game unique for Omenroad. It adjusted the structure in such a way that it feels like a roguelike too. However, it never loses its identity in the process. The storytelling isn't sacrificed in A Walk in the Unlight. The difficulty isn't put aside in a Challenge.
The thing is that Wildermyth is and remains a fantastic game, and Omenroad is this exceptional complement that helps tweak the way someone might play it. Traditionally, I tended to play it as a social strategy game. When I went into the add-on, I was doing so solo. It still is a complex, meaningful experience. The structure just changes a bit to make things work a bit differently. When it does, it could mean you go through a different paced adventure that prioritizes challenges over stories.
Wildermyth and its Omenroad DLC are available for the PC now.

In the first volume of the Lord Hades's Ruthless Marriage manga, it feels like the focus is entirely on the more comedic elements instead of telling a romantic story about gods falling in love. However, once the second installment appears, Uei Yuho starts gradually implementing subtle elements that suggest that yes, there will eventually be an actual marriage.
Editor's Note: There are mild spoilers for volumes 1 and 2 of the Lord Hades's Ruthless Marriage manga below.
As a refresher, in the first volume Eros' arrow hit Hades in the forehead. Everyone (other than Hades) was happy about this, because they were concerned about him being alone and hoped he'd find someone who could be his partner. Right around that same time, following being hit, he saw Kore. She's the goddess of spring who ended up in the underworld for… reasons… and seems very invested in the idea of him finding someone too. However, while the arrow disappeared and she was the first person he saw after, it seems he didn't develop any feelings.
As with the first volume of the manga, the volume 2 of Lord Hades's Ruthless Marriage still involves various deities getting involved in Hades' business and attempting to find him a spouse. Hestia, Artemis, Sphinx, and Nephele all show up, for example. So the series maintains its "monster of the week" style format, only with Grecian gods. It's still silly, though Hades himself gets some rather poignant lines and insights from time-to-time.
However, what I really appreciated with volume 2 of the Lord Hades's Ruthless Marriage manga is the slow burn that is the developing love story between Hades and Kore. There are times when we saw the two characters have moments in the first entry. However, here there are even more moments on both characters' sides. When Apollo and Artemis appear, there are minor hints at Hades being protective and Kore sheltering or looking to him for support. When he is going to a temple for equipment, he doesn't continue his search because Kore's flowers are there. When Hades is on an apparent date, Kore ends up stalking the two of them to discover what's going on.
Everything is happening in a subtle way. Since this is otherwise such a comedic series, it really makes these moments between Hades and Kore stand out. As such, even though these are occasional hallmarks of a traditional love story, they develop in the background of the manga so you sometimes only catch certain artistic decisions if you really pay attention. Meanwhile, when a more overt conversation suggesting a deeper relationship comes up, it's even more appreciated.
It does make me wonder how the next volume of the Lord Hades's Ruthless Marriage manga will handle the developing love story between the gods. Especially considering the tone of the tale so far. Given how many gods are introduced, it's quite possible they could end up getting just as involved. But it'd also be great to spend more time on the build up so we can really enjoy what's happening in Hades' life.
Volume 2 of Lord Hades's Ruthless Marriage is available now, and Yen Press doesn't have a release date yet for the third entry in the manga series.
