Blades of Fire just showed off its first five minutes of gameplay, and I think it might be channelling God of War too heavily

MercurySteam announced its new action RPG, Blades of Fire, which is a spiritual successor to Severance: Blade of Darkness. The game features protagonist Aran de Lira, who navigates a woodland landscape and engages in combat with goblin-like creatures and undead foes. The gameplay showcase highlighted similarities to God of War in combat mechanics, aesthetic choices, and environmental design, raising concerns about the game's originality compared to its predecessor. The original Severance was known for its darker tone, while the new footage lacks this ambiance. MercurySteam's creative direction may aim to attract a broader audience familiar with modern titles. Blades of Fire is set to release on May 22.

It turns out you can keep Baldur’s Gate 3’s heartbreaking temporary companion permanently: You just have to beat half the game without resting, kill her and your main character, and stuff them in someone’s pocket

Baldur's Gate 3 has introduced Patch 7, making the Tiefling bard, Alfira, a temporary companion. A user named Cenalexis_01 discovered a convoluted exploit to make her a permanent party member. This involves completing the goblin versus grove quest in favor of the grove, ensuring Alfira arrives at the camp before progressing to Act 2, eliminating the Dark Urge, and storing their body in inventory. Players must then trigger Alfira's Act 2 quest by bringing her to Last Light, rescuing the tieflings from Moonrise Tower, and repeating the process of eliminating her to store her in inventory. After a long rest, Alfira can be revived at Withers, but she will function as a combat-ready companion without further dialogue or story content. The exploit is labor-intensive and may disrupt companion quests and romantic arcs.

After an uneven first episode, battlemage boomer shooter Wizordum sticks the landing in its second wave of levels

Wizordum is currently in early access and features a medieval fantasy boomer shooter style. The first episode includes a goblin warlord boss fight but has pacing issues, particularly in the last level, which lasts an hour. The second act released in June improved the game, with a nostalgic design and music reminiscent of classic RPGs like Daggerfall and Ultima Underworld. Players battle various enemies using a medieval arsenal, including unique weapons like a frost staff and a fireball spell. However, frustrations include distant enemies that evade attacks and rapid melee auto-attacks from close-range foes. The game has twelve main levels with expansive environments, though some puzzles can be frustrating. The second episode features shorter, more imaginative levels. The studio has made adjustments based on player feedback, indicating potential for further improvements as the game progresses.
