I’ve been waiting 20 years for a worthy sequel to my favourite life sim, but THQ Nordic has other ideas
I usually expect blank stares when I wax nostalgic about The Guild 2, a rough diamond that’s part management game, part life sim, part RPG. It’s the kind of game that does well in central Europe but not remotely as well elsewhere. Your classic eurojank romp: big on ambition, not so much on optimisation or…
One lone legend waiting for GTA 6 to launch has decided to make the game from scratch themselves: ‘The goal: beat the real GTA 6 to launch’
If you were waiting for GTA 6 to drop when it should have done on May 26 (well, on console at least), you were probably more than a little perturbed by its delay to *checks watch* no time soon, i.e. November. That’s to allow Rockstar to “finish the game with the level of polish you…
A new flip phone that blocks social media at a system level is coming out, and you’ll never guess which retro gaming company is making it
When I buy a new phone, it’s not going to be, say, the Ayaneo Pocket Play or one of those pricey RedMagic gaming smartphones with the ridiculous refresh rate. For the sake of both my wallet and my soul, I’m looking at a less capable bit of kit. Thankfully, an unexpected source is now offering…
Embark is finally cracking down on Arc Raiders’ cheaters and duplication antics: ‘Our commitment to anti-cheat initiatives remains a top priority’

Phanteks XT View Matrix case review
I know, I get it. I’ve waxed lyrical quite a lot recently about Phanteks’ current line of cases. It’s genuinely becoming mildly problematic from a tech journo standpoint. But I do think the company’s on to a bit of a winning streak with its latest line-up of big metal boxes that we put very expensive…

Mistfall Hunter’s demo might finally convince me, a souls sicko, to give extraction games a proper go—even if it’s more modern God of War than Nightreign
Mistfall Hunter is a promising, if curious little creature of a game—with a playable demo for Steam’s Next Fest available now, it seems to market itself as an extraction soulslike. Well, the Steam page says it’s a “dark fantasy extraction ARPG,” but it’s clearly trying to capture soulslike vibes. There’s a shrine maiden equivalent, combat…
Arc Raiders is finally testing a ban on free loadouts, and I’m here for it
Literally since launch, free loadouts have been a source of contention in Arc Raiders. They’re great if you just want to chill, shoot some things, and not have to worry about losing loot. But on the flip side, their prevalence undermines the loot economy and incentivises everyone to avoid risk. Why use your best gear…
