Larian dropped a big bomb at The Game Awards earlier this month with the surprise reveal of Divinity, its “biggest game ever,” which is quite a promise given that the studio’s previous game, Baldur’s Gate 3, was huge. For some (definitely not talking about myself here, just, you know, some people) the announcement was especially…
One of my favourite things about PCs is that “old” is relative, really. Generations don’t exist in any meaningful capacity. Steam and GOG sell everything from shiny new blockbusters to ancient relics, meaning the same hardware I use to power realistic puddle physics can be easily used to resurrect childhood favourites and discover painfully pink…

If you’ve helped the Bard find his lost guitar, then it’s time to move on and get the Arcane Pickaxe, the best one you can get in The Forge…for now, at least. The lava-filled caves of the Forgotten Kingdom become quite a challenge without equipment upgrades, but the Roblox RPG has the perfect solution for…
WWE 2K24 is about to get the Gunther treatment, which is to say that 2K Games is going to mercilessly choke it out: As noted by Delisted Games, the Steam page for the rasslin’ game that was released less than two years ago—on March 8, 2024—says it will be removed from sale on February 1,…
One of 2025’s grimmer themes seems to be a perennial one for the games industry: mass layoffs. One of the very worst examples came in July, when Microsoft laid off around 9,000 people in total, alongside shuttering several studios and in-development projects, perhaps most notably the Perfect Dark reboot being co-developed by The Initiative and…
