TINY TINA’S WONDERLANDS
Acronym fans will be looking forward to
this PC TTRPG FPS based on DLC (it’s a
spin-off from one of Borderlands 2’s
expnsions, Assault on Dragon Keep). In a
first for the series, you create your own
character, picking from classes including
the ‘Stabbomancer’.

STEELRISING
Eighteenth century France. Louis XVI is
ruthlessly crushing the revolution with his
army of steampunk robots (may not be
historically accurate). It’s up to you to
stop him, playing as an even more
advanced automaton powered by the
superior force of clockwork.

T


ake an orc on the wild
side, as Lou Reed didn’t
sing, in the next
instalment of gaming’s
most violent sport. Somehow,
everybody’s still taking a god named
Nuffle seriously, and so Blood Bowl
continues. The latest turn-based,
ultraviolent take on American football
will be soothingly familiar to fans – but
with some new content thrown in.
A more fully featured solo
campaign, greater customisation,
four new races, systems based on the
latest version of the board game’s
rules, new skills, and a new
competitive mode should make for a
freshly gruesome experience.

BLOOD BOWL 3


supoer powers, and a musical
adventure through literal Hell, weren’t
exactly grounded. This reboot will be
reining things in (a bit) and rebooting the
story, in the new fictional city of Santo
Ileso. The biggest setting in the series so

far, you – as ever, playing a fully
customisable character dubbed only
‘the Boss’ – will work with your crew of
trendy hipster criminals, Neenah, Kevin,
and Eli, to dominate it. But with three
established gangs already in charge of
the streets, this takeover will be easier
said than done.
You’ll get a wingsuit, allowing you to
leap from the top of tall buildings
without fear of a messy landing (hey, I
said they were reining it in a bit). One
way perhaps to transport yourself
between the game’s Criminal Ventures,
wholesome businesses such as drug
dealing and carjacking that can
strengthen your gang.
Although the release date was
knocked back six months, what’s been
shown so far is promising. Driving is
always a big part of these types of
games, and the new car combat could
turn out to be a genius addition. Cops
on your tail? Just hurl your car into them
with the new sideswipe attack, or climb
onto the roof for a better shot, until their
cars are trashed. Peaceful getaways are
for losers, right?
