This new climbing game is a bit like Darkest Dungeon on a mountain: Sometimes you have to cut the rope, and not everyone on the team is going to take it well when you do

Climbing games are gaining popularity, with titles like White Knuckle, Peak, Cairn, and the lesser-known Jusant. Ascenders: Beyond the Peak introduces a collaborative gameplay element, where players act as team leaders making difficult decisions, including who may not survive the journey. The game focuses on collecting artifacts and hints at a deeper mystery involving Lovecraftian threats. Developer Ludogram states that each expedition aims to reach the summit, understand the mountain's forces, and return alive with knowledge and artifacts. Ascenders features a roguelite progression system and strategic gameplay, differing from the serene experience of Jusant. It is set for early access launch in Q3 2026 on PC via Steam.

Steam Next Fest challenged me with a word game that also contained fractions

Balatro has set a precedent in the roguelike genre by transforming playing cards into an engaging gaming experience. Cursed Words is a new roguelike game that focuses on forming words from a randomized grid of letters, with players earning points based on their creations. The game includes various items that influence the letters on the board, allowing for strategic gameplay. A notable strategy involves manipulating negative Void tiles to earn points. The game introduces numbers as wildcards that can represent letters when placed correctly. An item that transforms numbers into fractions adds complexity, allowing for multiple uses of these tiles. Cursed Words promises a rich experience within a familiar framework, with a demo available ahead of its anticipated release in 2026.

My love for Arc Raiders is starting to wane, and that plays right into Marathon’s hands

Arc Raiders has been a dominant presence in the author's gaming time since its launch at the end of October, even with new seasons for other games like Black Ops 7 and Battlefield 6. The author has experienced some fatigue with Arc Raiders recently, despite previously believing it would succeed. Key features of Arc Raiders include emergent gameplay, flexible engagement options, and a free loadout system. However, the author notes a lack of new content, such as weapons, maps, and enemy types, since the launch of Stella Montis, leading to diminished interest. Upcoming updates, including the Shrouded Sky update, promise new content, but the author expresses concern that if this update does not reignite excitement, they may shift their focus to Marathon, which offers polished gameplay and customization options that Arc Raiders currently lacks.
