I am really optimistic about Starfinder: Afterlight, an upcoming CRPG based on the Starfinder 2e TTRPG system. It’s got a lot of things going for it: sensible developers, a gorgeous artstyle, official support from Paizo, and voice direction by Neil Newbon of Baldur’s Gate 3 fame. Also, its Kickstarter has had the crap funded out…
Good news, everyone! Schedule 1‘s Halloween update is here. Just in time for…wait. Why are all those porch pumpkins looking a bit deflated? Why have all the TV networks pivoted to Christmas adverts? Why do I have a sudden urge to grow a moustache and write an entire novel in 30 days? Oh my God!…
The ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X have a few unique features that have made them stand out as interesting (if not the best value) gaming handhelds. The internals in the X make it the most powerful handheld gaming PC you can buy right now, but its FSE Xbox-style interface also adds a…
More Simon looks to be on the way! The Italian developer Smallthing Studios may have just released Simon the Sorcerer: Origins, but it doesn’t seem to be through with its resurrection of the classic Adventure Soft point-and-click adventure game series just yet. That’s because, as recently revealed in an interview via IGN Italy, it appears…

Good on you! Dragon Quest is a remarkable, enduring game series, and now its creator, Yuji Horii, has received the recognition he well and truly deserves from the Japanese government (thanks, VGC). In its Autumn decorations, the government has awarded Horii the Order of the Rising Sun 4th Class: Gold Rays with Rosette, one of…
Remember when the prevailing wisdom of consumer tech was ‘smaller is better’? And then it turned out there was such a thing as too small, as we kept losing our toasty-but-tiny-tech? Confronted with the bloat of today’s Windows install, I do wish certain software peddlers had committed to a similar philosophy of ‘less is more.’…
With objectives that give a clear, named location to head to, you wouldn’t think that the With a Trace quest in Arc Raiders would be so difficult; it’s not like What We Left Behind‘s more cryptic tasks. That said, the area is massive and all looks rather samey, oh, and it’s often filled with dangerous…
It’s a messy time over at Heart Machine, developer of the beloved Hyper Light Drifter and its ill-fated hack ‘n’ slash successor Hyper Light Breaker. The latter debuted to mixed Steam reviews and muted sales when it carved its way into early access back in January, resulting in layoffs at Heart Machine and work on…
Undertaking Eyes in the Sky is one of the more elaborate missions you’ll have to complete in Arc Raiders. During this quest, Shani asks you to take the LiDAR Scanners you previously recovered at the Spaceport and place three of them at the highest points in different regions, letting her spy on what Arc is…
