We all have our blind spots, and mine is 2D platforming—which made diving into Silksong particularly painful for me last month. In the games I was raised on, movement either happened in three dimensions or while watching from a birds-eye view.

Fletcher is the Ventrue clan’s Primogen in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, and one of three vampires with an assignment that’ll have you scouring Seattle for collectables. After you meet him at the Makom Bar early in the story, talk to him again to hear his gripes about supernatural graffiti and receive a rather…
Frogwares announced The Sinking City 2 in 2024 with a bizarre teaser billing an overt shift to survival horror and a 2025 release target. Today, however, the studio said it needs more time, and has thus pushed the game’s release into 2026. The reason for the delay is twofold: First and foremost, Frogwares is a…

There was a time when the flashing lights of arcade cabinets ruled shopping malls and bowling alleys. Coins clinked, 8-bit soundtracks looped endlessly, and every “Game Over” pushed us to try again. That spirit of excitement hasn’t vanished — it just moved online. Today’s slot developers are reviving pixel art, synth music, and fast-paced gameplay…
Battlefield Studios has followed through on its plan to discourage XP farming servers in Battlefield 6. As of this morning, many servers advertising themselves as “XP farms” or “all bots” have had their XP privileges taken away—you can still play on them, but you’ll only earn a pittance of precious experience. Some noticed the XP…
Since its launch in 2023, Starfield has cemented a reputation as Bethesda’s okayest game. While Skyrim has been honored with what felt like 800 re-releases and Fallout’s enjoying its time in the TV adaptation spotlight, Starfield hasn’t managed to foster the same level of fondness—even with Bethesda leaving sneaky little teasers in its spacefaring RPG’s…
