In the depths of Blizzard Entertainment, the first round of Overwatch balancing is being debated. McCree is getting a sure-fire nerf—Fan The Hammer is being debuffed to be less of a tank-killer. D'Va will be buffed in ways we're not yet sure of. Now it transpires that sniper extraordinaire Widowmaker could be reined in, pending further talks.

Paradox Interactive has released a new bit of free Cities: Skylines DLC called Match Day that enables digital mayors to build a football stadium in their cities, attract a team, and then deal with the consequences: The ticket income is sweet, but traffic on game day can be a real headache. The DLC also adds new stadium-related policies, and there's a new hat (and new chirps) for Chirper, too.

Steam Dev Days debuted in 2014 as a two-day conference that brought game makers together to talk about their work, attend lectures, and get their hands on SteamOS and various bits of then-new Steam hardware. Valve elected to skip the show in 2015, opting to focus on GDC instead, but it's bringing it back for 2016.

The sprawling tactical RPG is free for the next two days (until Sunday afternoon), but if you want to keep playing there's a 50 per cent discount, so you can snap it up for $19.99.

 

CUPHEAD IS A PLATFORMER NOW, NOT JUST A BOSS RUSH

http://www.pcgamer.com/cuphead-is-a-platformer-now-not-just-a-boss-rush/

Cuphead has always been gorgeous, but there's always been a bit of concern regarding whether it'll be fun. I played it last year and found it charming but also bloody annoying. It was a super-challenging boss rush, and that's a very niche proposition.

>>Cuphead may end being the new MegaMan game that fans wanted and Keiji Inafune will fail to deliver.

Daedalic Entertainment, developer of the upcoming space exploration RPG The Long Journey Home, is announcing a new game called State of Mind at E3.

Things are so bad people have begun abandoning their real lives, digitizing their minds, and transferring themselves into a peaceful virtual utopia called City 5.

 

That's it for the week. Have a good and gaming weekend.
