Deadlight: Director's Cut Seattle

As part of the ‘Pinata Madness’ event on GOG.com, players can now download Deadlight: Director’s Cut for the very low price of free. Be warned though, this offer is only available for the next 44 hours at the time of writing so make sure to get a move on.

Deadlight is a survival horror game from Tequila Works, originally released in 2012. Set in an apocalyptic world, Deadlight sees players take on the role of Randall Harper as he makes his way through recently destroyed America. Randall is looking for any sign of his family while also avoiding being munched by the reanimated dead, commonly described as ‘the shadow’.

As a side-scroller with platforming elements, Deadlight is a new take on the survival-horror genre that looks to provide a tense and cinematic experience. Whether you’re taking on the dead with scarce resources or you’re using the environment to sneak past enemies, Tequila Works has created a fully realized 2D landscape of 1986 Seattle for you to explore.

The director’s cut, released in 2016, enhances the original game in every way, from improved visuals to extra animations and textures. It also adds the ‘Survival Arena’, an added game mode where players will have to ‘put their survival skills to the test’. This translates to taking on waves of zombies as you build interactive defenses and use all of the weapons at your disposal.

This edition also comes with the original developer diaries and in-game digital art book, if you’re into bonus goodies or the Deadlight series as a whole.

While Deadlight: Director’s Cut released to fairly average reviews, you can’t argue with the price and it offers several genuinely intense moments. Swing over by GOG.com to pick up your copy but remember, you’ve only got until 16 August!

Deadlight Director’s Cut is available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC.

Battle Pass for Crash Team Rumble is not necessary to unlock new characters; the upcoming closed beta

The competitive multiplayer spinoff of Crash Team Rumble, which will be available on both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, will debut on June 20. A closed beta for the game will be held in the coming weeks, and the good news that character unlocks won’t be dependent on Battle Pass progress was just revealed.

Publisher Activision made its intentions very clear in a lengthy blog post, writing, “New heroes and powers will be unlocked through in-game challenges rather than being connected to the Battle Pass because we want every player to have a balanced experience while enjoying the N. Sane fun that Crash Team Rumble has to offer.” “For those who wish to get a WUMP on the season’s newest looks, Battle Passes will solely reward cosmetic goods; however, cosmetics will still be earnable through participation in seasonal events.”

Those who preorder the platformer/battle royale mix can take part in a limited beta between April 20 and 24. For those who want to jump right in, online matches against other players and practice matches versus AI bots will be offered.

How does Crash Team Rumble strike you? Will you participate in the closed beta test?

Indie Not on PlayStation Wins BAFTA Game of the Year, Beating PS5, PS4’s Greatest Hits

God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring were both beaten out for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award for Best Game by a tiny little independent title called Vampire Survivors, which isn’t even accessible on PlayStation systems. Do you really believe that?

Putting all lightheartedness aside, Vampire Survivors was something of a phenomenon in 2022, and you would have to be living under a rock (or live offline) to have missed it. It burst into prominence and eventually became a favorite among industry insiders. A fiendishly addictive fundamental gameplay loop hides beneath a deceptively simple exterior, earning developer Luca Galante, aka Poncle, this year’s BAFTA for Game Design as well as another honor.

There hasn’t been any news of the mega-hit coming to PlayStation as of yet, so there’s probably some sort of exclusivity agreement in place or anything else blocking it. Perhaps one day we will be granted access to it, but until then, console yourself with one of the numerous high-end games on our preferred platform, such as The Last of Us, which won Best Game back in 2014.

In slightly related news, Shuhei Yoshida, a PlayStation legend, received a BAFTA Fellowship, the highest honor bestowed by the organization.

What do you think about the Vampire Survivors’ victory—do you believe it was well-deserved or totally absurd?

While we felt Crusader Kings 3: Console Edition was fantastic when it was launched on the PS5 last year, we were only able to play the base game. We are incredibly grateful that the great Royal Court extension will be coming to consoles. This is a regal proclamation that we could not be more delighted to make.

It’s pretty difficult to switch back after you’ve experienced the conveniences and enhancements that Royal Court offers to the well-stocked table, as anyone who has played Crusader Kings 3 on PC knows. It’s not just for show; players will be able to use trophies and priceless pieces of art to adorn their throne room, which adds a minor RPG system to an already magnificently complex adventure.

If you haven’t already and like the basic Crusader King’s experience, we highly encourage you to give Royal Court a try. This expansion is the ideal reason to jump back in for another round of backroom maneuvering. Are you going to create your own royal court?
