Salt and Sacrifice, sequel to the flawed yet highly enjoyable 2D Souls-like RPG Salt and Sanctuary, has now been unleashed onto PC and PlayStation. Much like its predecessor it brings with it a large world filled with treasure and secrets, an assortment of tricky enemies that will happily smash you into the dirt if you don't pay attention, as well as a variety of different gear and upgrades to help keep things interesting.

What all of this looks like in actual gameplay, as well as what the story is even all about, that you can get a glimpse at through the freshly posted launch trailer. Have a gander:

Crowns and Pawns, a Broken Sword and Syberia inspired point & click adventure, has now arrived

Inspired by the classics like Broken Sword and Syberia, the freshly released Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit is a point & click puzzle-adventure. As you might imagine given that brief description alone, Crowns and Pawns is all about solving a variety of tricky problems, navigating obstacles in a way that no ordinary human would ever even consider, as well as chatting up an assortment of amusing characters along the way.

What I find the most interesting, however, is that Crowns and Pawns not only allows you to customize your character, but that the way you look actually plays into the puzzles themselves and how people respond to you. It's not a particularly complex system, so don't get any big ideas, but it's still a neat little touch to help you get immersed into the story.

[Update]: Onnamusha Rider has now arrived, and so far her playstyle really does seem to offer a fresh and unique take on Furi's gameplay!

In announcement that comes completely out of nowhere, The Game Bakers team has just unveiled a brand new DLC for their 2016 boss-battling action game Furi. The Onnamusha DLC brings with it a brand new character that features her own unique assortment of moves, gameplay mechanics and approaches for each boss.

Onnamusha Rider, the titular character, will be a powerful fighter that alternates between two different stances in order to best approach each situation. You can go fast and agile in order to strike at the bosses in the rare few moments they're not spewing attacks towards you, or go for the riskier approach that involves slower yet far more lethal attacks. Either way you'll be building up the special Star meter in the process, which can then be used to unleash some serious damage upon your foes.

Apex Legends' Season 13 preview is here to show off the new defense-focused legend Newcastle

[Update]: Season 13 - Saviors has now arrived alongside a whole host of balance changes.

I hope you're ready for a bit of a shake-up, because Apex Legends' chunky Season 13 update is coming this May 10th, 2022. It'll bring with it Bangalore's brother Newcastle as a brand new and defense-focused legend, a couple of fun new locations to spice up the Storm Point map, the usual assortment of new skins and cosmetics to collect, as well as yet another rebalance of how ranked play progression works.

Unfortunately, the rumors about the Nemesis assault rifle being a part of Season 13 have ended up not being true. Whether the weapon will arrive in a subsequent update, or if the whole thing was scrapped entirely somewhere along the way, I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

[Update]: Outward: Definitive Edition has now been unleashed alongside a surprisingly musical trailer!

As I've talked about throughout my review, Outward is a brutal yet enthralling exploration-focused RPG, quite similar to the Gothic or Risen series. If that sounds like exactly the kind of adventure you'd like to dive into, you'll be happy to hear that the new and improved Outward: Definitive Edition is launching on May 17th, 2022 for PC, PlayStation and Xbox!

The Definitive Edition will come bundled with both of the expansions, The Soroboreans and The Three Brothers, as well as a whole host of balance tweaks, quality-of-life improvements and brand new content. The exact list of additions hasn't been announced just yet, but given my experience with Outward, it's probably going to involve being chased around by something big and scary!

Northgard's Sword & Solace update has spruced up everything from multiplayer to the UI

Given that Shiro Games have literally just released Dune: Spice Wars into Early Access, I figured they would take a little break from Northgard in order to give the new game a bit of a head start. However, in a refreshing twist, they've instead decided to unleash a rather chunky and quality-of-life focused update for Northgard!

The freshly released Sword & Solace brings with it an assortment of UI improvements to fix inconsistencies between the various menus, as well as to make creating and accessing custom games an easier process. Similarly, the multiplayer ranking system (Glory Points) has been greatly broadened, on top of making it so only players within a certain Glory Point range can join the same lobbies. This should hopefully result in much more balanced matches all across the board.

After being delayed time and time again, The Stanley Parable's remastered and enhanced Ultra Deluxe version has now finally been unleashed! It brings with it a variety of visual improvements while still staying true to the original's style, as well as a ton of new content and secrets to explore!

The exact list of changes is nowhere to be found, which is probably for the best as The Stanley Parable is one of those games you really want to experience without any sort of foreknowledge. After all, driving the poor narrator insane is a whole lot funnier when you're actually trying to do the right thing!
