FOV 90 (Image credit: Future) Welcome to FOV 90, an FPS column from staff writer Morgan Park. Every week, I’ll be covering a topic relevant to first-person shooter enjoyers, spanning everything from multiplayer and singleplayer to the old and the new. I can’t think of a better way to kick off an FPS column than…
“We fixed stuff!!”. Wayforward was able to revive a slice of history last month with the release of Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution. This Switch eShop release, originally planned for the GBA, has now received a small update across all platforms. It addresses a bug that caused Shantae to “freeze or disappear”, corrects some language-related issues,…
Pete Hines, the former vice president of communications and marketing at Bethesda, recently opined on what he described as “short-sighted thinking” driving subscription-based game services like Game Pass: “If you don’t figure out how to balance the needs of the service and the people running the service with the people who are providing the content—without…
Up front: Silksong is obviously a good videogame. I’ve played it for around 15 hours in the last four days, and all the while I’ve watched online communities grapple with it, most of whom seem to have progressed further than me. I’ve spent at least half as many hours reading about Silksong these past few…
In the second episode of Noclip‘s documentary series on MachineGames, some of its senior developers revealed a surprising tidbit left on the cutting room floor of Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. The devs considered giving us a gander at the tallywhacker of Adolf Hitler. Spoilers for New Colossus to follow. In one of the game’s…
Everything’s cool in Silksong until you’re stuck trying to escape The Slab with nothing but your bare bug fists. Getting out of bug prison is hard work. There are several guards and deceptively precise jumps standing between you and freedom. The real reward for completing The Slab is getting out with your stuff back, but…
In a post-Baldur’s Gate 3 world, it’s unclear what the future holds for Dungeons & Dragons videogames. Contributing least to that clarity is Hasbro itself, which in recent years has laid off the team that handled D&D licensing with Larian, canceled at least five D&D games that were in the works, and has generally bungled…
To free the town of Bellhart from its cursed webs, you’re going to have to defeat the spider spinstress hiding above it: the Widow. This challenging boss is also one of the most fun in Act 1 of Hollow Knight: Silksong, thanks to a quick runback from the nearest bench and a number of attacks…

I’m as capable at 2D platforming and combat as I am at actual jumping and feats of arms: There’s a lot of flailing involved and it’s unpleasant for anyone watching.
