I'd never even HEARD of "Mura" before. This Reddit post [External Link] is an excellent explainer though.

Creepy retro horror game Fear the Spotlight is out now

Wild that Proton now often plays Windows versions better than a native build. Also slightly depressing, tbh. SDL should have fixed that years ago...

Love the look of this, and I think it's right on the edge of what I can tolerate in terms of horror. And I agree I think the slight retro look works really well for this, evoking the nostalgia of playing the very Resident Evil for the first time.

Steam Deck Verified round-up, your late October 2024 highlights

Been playing a load of Starship Troopers: Extermination [External Link] - janky but awesome fun, with nice progression across multiple classes. But I can only play THAT because I finally finished the absolutely stunning Tactical Breach Wizards [External Link], a game that I suspect will live in my "Top 10 Games of All Time" list for many years to come.

Assassin's Creed Mirage arrives on Steam as Ubisoft return to Valve's store

I'd be willing to try Ubi games again if they ditched the launcher and Denuvo. They won't, but that's okay. Saves me some money.

Quoting: sebkoI can't find the Steam Store page. The link is directing me to the store homepage. Can you please add a link?
Sorry - it's already been de-listed. See this article.

Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming

Quoting: B4nerj3eValve: It's not fair to consumers that we put out a steamdeck every year....
Also Valve: Releases Steamdeck OLED a year after original...
Sure, but that's like a PS-slim edition. It's the same hardware with one aspect slightly improved. They're talking about generational (in chip terms) jumps in performance here.

Rogue Legacy 1 source code released

I find it a bit upsetting that some of the opening comments to this news are negative. It's like someone offering you a free apple pie and turning your nose up and saying you prefer pears. Can we not just celebrate the awesome work CellarDoor and Ethan Lee put into this with a bit of gratitude? That it might help future developers learn, not to mention the modding potential?

Humble Choice for October is stacked full of good stuff

Remnant 2 is absolutely superb, and this bundle is a steal for that one game alone. Dome Keeper is also excellent. Not sure about the rest, but they're just a brucie-bonus at this point, especially given how much Remnant 2 usually goes for!

Valve (Steam) begin a direct collaboration with Arch Linux

If we're being optimistic about that secure signing piece targeting better anti-cheat, I'd suggest that Valve are looking to out-perform Windows in that regard, and turn SteamOS into THE trusted way to prevent cheating on any given game. Make it as trusted as a console, or more so if possible.
