In its ceaseless mission to let players parry anything and everything, indie Soulslike V.A Proxy now lets you parry the literal earth to avoid fall damage.
You might recognize V.A Proxy from the gameplay clips that frequently go viral on social media, showing how players will be able to parry ultra-quick enemy mechs, a nuclear bomb, and even God itself, among other outlandish things. Next up is: the ground.
Developer Pyro Lith posted a snippet on social media to show how the move works. “While falling from big heights or doing ground slams, you can parry the floor to get an explosive jump that can stack with other movement options,” the developer explains in the Tweet embedded below. Parrying earth seems like a good way to avoid fall damage, but can also double as a stylish way to boost through the desolate alien world.

That’s in addition to the other movement options like, say, grappling across a flying mechanized leviathan. V.A Proxy seems to be reveling in the maximalism that attracts so many to the spectacle-slasher genre, but where does the game go from here? How many other things can we parry before the novelty wears off? Is there even a limit? Probably not.
We’ll find out when the game is ready for release, but for now, V.A Proxy has a playable demo available via Steam right now. “V.A Proxy is a fast-paced parry-focused combat game with a dynamic megastructure to explore,” reads the storefront description, “it follows the story of three machines that seek freedom as they fall deeper into the guts of this world.” It’s not entirely clear if we play as the three separate machines, or if we’re hunting them, but regardless, I can’t wait for what is arguably the coolest game on the horizon.

Ever been idly clicking through the Steam store and something causes you to immediately hit the brakes and add a game to the top of your wishlist? That happened to me today while looking at upcoming city builders. There's just something about an isometric city builder with retro pixel art that immediately appeals to me, so Metropolis 1998 grabbed my attention with just a few screenshots.

The Nintendo Switch is already a versatile console - but we always want more. What do you need when you want a bigger screen than your handheld can provide, but don't have access to the full TV experience? The ability to play Nintendo Switch on your iPad or laptop screen, of course.
When talking about SNEG’s efforts to re-release Strategy Simulation Inc.’s old PC catalog, I mentioned that one of their most significant endeavors was putting SSI’s D&D games back on storefronts. I bought them some time ago. I haven’t played them. They intimidate me.

I love how Microsoft Flight Simulator exists in the background now, like the distant roar of an overhead flight path. Not only is it just nice to have a shiny, new version of one of the gaming OGs there to pick up and play at any time, every now and then it drops an absolutely gorgeous new trailer showing off some wild technical wizardry or hyper-detailed new cityscape. That's exactly what's happened now, with Flight Sim's latest update inviting you to pay a flying visit to an eclectic collection of European cities.
Unforetold: Witchstone was maybe the biggest surprise for me at our PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted showcase. The Spearhead Games CRPG almost evokes Larian's first Divinity: Original Sin game in its presentation, but instead of pursuing cinematic RPG production values, Witchstone is like an alternate evolutionary path emphasizing the construction of an open-ended, RPG sandbox.
New Year’s resolutions typically involve adjustments to one’s way of life, like a vow to exercise regularly, or a resolution to travel more in the coming year, but for those who are passionate about the video gaming hobby, a New Year’s resolution can significantly improve the gaming experience, whether on PC or console. Video games are certainly a luxury and a form of entertainment, but they can provide a cathartic break from the stresses of life like any other pastime. Getting into a rut, or developing unfortunate gaming habits, can cause the hobby to bring less joy than it could otherwise. A few resolutions can bring back the feeling of unfettered fun to video games.
Ottawa will keep pushing Meta to comply with a new law requiring large internet companies to pay Canadian news publishers for their content, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday, but the Facebook parent stood by its decision to block news sharing rather than pay. The government on Friday published final regulations for the Online News Act before enforcement starts Dec. 19. The law requires technology companies with 20 million unique monthly users and annual revenues of C$1 billion ($748 million) or more to compensate Canadian news outlets for publishing links to their pages.
