Not only does Resident Evil Village maintain a consistent 60FPS with the full HD+ resolution enabled, but you are also provided with a host of graphical settings that you can tweak to get more performance.
In a stroke of dwarven genius, this cutthroat roguelike combines Terraria with Deep Rock Galactic for one of my favorite Steam Next Fest demos yet
11.10.2023 - 21:41 / gamesradar.com / Deep Rock
I've had my eye on dwarven roguelike Below the Stone for several months, so I was eager to give its Steam Next Fest demo a play. Folks, I'm pleased to report that the Terraria and Deep Rock Galactic vibes I was picking up were dead-on. This is shaping up to be something really special, and handily one of the best Steam Next Fest demos to play this week.
Below the Stone is an isometric action roguelike where you, a promising dwarf explorer generated and customized almost Rogue Legacy-style, dig and fight your way through caves in search of ore and treasure. Armed with whatever tools and supplies you brought from base, perhaps with the help of the game's many vendor NPCs, you head into the procedurally generated underground with specific mission goals. Kill a certain type of enemy, get enough of a particular ore, and so on – then call in a drill pod to return home once you accomplish at least one of the missions you chose.
The crafting system, user interface, and digging animation immediately brought me back to Terraria. Combat feels similar, too, even with the shift in perspective. It's a lot of kiting around while swinging your pickaxe – or axe, sword, or whatever you have to hand – like your life depends on it, because it does. There are also ranged weapons like crossbows, giving the game some toned-down Enter the Gungeon energy, and the game's trailer shows a hugely varied arsenal to discover. Down in the caves, the ore gathering missions and frantic extraction phase – which sees enemies pour in as you count the seconds to the drill pod's landing – tickled the Deep Rock Galactic receptor in my brain, which obviously every human being has.
There are familiar, engrossing elements here, but the balance, presentation, and endearing dwarf motif really make Below the Stone stand out. Within just a few minutes, I started setting those all-important roguelike goals – tools I want to upgrade, ore I want to find, armor I so desperately need to craft. But I also had to ration my supplies. This is a pretty cutthroat roguelike; you lose everything you have on you whenever you die. You can offset this penalty by stashing some resources in the bank for future runs, but you still want to use gear that's strong enough to handle the challenges ahead. No sense in letting your best pickaxe gather dust forever. What's the point of owning a Ferrari if you never take it to the track?
There's this wonderful intersection of risk and reward where you choose your own mission objectives based on their payout, the gear you have, and the resources you need right now. You can play it safe, store your best gear, and set out with a budget loadout on a scouting mission. Or if you feel brave, you can go all-in for a big haul or

This combo of Surviving Mars with factory building has you automate and expand a lunar colony in the wake of disaster
An upcoming management-automation-strategy hybrid called The Crust is looking pretty promising, a concept that looks and plays like it'll be a combination of Surviving Mars and a Factory-building game. You're put in charge of an automated building and mining system on the lunar surface shortly before a disaster that leaves you as one of the only people with a fully functional, operating lunar colony. From there it's up to you to ship resources to Earth, aid disaster survivors, and build up your base's capabilities.

Viral co-op FPS Deep Rock Galactic is getting another spinoff - this time it's a co-op roguelike
Deep Rock Galactic, the quietly huge indie co-op FPS that popped off once again earlier this year with the help of a popular vtuber, is getting a roguelike spinoff. Well, technically a "roguelite," but the difference between the two is incredibly slim and any two people might offer three different explanations. Publisher Ghost Ship Games is really zeroing in on "meta gameplay with permanent progression between missions" with its use of roguelite.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder Hands-On Impressions – Leaping Out of the Comfort Zone
While Nintendo has never given up on the 2D Mario games, there’s long been a sense they’re not the plucky plumber’s top-of-the-line products. The New Super Mario Bros. games are good, polished fun, but they’re a little simple, a little bland, compared to inventive 3D classics like Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Odyssey. That said, could the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Wonder mark an end to this trend?
