Life Below sees you restoring a dying sea floor, yet it makes for a surprisingly cosy city builder filled with touches of vibrant life

For people who don't play city builders, it may be easy to look at them as something mechanical and bureaucratic. Grids of streets, well-ordered manufacturing production lines, and carefully tailored catchment areas to ensure residential zones will efficiently staff nearby businesses, don't scream the stuff of life. Though, play enough of them and you will often see there can be a good deal of living going on at street level. Zoom in close on Cities: Skylines and you can follow people as they travel to work, hover over your town in Anno 1800 and you watch the carts take goods from the harbours to factories to markets to the doors of your townspeople.

Life Below may not be about constructing a city exactly, but this underwatcher cosy city builder still captures that sense of bustling life.

Skyblivion's gorgeously revamped Ayleid ruins are all done and dusted, the folks behind the Oblivion Remake mod have announced

One of the bits of Oblivion remake mod Skyblivion I'm most keen to explore is all sorted and ready to go. The modders have announced that they've finished making and QA testing their revamped versions of The Elder Scrolls 4's Ayleid ruins, marking another key step forward in their journey, even if the mod's still without a final release date following its delay last year.

My memories of classic GTA have been gloriously smothered by this reasonably SFW giantess erotica game

My intolerable efforts to become Rock Paper Shotgun's new Erotica Uncle proceed apace with Step 'n Smush, a free WIP browser game in which you play some extremely large women sexily stepping all over bustling 2D cities. You've got 70 seconds to squash as many buildings as you can, gaining size for every pedestrian you amorously flatten. It could be a mod for the original Grand Theft Auto; given a larger ~~butt~~ budget, it should be a mod for GTA 6.

Most of Bungie's staff were reportedly unaware of the decision to end active development on Destiny 2 until it went public

Last week, Bungie made a half surprising, half the writing was on the wall decision to end active development on Destiny 2. The long running live service shooter's final update has been set for June, with responses to the news generally oscillating between genuine upset and baffled disappointment. Worse still, a report suggested that the studio is facing "significant" layoffs as a result of this choice. Except the choice didn't come last week, but earlier in the year, a choice that another report now claims that many at Bungie weren't privy to until it was made public.

Hop aboard Running Train, a lush Japanese train sim that's out in early access now

There is no abundance of train sims in this world, that's for sure. But I am a person that likes two cakes, so you won't find me complaining when a new one rocks up. Today, that new one is Running Train, a quite lush looking train sim that places a big emphasis on looking as realistic as possible, set in tourist's and gaming's current favourite destination, Japan.

The opening mission of 007 First Light leaked online, so IO have fought fire with fire by offering up the game's first 13 minutes

As is the case with most big name games that people are desperate to get their hands on, over the weekend the opening mission of 007 First Light leaked online due to someone seemingly acquiring a disc copy a touch early. That video has since been taken down, to no one's surprise, but IO Interactive clearly decided to fight fire with fire, as they've shared the first 13 minutes of said opening mission themselves. Spoilers ahead obviously for those who want to go in knowing nothing!

Your first look at Unreal Engine 6 comes courtesy of a much shinier looking Rocket League teaser

Epic Games have made no secret of the next release of Unreal Engine; they first shared some details about the follow-up back in 2024, namely that it's being built around the idea of "interoperable content" that can be switched between any game that uses the engine. Now, Unreal Engine 6 has been somewhat formally revealed through the lens of a "new era" of Rocket League during the game's Paris Majors semi-finals.
