When I got back in town from vacation, it was a top priority for me to hit Elden Ring Nightreign’s latest rotating “Everdark” superboss, the Augur, aka. Maris, Fathom of Night. “Don’t spoil yourself on it, it’s amazing,” PCG contributor Tyler Colp warned me before we queued up, but with the added caveat that “people…
Microsoft Recall’s security woes have come back to the fore after a test caught the AI screenshotting tool capturing sensitive data (again). Ahead of its public beta release in April, Microsoft made a slew of security updates to Recall, including adding a filter that’s supposed to block Recall from recording passwords, credit card info, social…
If your next Peak run looks impossible, it just might be. On Saturday, dev Aggro Crab posted a screenshot of an impossible-to-reach campfire that spawned on top of an unclimbable tree. Peak is challenging, but it’s not supposed to be quite that challenging. Aggro Crab explained the glitch in a post on X (with a…
A Link to the Millennium. Two of my favourite games growing up were The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Secret of Mana. Lush green worlds, curious — and sometimes cute — enemies, and fluid action combat for the time; as someone who had largely only played turn-based RPGs for the first…
In a new video on his YouTube channel, RPG veteran Tim Cain outlined the challenges inherent to remastering Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, one of the true hardcore sicko legends of CRPGs, and a game that could really use a remaster. Vexingly, it sounds like the dark ritual to reanimate Arcanum is pretty much…
Puck around and find out. It’s not that often that a perfectly good and functional air hockey video game drops. In fact, considering that the grotty arcade staple translates so readily to the sphere, very few air hockey games release in general. One of life’s persisting mysteries, right there. However, fear not Switch 2-owning air…
One thing I’ve learned in journalism is that the stupidest questions can lead to the most fascinating answers, if only because nobody else would be such a colossal dumbass to consider asking them. This proved true recently as I sought an answer to an extremely silly question: How tall is Garrett, the protagonist of the…
If there’s one thing that bugs me about Genshin Impact, it’s the combat. Exploring its pretty open world is all fine and great until the moment you’re dumped into a boss fight and realize it’s a baby’s first action RPG where every move you make is tied to one annoying little stamina bar. Even though…
Dungeons & Dragons has been with us for over 50 years, and in that time it’s been through five editions (er, actually more like 8?), given rise to the wide and diverse hobby of tabletop roleplaying, and had an enormous impact on the world of videogames. And, despite a series of recent gaffes, it’s more…
olWhen the Atari ST series debuted in 1985 with the Atari 520ST, which was quickly followed by the Atari 1040ST, it represented a significant leap forward in home computing technology, particularly in graphics and sound capabilities. This 16-bit computer line would go on to become especially renowned in Europe’s music and desktop publishing scenes, thanks…
