One of the things I still like about Destiny 2 seasons is the way that balance updates switch up the meta. For Episode: Heresy, which kicked off last week, Linear Fusion Rifles are again the DPS top dogs. Of those, none has had a bigger glow up than The Queenbreaker. First introduced in Destiny 1…
PC Gamer’s Morgan Park treated us to a story last week about the downsides of a life of crime in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2—specifically, a very conspicuous brand that did not improve his standing with the local folk. He was also warned that if he continued behaving like a jerk, he could end up being…
First reported by Ars Technica, the “big cheese” of online search appears to have really curdled things, and in the heart of America’s dairyland, no less.

Over the weekend we got yet more details about Inzoi’s life sim features, this time…
A new update for Civilization 7 aims to address “some player feedback” from the advanced access release of the game, and promises “larger, more substantive updates” on the way in the future. Civilization 7 doesn’t fully launch until February 11, but it’s been available since February 6 for players who ponied up for the Founders…

Hot on the heels of the North American equivalent, Nintendo of Europe has opened the doors on the ‘Play On‘ Switch eShop sale, bringing discounts to thousands of titles until 23rd February. To help you separate the hot from the slop, we have assembled the following list of…
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a recent interview with IGN that PC has become a “much more” important part of the gaming ecosphere than it was in the past—one that generates a significant portion of sales for multiplatform games.

In a recent Bloomberg interview with Balatro creator LocalThunk, the notably private, anonymous developer opened up a little bit about the roguelike card game’s origins, including how he first realized he was on to something special with what had started as just another hobby project. LocalThunk worked in IT before making Balatro, and was apparently…
