It's become impossible to keep up with all these damn 'seasons'

Fall Guys is currently in the midst of its fourth season. That update, which sent the bloodthirsty jellybeans to a distant neon-soaked future, hit servers on March 22. Developer Mediatonic has been diligent about its release cycle, and a new swath of content gets deployed every quarter or so, which means that by the time we arrive at Fall Guys' first anniversary in August, we will be in the middle of season five. With just 11 months under its belt, Fall Guys has amassed a season count that rivals most network TV shows. If it keeps its current pace up, it'll be catching up to the Simpsons' season numbers around 2025...

Glory to mankind, Fall Guys is getting a Nier: Automata skin

Ask and you shall receive. Last year, Nier: Automata director Yoko Taro said he wanted to bring his rabble of sad androids to the world of Fall Guys while playing the party game on stream in celebration of Square Enix producer Yosuke Saito's birthday. Now, it's, uh, actually happening.

During Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest, we caught a glimpse of the new Fall Guys skin. You're getting the chance to dress up your wee jelly bean as 2B from Nier: Automata, and boy is it something. This skin is launching on June 18, so you only have a week to wait for it.

Yoko Taro initially mentioned his desire for the collaboration on stream, saying, "I think the machine lifeform costume would be really cute," as translated by Mediatonic's own Ed Fear. "Or an Emil head!" Since Fear was already in chat as it happened, we guess this has been in the works since then. Fear went on to add on Twitter that he "mentioned in that livestream chat" that he worked at Mediatonic and Yoko Taro saw it. "Now I have been asked to tell the team officially that the Nier team at Square Enix really wants to do it," he added. Yoko Taro was all too keen to show his support on Twitter, too.

This Nier: Automata skin for Fall Guys is making me extremely uncomfortable

The frontrunner for this year's "They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" moment appeared in a short trailer during Summer Game Fest today. Fall Guys is getting a new skin fashioned after Nier: Automata protagonist 2B, who wears a lacey maid outfit I can't say I ever expected, or wanted, to see on a Fall Guys bean...

The best indie games on PC in 2021

Deciding on the very best indie games on PC is a task that involves some painful exclusion. The great indie boom triggered by digital distribution a decade ago turned out to be more of a Big Bang, firing small-team development into a plethora of directions that now defy simple categorisation. The sheer volume is intimidating, so we have plenty to choose from when compiling our list of the best indie games. Perhaps too much.

But we should take stock, from time to time, to appreciate everything publisher-less development has given us. Some of the games listed below were built in a weekend by first-time coders, while others were crafted by former triple-A creators who've instilled their independent work with the same technical standards. They barely have anything in common but a healthy dose of idiosyncrasy and ideas that make Steam worth spelunking.

So what is our final shortlist of the finest indies around? It's got everything, from puzzle games to narrative wonders, through pixelart games and the most gorgeous, graphically detailed gems. You're going to want to play each and every one.
