Action RPGs are complex and players are simple: They want power any way they can get it, even if it completely trivializes the entire game.

Guy Beahm, the streamer better known as Dr Disrespect, has joined the right-wing streaming platform Rumble, not just as a streamer but also as lead of Rumble Gaming—not esports talent agency of the same name, which is unrelated, but the platform’s gaming-focused livestream category. “As part of an agreement that includes equity with milestones as…
Last week I wrote about a particular bug in Stalker 2 and how similar it was to a bug I encountered in Stalker: Call of Pripyat way back in 2010. I wasn’t mad about it: it gave me a warm fuzzy “some things never change” feeling you might have for a quirky old car whose…
My experience playing Avowed when it launches in February will be very different from yours. Maybe that sounds obvious—it’s an Obsidian RPG, after all, with quest and dialogue choices even in the first couple hours that seem likely to echo throughout the journey. That’s to be expected. But for the first time in one of…
A naive part of me expected Sniper Elite: Resistance to deviate from the Sniper Elite formula, if only a touch. I thought maybe we’d be shooting something other than nazis, perhaps during a point in history that’s not World War 2. No: Sniper Elite Resistance is still about shooting nazis during WW2. Not only that,…
Humanoid Origins, the studio launched in 2021 by former BioWare general manager Casey Hudson, is closing. Hudson announced the closure in a message posted to LinkedIn, saying that “despite efforts to shield the studio from broader challenges in the industry, an unexpected shortfall of funding left us unable to sustain operations.” Hudson announced Humanoid Studios,…
Hitman developer IO Interactive has announced that it has stopped working with MMA fighter Conor McGregor, who was added to the game as an Elusive Target in June, following a civil trial ruling that found him liable for assault against a woman who accused him of raping her in 2018. All content featuring his character…
The League of Legends animated series Arcane recently concluded its second and final season, and it looks like Riot Games and animation studio Fortiche Production has knocked it out of the park. The most expensive animated series ever produced has a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, ended things with a bang, and has left…
Murder on the Point-and-Click Express. It’s a story you’ve probably heard before: there’s a detective, a rich, old heiress with an amended will, and an assembled group of people all hoping to benefit from it. And then, as these stories usually do, it ends in murder. On a train! But don’t be fooled by the…
