Welcome to another week of not paying retail for the games that matter. As per always, I’ve scoured the storefronts for nothing but the best in budget-minded gaming, plus the perfect preorder entry points. Wish I had time to say more, but Super Earth isn’t going to super save itself. See you planetside in Helldivers 2, where I may or may not accidentally (but also democratically) delete you with an Orbital Airburst Strike.

In retro news, I’m lighting a big 9 on a cake for the original Helldivers. Rather different from its current day darling of a sequel, this top-down twin-stick shooter was still white-knuckle enough to explain the early onset arthritis some of you now have. Core memory for me: hearing some NPC Helldivers on my bridge remark upon the ‘peacefulness’ of our skull logo in a very “Are we the baddies?” exchange. Comedy gold.

Monster Hunter Rise

Rise mixes classic MH ideas with some of World’s best improvements and a whole bunch of clever new mechanics of its own. The introduction of Wirebugs and the mobility they bring to every fight is so great. 8/10.
