Papa's Freezeria, the ice cream-themed game in Flipline Studio's long-running series, now has a permanent home on Steam. Turns out Flipline was teasing its arrival for a few weeks, though I had no idea until this very accurate Reddit post. It's a more beefed-up version of the original, offering more ingredients, new customers and new features like customer outfits and daily specials.
>> Not my favorite Papa's game, but I can't say I didn't play it for hours back then.

Overwatch 2's new support hero can sabotage his own team, but Blizzard hopes players will behave
https://www.pcgamer.com/overwatch-2s-new-support-hero-can-sabotage-his-own-team-but-blizzard-hopes-players-will-behave/
It's hard to appreciate Overwatch 2's newest support hero knowing that at any moment he could absolutely ruin your day.
On April 11, Overwatch 2 will introduce Lifeweaver, a charming Thai hero who has the ability to pull his teammates toward him. If an ally is in danger, Lifeweaver can cast a shield onto them and yank them to safety. He can also yank them into danger, or off the map.

Here's something to do while you wait for Diablo 4: Plot out Diablo 4 characters with this incredibly handy build planner tool
https://www.pcgamer.com/heres-something-to-do-while-you-wait-for-diablo-4-plot-out-diablo-4-characters-with-this-incredibly-handy-build-planner-tool/
My secret for success in Diablo 4 is simple: Barbarian, Bash, Upheaval, rinse and repeat until there's nothing but blood and gristle as far as the eye can see. Trust me, it works. Some people prefer a more complicated approach to min-maxing their action-RPG stand-ins, though, and for them, this Diablo 4 build planner will be extremely helpful.

Activision is tormenting Call of Duty cheaters in order to study them, stealing their weapons and turning their enemies invisible
https://www.pcgamer.com/activision-is-tormenting-call-of-duty-cheaters-in-order-to-study-them-stealing-their-weapons-and-turning-their-enemies-invisible/
Call of Duty's Ricochet Anti-Cheat system doesn't always ban suspected Warzone and Modern Warfare 2 cheaters on sight. Sometimes, it keeps them around, but makes their efforts to cheat futile by applying "mitigations." For example, a mitigation called Damage Shield "disables the cheater's ability to inflict critical damage on other players" so that, no matter how hard they try, they will never score a kill.

Cities: Skylines 2 developer says multiplayer would make the 'core player experience' worse
https://www.pcgamer.com/cities-skylines-2-developer-says-multiplayer-would-make-the-core-player-experience-worse/
A month ago we learned Cities: Skylines 2 is in the works over at Colossal Order and Paradox Interactive, and that it'll be released sometime later this year.
(...)
Today Colossal Order gave us a few new titbits of information about Cities: Skylines 2 via Twitter—including one that firmly shoots down that Unreal rumor. Cities: Skylines 2 will be built in Unity like the original, not in Unreal 5, Colossal Order confirmed in a tweet.

Free Total War: Warhammer 3 DLC releasing alongside Chaos Dwarfs detailed

I'm pretty stoked for the Chaos Dwarf DLC that's coming to Total War: Warhammer 3 on April 13, but that's not the only thing to look forward to if you're a hammer-head (a Warhammer nerd, that is, not a kind of shark). As Creative Assembly explains in the latest Total War blog, the Chaos Dwarfs will arrive alongside update 3.0 and a free add-on called Mirror of Madness.

Agony spin-off Succubus VR has been banned from Steam
https://www.pcgamer.com/agony-spin-off-succubus-vr-has-been-banned-from-steam/
Madmind Studio, the developer behind horny, hell-based horror games like Agony, has had one of its upcoming releases removed from Steam. The page for Succubus: Hellish Orgy VR was removed, remaining visible only on SteamDB , despite the fact the 2D version of Succubus is still up for sale on Steam.

Forget the rocket launcher, you can annihilate one of Resident Evil 4 remake's toughest bosses with a couple of eggs
https://www.pcgamer.com/forget-the-rocket-launcher-you-can-annihilate-one-of-resident-evil-4-remakes-toughest-bosses-with-a-couple-of-eggs/
I love Ramón Salazar, Resident Evil 4's ridiculous little lord boy who manages to look like a child and an old man all at once, while somehow only being 20 years old, but his boss fight can be a bit of a chore in the recent remake. Luckily, there's a way around it: Pelt that tiny aristo with eggs.
