"You will not be using belts": Satisfactory's first expansion isn't the same game set underground - there's a whole new set of resource-moving toys to master

When you start factory automation game Satisfactory you awake in a drop pod plunging towards the surface of an alien world. In its first expansion you'll be heading a little deeper. Set entirely in an underground biome, Core Values sees you trying to build a thriving mining operation in a world that is limited in space and light, where even navigating its tunnels can become a challenge. Though, the team are keen to emphasise that Core Values isn't just Satisfactory with the lights turned off. I

While the cover's flown off The Witcher 3 Remastered today, September 29th, the wait for the RPGs elusive extra expansion goes on until next year. I've had rather mixed feelings on the decision to extend Gerry from the River's tale beyond the execellent ending offered by the Blood and Wine DLC thus far, something that CD Projekt Red's general tight-lippedness when it comes to dicussing story details hasn't helped.

I perished in the flesh pipes of Darktide's Depths of the Damned update, and you will too

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide continues to cling tightly, perhaps even aggressively, to my Steam installations, my occasionally waning interest repeatedly re-sparked by the addition of akimbo-autopistolling chem fiends or haughty toasterpeople. A live service sucker, it makes me.
