The problem with Harold Halibut is that it’s a startlingly vivid artistic accomplishment, but in the traditional sense of the term, it’s not much of a video game. It’d be more accurate to call it an interactive stop-motion cartoon.
Just looking at Harold Halibut is fascinating. Its developer/publisher, the German indie studio Slow Bros, has been working on Harold for a decade. Every in-game asset was hand-made, then scanned and animated via Unity. I lost a lot of time walking around in-game to check out all the little details, like the background vistas out the window, the main character’s floppy walking animation, or the aged, boxy 20th-century tech that’s in use everywhere. You can see the developers’ effort and imagination in every frame of every location.
As a game, Harold Halibut is a dialogue-heavy adventure in the spirit of something like Syberia, where all it demands of the player is to explore and pay attention. (Some people will try to tell you that Harold is a walking simulator. Those people need to learn more words.) Your only goal in any given scene is to figure out how to reach the next step of its narrative, which usually means you have to find the one interactive object in the current room. This is rarely difficult.
All the while, Harold Halibut actively resists any attempt you might make to speed things up. You can’t skip scenes, frequently can’t skip dialogue, and can’t move at a pace above a determined stroll. Harold wants you to take it in at its own pace. Unfortunately, that pace is best described as “glacial.”
Harold Halibut is a well-meaning but slightly dim maintenance worker aboard the Fedora, a colony ship that launched from Earth in the worst days of the Cold War. Now, 250 years later, it’s stranded at the bottom of an alien ocean.
Harold’s daily routine consists of menial labor, repair work, and petty feuds with the corporate bureaucracy that runs the ship. Then, through sheer dumb luck, Harold ends up at the center of a series of events that will change life on the Fedora forever.
The opening hours of Harold Halibut are its roughest part, as its actual story takes a while to show up. The game begins with a long look at life aboard the Fedora through Harold’s eyes, in all its mundane detail. Its dramatic opening moment involves Harold being dragged off to what’s essentially traffic court.
That does give the Fedora a distinct sense of place. It’s a derelict spaceship in an environment it wasn’t built for, full of eccentrics who’ve never known anything else. Their society’s decisions are all guided by a decaying corporate administration that’s trying to play its incompetence off as an endearing quirk. Despite all that, everyone is just trying to live, and be happy, as best they can.
Harold, at the center of this, is an easy protagonist to like. He’s a decent guy who spends too much time in his own head, but he’s surrounded by a quiet, ordinary madness. Harold’s establishing character moment is being charged with a crime for what amounts to no reason, and the thing that consistently gets him in the most trouble is his inability to finish a sentence. There’s a certain Walter Mitty quality to Harold that I found equal parts appealing and frustrating.
In a roundabout way, that leads me to my primary issue with Harold Halibut. It’s a well-written, engaging story with beautiful hand-made art that sets it apart from almost every other video game on the market, and certainly from every other game released in 2024 to date. On visuals alone, it’s an incredible production, and its script is never less than decent.
The problem is that all of Harold Halibut’s strengths are in its story and presentation, and none are in its interactivity. It’s paced like a slow season of TV and gives you as the player about as much to do. You can occasionally pick up a side mission, find hidden scenes between Harold and some eccentric weirdo on the Fedora, or go play arcade games (both of which are unpleasantly reminiscent of Superman 64), but that’s about it.
Other adventure games have handled this by allowing your decisions to change the story’s outcome (Until Dawn, The Quarry), emphasizing environmental storytelling so you have to figure out much of what’s happening on your own (Gone Home, Tacoma) or splitting up the chapters with increasingly abstract puzzles (Lifeless Moon,The Tartarus Key), but little of that’s available in Harold Halibut. For most of its runtime, it’s essentially a passive experience.
