After months of horsing around, Valve finally made Deadlock official last week: You still can't play it without an invitation, but at least now you can look at it on Steam. But that's raised complaints from some quarters because it appears that Valve is rather blatantly breaking its own rules on what you can and cannot do with Steam store pages.
Upcoming metroidvania Uruc had me sitting up in my chair pretty quickly: Its debut trailer begins with flash cuts of horrible masses of worms before showing our protagonist—who I initially parsed as a banana slug, but who actually seems to be some manner of sable or fox with no limbs—an incongruously cute little guy in the grand tradition of incongruously cute metroidvania protagonists. We then see that this little guy is up against militaristic mecha straight out of Ghost in the Shell or Metal Gear, rampaging across a dead or dying world of industrial hulks and unnerving statuary. I'm in.
Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail has had some time to simmer in the minds of its fanbase—and while I've had a blast with everything outside of it, the main scenario quest line has left me a little less enthusiastic than usual.

Ubisoft's big open world Star Wars game launches this week, and you're going to need a lore primer. For the Star Wars Outlaws launch time, that is, not the Wookieepedia. I'm sure we're all consummate experts on galaxies far, far away but time zones take some serious apprenticeship to comprehend. I'm only half joking, because the Outlaws launch date is fragmented between early access versus main launch, PC versus console, and global region as well. Here's how it all breaks down:
If you're anything like me, Baldur's Gate 3 knocked your life off-kilter and sent you on a long and winding personal journey through computer and tabletop RPG history looking for the same magic. Brazil-based indie developer vikintor took the lingering BG3 mania to the next level, though, creating a custom Doom map for his and others' Githyanki tabletop characters to hang out in, built with assets from Baldur's Gate 3 and serving as a bit of an extended, tertiary epilogue to one of its endings.
From the first-party exclusives, PS VR2 adapter, and this most recent push to allow for DualSense Edge customisation on PC, I'm starting to think Sony is warming up to this whole PC gaming malarky.
Deadlock has a brilliant cast of characters, but some players are growing increasingly afraid of one of them: Yamato. A few people have even pointed out that she looks like the woman in the painting from Stephen King's IT, which I honestly couldn't see at first, but the more I look at the side-by-side comparison, the more terrified I am.
