With Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3 landing earlier this month, I’ve saddled myself with the accursed duty of completing another Honour Mode playthrough. Given that Patch 8 gives me the constituent parts for one of D&D 5e’s oldest powergamer builds, the Sorcadin, I reckoned I’d give it a go. The Sorcadin, for the uninitiated,…
Semiwork has announced that REPO will never be free-to-play, a promise meant to avoid ever featuring microtransactions within the game. As it stands, everything you need to play, even including personalisable flourishes like customising the color of your robot, is standard-issue or unlockable with in-game currency. In a recent Q&A uploaded to YouTube, semiwork explained…
I’m fairly certain I’ve been alive long enough to see singleplayer games definitely, 100%, for sure die at least three times, roughly on par with the number of times I’ve seen industry panjandrums declare PC gaming dead, too. These days, it’s because C-suites are convinced splashy live-service games stuffed to the gills with microtransactions are…
Ah, birthdays. Love them or hate them, there’s no escaping the unwavering gaze of Father Time. Except in the world of computing, where most tech only sees a handful of birthdays before heading out to pasture. There are one or two exceptions to this, though, and this year sees the 25th birthday of USB 2.0—the…
Good idea, slick. If you happened to have missed out on a Switch 2 pre-order, then chances are you’re feeling pretty glum at the moment. We get it. Over in Japan, prospective owners had to enter a lottery system in order to be granted the opportunity to place their pre-orders. We know that legendary developer…
I could tell Mycopunk and I were gonna be good friends when its developers started trolling each other in the hub area. While one dev streaming for a room of press over Discord showed off the upgrade system, another bounced around the spaceship interior firing stray rockets at our demoist. A third dev started grinding…
In semiwork’s recent Q&A, the question of whether or not mimics would ever come to REPO was answered, and you’ll be pleased to know that it was a very firm “maybe.” But since this isn’t really a confirmation, nor is it a solid no, no details on how they’d work or what exactly this would…
Reports of broken hinges appear online. When Miyoo announced its GBA SP-style ‘Flip’ handheld a while back, it caused plenty of interest online—until the device actually arrived in the hands of customers, at least. The most pressing problem related to the Flip’s hinge mechanism, leading the company to retool the device to create the Flip…

Camera pans down to capture the back of Chris Redfield as he’s addressing his Hound Wolf Squad; there’s a new threat on the horizon, an evil threat that’s emerged from the BSAA using cloned humanoid bioweapons and exacerbated by some unpaid intern accidentally leaving its cage open. But Chris’ elite task force won’t be enough…
