New releases: Killers everywhere

Plus, Final Fantasy XIV, Lost Planet 3, and your funny football-like game I’ll be spending this week playing catch up, but there’s no dearth of new releases.Killer is Deadis tempting me, because bloody hell it looks flashy, but I’ll probably leave until I’m not drowning in games.Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Rebornis notable too, if only because it was originally a shockingly poor MMO and had to be entirely rebuilt.

Portal 2 had a wall-walking gel that made players sick

Gels are the big new addition toPortal 2, bestowing all sorts of physics-defying nonsense upon the player. According to writer Eric Wolpaw, one gel that was cut from the final game allowed Chell to walk on walls, but it made people too sick. According to Wolpaw, “While this added a new twist to the game, the effect was so disorientating that it made people nauseous.” Valve took this complaint so seriously that it worked on combating nausea evenafterthe gel was cut, changing the framerate and physics to “help anyone playPortal 2, even if they do experience a feeling of nausea while playing other first-person games....

Bloodborneis the darling of FromSoftware’s already stunning stable. The 2015 gothic horror masterpiece placed players in the shoes of a foreigner looking for a cure in a cursed city.

As intoxicating as the very blood for which it’s named Developed by FromSoftware for Japan Studio, a former subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment,Bloodbornemade its debut exclusively on the PlayStation 4....

Sail the Skyrim seas with this point-to-point ship mod

The legacy ofSkyrimis such that it feels as though there will never be a time when it’s not in the gaming limelight. I’m partly to blame for that, given all the articles I do aboutfan-made mods. But what can I say? The community does a lot of work to keepTES5‘s head above the water, improving on Bethesda’s original release. Oh hell, let’s talk about one more. This one comes from Nexus Mods userEnneal(as spotted byDSO Gaming), and is for those who like a little sea travel with their (specifically Special Edition of)Skyrim....
