When Swen Vincke took the stage at 2024’s Game Awards to call out the entire games industry for being more committed to “market share” and “arbitrary sales targets” than making good games for their own sake, he noted that the secret formula which led to Larian’s meteoric rise had nothing to do with audience expectations…
Wait, there’s Switch 2 Direct happening? After landing a last-minute delay last year, Argonaut Games has today announced that the Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster will leap onto Switch on 2nd April… now why does that date ring a bell? Yep, when we’ve all finished revelling in the news of the Switch 2 Direct,…

CS: Legacy will arrive in Steam Early Access sometime in 2025. A “from-the-ground-up” fan remake of Counter-Strike 1.6 has just been announced with an impressive new trailer. And better yet, it is expected to arrive in Early Access on Steam sometime later this year (thanks PC Gamer!) CS: Legacy is described as “a fully standalone…
EA doesn’t have the best reputation.

I should have been saying that back in November, but the game has been postponed twice (first to January, then to March), with adjustments made on how…
You probably won’t be surprised to learn that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a long game. Playing it for review these past few weeks, I clocked nearly 50 hours by primarily sticking to the critical path and stopping to do side stuff here and there.

Before we even knew what it was called, Assassin’s Creed Shadows had a target on its back. Culture warriors have been frothing over the casting of historical Black samurai Yasuke as one of the protagonists ever since the first screenshot leaked, prompting several ill-advised attempts by Ubisoft to defang the haters concerned about “historical accuracy.”…
Naoe and Yasuke take equal footing in Assassin’s Creed Shadows as dual protagonists that you can swap between whenever you want. The shinobi and the samurai require different armour pieces though, so this makes getting the best armour that much more time-consuming. Similar to its predecessors, Shadows also has a full-on loot system, including legendary…
