What Remains Of Edith Finch is great. Such is the indie hit’s quality and influence, people have started recreating its iconic house in The Sims 4. Jess recreated the whole thing in 14 hours. Also, you should absolutely buy What Remains Of Edith Finch if you’ve never played it. Correction: A previous version of this article claimed the house was recreated in Minecraft, not The Sims 4.

Paladins and Realm Royale developer Hi-Rez Studios announced a new team-based PvP shooter today called Rogue Company that’s headed to the Epic Games Store in 2020. “Rogue Company is an outlaw solution to a broken system. The “early look” trailer gives the impression that Rogue Company is a battle royale, but Hi-Rez said it’s not actually the case. We want all of our players to be able to game with their friends, regardless of platform,” game studios head Chris Larson said. For now it’s mostly “c

I got my first look at Cloudpunk late last year and I loved it. I couldn’t say what it was about, really, beyond a vague description about a driver for a grey-market courier company in a towering city of the future. There’s also a shot of an interaction with an open-air diner, and a snippet of more overtly Vangelis background music. Developer Ion Lands said Cloudpunk will get its first public demonstration at the Tokyo Game Show, which runs September 11-15. Until then, you can find out more on S

(Image credit: Activision)Sledgehammer Games is opening a studio in Australia, according to the company’s “first official hire”. This advertisement for a software engineer dates that far back, while the Sledgehammer Games website currently lists five vacancies for the Melbourne branch. Australia used to be home to several big studios belonging to major publishers, including the likes of 2K Australia and THQ. Sledgehammer is responsible for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Advanced Warfare and WWI

Creative Assembly is maintaining its tradition of releasing free DLC alongside the paid variety for the Total War: Warhammer games. Now the studio has announced that the forthcoming The Hunter & The Beast DLC will be accompanied by the free addition of a new Legendary Lord for the Lizardman faction. The Hunter & The Beast comes out on September 11, and will coincide with an update to the Mortal Empires DLC that adds defensible forts. There’s a nice excuse to start another Mortal Empires campaign

Who’s next in our Marvel’s Avengers Hero Week lineup? It’s Joe Fixit, aka the Grey Hulk. To avoid the problem they made the character green from that moment on, but later would bring back the Grey Hulk as a separate personality. While the green, ‘Savage Hulk’ is unthinking and driven by pure rage, the Grey Hulk is more devious and manipulative, though still having super strength. The unlockable costumes in Marvel’s Avengers don’t provide different combat moves, and while some are unlocked by pro

Apologies for butchering a quote from Alec Baldwin’s character in Glengarry Glen Ross, but Epic just can’t leave Fortnite alone. Fortnite’s latest hotfix removes the Combat Shotgun, the Drum Shotgun, and the Proximity Launcher. With its surprisingly good range and devastating damage, it was one of the most effective weapons in Fortnite. It’s been a good week if you’re a fan of camping, long-range slaughter, and a bad one if you favour in-your-face shotty kills. Catch up with all the latest Fortn

Posted by user reallybadpennystocks, this footage shows a priest who’s been levelled solely on an iPhone. The user claims said phone is roughly 100 miles away from their PC. If you want to level up your WoW character in similar style while on the go, you can download Steam Link to play the MMOPRG on your phone. You will, however, need to add WoW Classic to your Steam library. You probably shouldn’t play WoW at work, though.

Yesterday, Doom 64—originally released in 1997 for the Nintendo 64—was rated by the Australian Classification Board. For the Nintendo Switch. “This is PC Gamer, not Nintendo Gamer. Doom 64 is coming to the Nintendo Switch on November 22. Today’s full Nintendo Direct stream is below—the Doom 64 announcement begins at 16:55.

