The bad news is that Path of Exile 2’s early access debut won’t be the full game, as initially hoped. The good news is, even limited to half of the main story and six of the planned 12 classes, this is shaping up to be one of 2024’s best action-RPGs. That’s saying a lot, given…
My ears perk up anytime a game developer says the word “hitstop.” It means I’m about to hear some secret sauce, or at least opinions, about how to make a game feel great—specifically how and when to add a short pause mid-combat to make a hit really pop. In early footage of Avowed it’s been…
Here’s everything included. Level-5 returned to the West in a big way earlier this year with the release of Megaton Musashi W: Wired. Eight months on, the mech battler is landing a beefy new patch, with the ‘Megarobo Batroseum’ update scheduled to come to Switch on 26th November. As detailed in the new trailer (above)…
Stalker 2 has released, the long-awaited sequel to a PC classic that our own Joshua Wolens found “is still Stalker, down to its bones.” The most pleasing element for fellow Zone-fanciers is that, after all this time, the game largely sticks to the design sensibilities of the originals, and as our review says “hasn’t sacrificed…
Hot on the heels of details of the supposed RTX 5070 Ti GPU come details of the next rung down in the rumoured Nvidia RTX 50 family of graphics cards. We give you the RTX 5070, the plain vanilla version and what could be a worryingly small step forward if this new “leak” is anything…

It was a stark contrast to most other games I was playing at the time, representing not some power fantasy about being a nigh-indestructible badass but instead a cold and indifferent world where I was fragile and weak….
Sometimes, certain questions keep you up at night. For me, it’s how much longer I have on this planet before something dreadful happens to me, because I’m a happy-go-lucky soul. For YouTuber Nate Scovill, however, the question burning a hole in his brain was much more straightforward: Which Lego hurts the most to step on?…
Larian released its modding tools for Baldur’s Gate 3 recently—and it’s a damn impressive integration that the developer, technically-speaking, wasn’t under any obligation to make. Granted it paid off, with head of publishing Michael Douse crediting mods for the game’s physics-defying player numbers throughout 2024. This integration also included mods for consoles (and Mac), which…

As spotted by GamesRadar, Ybarra weighed in on the hot news of the week—the report that Sony was sniffing around Kadokawa, which was later confirmed in a statement which said Kadokawa had received “an initial letter of intent to acquire the company’s shares.” In what I would argue is a rather bold claim, Ybarra tweeted:…
