Tiny indie, massive moves: VHOLUME and CICADAMATA redefine traversal

Two affordable indie titles released together, VHOLUME and CICADAMATA, challenge players to optimize movement across multiple levels with per‑stage leaderboards. VHOLUME offers a contemplative, brutalist parkour experience focused on speed and precision, while CICADAMATA delivers a fast‑paced cyberpunk traversal with unique threats and score‑based goals. Both prize route optimization, feature optional multi‑tier scoring, and are built to be easy to pick up but hard to master, making them compelling tiny experiences in a crowded release season.

Big Walk Gets Skipped: Speedrunners Fly and Clip Their Way to the Ending

Speedrunners are finishing House House's Big Walk with little or no walking by using glitches to bypass most of the game, including a fly-over technique in the Unrestricted run (8:37) and a clip-out-of-bounds method in the Flightless run (10:33). Runners are also exploring solo and two-player glitchless routes, with interest in how fast a traditional, non-glitched playthrough could be.

Halo Campaign Evolved promises replayability but drops iconic Halo features

Halo: Campaign Evolved aims for high replayability with 42 skulls and a Remix mode that randomizes skulls each run, but a Halo Waypoint Q&A and coverage note missing classic features like Photo Mode, Theater Mode, campaign scoring/leaderboards, and post-launch content, plus no in-game cutscene personalization. The game is pitched as a one-and-done title, prompting debate over whether the new replay mechanics compensate for the missing community and competitive features.

Activision Cracks Down on Black Ops 6 Cheaters Amidst Rising Complaints

The top-ranked player in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, known as Hanser, has been banned for cheating, highlighting ongoing issues with hackers in the game. Despite the removal of over 19,000 cheaters from the leaderboards, players are frustrated with the time it took to address Hanser's cheating, which had been evident since June 2024.

Elon Musk's Surprising Top 20 Rank in Diablo IV Sparks Curiosity

Elon Musk recently claimed to be among the top 20 players of Diablo 4, based on a leaderboard from helltides.com, which is not officially affiliated with the game's developer, Activision Blizzard. The leaderboard is based on player-submitted runs of a specific dungeon, The Pit, and includes only 881 entries. While Musk's performance is impressive, the claim of being a top 20 player globally is questionable given the limited scope of the leaderboard. This incident highlights a trend among billionaires making unverifiable claims about their gaming skills.