What’s annoying is that I’ve been on the other side of a lot of arguments about this over the last decade or so. Some forum warriors will argue at great and terrible length that games like Harold Halibut shouldn’t be considered games at all. These people, to be clear, are idiots (why would you gatekeep a concept?), but every once in a while I play something that works as a point in their favor. That’s where I’m at right now.
That being said, Harold Halibut is absolutely worth checking out, primarily for its best-in-class visual presentation. The ideal way to play it might be in a group, where you trade off controller duty while everyone else chills out and watches its story unfold. It’s a calm, cozy all-ages sci-fi story, with satire gentle enough to surprise you when it bites. The only sticking point is that in many of the ways that matter, Harold Halibut isn’t really something you play.

Server Bookmarks
One downside of the favorites server list is that if the host address or port changes, there can be a long delay before Steam internally updates the listing. This update adds a new "BookmarkHost" property to the server's Config.json file to help work around this issue (among others).
If the server has a GSLT and BookmarkHost is set to a DNS record (e.g., "myunturnedserver.example.com"), a Bookmark button will appear on the server info screen and in-game pause menu. The bookmark saves a few details about the server, such as the name, description, and thumbnail. It can then be quickly rejoined from the Bookmarks menu without refreshing the server list.
For more advanced usage, the BookmarkHost property can be set to a web API URL starting with https://. In this case, the client will initiate a GET request. The response can include an address or DNS name, along with an optional query port override. This allows the address and port to change without affecting bookmarks. Servers using Fake IPs can then keep the randomly assigned address and port in sync with a custom backend. Pandahut has already implemented this on their servers and has graciously offered to share their implementation. We will update this post with a link to it when it's ready.
Those are the patch notes up through June 14 for Unturned.
REDMOND, Wash. — Video game studios are dying left and right and Microsoft is the Grim Reaper, wielding closure announcements and layoffs like the two blades of a jagged scythe. We went undercover at Microsoft to find out how they came to these decisions but things worked out a little differently.
Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog Games; these names should be etched on tombstones and erected in a field alongside Lionhead Studios, Ensemble Studios, Press Play, and all the other fallen studios that couldn’t survive being owned by Microsoft. With multiple studio closures, 1900 employees laid off, and more of both looming on the horizon, many gamers and game studio employees have been left in fear of the future, and rightfully so.
You don’t need Batman Arkham detective vision to see that something is clearly amiss at Microsoft. However, as journalists, it is our sworn duty to uncover the real dirt beneath the turf of lies, no matter how dirty our hands get. So we decided to get to the bottom of it. With our sacred objective in our minds and Baja Blast in our bellies, we hashed out a plan to infiltrate Microsoft posing as employees to get a firsthand look at their nefarious business practices.
We couldn’t expect to just waltz into Microsoft and have them hand us their secrets on a silver platter. As gaming journalists, we would have been accosted by executives giving us the same corpo-speak tidbits we already got from Geoff Keighley. True investigative work would have been impossible. So we took inspiration from the classic film The Master of Disguise, which has played in a loop in the break room at our office ever since the DVD got stuck in the player.
Getting into the Microsoft office was surprisingly easy. The security must have also been laid off. There were plenty of parking spaces to choose from. Someone just let us in and then we took some empty cubicles, of which there was an abundance of, and acted like we worked there.
Our plan was cut short, however. Just as soon as we sat down in our cubicles there was a cacophony of groans and sobbing echoing throughout the building. All the employees began making their way out of the office. Another mass email had been sent announcing more layoffs, and our entire division was on the chopping block. A heavy chain and padlock were placed on the door behind us.
Unfortunately, all we gained from our investigation was grief and empty pockets. In that way, we can relate to the laid-off Microsoft employees, who have been cast out into the cold, dark world all for the sake of Microsoft’s bottom line. The gaming industry is full of talented and passionate people. It is our misfortune as premium gaming journalists to witness these talented and passionate people ground under the wheels of big business.
Also, if anyone is in the market for an eyepatch and some dollar store fake mustaches, I am looking to sell mine. I spent way more on my disguise than I should and I’m worried about rent.
