Indie atmospheric horror Downfall is now on Steam

The Cat Lady was one of the strangest and most intriguing games I've played back in 2012. I started it up expecting a run-of-the-mill horror adventure game but rather than jump scares The Cat Lady dealt with topics such as death, suicide and the general feeling of hopelessness in a serious, mature and very compelling way.

So you can imagine my surprise when I recently realized that Downfall, in many ways a spiritual successor to The Cat Lady, has released on Steam with purely positive reviews. Here's the trailer so you can get a good whiff of the atmosphere present in Downfall:

XCOM 2 mod removes the silly delays between actions

The single biggest issue XCOM 2 has is the overwhelming amount of short but very aggravating delays that leave the camera staring in to nothing while the game slowly composes itself and finally continues on with the action.

Initially I thought this was due to my hardware imitating Homer Simpson and simply flopping on the ground in exertion but as it turns out almost all of it can be removed through the use of the amazing "Stop Wasting My Time" mod. Here's the list of issues the mod can address:

The Ship: Remasted has been delayed for a week in order to introduce online multiplayer

I mentioned recently that the multiplayer murder-mystery The Ship: Remasted would be entering Early Access on February 15th but unfortunately it seems that the launch will be delayed for a week. The reason for the delay is the large amount of negative feedback over the fact that The Ship: Remasted was set to initially release with only LAN multiplayer support.

After seeing so many community members express their dislike towards this the developers have opted to delay the launch for a whole week in order to ensure that at least basic online functionality is present. Here's the announcement message:

Hitman GO is coming to Steam on February 23rd

Hitman GO is a bit of a strange take on the Hitman franchise. Rather than having huge open-ended levels and real-time action Hitman GO focuses on a large amounts of short but difficult turn-based challenges.

It initially released on mobile platforms and the Windows 10 store to some great reviews and is now making its way to Steam, PS4 and Vita on February 23rd at a €7,99/$7,99 price tag. Here's the announcement trailer showcasing some of the gameplay:

DayZ renderer brings new and improved rain effects and performance improvements

I don't think its much of a secret at this point that DayZ's development has been a bit of a letdown, to put things lightly. Even after years in Early Access the standalone version is more or less on par with the mod and nowhere near the lofty promises it made when it first launched.

There is a however a ray of sunshine in all of this as the DayZ team has recently showcased their work on a new Direct X 11 renderer that brings with it great performance improvements but most noticeably an upgraded weather system. Here's the video and if you don't feel like watching all of it I'd suggest skipping to around 5 minutes in order to see it all in action:
