Sloclap’s hotly anticipated football ’em up has finally hit the pitch, and it’s proving to be as nuanced as it is popular. You can queue up for a match only minutes after booting it up for the first time, but after playing a lot of Rematch myself, I highly recommend first getting a sense for…
We’re still in the midst of an unexpected renaissance for Star Wars Battlefront 2. Last month, we wrote about the surprising upsurge of Battlefront 2 player counts on Steam, which was really only surprising for as long as it took to remember how good Battlefront 2 is. Over the last four weeks, those player counts…
The Blood of Dawnwalker, the game that dares ask “what if Geralt was Blade?”, dropped an all-new 20 minute gameplay trailer over the weekend that adds an exciting new layer to the inquiry: What if Geralt was Blade, and they were also Corvo Attano? That aspect of gameplay becomes apparent midway through the video, when…
The big Phasmophobia Chronicle update launches tomorrow, June 24, and brings a long list of bug fixes and tool reworks with it. As part of the tool shake-up, developer Kinetic Games also overhauled the journal’s media section for capturing evidence. It’s great if you’re tired of being limited to a photo camera. But, if you’re…
Just a few days after a Dune: Awakening AMA in which developers promised some changes to the endgame, here’s the first: Creative director Joel Bylos said today that some areas of the deep desert will be flagged as “partial warfare (PvE) areas,” enabling players to explore what it has to offer without fear of getting…
The first thing you notice going from the first Moonlighter to the new sequel is the shift from 2D pixelart to full 3D. But it doesn’t take long before you realise that’s actually one of the least significant changes. What makes this sequel feel fantastically fresh is a whole laundry list of clever adjustments to…
Some of the best upgrades I’ve found in Death Stranding 2—which have made my life as a porter significantly easier—came from its first region of Mexico. The area acts a little like a tutorial where you can learn (or remember) how the game works. The problem is it’s easy to rush off to follow the…
Everyone knows that Kojima games are full of confusing jargon, but Death Stranding 2 almost immediately throws an interesting dilemma your way: your birthday. It might sound simple on paper, but—as the prompt cryptically notes—a birthday “can determine a person’s experience of DOOMS”. Below, I’ll explain what your birthday actually does, what DOOMS means, and…
If there were to ever be a mascot for the videogame industry weirdos (endearing), it’d most certainly be Nier creator Yoko Taro. He’s built a brand around being a little eccentric, almost always seen sporting his Emil mask and making games that somehow perfectly straddle being a little horny, devastating, and thought-provoking all at once….
Holy heck this looks amazing!!! pic.twitter.com/gIGss0BI70June 20, 2025 In April of last year, Meta announced it would be working alongside Microsoft to make an Xbox-themed Meta Quest. As we noted at the time, we said the collaboration “probably means it’s black with a bit of green.” Well, you can imagine how shocked the PC Gamer…
