This roguelike take on Geometry Wars is the best game I’ve played this month, and the latest to become a permanent fixture on my Steam Deck

November has seen the release of various notable games, including Sektori, developed by Kimmo Lahtinen, a former Housemarque developer. Sektori is a twin-stick shooter reminiscent of Geometry Wars, featuring a three-card upgrade system similar to Vampire Survivors. The gameplay involves controlling a ship shaped like an arrow in a dynamic arena filled with unique rogue polygon enemies. The game features vibrant visuals and an energetic soundtrack, demanding high focus from players due to its challenging mechanics. Players start with a shield that can withstand only three hits, and the arena's boundaries add to the difficulty. Collecting defeated enemies' triangles leads to blue upgrade tokens, which can be used to enhance the ship's abilities. Yellow "Evolve" tokens allow players to choose from three upgrades, adding strategic depth. The game includes eight card decks with unlockable abilities, and players can trigger "Rainbow Mode" by collecting letters to spell "MIRAGE." Boss encounters present significant challenges, with some balancing issues noted in the first boss fight. Overall, Sektori offers a rich and immersive gaming experience, quickly becoming a favorite among players.

Promising Genshin Impact rival makes huge changes for new beta, but the photo mode excites me more than its extra region

Arknights Endfield will adopt a more dynamic action-oriented gameplay style, inspired by games like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves. A second beta phase, called Best Test 2, will feature a reworked storyline, new cutscenes, and a new region named Wuling. The beta will introduce nine new characters, including three six-star characters: Ardelia, Late Rite, and Pogranichnik. The game will support cross-platform play and include a Photo Mode. The beta starts on November 28, and there will be a server wipe, meaning no progress will carry over to the final release. Players can participate by completing a survey to demonstrate their interest. An updated voice cast list and in-game bonus codes will also be available.

Don’t panic, the new Borderlands 4 update’s boss farming nerf was an accident and Gearbox is reversing it

The Borderlands 4 patch notes have been released alongside the Horrors of Kairos Halloween event, addressing unintended interactions that caused excessive damage scaling and boss-melting builds. A change that hindered players' ability to speed-farm bosses for loot was confirmed as unintentional and will be reverted. The vendor trick for resetting character skill cooldowns has been disrupted but will be reinstated. Several character abilities, such as Vex's Bloodletter passive and Harlowe's Neutron Capture, have been adjusted, with some effects being significantly reduced. The cost of specialization respects has decreased from 5,000 Eridium to 1,500, and improvements have been made to the Lost Loot machine's logic. New Shift codes for Borderlands 4 are available for players to collect Golden Keys.
