Steam’s most wishlisted – and controversial – game The Day Before will release next month, after another delay
Will it ever be The Day Of for much-delayed and gossip-laden zombie MMO The Day Before? We’ll apparently find out in just over a month, as The Day Before’s release date has now been announced as December 5th following yet another slide back from its previous date of November 10th. That’s after developers Fntastic previously promised that there wouldn’t be any more delays – something its latest ‘Final Trailer’ presumably vows once again.
This 27-inch 1440p 165Hz Dell monitor is down to just £175.75 with a coupon code
Dell’s Black Friday deals have begun, and one nicety is that 5% off codes still work to knock a little extra off of their asking prices. Today we’re looking at a 27-inch monitor that hits the current price/performance sweet spot of 1440p and 165Hz, the Dell S2722DGM. It’s available for £175 when you use code TELEGRAPH5MON, with discounts to £165 possible if you’re a part of the NHS.
Thirsty Suitors review: a breezy, janky RPG with emotional maturity
Thirsty Suitors is a dazzling new entry in a genre that is always badly in need of bolstering: turn-based RPGs without anime aesthetics and a story about something other than killing God. The game sees you play as Jala, who returns to her dilapidated hometown after getting dumped by the older woman for whom she abandoned college and her high school sweetheart. Waiting for her is a disappointed mother, a soon-to-be-wed sister who refuses to even speak to her, and a shadowy cabal formed of her spurned exes from the time in her life when rampant, unrelenting teen horniness nearly ripped the town apart. Jala’s journey to redemption and genuine adulthood will take her to the psychic plane to do cathartic (if overly simplistic) battle with her wronged exes, to the local skatepark to pull off some janky grinds, and to grounded emotional revelations that are rarely written this well in videogames.
Game design as a Harvesting: the implications of Amnesia’s most horrible idea
Beware major plot spoilers for the entire Amnesia series, together with descriptions of fictional torturing techniques.
The most ghoulish of Amnesia’s many ghoulish ideas is “vitae”. It’s a luminous, blue-green fluid that can be used as an energy source, a chemical catalyst and a supernatural healing agent. Each Amnesia game is broadly a story about the production of vitae, with some levels consisting of huge distillation and refining apparata, and major plot developments tied to what you do with it. In the original Amnesia: The Dark Descent, you’ll brew potions using vitae in order to keep a decapitated head alive. In the latest game, Amnesia: Rebirth, you’ll use ornate metal cannisters of the stuff like batteries to power otherworldly machines. Vitae is the blood and breath of Amnesia, the grease upon the narrative axels, the fuel in its boiler, the miracle McGuffin that sustains its nastier flights of fantasy. But what is vitae, exactly? Agony.
Cities: Skylines 2’s new editor tool looks neat
Cities: Skylines 2 launched last week and Colossal Order have spent the time since combatting performance issues and teeth conspiracies. Today they released a first video of its upcoming editor tool, however, and it looks neat.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has a voiced main character
Your character in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 isn’t a blank slate and will speak during dialogue scenes. New developres The Chinese Room introduced the protagonist in a new video, in which they show a couple of interactive conversation and then layout the backstory underpinning the troubled narrative RPG.
PC Game Pass is getting nearly every interesting game in November
Narrative clambering adventure Jusant, which Alice B just labelled a masterpiece, has arrived on Xbox Game Pass today. Grungy, low fantasy stabbing sandbox Wartales has also arrived, several months after we labelled it thrilling.
But there are several more big hitters due across November including the latest Football Manager, Like A Dragon Gaiden: Really Long Subtitle, and bathhouse management sim Spirittea. To my mind, basically every major, interesting game from November is on the way to the subscription.
Starfield mod unlocks the ability to build your own spacestations – “all of the code was already in the game”
In smashing news for the galaxy’s irrational planet-haters, some adept tinkerer has created a Starfield mod that lets you build your own space-stations. Mind you, it appears the associated functionality was secretly part of Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG all along, perhaps destined to be unlocked by a DLC pack, like a slumbering fairytale royal awaiting true love’s kiss.
The modder in question is vexthecollector, whose catchily-named Spacestations for Outposts lets you bolt together hab modules, windows and docking bays to fashion your very own Deep Space Nine. Sadly for my character, the acutely terra-phobic star pirate Mary Read, you’ll need to first build an outpost on a planet in order to access the goods.
