Cozy life-sim games where you get to retreat to a rustic village for a relaxing, self-sufficient life on a farmstead are hardly in short supply--and, with so many stellar entries in this genre out there, a game following this formula needs a really good hook to stand out. Village in the Shade , a new release from NIS America on Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC, certainly looks the part of a cheerful, cozy farming game. But, as the phrase goes, looks can be deceiving--and, in this case, that deception runs deep. You can tell something is off right from the tutorial, which sees you chasing after an escaped chicken, only to discover something rather distressing.

Не прошлой неделе стало известно о закрытии BioWare и отмене следующей части Mass Effect.

Reddit will switch to a 'logged-in only experience' The exact details of the change are still being determined (and yep, this is about AI). Reddit will become a "logged-in only experience," and the company plans to move fast, beginning testing soon in regions outside the US before flipping the switch globally. The popular community website—home to a great many official and unofficial gaming message boards—lost one million search engine referrals per week on average in October, CEO Steve Huffman said on an investor call today. In the Q&A portion of the call, Huffman said that Reddit has nothing to announce about those deals, but that it is in "active discussions" and that its leadership will "do what makes sense and is in the best interest for Reddit strategically and economically." Although it reported 53% year-over-year revenue growth in its 2026 third-quarter results, as well as 16% growth in weekly active users, Reddit's share price dropped today due to a lower-than-expected forecast for the next quarter.

Developer Maddy Thorson, the mind behind Celeste and TowerFall, confirmed on Bluesky that her team had removed the games from Xbox.

It's easy to dislike Call of Duty. Aside from the annual cycle of development, marketing, and controversy that has defined the series identity for the past 22 years, the series has become an integral part of how video games prop up the military-industrial complex . Whilst some of the stories - especially 2025's Black Ops 7 - have deteriorated into the realms of science-fiction absurdity, many of the narratives you'll find in the Modern Warfare splinter of the series are more grounded in reality. When you're playing as semi-fictional UK and US troopers, taking part in illegal operations in foreign territory, wantonly executing people over differences in ideology, Call of Duty can feel gross: paper-thin propaganda designed to glorify war and reinforce lines between 'them' and 'us'.
