Subnautica 2 could become a chilling horror game, if only it would shut up

Subnautica 2 features players as the sole survivor of a failed expedition on an alien planet, awakening disoriented after a disaster. The game incorporates an AI assistant named NoA, which provides constant reminders about survival needs, often causing frustration. The narrative heavily relies on audio logs that interrupt exploration and detract from the immersive atmosphere, as they auto-play at inconvenient times and often spoon-feed information rather than allowing for organic discovery. This reliance on audio logs diminishes the thrill of exploration and the sense of agency for players. Despite its potential, the game's narrative structure undermines the overall experience.

This Free Steam Game Tricks Players Into Downloading Malware, Users Beware

Steam users are warned about the risks of downloading free games, particularly a compromised title called Beyond The Dark, which was a clone of the horror game Phasmophobia. This game contained malware named UnityPlayer.dll that activated upon launch, targeting saved passwords and cryptocurrency extensions in browsers. Users experienced instability and crashes while the malware operated in the background. It is recommended that those who downloaded the game delete associated files and perform a system scan, changing any potentially compromised passwords. Valve has removed Beyond The Dark from its storefront to prevent further downloads. Users are advised to scrutinize game descriptions, review feedback, and maintain reliable antivirus software to protect their personal information.

Free Steam game Beyond the Dark turns out to be malware, but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen it

The indie horror game, Beyond The Dark, was initially launched as Rodent Race in December 2024 and underwent a branding and gameplay overhaul, emerging in its current form a few weeks ago. The transition began on May 4, raising concerns about Steam's review process. Cybersecurity expert Eric Parker noted that Beyond The Dark disguised its true intentions by appearing as a standard horror game while collecting personal data from players. The game was ultimately removed from Steam due to community reports. The trend of 'vibe coding' using AI tools poses a risk for malware-infested games on Steam, prompting a need for reevaluation of Valve's protocols. Gamers are advised to remain vigilant and skeptical of enticing offers, especially free-to-play games.

The problem with bodycam shooters

Better Than Dead is a bodycam first-person shooter that recently launched in early access on Steam, allowing players to assume the role of a victim of a human trafficking ring in Hong Kong. Players are equipped with a pistol and a bodycam, embarking on a journey of revenge. The game emphasizes realism in gunfights, contributing to a trend of bodycam shooters influenced by the game Unrecord. It presents chaotic and unpredictable armed conflict, challenging players' perceptions of violence and its portrayal in media. The game's unsettling realism raises moral questions about gun control and the glorification of violence, leading to discomfort for some players who struggle with the boundaries between fantasy and reality.
