Opinions are like Kotaku — they're a bunch of assholes! I think that's how that saying goes. Anyway, this week, we liked Pragmata and hated Crimson Desert, felt skeptical of Xbox's forthcoming handheld and thankful for the Switch 2, and, perhaps most urgently, had a great many things to say about promotional popcorn…

Delta Force developer Team Jade is warning players against modifying the free-to-play shooter's game files, after catching some doing it to change in-game assets. Team Jade assures that it's already taken action against accounts it's found maliciously editing the game like this, as some players are even sharing how to change the game online.

Hearts of Iron 4 has just celebrated its ninth birthday, and the WW2 grand strategy game remains the most popular of its type on Steam, reaching highs of more than 50,000 active players on a near-daily basis. Yet developer Paradox clearly still has ideas for how to keep building on its core; 2024's Götterdämmerung expansion delivered big changes to central players in the conflict such as Germany, Austria, and Hungary. Now, in a new developer blog, the studio explains that it plans to overhaul the way HoI 4 factions work.

Fallout 76 Gone Fission has arrived, and with it comes the arrival of fishing in the Bethesda MMORPG. The new update for the online survival game is pretty substantial, but it's far from everything we can expect. At Summer Game Fest 2025, we spoke to creative director Jon Rush and lead producer Bill LaCoste about what's coming to Fallout 76 seasons for the rest of the year, and there's a promise of a major upgrade to make building easier, alongside a tease for "one of the biggest, most impactful patches" we've ever seen.

I adore the cyberpunk genre's juxtaposition of low-life and high-tech. These worlds might have robotics and computers beyond our wildest dreams, but 99% of the people that exist within them struggle to afford to see it. I also love the infinite replayability and build variety of roguelikes. It's almost addicting to come up against challenges on repeat until they're beaten, with Dead Cells and Risk of Rain just a few of my favourites. If you're similarly inclined, you'll enjoy Kiborg, which puts the cyberpunk genre and roguelikes in a blender. If you missed it at launch, a new update and sale make now the ideal time to give it a shot.

Slick parkour, brutal melee combat, and plenty of zombies to pulverize - at first glance, Dying Light The Beast looks like just what the undead doctor ordered: more Dying Light. The thirst for the zombie-slaying open-world series has been immense over the past decade, and its third mainline entry is almost upon us. Once planned as DLC for Dying Light 2, starring the first game's beloved protagonist, Kyle Crane, The Beast has mutated into something much more ambitious. Ahead of its launch in a couple of months, I got to play a roughly 40-minute slice of The Beast at Summer Game Fest, and while it doesn't stray massively far from Techland's winning formula, some new additions and shakeups make for a more isolated, focused, and survival-oriented experience.

Back in May, SCS Software shared a 22-second video of a coach pulling out from behind a big rig in Euro Truck Simulator 2, and it sent the community into a frenzy. That's because players have been asking for coaches in ETS2 for years, even going as far as to mod them in themselves instead of waiting. Now, SCS has finally confirmed that coaches are in development, and they're definitely a game changer.

The Witcher 4 is being developed with consoles first in mind, as developer CD Projekt Red aims to avoid a similar fiasco to the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. A recent Witcher 4 Unreal Engine 5 tech demo gave us our first big preview of how the new RPG is shaping up, and it certainly looks stunning. But the showcase was running on a standard Playstation 5, rather than the typical PC demos we're often used to seeing for such presentations, and the studio says this decision was a result of the "many problems" it encountered during its previous release.

The first sign that Dune Awakening had something special going was at its head-start launch, where its active players managed to break six figures on Steam despite requiring a deluxe or ultimate edition purchase to get in. But a consistent audience that keeps coming back is the lifeblood of MMOs, so developer Funcom is naturally tremendously pleased that ten days on, and nearly a week after its full release to all, the Dune Awakening player count has just leapt up dramatically again, while also pushing to the top of Valve's best-selling chart in America and the United Kingdom.

Red Dead Redemption's John Marston says there's some "exciting news" seemingly linked to the series coming in the next few days, but has remained tight-lipped on what we can expect. Rob Wiethoff, who plays Marston in both RDR and Red Dead Redemption 2, made the tease during a Twitch stream of him playing the 2010 original. With Grand Theft Auto 6 now delayed into next year, it seems even more likely that Rockstar will want to close the gap with something to keep us all busy, whatever that might be.

A lot has changed in the industry since Lost Soul Aside's original reveal. Starting development back in 2014, this hack-and-slash action game was later brought into Sony's China Hero Project in 2016, and despite multiple trailers, after all that time, it felt like it would never come. Fortunately, it is finally releasing in just a few months, and you can grab this Final Fantasy-inspired experience at a discount ahead of its launch.

