This indie developer is making Titanfall 3 because EA won’t do it, and even in ‘pre-pre-pre alpha’ it’s one of the most fun shooters in years

Titanfall is a celebrated first-person shooter series that was halted by EA at its peak, largely due to its release timing between Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. A spiritual successor called ShatterRush has been developed by Tetra Studios, a two-person team, and is available as a pre-alpha build on Steam. The game features a speed-running tutorial, fluid movement mechanics, and allows players to pilot mechs with combat capabilities similar to Titanfall. ShatterRush introduces environmental destruction, enabling players to demolish surroundings and create new pathways. The developers plan to release updates approximately every two weeks to enhance the game.

Peter Molyneux has made a proper game again rather than a monetization experiment, and I really hope he finishes it

Masters of Albion is a new game by Peter Molyneux, set in a whimsical version of Albion that features British humor and art reminiscent of the Fable series. The game includes unexpected tonal shifts, such as a humorous exclamation during a zombie attack. It is currently in early access and is Steam Deck ready, but players may experience frame rates around 22 fps on low settings. The game allows players to interact with the environment in amusing ways, such as picking up subjects and dropping them into the ocean. The writing is noted as superb, and the visuals are appealing on high settings. The development cycle is projected to be 12 months by 22cans, with hopes for the game to become a notable title since the Fable era.

Microsoft’s new Windows 11 freebies are useful, but they also feel a little desperate

Microsoft has launched an offer for U.S. college students purchasing Windows laptops, providing a year of Microsoft 365 Premium, a year of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and a custom Xbox Wireless Controller, valued at approximately 0. This offer is available until June 30, 2026, or while supplies last, through Microsoft channels, major retailers, and participating PC manufacturers. The initiative follows Apple's introduction of the MacBook Neo, priced at ,199 for regular customers and 9 for students. The offer is exclusively for verified U.S. college students, applicable only to qualifying PCs, and intended for new subscribers to the services. Many colleges already provide Microsoft’s productivity tools, which may lessen the appeal of the Office component. The pricing of Windows laptops has faced challenges, with recent increases noted, such as the 13-inch Surface Laptop rising to ,199.

Stop installing these 4 apps—Windows does it all now

Windows has evolved to integrate functionalities that were once reliant on third-party applications, such as native support for ZIP files introduced in Windows ME in 2000, and the ability to open and create RAR, TAR, and 7z formats directly from File Explorer. Features like Storage Sense have replaced the need for tools like CCleaner by allowing users to manage temporary files more easily, and the effectiveness of Windows Defender has reduced the necessity for third-party antivirus solutions. Additionally, modern Windows can mount ISO files directly, eliminating the need for applications like Daemon Tools. The trend of operating systems adopting features from third-party applications, known as "Sherlocking," reflects a response to user demands while still allowing for optional third-party solutions.

Mouse P.I. For Hire review: a monochrome tale with a ton of personality

Mouse P.I. For Hire is a monochrome first-person shooter that features Jack Pepper, a mouse detective, who navigates a gritty world while solving a mystery involving missing damsels and shrew plots. The game draws inspiration from classic FPS titles like Doom and Half-Life, offering straightforward gameplay with a rich environment. Players return to a hub area to interact with locals and gather clues. The game includes various missions that involve navigation, clue discovery, and boss confrontations, set in diverse locations such as a harbor and haunted village. The visual style employs rubber hose animation, and the voice acting by Troy Baker adds depth to the character. The shooting mechanics are adequate, with some weapons feeling less impactful than others. The game is recommended for fans of vintage cartoons, classic shooters, and cheese puns.
