The recent surge in new and returning players checking out Season 8 means Apex Legends is currently the fifth most-played game on Steam right now, making it more popular than GTA 5, Rainbow Six Siege, and Team Fortress 2. It's also in the top ten of most-watched games on Twitch , too, which means more people are tuning in to watch Apex Legends than FIFA 21, CS:GO, and Valheim. Main Caustic in Apex Legends? I have bad news - developer Respawn recently said the popular Legend will be "getting some attention in the near future" . For some time, Caustic was one of those Legends on the roster that players rarely spent much quality time with, but after … [Read more...] about Apex Legends hits an all-new concurrent user peak on Steam

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Stream To Take Deep Dive On DLC Fighters Pyra And Mythra March 4
Nintendo recently announced Xenoblade's Pyra and Mythra are coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , but we'll get a much more detailed look at their moves next week. The company has announced an in-depth stream on the new fighters coming March 4 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET. The stream will once again be hosted by game director Masahiro Sakurai, and the announcement promises that he'll reveal a release date. In the past, these Smash Bros. fighter streams have announced that the new fighters are coming very shortly after, usually within a day, so that may mean Pyra and Mythra are releasing next week as well. Pyra and Mythra hail from the RPG Xenoblade Chronicles 2 , and unlike some other similar Smash characters, Mythra isn't an Echo Fighter for Pyra. Instead, you can swap between them at will as one character. We know this will make a difference to their Final Smash move--Pyra uses Burning Sword and Mythra uses Sacred Arrow--but it's a fair bet that there will be other differences as … [Read more...] about Super Smash Bros.

Five new Steam games you probably missed (March 1, 2021)
On an average day, about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that's a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is released on Steam. So that’s exactly what we’ve done. If nothing catches your fancy this week, we've gathered the best PC games you can play right now and a running list of the 2021 games that are launching this year. Rhythm Doctor Steam page Rhythm Doctor generated a fair bit of interest back in 2019, and it was demoed as far back as 2014. It's a one button rhythm game starring a doctor (hence the name I'm guessing) who defibrillate hearts in concert with their beats. Seems pretty simple, except each patient is stricken with a unique illness that will confuse things a bit: some suffer a bad case of the polyrhythms, while others come with hectic unconventional time signatures. … [Read more...] about Five new Steam games you probably missed (March 1, 2021)
15-year-old Cthulhu game Dark Corners of the Earth gets full mod support
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is a horror game developed by Headfirst and published by Bethesda, which sank like a stone on its initial release. But like Lovecraft said, that is not dead which can eternal lie, and Dark Corners has built a reputation as a cult classic in the years since, thanks in part to a memorable hotel chase sequence . It's a buggy old game with some frustrating difficulty spikes and an even more jarring swing into action game territory than Bloodlines—and like Bloodlines, it has an essential fan patch. DCoTEPatch is the work of sucklead, who has continued tinkering with the game and now created an injection hook that forces it to check a mods directory before running . What that means is this 15-year-old game is now compatible with the Vortex mod manager. It's got a page on NexusMods too, though so far it's only hosting a couple of existing graphics updates: Creepy HDR ReShade and a 5.5GB texture pack called Sharp Corners of the … [Read more...] about 15-year-old Cthulhu game Dark Corners of the Earth gets full mod support
