A trailer has just landed in your inbox, blasting your laptop apart in a sputter of copper and fossilised breadcrumbs. You unscrunch it with smouldering fingers, and read the words: the first public playtest for Tyr is underway, running till 2nd August. Ah, I see: Tyr is a new multiplayer tank shooter from Stoke Games, a team of former League of Legends, Valorant, StarCraft 2, and Destiny 2 developers. The game's tanks have unique, colour-coded armour profiles, with thicker plates on certain parts of the vehicle, and their guns also have different penetration values. But I quite like the balance of nerdiness and simplicity Stoke Games are going for with Tyr.
