Warframe’s new update is exactly what I wanted, with an adorable mushroom frame and much-needed mod quest

Players often start their Warframe journey with Excalibur, Mag, or Volt, but some are drawn to other frames, such as Garuda. The author found Saryn Prime, obtained from a Twitch drop at Tennocon 2024, to be a better fit for their playstyle. The primary frames they currently use are Nyx and Oraxia, with excitement for a new frame teased at Tennocon. The upcoming Warframe update, titled The Vallis Undermind, introduces a new area called The Deepmines beneath the Orb Vallis on Venus. Players must connect with a new bounty vendor named Nightcap in Fortuna to access this area. The update features a new resource called Fergoline, which players can feed to a creature known as 'The Prince' for visions of The Deepmines' history. Nokko, the 62nd Warframe, is a support frame with abilities such as Stinkbrain, Brightbonnet, Reroot, and Sporespring. He has a passive ability called Vital Decay. Players can unlock Nokko by purchasing him with Platinum or grinding Nightcap's bounties for blueprints. The Vallis Undermind update also includes The Teacher quest for modding education, a rework of Oberon, and new cosmetics. The update launches on October 15, and players logging in between October 15 and October 21 will receive the base Oberon frame for free.

Every game is a roguelike deckbuilder now, but I’ve finally found a few that have stopped me being a hater

9 Kings is an early access game where players defend their kingdom using cards to strategically place units and buildings against aggressive monarchs. Upgrading units and buildings is done by overlaying cards, and spells can provide new abilities. Players can acquire cards from various themes during battles, allowing for diverse builds. The King is Watching features grid-based gameplay and kingdom defense but lacks the fluidity of 9 Kings, requiring significant time investment for resource grinding. It introduces a mechanic where players must keep their gaze on buildings for them to function, adding tension and strategy. Drop Duchy reimagines Tetris as a kingdom-building roguelike deckbuilder, where players use tetrominos generated from cards to construct their kingdoms. Building prerequisites depend on surrounding tetrominos, and completing lines rewards players with resource bonuses. These three games showcase diversity within the deckbuilding genre, each offering a unique experience while sharing foundational elements.

Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game review

Players immerse themselves in a life simulation game called Tales of the Shire: A The Lord of the Rings Game, set in the town of Bywater, where they experience the daily lives of hobbits through activities like cooking, fishing, and farming. The game is developed by Wētā Workshop and published by Private Division, priced at .99 in the U.S. and £29.99 in the UK. Players take on the role of a newcomer helping local hobbits, engaging in detailed environments to forage for ingredients and prepare meals. The cooking system allows players to create various dishes, enhancing the gameplay experience, while foraging and fishing offer limited engagement. Farming is restricted to small planter boxes, and quests often involve repetitive tasks. The game features complex hobbit characters, adding depth to the narrative, but overall, it may lack gameplay variety and depth.

Peak review

Peak is a cooperative climbing game developed by Landcrab and published by Aggro Crab, set to launch on June 16, 2025, priced at .99 / £6.39. It supports multiplayer experiences for up to four players, where they must scale a mountain on a deserted island while managing hunger and navigating treacherous terrain. Players can find food and climbing gear throughout the map, but some food items may cause debuffs. The game emphasizes teamwork, with players assisting each other during challenges like snowstorms and diverse biomes. Solo play lacks the dynamic interactions of multiplayer, making it feel isolating. Peak features responsive controls and satisfying gameplay mechanics.
