The big Phasmophobia Chronicle update launches tomorrow, June 24, and brings a long list of bug fixes and tool reworks with it. As part of the tool shake-up, developer Kinetic Games also overhauled the journal’s media section for capturing evidence. It’s great if you’re tired of being limited to a photo camera. But, if you’re…
Just a few days after a Dune: Awakening AMA in which developers promised some changes to the endgame, here’s the first: Creative director Joel Bylos said today that some areas of the deep desert will be flagged as “partial warfare (PvE) areas,” enabling players to explore what it has to offer without fear of getting…
The first thing you notice going from the first Moonlighter to the new sequel is the shift from 2D pixelart to full 3D.

A 45 day consultation process has begun, which under UK law happens when an employer is planning over 100 redundancies within a 90 day period (Build a Rocket Boy is estimated to have 300 employees…
“This game is broken”. Whilst most of us gamers will make do with cheering loudly to ourselves when we (accidentally) come first in an online race in Mario Kart World, or maybe have an extra spoon of delicious Gamer Gruel™ as a reward for getting gold in Mirror Mode, some others prefer to…well, they prefer…
