Welcome folks, and happy “2,074th Anniversary of the surrender of Vercingetorix to Julius Caesar” week!

Vercingetorix was the leader of the Gauls during a last-ditch resistance to Caesar’s invasion of Gaul. Caesar had him besieged in the town of Alesia, having built over 25 miles of fortifications around the town to keep the Gauls in and to defend against any relieving armies. After reinforcements failed to break through the extensive siegeworks, Vercingetorix surrendered to Caesar, effectively completing Rome’s conquest of Gaul. You may all celebrate by playing a game where you outbuild your opponents.

It’s a quiet week.

Overwatch 2 is out this week—well, the PvP is, with PvE coming at a later, unknown date. There will be a new Battle Pass system, new heroes, and existing heroes are getting tweaked. The maps have been revamped, and by all accounts, the tweaks are aimed at making Overwatch 2 a faster game than Overwatch. Also, they are shutting the original Overwatch servers down this week.

Alfred Hitchcock: Vertigo is a port of a 2021 game which, as you may guess, is inspired by the film Vertigo, but with its own original story and characters. It’s more of an interactive story than a gamey-game and is sitting at about 61% on Metacritic from original release.

NieR: Automata - The End of YoRHa Edition is a new version for the Switch that includes all the DLC from previous editions and some new costumes. Reviews say it runs pretty smoothly, so here’s another chance to play this acclaimed game.

FALLING OUT is a roguelite platformer about a couple who are on a vacation gone awry, exploring differently-themed, randomly-generated dungeons. Eventually, each level starts to flood, so you have to get in and out before that happens. There’s a co-op and a versus mode, plus weapons to craft.

Dragon Prana is a port of a JRPG from mobile platforms. It looks like a lengthy, party-based DS game.

L.O.L. Surprise! B.Bs Born to Travel is about collecting L.O.L. Surprise dolls and making them do chores to earn money to buy more dolls and costumes.

I’ll give the GOTW to Overwatch 2 as the biggest release this week. I don’t play Overwatch, but looking in from the outside, there doesn’t seem to be much buzz for Overwatch 2. Will fans make the jump? Keep an eye out for a new Overwatch 2 thread in the forums to set up matches and talk details.

...there doesn’t seem to be much buzz for Overwatch 2. Will fans make the jump? Keep an eye out for a new Overwatch 2 thread in the forums to set up matches and talk details.

Overwatch 2 is outright replacing Overwatch 1, so we'll see what fans decide to do.

I would say to pay attention to Chaos Head on Switch. It has been soft banned on Steam and it hasn’t officially come out in English.

?! They have all of the other Science Adventure games available on there, nevermind all the grossly inappropriate stuff that's on there. Not sure exactly what Chaos;Head has in it that would trigger a ban while everything else is out there, but ok. Guess the Switch version is where to get the start of that whole series.
