https://www.dsogaming.com/news/new-patch-for-the-amazing-free-metroid-2-remake-another-metroid-2-remake-available-for-download/
Reddit’s ‘lLoneWandererl’ has released a brand new update for the incredible free remake of Metroid 2, Another Metroid 2 Remake. According to the release notes, this patch fixes some bugs and resolves various issues related to shaders. Moreover, lLoneWandererl – who was the project lead – has decided to step down (and most likely another user will take his place).
Going into slightly more details, patch 1.42 allows for a quick music cross-fade when entering item rooms, fixes missing pixels on Fusion suit sprite, fixes visual issue with Ramulken eye, streamlines modifiers.ini (some options have been removed and/or made permanent to unify the experience) and fixes confirmation prompt not appearing when attempting to overwrite a save.

The tech demo will be a chance for Half-Life fans to provide feedback on the team’s progress. The team says that “Ravenholm provides an obvious choice for a demonstration of our skills, taking a fan-favourite location in Half-Life 2 and re-imagining it in Unreal Engine 4, fourteen years later.”

New Rune: Ragnarok in-engine trailer released
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/new-rune-ragnarok-in-engine-trailer-released/
Human Head Studios has released a brand new in-engine trailer for Rune: Ragnarok. This trailer showcases the game’s visuals, showing some of the game’s enemies, NPCs and environments.
As we’ve already stated, the game feels rough around the edges.

Not that this is a bad thing, especially for those that just want a new Rune game, but it may quickly get repetitive.
