Metro 2039 is "much darker" than its predecessors, but most importantly it's a statement of intent
We’ve been waiting for a new Metro game for a long, long time. Exodus was released back in 2019, seven years ago. Metro Awakening was a VR-exclusive, and while it reviewed relatively well, I don’t know anyone who’s played it. Metro 2039, then, has some big shoes to fill. Set in the heart of a post-armageddon Russia, it’s not a game that misses and hits the wall.

While surviving in a dirty and contaminated underground train system is still front and center for the experience, there are some big changes.The last game, Metro Exodus, saw regular hero Artyom looking for safe haven on the surface in an attempt to leave the tunnels behind. This time, Metro 2039 looks to be heading back underground and, for the the first time ever, the game won’t star it’s regular protagonist.While the…
Cyber Knights: Flashpoint's latest update lets you two-time a pair of warring factions or ignore them completely
Don’t you just love the smell of free stuff in the morning? That’s exactly what developer Trese Brothers is offering up with the latest update for Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. The new update for the RPG is more of a wholesale expansion, or a new era as the devs describe it, called Ward War. It’s all about territorial disputes, leaving you with the choice to pick a side, pick both sides, or just fob it off for something else entirely. Here’s some of the setdressing for the update: a decade prior to the events of the game, various wards…
