Cairn revolutionizes bragging rights, lets you print a shirt showing your playthrough ascent from an in-game menu
Cairn is a climbing game about reaching the top of a ridiculous mountain. While some routes to the apex are more obvious than others, you have a fair bit of freedom to decide how to get up there. I took the path of least resistance, but maybe you’re braver, or more masochistic, and decided to…
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Switch 2 Update Adds “TressFX”
Try it out today. Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition got a surprise release on the Nintendo eShop last year, and since then, Aspyr has been releasing updates to improve the experience in all sorts of ways. In a new update this week, it has rolled out the TressFX update for the Switch 2 version of the…
Loot is too good in co-op RPG Fellowship, so its devs are trying to convince players why making it worse is better
I don’t envy the developers of early access co-op RPG Fellowship for having to convince its loyal players that the thing they liked was too good and needs to be made worse for the health of the game. Although many players have enjoyed running its MMO-like dungeons without all the busywork of an actual MMO,…
Now that Subnautica 2 is out, the most wishlisted game on Steam is… a game that’s been out for almost 2 years?
A weirdly enjoyable side effect of a massive game launch is that it shakes up the most-wishlisted games on Steam. Subnautica 2 has been perched (haha, fish pun) atop the most-wishlisted games on Steam for ages, probably since Hollow Knight: Silksong was released in September 2025. But as of last week, Subnautica 2 is out!…
Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core launch times and release date
Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core is the meaner, shootier cousin to the standard DRG experience. As they are wont to do, the space dwarves have dug too greedily and too deep: mining teams are going dark, forcing the company to call in their heavily armed, hyper-lethal problem solvers—the Reclaimers—to apply a more forceful form of…
Hasbro cancelled a D&D game from the Jedi: Fallen Order director
Hasbro has cancelled a Dungeons & Dragons videogame that was in early development at Giant Skull, the studio run by Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order director Stig Asmussen, also known for his work on the God of War series. Hasbro announced the partnership between D&D stewards Wizards of the Coast and Giant Skull just last…
Arc Raiders says our bad with those gun durability nerfs, reinforces a bunch of weapons by up to 54%
The first Arc Raiders patch since Embark shook up its update schedule has arrived. Major updates are only coming twice a year, but regular balancing changes continue unabated. That’s what we have in patch 1.29.0: Embark is targeting a handful of bugbears while also introducing a new anti-ARC grenade launcher. Perhaps the biggest change for…
Half-Life owes its existence to one of the game industry’s most formative figures—no, not Gabe Newell, the other guy
Gabe Newell is widely regarded as the big name (and the big brain) behind Valve, and thus Half-Life and all that has sprung forth from it. But Valve, Half-Life, and the gamers who love it owe something of an unspoken debt to another man, a foundational games industry titan himself, who despite having no despite…
Struggling Witcher spinoff brings acclaimed Destiny 2 narrative veteran onboard as new lead writer
