Hyper Scape feels like something that happened ages ago, but Ubisoft's failed battle royale game was shut down in April 2022 after halting its content updates a year before that. The game itself wasn't anything special, yet no small amount of FPS veterans praised its core traversal and movement mechanics. This is why a passionate fan is attempting to bring it back from the live-service graveyard.

Square Enix's Paranormasight sequel is a superbly written visual novel that's stronger than its predecessor in every way

Part of your world. Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo was one of the most delightful surprises for the Switch; a visual novel that broke the fourth wall in unique ways while telling a compelling story laced with horror. The sequel, Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse, is more of the same, and that’s a good thing. If Square Enix wants to keep putting out new Paranormasight cases for the foreseeable future, that’s A-okay with me. Unlike the first title, The Mermaid’s Curse spends a litt...

The ver. 1.1.8 patch will drop later on today, weighing in at 2.91 GB on Switch 2. Fortunately, it looks like it includes a fairly decent amount of content.

The Rogue Prince of Persia might not be one of the most popular roguelites around, but it's charmed enough veterans and newcomers since it launched into 1.0 last year. We figured it would be ending its development run shortly afterwards, but Evil Empire (one of the studios now hard at work on the next Castlevania) isn't done upgrading it yet.

Don’t expect the Steam Deck to be easier to get anytime soon. Valve has posted a notice on the Steam Deck page with a warning that the handheld gaming console “may be out of stock intermittently” in certain regions “due to memory and storage shortages.” The company also reiterated that the more affordable Steam Deck LCD is no longer in production and will no longer be available once stocks run out.

As feared, the recent uptick in Steam Decks being noted as out of stock is down to the ongoing memory crisis.

Cue companies like Valve stuggling to keep on securing as much as they need to make and sell hardware without interruption.
