PCGamesN Saturday, August 30, 2025 9:36 AM Supergiant's Hades 2 looms over the action roguelike space like the towering Titan of Time himself, but I've been playing quite a few similarly styled indie games of late, and one of my favorites is currently available to try for free. Sworn transports the familiar progression and combat fundamentals of Hades out of the Greek underworld and into a corrupted Camelot, where the fallen King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table stand in your way. Developer Windwalk Games has just dropped the Sworn 1.0 release date, and to celebrate it's giving everyone a taste with a free weekend.

PCGamesN Saturday, August 30, 2025 9:00 AM Asus was already onto a good thing with the ROG Ally X, but the limitations of running Windows on a handheld device stopped it from achieving true perfection. With the Xbox Ally, however, that major drawback is starting to be erased. Thanks to this official partnership with Microsoft, the first ever Xbox handheld is rethinking its approach to Windows, and after getting hands-on with both the base model and the more powerful Xbox Ally X at Gamescom, I'm pleased to report that things feel slick in the UI department. To set expectations, my time with both variations of the new Asus ROG Xbox Ally was limited - roughly 15 minutes with each device. In the case of the less powerful Xbox Ally, which was offering up large, demanding games such as Forza Horizon 5 and the new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 remaster, some fairly lengthy initial loading times ate into that time too. However, I was still able to get a good feel for each device. MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 review, Asus ROG Ally X review, Best gaming motherboard |
PCGamesN Saturday, August 30, 2025 7:26 AM The Borderlands 4 roadmap has been unveiled by developer Gearbox, and there's a lot to take away from what's to come. As we near launch, the team delivers a comprehensive look at what we can expect from the BL4 endgame on day one, as well as what's in store for the weeks and months following release. There's regular challenges, free updates (including super-tough boss battles and the long-teased return of Pearlescent weapons), and a selection of paid DLC packs featuring familiar faces on the way, so let's take a look.

PCGamesN Saturday, August 30, 2025 5:57 AM It still doesn't quite feel real that Hollow Knight Silksong will be here in less than a week. Naturally, that means players are getting the itch to click a pre-order button, but there's one problem: Team Cherry hasn't announced the Silksong price yet. We might have just gotten an accidental clue, however, as a price listing that briefly appeared on the Gamestop website suggests the long-awaited Metroidvania could be as cheap as $20 despite the insatiable hype.

PCGamesN Saturday, August 30, 2025 5:05 AM August 30, 2025: We're on the hunt for new Steal a Brainrot codes for the typical Saturday update. What are the latest Steal a Brainrot codes? Taking clear cues from Grow a Garden, this new Roblox experience dismisses the idea of patience, perseverance, and the rewards that follow, and instead, you steal the hard work of others. It's poetic in a way. So much so that we're not sure what to make of it. But freebies are freebies, and that's what Steal a Brainrot game codes are good for. But players are loving it. While it's far from meeting the lofty concurrent player goals of its inspiration, like Grow a Garden codes or Blox Fruits codes, it's putting Brainrot Evolution codes on high alert. Already certain it's not the one for you? Consider trying out Blue Lock Rivals codes instead. That's a Roblox game with an idea that copycats are struggling to replicate.

PCGamesN Saturday, August 30, 2025 5:00 AM I consider myself to be, in many ways, the embodiment of chaos. My favored Dungeons and Dragons class is a bard (obviously), my favorite VTM clan is Toreador (obviously), and my favorite World of Darkness is, well, the Camarilla (didn't see that one coming, did you?) I've played Bloodlines many times before, and experienced its many endings. I've been LaCroix's right-hand blood mage, Ming Xiao's hopelessly obsessed sycophant, and Nines Rodriguez's hell-raising Anarch in arms; the night wears many faces (especially when it's Malkavian). But, during my preview of Bloodlines 2, I found an intriguing little lore titbit that inspired the question: "which ending is canon?" It's a query I pitch to WoD brand manager Jason Carl at Gamescom, and his answer is... interesting.

Like Tookyo Games' The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-, Shuten Order is a wild and ambitious project that knocks it out of the park with a unique, multi-genre approach and gripping mystery. It's a bombastically colorful adventure full of intrigue that's hard to put down. But, while I enjoyed Shuten Order and its innovative structure, its localization was equally novel in a bad way.
In Shuten Order, you play as Rei Shimobe. At least, that's her alias. She was the beloved founder of the Shuten Order, an organization touting apocalyptic ideology that formed its own country. But someone killed and dismembered her. Thankfully, God revived her with a side order of amnesia. If she can clear God's Trial, she can fully come back to life. If she doesn't within the time limit, she'll die for real. With the power of God and the help of her guardian angels Himeru and Mikotoru, Rei needs to figure out which Shuten Order minister killed her, get them to confess, take back her soul, and save the world.
Though I would classify Shuten Order as a visual novel, each route plays and resembles a different genre. For example, Teko's route is a multi-POV text adventure where you advance the story through the perspectives of an ensemble cast. The UI here looks like a traditional visual novel, compared to the default The World Ends With You-like layout. Manji's route, meanwhile, transforms the game into a stealth horror with an aerial view.
Despite how distinct and unique each route looks, the bright and Studio Trigger-esque art style ties them together. From a layman's eyes, the game still looks cohesive, whether you're looking at a screenshot of Honoka's route or Kishiru's. The gameplay concepts are obviously not as fleshed out as they would be in a proper dating sim and whatnot, so they can get tedious. (Especially Manji's route.) Around ten hours per route is more than enough time for you to have fun without getting too tired of each style, while still learning plenty about the world, characters, and story.
After Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, I was apprehensive about the Switch version of Shuten Order. The action and exploration segments, which I had been the most worried about, were surprisingly smooth. The loading times are still rough, though. Many times, I thought the game straight up froze on me because of how long it loaded and how awkward the scene transitions were. Sometimes I experienced audio stuttering and bizarre lag in cutscenes, but I don't know if that's just because my Switch is old.
I hate to say this, but there's one major issue with the English version of Shuten Order, and it's the localization. It needed way more time and care. Aside from objectively inaccurate translations or awkward wording, there are blatant errors like: punctuation issues, extra lines, missing spaces, line overflow, typos, inconsistencies between the text and the UI, misattribution of speaker, strings that make no sense in context, mistaken nuance, and so on. Human error is a thing, and Shuten Order isn't unique with these little oopsies. But I've never seen a game contain so many in such high concentration.
Yugen's route stood out to me. A lot of lines read like they were translated completely divorced from context, even within the same scene. Mikotoru talks about things Rei did as if he did them. Right after Yorunosuke talks about something he did, Yugen's line makes it read like he was the one who did it. The Japanese lines lack indicative pronouns, yes, but that doesn't impede understanding. All the context is in the script, which the translators can read over as they work. So, I don't understand the confusion.
I get the impression that the localization team was racing against the clock to put this together. The translation for Shuten Order feels like a rough draft with how many basic and unbelievable errors there are. It doesn't feel like anyone read over the script or even previous lines after putting down an initial translation, even though they desperately needed that second pass. Please allow time and budget for LQA of some sort!
The story, characters, and gameplay of Shuten Order are genuinely enjoyable, but the translation doesn't match the game's innate quality. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from buying Shuten Order. It's fantastic. I hope it's as successful as Hundred Line. But I also sincerely hope that a patch comes out to fix up the English script. Blessed be the Shuten Order.
Shuten Order will come out on the Nintendo Switch and Windows PC on September 5, 2025. Nintendo Switch version reviewed. A copy of this game was provided by the publisher for review.
