In terms of highly-regarded team board games, Spirit Island takes the cake. Its usual price might also take your breath away, but not this week. It’s currently enjoying a deity-sized discount to tie in with this week’s Prime Day sale. (Or the painfully clunky “Prime Big Deal Days,” I should say.)Indeed, you can get Spirit Island at half price right now if you act fast – it’s $44.99 at Amazon instead of $90, all in honor of Prime Day. Seeing as the god game (where you’re trying to boot colonizers off your island) is so well-rated on community forums such as BoardGameGeek, that’s an offer I think should be on your radar. Especially because it’s one of those board games that rarely sees a reduction. While this is one of the many savings available in October’s Prime Day board game deals, it’s the one that stood out to me the most. I’ve been looking for an excuse to get Spirit Island for ages, and this may be my chance.Spirit Island | $89.99 $44.99 at Amazon

Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered was finally unveiled at PlayStation’s State of Play after months of rumors and internet grumbles about how we don’t need to re-release games that still look brand spanking new, but one developer has explained exactly what’s changed in the upcoming remaster.Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered’s announcement trailer promised that the 2017 robo-dinosaur romp would be brought up to the same visual quality as its more recent sequel, Horizon: Forbidden West, with over ten hours of new motion capture performance added to scenes where the camera really zooms right up into character’s faces. Plus, improved textures and proper DualSense support.

Otherwise, the trailer kind of struggled to properly emphasize how dramatic the Remastered changes might be because, well, Horizon: Zero Dawn was already a lush video game at release and its free PS5 update only solidified that further. …
Ranking the best Assassin’s Creed games is no small feat. After all, we’ve seen entries of all shapes and sizes across the course of the series’ history, from sprawling RPGs to tightly-focused stealth action entries – and a handful of spin-offs for good measure. The very first Assassin’s Creed game back in 2007 saw players taking their first leap of faith as Altair, and most recently, the latest entry took us to the setting of 6th centry Baghdad for Valhalla villain Basim’s origin story. In short, Ubisoft’s stealthy series has covered a lot of historical ground. With more upcoming Assassin’s Creed games on the way, its evolution looks set to continue.While there are also plenty of other upcoming Ubisoft games in the pipeline, it really is an exciting time for AC fans right now. We sadly won’t be seeing Assassin’s Creed Shadows (formerly known as Assassin’s Creed Codename Red) among the new games for 2024 following its recent delay, but what’s a few more months of waiting patiently…
Truth be told, when it comes to Warhammer 40,000 on the tabletop, I’m utterly repulsed by the putrid Death Guard legion. And yet, when I get put on the Heretic Astartes team in Space Marine 2’s PVP mode, Eternal War, it’s impossible to resist playing the rotted Bulwark class because there is something so comically disgusting about this shield-wielding sicko.I love his deranged dialogue, but it helps a lot that the Bulwark is also an excellent class with its sturdy shield and armor-repairing banner that blares intense drum beats. However, it’s not disgustingly overpowered either. I can do just as well using almost any other class in PVP – largely because each one is so simple that they’re amazingly easy to pick up, and all feel quite balanced. It makes Space Marine 2’s Eternal War mode a comparably simple take on PVP by today’s standards and, despite the Nurgle-adoring Bulwarks stinking up the place, it’s a surprising breath of fresh…
