As someone who loved Terry Pratchett’s Bromeliad Trilogy growing up, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the return to the Earth-like planet PNF-404 in Pikmin 4. Who knows what has befallen this planet in the Pikmin-verse, but it’s quirkily enjoyable to have our general detritus as collectable treasures for the diminutive Pikmin and Hocotatians. Pikmin 4‘s pretty great, by the way.
Dom’s had his rampage through the dino-infested world of Exoprimal slightly halted by a little time in Belgium, but has been enjoying it so far, and you can expect a review to stomp along soon.
Tuffcub has been playing The Last of Us Part I this week, potentially just to prove the Slackbot that always states that the’s been playing Destiny 2 wrong, potentially because it’s still a ruddy brilliant game. Who can say?
In addition to checking out the new Diablo 4 season (which he has Opinions about) Gamoc has delved back a good few years to play Starlink: Battle for Atlas, “which is like if Ubisoft made No Man’s Sky without the procedural generation part.” He’s enjoying it as a game, but not so much the weird Toys to Life aspect with a digital option. He also played Dysmantle, a “weird topdown zombie game in which you tear your environment apart for crafting resources.”
As per usual, Nick P has been playing Street Fighter 6, Dead by Daylight, Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4, but he also fired up Miidnight Suns again so he could race through the DLC, which is always going to be a good time given how fantastic that game is.
Jason has been smashing through Remnant 2, and become besotted with it. “The guns feel great, the boss design is up there with the best of all-time, the levels are beautiful, and it has a story worthy of the most off-the-wall JRPG. Just a stunning

Remnant II is doing very well for itself. Just yesterday, Gunfire Games and Gearbox Publishing announced that the Soulslike third-person shooter game already sold over a million units, with PC registering over double the first game's concurrent player peak on Steam.
The Diablo 4 team detailed what is coming in patch 1.1.1, which they also revealed will arrive on August 8th.
The trait system and progression blockers are being fixed.
The school holidays have begun which, predictably means that it’s been raining and drizzling up and down the country. Luckily, we have the technology to deal with the rain – we can sit inside playing video games. This week I’ve been playing loads of multiplayer, first in Exoprimal, and second in Remnant II. I’ve had a whole hell of a good time with them both, though one is clearly superior than the other. Can you guess which one it is? Besides these two, I’ve carried on playing more Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp because… well, it’s Advance Wars.
Remnant II has been referred to as a “looter-shooter” by some, but the amount of weapons and gear you’ll find out in the game’s world is actually pretty limited. That said, there are a few secrets to find, including the Chicago Typewriter. Essentially a version of the classic Tommy gun, this is not only an effective weapon, but likely a fun reference to other games that have had their own Chicago Typewriters, like the Resident Evil series. So, how do you find it? It’s not too tough if you know how. Follow these steps and you’ll be rubbing out dirty rats in no time…
There's only one right answer here.
The Diablo IV team will hold a special stream tomorrow to discuss patch 1.1.1, which is set to release soon. The team will go through what's in the patch, how it will potentially affect your gameplay and builds, in addition to having a Q&A for community questions.
This archetype is anything but simple to unlock.
