Avatar: The Last Airbender has a magic system they repeatedly claim isn’t magic (though it clearly is), which is themed around the four elements. You might think that maps easily onto Magic: The Gathering—red is fire, blue is water, white is air, green is earth, you’ve got black left over so throw it on any…
Liam Hemsworth has not made much of a splash in his turn as Geralt in the fourth season of The Witcher TV series on Netflix. In the words of SEO editor Lauren Morten, “he’s basically invisible,” while weekend editor Jody Macgregor said The Witcher has “become an ensemble show where he’s basically supporting cast.” Not…
It’s hard to be surprised at how much of a slam dunk Fellowship has been for RPG players who love running dungeons in groups. World of Warcraft is in a pre-expansion lull at the moment and everyone is hungry for co-op games. Fellowship couldn’t have arrived at a better time. And developer Chief Rebel has…
Deciding to get healthier in 2025 came with no shortage of sacrifices I was prepared to make, but I did not anticipate one of them would be Call of Duty double XP. It’s been a good decade and change since I was last super into Call of Duty, but much like a churchgoer who only…
It’s a videogame story that’s all too common these days. “Despite a strong number of wishlists and a strong community of early playtesters,” the roguelite action RPG Starlight Re:Volver failed to catch fire after its release in August, and developer Pahto Labs has laid off half its team and says the game will receive no…
Spore might be one of the highest-profile disappointments in all of PC gaming, but it’s also a game I have a huge soft spot for. It was the first game I ever begged my parents to preorder for me (for my birthday at the ripe age of 8), and I adored it endlessly back when…
Even if Path of Exile 2 has no chance of having a full release this year, you can’t say it’s not making meaningful progress toward that goal. In a major update next month, the action RPG will finally get a class players have been begging for since it launched in early access: druids. Path of…
The welcome release of Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection has brought a whole host of klassic fighting games to PC—and also brought many people face-to-face with the series’ unvarnished arcade AI opponents for the first time in years. They’re tough, but they’re the bad kind of tough. They openly cheat, regularly bending or breaking rules to…
Okay, is the vampire in *this* coffin? Vampire Survivors is the gift that keeps on giving. We’ve had a countless amount of free updates, expansive paid DLCs, and so much content that it’s so easy to lose hundreds of hours to. So, how’s about a completely new game? Yep, Poncle is spreading its wings and…
The fate of The Sims 4 has been a big question mark for, oh, over a year now. There was the announcement that The Sims 5 isn’t happening, the still-unexplained The Sims Hub collective platform unifying different games, the recent EA buyout news that has content creators stepping back from their official partnerships, and now…
