Co-op horror The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu just launched to mixed reviews. On Steam it has only ~100 reviews, 53% positive. Players praise the Lovecraftian atmosphere but criticize the slow gameplay, balance issues (especially solo), and optimization.

⚡️Assassin's Creed Black Flag cements its crown as the series' best, the Resynced version hit a record 8.8 Metacritic user score, crushing sales and player counts of all previous AC games. With modern graphics and intact pirate vibes, it's a LIFELINE for the publisher during a rough financial patch 🏴☠️

🔥 Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced gets a warm welcome from critics, 84 on Metacritic (PS5) and 87 on OpenCritic (94% recommend). The remake keeps everything that made the original great: a solid story, charismatic Kenway, naval combat, and pirate vibes. Graphics and weather are gorgeous, combat's revamped, and new content fleshes out secondary characters. Downsides: dumb enemy AI, dated missions, simplified parkour, and missing DLC (Freedom Cry not included). Launches July 9 on PC (Steam, EGS, Ubisoft Connect), PS5, and Xbox Series. With Russian text. Let's set sail tomorrow 🏴☠️

All 9 developers lost their jobs. Luna Abyss is out on PC, PS5 & Xbox, with Russian subtitles.
