The Void War demo may leave you conflicted
If demo-equipped Void War doesn’t actually cross the line between ‘affectionate homage’ and ‘cynical ripoff’, it gets awfully close to it at times.

Little Bird, big ask (finishing the Cleared Hot demo isn’t easy)
I’ll admit it. After an hour with the Cleared Hot demo I decamped to the Steam forum in search of fellow failures. Surely the place would be teeming with others who, like me, loved the trial’s physics, visuals, and writing, yet found Mission 4 disagreeably hard.
Where am I?
Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.
This and that
Early Access Dagger Directive’s first update doesn’t seem to have cured its corpse reanimation problem. Loading still seems to revive fallen foes now and again. The new build doesn’t like old savegames either, so it looks like I’m going to be replaying campaign missions 1 to 3 a little earlier than planned.

Besides a couple of strong OMSI 2 add-ons, omnibus enthusiasts have had little to get excited about this year. Assuming SimBus remains chimeric, Early Access The Bus stays in low gear, Euro Truck Simulator 2’s people porters aren’t imminent, and Astragon don’t spring any surprises in Q3 and 4, the highlight of 2025 for PC-owning PCV lovers could well turn out to be next week’s release of City Transport Simulator: Bus.
