If you wish Satisfactory were an FPS, try new open world game StarRupture, out now in early access

As the Bob Dylan song goes, how many lush alien planets must a Man presumptuously land on and turn into poorly optimised Toyota plants before he finally decides he’s sick of being an extractivist piece of shit? Dylan was being rhetorical, but I studied at the school of Homer Simpson, and want you to give me an actual figure. I’m going to say: four and a half. If you’ve yet to hit your personal quota, well, here’s StarRupture out now in early access. Read more

Aside from introducing feline astronauts, the game runs on a new engine that can support a fancier and more consistent physics simulation. It looks like catnip for Kerbollards (TM), though I have some broad res

From Nvidia with love, 007: First Light’s PC requirements are here

007: First Light may not be the choppy, stuttering overextender of gratuitous explosi-pixels that its big action reveal led us to believe.
