🕵️ Thick As Thieves, Warren Spector's stealth action, lands on PC (Steam) on May 20 for $4.99. The launch build is a short "intro campaign": 16 missions across two replayable maps, six unlockable gear items and roughly 4+ hours of content. No Russian localization, but it's cheap.

Set in an alternate 1900s Kilkarn, it plays like Thief: guards, security systems and even a ghost constable who walks through walls; gadgets range from smoke bombs to a pocket‑fairy that flips switches. Shows multiple thieves (Spider, Chameleon, the latter is locked), 2‑player co‑op, three difficulty levels, loot for gear/upgrades/cosmetics. Megabit/OtherSide say the game will evolve with community feedback; trailer is out.

👀 ALERT, an age rating has appeared in Taiwan for Nintendo Switch 2, and it's tied to what many consider the best JRPG of the PS4 era.

That rating is a strong hint: an updated edition of the classic, remaster or port, could be headed to Switch 2. There's no official announcement yet, but the likelihood of a Switch 2 release just spiked

Nine Sols is a vivid dao‑punk 2D metroidvania with hub conversations and parry‑focused combat (StopGame: "Amazing"). Wuchang is a Ming‑era China soulslike, explore interconnected zones, loot weapons (including an ancient firearm) and absorb enemy skills; our verdict, "Commendable".

👀 The promised "expose" in MindsEye from Build a Rocket Boy turned out to be the Blacklisted mission, a 30‑minute stealth run in Hitman style: disguises, silent kills and low‑key assassination gameplay. The story is full of media‑war nods: a "ritual network" pointing at Ritual Network, a target clearly channeling blogger Cyberboi (legal spat with BARB), and the NYC, Edinburgh, Budapest chain hinting at HQ links to Rockstar Games. So it's a cheeky studio clapback, not a public takedown. WILD

⚡️Insider was right, Cache is BACK in Counter-Strike 2, the classic map with the Chernobyl NPP on the skyline.

The map got a visual facelift but kept the original layout and point logic, so de_cache veterans will adapt FAST and new players won't need long to learn it. Launch modes: Casual, Competitive, Deathmatch and Retakes; developers may tweak the mode list later.
