Should I heed the call of the laaads and return to Brendan Greene's Murder Island, it'll hopefully have enough new players for my old and confused fingers to not get totally murdered. I do find Plunkbat's firm place in the top ten comforting. I might have to nab these and meet the ragamuffins myself. I was surprised to read Alice Bee's A Plague Tale: Innocence review and hear that it's got a good heart and even manages to achieve the impossible: making Alices feel any warmth for virtuakids. I've long admired the rat hordes of A Plague Tale, rivers of rodents flowing across fields and through buildings. Given that the game was cracked on launch day, helped by Bethesda cocking up DRM, it was pointless to keep Denuvo in. Oh! The devs removed Denuvo, the much-grumbled-about DRM-strengthening tech. I've been on holiday for a few days, swimming off beaches the length of East Lothian, so let's briefly catch up on Rage 2. This is the version which, for an extra £20, gets you the upcoming first expansion, a BFG-9000, instant unlocks of weird 'cheats' like a Danny Dyer voice pack, and other bits. I might not even bother swapping from that rifle." Most of all, I want to do more super-powered fighting. I still want to explore, even though I wish I was exploring a world that had been less generically destroyed. I've found every Ark, now, but I still plan on gambolling between side activities. "I've got my weirdo NPCs, my Ark hunting, my Whoopinkoffs and Dimbledicks. "The parts I like far outweigh the parts I don't," Matt said in our Rage 2 review. I'll wait for a sale myself, given how many open-world games I already have on the go, but it's evidently doing pretty well. The result is kinda sloppy but has some good guns, good superpowers, and good NPC names. Id Software drafted Just Cause crew Avalanche Studios to collaborate on drive-o-murders in the sequel to Id's oddest game. It's been half-price for a few days so here come a new load of men or astromen blasting off. While the spaceship explore 'em up was loudly rejected (oh so loudly!) at launch by folks who found it different to what they expected, No Man's Sky has kept updates rolling and since been embraced by people who see what it is and want some of that. The developers have laid out vague plans for five big updates as they work towards a full launch in spring 2020. Young Matt had a fair bit of praise but also some complaints when he had a go but hey, it's still in early access for another year or so. The multiplayer roguelikelike shooter has bobbed in the charts for a few months now, passing one million sales in its first. It's 1996 all over again as a side-scrolling game takes a bold step into the third dimension, and it works here. Join me for a stroll down the hit parade to inspect last week's top-selling games on Steam. Not even an employee anymore and he's still making work for me. Our former John (RPS in peace) has vanished in odd circumstances, last heard claiming he'll be flying through the sky in a big metal snake, so I'm taking over this week.
