HEVN free two-hour demo teases intriguing, contemplative sci-fi exploration
http://www.pcgamer.com/hevn-free-two-hour-demo-teases-intriguing-contemplative-sci-fi-exploration/
When HEVN first caught my eye back in February, I was taken by its premise and, despite noting its supposed Deus Ex and System Shock inspiration, thought it leaned more towards the likes of Event [0] and Soma. Having now spent a couple of hours stalking the lonely corridors of its abandoned Naic space station I can affirm my initial impressions. HEVN is a slow burner, but I'm now keen to see where it steers its story from here on.

 

Here's how PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will be changing loot drops

In a post on Steam today, PlayerUnknown outlined some incoming changes to weapon drop rates in care packages that will arrive in a larger set of patch notes coming tomorrow. The drop rate changes are pretty modest. Hopefully you like getting shot from unseen and unheard assailants: with the VSS becoming a gun that drops across the map rather than simply in loot crates, the main change to PUBG's meta seems like it will be an overall increase in the number of silencers and silenced weapons.

BioWare boss says Anthem is 'science fantasy' like Star Wars or the Marvel Universe
http://www.pcgamer.com/bioware-boss-says-anthem-is-science-fantasy-like-star-wars-or-the-marvel-universe/
Anthem, BioWare's shared-world shooter, will tell the tale of humans on an alien planet who rely on power-armored suits called "Freelancers" to protect them from all sorts of threats. Mass Effect 1 and 2 lead writer Drew Karpyshyn revealed earlier this month that he's working on the project, so it's reasonable to expect that an entertaining story will be told amidst all the shootsplosions.

 

Gorn is a ridiculously violent VR brawler by the Broforce studio

When VR was conceptualised, it wasn't just in the hope that we'd be able to explore strange and fantastical digital worlds. No, there was probably also the notion that VR would allow us to beat the ever-loving crap out of burly shirtless men, without fear of reprisal. And folks, Gorn is that hope and dream come to fruition.

After the teasiest of teasers last year, James shared some cultured thoughts on Bloober Team's Layers of Fear follow-up Observer, after going hands-on with an unreleased demo in February. Within, he claimed Bloober Team's second major project still holds onto the "haunted house tricks" of its forerunner, but that it "breaks up those tiring sequences with contemplative detective work."

Following last week's headshots-only mode last week, Killing Floor's next Weekly Outbreak is Tiny Terror, which makes its various zed enemies—even bosses—shrink when you shoot 'em.

 

Super CloudBuilt release date confirmed
http://www.pcgamer.com/super-cloudbuilt-release-date-confirmed/
In his 2014 review, Emanuel Maiberg largely praised CoilWorks and Rising Star Games' CloudBuilt—billing its "platforming-as-time-trial-racing" premise as one which "puts Sonic to shame." Where the cyber parkour platformer faltered, however, was in its at times confusing visual design, which, having played the game myself since, I can mostly agree with.
