    It's such a difficult thing to balance for the general audience. I'm concerned that the TTK increase may frustrate many players by having to hit an enemy 6+ times and believe it will make many of the weaker guns non-viable on official servers. Thankfully the community server settings allow hosts to adjust damage multipliers for players that prefer very low TTK.

    A few months back I posted a review about my experience with BattleBit in the weekly What Are You Playing thread. Since then my hope that the fabled update would materialize had all but faded away, and just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!

    TL;DR: A large overhaul update for the game was announced to release in April 2024, the update didn't happen and the developers went mostly radio-silent until today.

    A series of unfortunate events to put it lightly. They can't get a break from the bad luck, no pun intended.

    This month is crazy for endurance racing fans. I've stayed up for a full race only once but that was the first time I went to the N24, things got a bit hazy after being up for 30 odd hours.

    Funny you should ask, I went back to explore further and was able to get over the demo area wall. I'm definitely a lot higher than I should be... part of me wants to keep going but I also don't want to spoil too much of the game for myself.

    Baby Steps was first on the list for me. I've been looking forward to this game for some time and certainly enjoyed the two hours spent hiking this new trail by Bennett Foddy and Co. The controls worked well for me (both m/kb and DS5 controller) and I was able to become quite proficient at walking rather quickly. The climb only ended up taking about 20 minutes to reach the demo checkpoint, but it seemed like I had chosen the best route and didn't have any large setbacks. The rest of my time was spent exploring the world and trying to climb very difficult objects that aren't part of the main path. Overall it feels like a simplified 3D evolution of QWOP but going up a mountain. Lastly I was not expecting the addition of jiggle physics, butt they do provide maximum immersion while tumbling down the slopes.

    It's very well done with the most obvious tells I could spot at a quick glance being around the 48 second mark where the blue monster has hairs clipping in/out of the eyes multiple times.

    I'm very interested in a Muppet Punch Out but would like to see unedited footage of a round or two first. Trailers like this with roughly 5 seconds of gameplay interspersed throughout two minutes of in-engine cutscenes do little more than mildly annoy me these days.