The Legend of Bum-bo is the latest game from Edmund McMillen of The Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy and The End is Nigh fame. It’s a “deckbuilding roguelike” spliced with a dungeon crawler, and it’s now got a firm release date: it’ll hit Steam on November 12. “Players collect hordes of items that can be modified, upgraded and comboed with others in many interesting ways,” the Steam description reads. “Play as one of many Bum-bo, each with its own unique abilities, as they smash, bash and splash

The latest video from the official Gears of War YouTube channel explains how Operations will work in Gears 5. These post-launch drops of new stuff will roll out every three months, containing new modes, maps for versus and horde mode, tiles for the map builder, characters, and customization items. These include character and weapon skins, executions, blood sprays, marks, banners, and expressions, which is what Gears 5 calls emotes. That gnasher skin and Fahz’s desert armor, as well as a salute e

Last year’s Tomb Raider movie starring Alicia Vikander may only have thrilled die-hard fans, but a sequel would have the advantage of not having to retell the character’s origin story like a superhero movie from the 90s. Which is why it’s potentially good news that, according to Deadline, the rumored sequel is in the works. Alicia Vikander will be returning to play Lara Croft again, although director Roar Uthaug won’t be coming back. He’s being replaced by Ben Wheatley, who previously directed H

If you’ve got a few bucks and a lot of free time, the Humble RPG Bundle is a good way to get rid of both. The situation gets deeper if you beat the average price, which is currently just a hair north of $4: For that you’ll add on Tyranny, Pillars of Eternity, and Cat Quest. It’s interesting to note that while Pillars and Tyranny are both higher profile RPGs, Cat Quest has the best user rating on Steam. I thought maybe I was missing something so I googled it, and the results were mainly other sit

I haven’t watched it—I’m an adult—but I have lately played the excellent DuckTales Remastered, thanks to its recent Steam delisting. But never fear if you missed that revamped classic, because now there’s another way to spend some time with Scrooge McDuck and co: in Minecraft. It comes in the form of the Ducktales mash-up pack, which is available on the Minecraft Marketplace now. The included map features all the places you’d expect (I guess): Duckburg, McDuck Manor, and places like Pyramid of T

Gears 5 releases later this week for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, though if you’re prepared to fork out the whole asking price, you’ll need to wait until September 10 to play it. A good way to drive the subscriber base for Game Pass Ultimate? Until this week, Microsoft and The Coalition have been tight-lipped about the game’s campaign component. “Kait attempts to enlist the help of someone close to her before they get caught up in battle,” reads the description. I have a feeling Kait wil

Bernie Sanders has his own Twitch channel now, why not the entire UK parliament? They’re not getting together to play Minecraft on a shared server and argue about who is putting in the most effort: ukparliament is an unofficial channel that streams parliamentary debates to make the process of UK democracy visible to a wider audience. Meanwhile the chat goes wild. Twitch chat and jeering parliamentary backbenchers have a lot in common. The 21st century is not turning out like I expected.

A fan-made update of the first two games called Serious Sam Classics: Revolution launched on Steam Early Access more than five years ago, but the project went dormant near the end of 2016; development team Alligator Pit said that the long silence was due to “life happening.” Serious Sam Classics: Revolution includes the full First and Second Encounters, along with new enemies and a new boss, eight new campaign maps, a new Survival mode and new multiplayer modes, and the full Serious Editor and S

You may know Annapurna Interactive for games like What Remains of Edith Finch, Ashen, and Outer Wilds, but while it’s been publishing well-received and visually striking games, its parent company, Annapurna Pictures, has had to explore bankruptcy options after financing several box-office bombs (including Vice, The Sisters Brothers, and Destroyer), and racking up hundreds of millions in debts. According to Variety that debt has now been resolved, and creditors “will receive roughly $0.82 on the

That’s the pitch for Touch Type Tale, and as many words as it took for me to say “I’m in.” I love the absurdity of typing tests layered on top of other genres—why haven’t more games ripped off Typing of the Dead?—but I honestly didn’t expect Touch Type Tale to be so fun. As real-time strategy goes, Touch Type Tale is a simple game, but it gives you a lot more to do than I first realized. Touch Type Tale needs louder feedback for when you mess up, but I also think I’d be much faster at spotting m
