For all the Divinity dev details Larian isn’t ready to comment on, we got a firm answer about the game’s controls: the studio’s sticking to its guns on no WASD movement

During Larian Studios' AMA session about their upcoming RPG, Divinity, it was confirmed that the game will use a mouse-driven control scheme on PC, and there will be no WASD movement option. This decision aligns with Larian's design philosophy, and while some players may be disappointed, there is potential for a WASD movement mod to be developed by the community.

Code Vein 2 is largely more of the same despite its story reset, but I think I’m okay with that

Code Vein 2 has been announced and is set to launch on January 29, priced at .99 / £54.99. The game retains core mechanics from the original, including checkpoints called Mistles and a system for reclaiming lost currency called Haze. It features extensive character customization, with a detailed editor and various Blood Codes that influence play style. Combat dynamics include faster-paced encounters and new weapon types, such as twin blades and rune blades, with over 200 Formae to master. The narrative involves Blood-drinking Revenants and human hunters in an apocalyptic setting, with players awakening 100 years after a catastrophic event. Companions can assist in combat and revive players upon death, adding strategic depth. Exploration has improved, with more complex dungeon layouts and navigation aids.

Elden Ring Nightreign is a deeply flawed multiplayer game I’ve spent over 250 hours in this year

Elden Ring Nightreign is a multiplayer spinoff of the FromSoftware universe that emphasizes teamwork in a roguelike format, where players face challenges to defeat the Nightlord. The game has limited in-game communication tools, relying on tagging for interactions, which can be frustrating without external coordination. Post-launch, FromSoftware has added content such as the Everdark Sovereigns and the Deep of Night mode, which introduces new challenges and mechanics. The recent DLC, The Forsaken Hollows, adds a new map and two Nightlord bosses, along with a Scholar character that enhances item value. Future projects from FromSoftware may be on the horizon, but Nightreign offers a rich experience for fans of the franchise.

Silksong’s disastrous Chinese translation has received an official fan-made overhaul, and it’s just been pushed live on PC with Patch 4

In early September, the launch of Silksong revealed significant issues with the Chinese translation, which failed to capture the unique tone of the Hollow Knight universe. This led to a temporary dip in Silksong's Steam rating to "mostly negative." A fan group, Team Cart Fix, improved the translation, and their work was officially integrated into the game with the release of Silksong's new Patch 4. The patch notes included updates to the Simplified Chinese translation, improved controller support, various localization fixes, and numerous gameplay adjustments.