Duluth, Minn. — Mac gamer Juno Perry, one of the few Apple loyalist gamers in the world is looking forward to the game that will be released this year, whatever it may be.
Perry discussed her hype in a recent IRL Twitch stream from her local Apple Store.
“Whatever it’s going to be, I’ll pre-order it. Ha. I don’t even care. It’s like, give me that game, you know,” laughed Perry, nervously. “Like, I got to have it. The puzzles in Myst aren’t as exciting after the fifth time around.”
Perry only plays games on Mac, giving her a ton of free time to argue with strangers online while waiting for the next release. She has so far refused attempts to get her to game on other systems.
“She only plays on Mac so most of the time she’s just arguing with people online about games she hasn’t played,” said Perry’s boyfriend Gary Flint. “I offered to get her a Nintendo but she says consoles are not real gaming. I even offered to build her a PC but that ended up being the worst fight we ever had. I still have the scar from the LED Live Laugh Game sign she threw at me.”
Perry spent the latter half of her stream reading through a list of upcoming games hoping to find the one coming to Mac. This segment consisted of an hour and a half of Perry half-heartedly reading game titles before finally perking up with excitement at a potential game.
“Whoa! Hold the phone!” Perry announced, upon discovery. “Bungie announced a reboot of Marathon for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC…. and that’s it, huh? Well, hey, I see Control might be coming out this year. That will be cool!”
At press time, Perry has not yet realized that her computer is used for working with Google Workspace, and doesn’t reach the specs required by the upcoming game.

TORONTO — Local gamer Frank Meadows has found himself in quite a predicament as despite his vow to finish the game he’s currently playing, temptation is having its way with him as he’s spotted a pretty new game looking at him from across the room.
Meadows took to social media to discuss his current internal struggle.
“I’m so conflicted here because I’m in the middle of this big open-world game that I’m really loving,” Meadows said to his dozens of followers. “I have a real problem with not finishing games before moving on to another game but I vowed that I would finish this since I’m enjoying it so much. But my Baldur’s Gate 3 physical edition got delivered the other day and it’s so beautiful and it’s just looking at me, begging to be played and I don’t know if I’m strong enough to resist giving it what it wants.”
Meadows, who has been single since high school, doesn’t often have something so beautiful staring at him in temptation, which is why this is so difficult for him.
“This just never happens to me. Even all the other times I’ve abandoned games to play something else it was because I felt like it. The problem here is that I don’t want to abandon this game, I really love it but every time I glance across the room Baldur’s Gate 3 is there looking at me and it’s so beautiful. It’s probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen and definitely the most beautiful thing that’s ever wanted me to touch it. I just don’t know what to do.”
Meadows’ struggle ended up going slightly viral and renowned gaming relationship counselor Bradley MacDougall weighed in with professional advice.
“One of the main reasons that gamers and their games even come to me is due to issues stemming from the desire to move on to a different game before the relationship has reached its natural conclusion. I’ll tell Mr. Meadows what I tell all my patients. While the primal desire to play something else can be tempting, not finishing your current game relationship will only cause a repressed backlog that will eventually lead to having so many games to play that your brain just shuts down and you don’t play anything.”
Amid his crisis, Meadows contacted his parents for advice on what to do. His mother took to Facebook to address the situation.
“I just want my boy to get help. He’s about to turn 30 and has never been on a date,” His mother Dina said through tears in a heartbreaking Facebook Live.
At press time, Meadows has begun his playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3 but the unopened copy of Metal Gear Solid 5 that he bought three Black Fridays ago is calling to him.
We just pushed a small hotfix for the Super Update. Nothing too major, mainly bug fixes and a few balance adjustments for Superbot.

Roboquest – Arsenal Update Patch-Notes April 15
Here are the patch-notes for the 1.2 version of Roboquest: the Arsenal Update.
