Less than a month ago, the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 modding community was turning everyone in the game into perfectly round balls of flesh. But fashions change quickly in the medieval world. Fat is out and thin is in, courtesy of this mod that transforms every KCD 2 character into an actual skeleton. “Here’s a…
The last couple of months have been packed with massive games. Monster Hunter Wilds, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Split Fiction, and Fragpunk have all proved enormously popular with players, and let’s not forget the leftfield indie smash that is REPO. But which of these games has the fattest stacks this week—which of…
Even if you haven’t yet played Nate Purkeypile’s most recent game, “heavy metal horror” hunting game The Axis Unseen, you’ve probably played at least one of his games at some point. Purkeypile, founder of Just Purkey Games, worked on BloodRayne 2, Aeon Flux, and Metroid Prime 3, then spent a full 14 years at Bethesda…
One running joke that has always alarmed my friends is how nice I think a Fallout apocalypse would be. Not on ground zero, mind, I’m talking about getting to sleep for 100 years (which I could really use right about now) in a cryovat, to then wake up and get to explore a new untamed…
What’s the ETA on those ETBs? Yesterday, the Pokémon Company launched its latest Trading Card Game expansion, Destined Rivals, via its online store. As was predicted, the set proved to be massively popular, and many of those hoping to pick up one of the sought-after Elite Trainer Boxes were hit with site crashes and multiple…
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is doing very well. Incredibly well. You wouldn’t believe how well it’s doing. But despite it all, it’s not doing quite as well as AC Valhalla did back in November 2020—Shadows is the second-biggest launch in the series’ long history, not the first. But per an internal Ubisoft email seen by IGN,…
Usually, when I see the term ‘gaming desk’, I think whatever marketer has got their hands on the keyboard has maybe been a bit overzealous, yet the Thunder X2 Lab-X makes a decent argument for that in its many neat additions. The Lab-X has a mesh side plate (with crucial optional fan brackets) for cooling,…
While Tarn Adams, creator of Dwarf Fortress, is technically a millionaire—he’s never quite minced his words like one, especially about the nonsense that goes on in the gaming industry. Last year at GDC, he came out swinging against a brutal year of industry layoffs. This year, while speaking to PC Gamer’s own Lincoln Carpenter, he…
Scooby who? Late last month, Warner Bros. announced that it was shutting down three studios including Player First, the team behind the soon-to-be-defunct Smash Bros-style brawler MultiVersus. Before things went south, however, it seems that the publisher was looking to another Nintendo franchise for inspiration, this time with WB San Diego behind the wheel (thanks,…
“You know that Prince Of Persia / Wolfenstein mashup you’ve been craving?”. Adam Saltsman, the co-founder of indie publisher Finji and the developer of the one-button endless runner Canabalt has just released a new PICO-8 game, and it will no doubt look a little familiar to you if you’re a fan of Jordan Mechner’s Prince…
