Marauding across post-apocalyptic lands and clubbing things with a rock just got a touch more structured. Early Access survival epic Rust has just been patched to include a wide-ranging XP system.

 

THE SCI-FI SANDBOX ADVENTURE STARBOUND WILL BE OUT LATER THIS MONTH

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-sci-fi-sandbox-adventure-starbound-will-be-out-later-this-month/

It's been a little over three years since the side-scrolling “extraterrestrial sandbox adventure game” Starbound first went up for preorder. The game has come a long way since, through multiple major updates, mod support, and, a couple of months ago, news that it's finally (almost) ready to leave Early Access. Today came the next big step: The announcement of an official launch date of July 22.

 

PUSH ME PULL YOU HITTING PC NEXT WEEK

http://www.pcgamer.com/push-me-pull-you-hitting-pc-next-week/

Look, we're all thinking it: how do the weird wormy people from co-operative sports game Push Me Pull You go to the bathroom, given that, like CatDog, they have a head at either end? Two players control each wormy person during the game, trying to coerce a ball into their side of their court, while two rival players (or one dexterous individual) attempts the same.

>>It is a weird game indeed.

 

PONY ISLAND DEV ANNOUNCES SATIRICAL MYSTERY THE HEX

http://www.pcgamer.com/pony-island-dev-announces-satirical-mystery-the-hex/

My tolerance for satirical games was pretty much obliterated by Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, but I'm pretty sure that Pony Island developer Daniel Mullins' next game The Hex will be at least interesting, and possibly great. Not least because PC Gamer gave Pony Island a staggering 91% in our review. The Hex is an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery about a group of shifty people trapped in a tavern during a raging storm. The barkeep learns that one of them is planning a murder, and...oh yeah, each character is based on a different genre.

 

SUMMER GAMES DONE QUICK RAISED NEARLY $1.3 MILLION FOR CHARITY

Summer Games Done Quick has sure gone quick, huh? It seems like only 8 days ago that we offered our guide to the charity speedrunning shindig, and now the weeklong deconstruction and celebration of games is over for another six months or so (until the regular Winter event starts sometime in January).

http://www.pcgamer.com/insomniacs-underwater-metroidvania-song-of-the-deep-is-out-tomorrow-watch-the-launch-trailer/

Insomniac Games—of console favourites Rachet and Clank, Sunset Overdrive, and Resistance fame—is set to release its lovely-looking 2D Metroidvania Song of the Deep tomorrow. To mark the occasion, the Californian developer has dropped a launch trailer that offers a brief glimpse at 12 year old protagonist Merryn’s journey to the bottom of the ocean in search of her absent father.

 

VALVE FORCED TO RETHINK TEAM FORTRESS 2’S CASUAL MATCHMAKING

http://www.pcgamer.com/valve-forced-to-rethink-team-fortress-2s-casual-matchmaking/

As you may recall, Valve announced matchmaking in Team Fortress 2 as a “high priority” feature back in April last year. It may have taken a touch longer to arrive than expected, however it was finally added to the multiplayer first-person shooter on Thursday.

 

NO MAN’S SKY DEVS ALREADY WORKING ON FIRST UPDATE

http://www.pcgamer.com/no-mans-sky-devs-already-working-on-first-update/

Is it August yet? No, it’s not. But, having just consulted my sun dial, it is just 28 days until Hello Games’ space sandbox ‘em up No Man’s Sky launches itself onto our PC telly boxes and I for one am quite looking forward to it. It went gold the other day, you might’ve spied, which I think means I’m not alone in my state of preemptive excitement.
