Minecraft meets Wind Waker? Hytale with airships? Everwind is Steam’s latest big early access release, and it could be a winner with time

Two fantasy-themed sandbox titles, Hytale and Enjoy Studio's Everwind, have recently emerged, with Everwind featuring airships as a unique gameplay element. The game invites players to scavenge, craft, and explore in a procedurally generated world made of destructible voxel blocks, reminiscent of Minecraft. Players gather resources to create weapons, armor, tools, and furniture, while the game’s aesthetic evokes a muted, medieval fantasy atmosphere. Everwind's world consists of vast oceans and diverse islands, some floating in the sky. Players can engage in crafting and combat, with a stamina-based system that enhances gameplay. The process of salvaging and constructing airships involves scanning parts for blueprints and gathering essential components. Initial experiences may include challenges such as resource scarcity and unexpected events, but these can lead to deeper exploration. Air travel mechanics allow players to set speed and elevation, though early travel can be slow and lacks engaging distractions. The game is currently in early access and has the potential for growth and improvement over the next year.

I spent 6 months saving for up for a banged-up truck in GTA RP and now I know exactly what I want from GTA 6’s multiplayer

Rockstar is expected to continue supporting GTA Online alongside the new multiplayer features of GTA 6. The team behind FiveM, Cfx.re, suggests that GTA 6 will incorporate deeper roleplaying elements. GTA Online has received over a decade of updates, enhancing gameplay with customizable weapons and vehicles. The roleplaying scene offers a more nuanced experience, emphasizing creativity and storytelling. The economy in GTA Online thrives on excess, while roleplay servers reflect a grounded reality where earning in-game currency takes time and effort. The anticipated GTA Online 2.0 may feature two distinct experiences: one of abundance and one aligned with the roleplaying ethos. The acquisition of Cfx.re hints at a potential integration of more roleplaying elements in GTA 6, which could differentiate the PC version from previous installments.

Android 17 Beta 2 starts clamping down on apps that misuse accessibility services

Google has enhanced its Advanced Protection Mode with the rollout of Android 17 Beta 2, introducing stricter security measures that restrict non-accessibility applications from accessing the AccessibilityService API. This update prevents non-accessibility apps from obtaining accessibility permissions, revoking them from apps that already have them while the mode is active. Users cannot grant these permissions when Advanced Protection Mode is enabled. For example, the dynamicSpot app cannot receive necessary accessibility permissions under this mode. In contrast, the stable Android 16 QPR3 build allows dynamicSpot to function with Advanced Protection Mode activated. Applications that identify as accessibility tools, like screen readers, remain unaffected by this restriction. This change may cause compatibility issues for users who enable Advanced Protection Mode, offering a choice between enhanced security and access to certain applications.

WWE 2K26 Review – More Money, More Problems

WWE 2K26 features a roster of over 400 wrestlers and presents polished graphics. The gameplay includes minor enhancements, new match types like Inferno and I Quit, and the introduction of thumbtacks as a weapon. The Ringside Pass, a battle pass system with free and premium tiers, allows players to earn XP and unlock new content, but may negatively impact game modes like MyRise by making progression feel grind-heavy. The Island returns with added voice acting but remains focused on cosmetic upgrades. CM Punk’s Showcase mode offers a nostalgic look at his career, though it has limitations. Modes like MyGM and the Creation Suite have expanded, while MyFaction remains VC-heavy. The overall experience is affected by monetization strategies and a sense of redundancy in gameplay.
