     Seriously brutal horror game The Suffering is about to get delisted

If you haven't played The Suffering, I would urge you to do so immediately. Frightening, vicious, original, and uncompromising, alongside Rockstar's Manhunt, it's the closest mainstream games - at least during the '00s - came to a real, sleazy, lowdown horror where bloodshed is measured in gallons. A third-person monster shooter, it's a natural progenitor to Resident Evil 4, but the pacing is closer to Dead Space. It's also set in a prison, and as such feels like a distant ancestor to The Callisto Protocol. Nevertheless, both The Suffering and its sequel, The Ties That Bind, are about to be delisted, and vanish from the PC.

     Skate 4 release date estimate, gameplay, and all the latest news

When is the Skate 4 release date? While we've seen plenty of early footage of Skate 4 already, EA's upcoming Skate revival is a rare case of a triple-A studio showing off very early in-development footage of a game. Though we've seen plenty of Skate 4, we can also clearly see it's not ready yet. It's already been over a decade since the last Skate game, so we can hold on a little longer.

The first Skate was among the most innovative skateboard games around, from its analog control scheme and semi open-world game structure to its more realistic, less edgy representation of the skating scene. The development team behind Skate 3 was disbanded after its28 bombarding EA message boards with questions about the series and its potential return ever since. Now, the team is very open about the development process for Skate 4, so here's what we know so far.

     When is the next Dreamlight Valley update release date?

What is the next Dreamlight Valley update? Each new Dreamlight Valley update adds new characters, features, and quests to the life sim, and the roster of Dreamlight Valley residents has expanded so much already - and shows no signs of slowing down. Fans on social media have previously requested the likes of Cinderella, Belle, and Stitch, and with Cinders the only one missing now, we know Gameloft is listening.

Disney Dreamlight Valley has never been better thanks to the colorful life game's new characters and mechanics. Its vibrant community makes it even better, especially with more multiplayer functions being added, and a paid DLC brings even more biomes and residents to your valley if you want them. Even if you don't want to splash out on paid content, there are still plenty of new Dreamlight Valley recipes, characters, realms, and more added to the base game regularly, so here's everything we know about the next free Dreamlight Valley update.

     NBA 2K24 codes August 2024 - all locker codes

August 23, 2024: We checked for new NBA 2k24 codes.

What are the active NBA 2k24 codes? Every new game in the 2K sports series has a selection of freebies given away, and the latest in 2K's basketball games is no exception. There are plenty of NBA 2K24 locker codes to redeem for new player cards, XP boosts, and MyPlayer gear, among others. However, you'll need to be quick to snag them for yourself.

This is because many of the early NBA 2k24 codes are exclusive to relatively small thresholds of players. Some freebies in this series of sports games come and go like whispers in the wind, so you need to act fast. However, we're starting to get some freebies that are sticking around for longer, so we've gathered these NBA 2k24 locker codes to give you a little boost.

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins all have one thing in common: they've got a Discovery mode, which replaces murdering with learning. You can, quite literally, go on tours curated by historians around each of the game's respective maps. Instead of diving off a Sphinx and plunging your hidden blade into someone's spinal column, you can look up at the Sphinx and read a paragraph on its significance. Maybe view an actual, real life bit of ancient Egypt from an actual real life museum collection in-game. Perhaps embody an Anglo-Saxon lad in Valhalla, instead, and like, cook up some nettle soup having just got a fresh "Friar Tuck" at the local hair choppers (no guarantees on this last bit).

This is all to say that Black Myth: Wukong deserves such a mode, too. There were so many times throughout my review time where I stopped and stared and wondered as to something's meaning. Not only in the architecture, but in the characters, too. So here I am with a proposition: how about instead of thwacking things with my staff, I can use it as a walking stick and point it at things I want to learn about.

Fields of Mistria Steam Deck Verified Now

NPC Studio announced on social media that Fields of Mistria is now officially Steam Deck verified. The developer also included a photo of the game running on the system to give people an idea of how it looks on the handheld PC.

While it wasn't officially Steam Deck verified until now, many reported Fields of Mistria ran well on the handheld prior to the official update. People discussed it in the Steam Discussions forums immediately after its August 2024 launch, with topics coming up discussing its stability.

This is the second update for the game this week. On August 21, 2024, NPC Studio fixed some major issues. One of them addressed the inability to properly use Steam Cloud save files. Some crashes were addressed, which means people can investigate inventory items without fear of the game quitting on them.

The roadmap for the game for 2024 is live now. While the game is expected to remain in early access until sometime in 2025, we will see romance, villager, dungeon, town, skill, and customization updates before 2024 ends.

Fields of Mistria is in early access on PCs via Steam, it is now officially Steam Deck verified, and a full 1.0 launch is expected for around a year after its early access debut.