I Wish Camper Van Make It Home Was More Comfortable to Play 1

I got excited about the idea of Camper Van: Make It Home, as it almost seemed like an original take on the Unpacking idea. Optimize a teeny living space. Make it cute. Manage to organize everything. While the finished game is fine, it isn't always comfortable or easy to enjoy.

Camper Van: Make It Home starts out simply, as its a rather freeform simulation. You are heading out in various kinds of campers. Your goal in each is to properly organize everything you own within them. As you do, you also get to play around with these spaces and see the different sorts of special features each one has. While this is about us going through different places and seasons, I didn't feel like it had a story in the same way Unpacking told a tale. Rather, it's more about tidying up and organizing for fun.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwhg68_RUik&ab_channel=CamperVan%3AMakeitHome

Engaging in this process is pretty simple. You'll find objects in or around your camper. You'll then need to put them in what you feel are the proper places for them in the vehicle. This means searching for spots in places like cabinets, drawers, or a fridge. Some of the items can also be clicked to interact with them, such as a handheld gaming console. In so doing, you basically get to decorate as well as solve the cleaning up puzzles.

The thing about Camper Van: Make It Home is the game gives you very little direction. After you get and decorate your first van, you find yourself on a beach. Instead of there being an array of items I could see I needed to place in certain positions or at the right parts, it was more like I needed to hunt for things to actually arrange. There were no explanations or tutorials, beyond ones introducing me to the camera functions and general controls. In Unpacking, which is a similar sort of game, we're more properly introduced to concepts and it's easy to see where items are to place. 

Camper Van: Make It Home also feels like a game you'd need to play with a mouse. I went through it on a handheld gaming PC initially. Getting the exact positioning with the analog stick and buttons can be a bit difficult. When I then went over to a laptop, it felt much easier to play, control, and place objects. Given the exact nature of the game, I think it's much wiser to play it when you have access to a mouse for more precise controls. This is compounded by small hitboxes for tiny items and pieces of clothing, as it happened with not only a bikini top, but some stationary goods, glasses, and keys.

I think Camper Van: Make It Home is the kind of game that will be fun after a few patches. It's a good idea. But due to the controls, hit boxes, and some other elements, it doesn't feel quite there yet. With some minor adjustments though, Malapata Studio could be on to something good.

Camper Van: Make It Home is available for the Switch and PC

A promo cover image for FIFA Rivals where the ball is in the net

FIFA Rivals provides an effective way to score goals in the form of your Super ability, and recharging it fast can make the difference between a win and a loss.

For starters, your Super can be used as an effective strategy in both offence and defence. However, you'll have to charge up your ability first to use it. As of writing, you can save up to two Supers at a point in time, but there are a few tips and tricks to follow if you want to outpace your opponent. These tips will help you accelerate your ability faster than your opponent and trigger them quicker (which is an important factor).

How does the Super Ability work in FIFA Rivals?

The Super Ability can be used in two ways.

  • Thwart your opponent as they try to score a goal and capture the ball back. You can then send it to your attackers to try to score a goal. The objective is to use the Super to stop your opponent from scoring, especially after triggering their ability.
  • Trigger the Super in offence to push the defenders and goalkeeper away and potentially score a goal. The resulting shot travels extremely fast, making it nearly impossible for the goalkeeper to dive and save it.

Timing also matters. In defence, try to trigger your Super after your opponent has done the same and is about to take the goal-scoring shot. In offence, try to reach at least close to the penalty box (it's better if you're inside it) before taking the shot. Don't swipe too fast - remember that the shot will travel as quickly as possible anyway. Just concentrate on landing the ball inside the goal.

How to charge your Super fast in FIFA Rivals?

Recharging your Super isn't rocket science, but the game explains very little about it. I have learnt this after spending nearly 30 hours with the game since its global launch (and the beta).

  • You'll have to use players with high Explosiveness and try to do activities with them. This can include carrying the ball, dribbling with it past defenders, tackling and winning the ball pack, and passing to teammates. Ideally, it's best to have as many cards with high Explosiveness as possible.
  • Keep the ball in your possession. Not only does it increase your chances of scoring a goal, but you'll also charge up your ability faster.
  • Travelling in the ball recharges your ability slightly faster (this might be a placebo, but I have noticed this for both myself and my opponents). However, be careful not to get tackled by the opponent.

That's how easy it is to charge your ability quickly in FIFA Rivals. Lastly, remember to use them and time their usage to make the most of this fun mechanic.
