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.

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.

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.

There’s a Silksong mod to double every boss in the game, in case it was getting too easy

The Skong Boss Doubler mod for Hollow Knight: Silksong, developed by eniac-mod, introduces a Mimic Tear doppelganger to most bosses, effectively doubling the challenge for players.

The mod's installation requires the BepInEx mod framework, available on the Silksong Nexus, although there are issues with the Nexus mirror, prompting players to consider downloading it from GitHub.