Crystal Powder can be acquired at the end of levels containing a Corrupted Crystal you've already claimed
Crystal Powder is used to increase a weapon's rarity from Epic to Fantastic in the new friendly robot Willy Wonder (view in the Friendly Robots section later)
New keyword: Summon
Summoning is the action of deploying allies like drones, decoy, sentry turrets and everything else that is tagged as Summon in its description
Several ingame elements such as Perks and Items grants bonus effects to your Summons
Reworked several parts of the code to make sure your summons apply your additional effect like "marking burns"
Classes
Several perks have been reworked to now include the Summon keyword
Weapons
General
New weapons:
Missile Battery - We had a minigun but we didn't have a ROCKET minigun.
Rapier - En garde!
Sling Gun - And the stone goes boom!
Minion Box - Raise my minions!
Mini Cricket - We liked that gun from a famous movie with aliens. Such boomer times.
Gauss Rifle - Pro Quake player, anyone?
Bee Cannon - A mysterious vacuum that shoots bees.
Boomerang - Whoosh in and whoosh out.
Shuriken - For all the robot-ninja mains out there (you know who I'm talking about).
The damage of summons deployed by alt-fires has been increased by 15% per weapon level to 20% per weapon level

Fragmentation reworked, now works as Buckshot but sends a volley of explosive projectiles
Developers' Note: Fragmentation always felt awkward and a bit misplaced due to its graphical implementation and its projectile speed. Replacing it with something that propels several projectiles similar to its origin weapon will probably feel better overall and works best for us in terms of balancing and implementation. Beware Kaboom Buckshot!
New affixes:
Echo - Additional Ricochet and Ricochet damage
Interceptor - Bonus damage against flying enemies
Big-Game - Bonus damage against elites, goliaths and bosses
Uproot - Bonus damage against turrets

Developers' Note: While it is fun to have some kind of "bouncer" to mark the beginning of the second act, this one was taking its job a tad too seriously.
Reworked many safe areas to be able to include Willy Wonder
Reduced the number of Security Pods in Haven City by approximately 33.3%
Added more random chunks (variations) to Haven-City and the Moon
Quality of Life
Added several quality of life settings:
Show Items - To show or hide the icon list of all the items you've equipped
Show Gadgets - Same than above for Gadget icon list
Show Perks - Same than above for Perk icon list
Show Compass - To show or hide the compass locator indicating enemy presence around you
Show Damage Counter - Displays a counter below the minimap displaying how many damage you've dealt this run
Reverse X Axis - For those of you weird unique enough to play with reverted X axis
Hybrid Control - Playing with both a gamepad and mouse/keyboard should now work properly
You can now use Colon, Comma, Exclamation and Period in the keybinds settings
Interface
Entirely reworked the localization for German, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese
Added Dutch and Farsi to the game's languages
Added Starbreeze to the game's bumpers
Developers' Note: Don't worry, nothing has changed internally ;)
Optimization
Optimized UI rendering
Optimized loading of VFXs and SFXs
Bug Fixes
Speculative Fix: Players failing to play with each other should now be able to, regardless of their platforms.
Developers' Note: We're sorry for the time it takes us to fix those issues. We're trying our best and we hope this round of fixes will do the trick. If not, we'll be on the hunt again.
You will no longer be stuck in Haven City after unlocking the door while your brobot disconnects
Fixed an issue where Rover enemies wouldn't disappear for the client player
Vsync no longer reactivates itself automatically upon game restart
Fixed an issue displaying the remaining stack of alt-fire despite having the setting to show them disabled
Status effects UI will no longer remain permanently on screen after activating screenshot mode while being under their effects
Aim Assist now works properly even with very high or low field of view values
The Gotta Catch Them All achievement will unlock the next time you open the Museum if you have everything unlocked but the game previously failed to detect it
Those are the patch notes up through June 13 for Roboquest.
