Darktide sure is a dark game. That’s both because it’s set in the dreariest of dreary sci-fi settings, the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and because missions mostly take place in shadowy, industrial environments familiar to anyone well-versed in the tabletop game’s lore or numerous videogame adaptations. If it’s a bit too shadowy and claustrophobic for you,…

The Simpsons is in a rare class of TV shows, and I’m not just talking about its absurd number of seasons (they’re up to 37 now). It’s one of precious few TV series to get a good videogame adaptation; there are a few games that have become good shows at this point, but rarely do…

For the last couple years, I’ve been desperately craving a good open-city game, the kind that arrived with such regularity in the Xbox 360 era that we foolishly took them for granted. Yes, I know that Grand Theft Auto 6 is due to launch later this year. But I’m after something more arcadey and knockabout,…

Arc Raiders has proven to be a big hit and showed that the extraction shooter had legs for a more casual crowd, but like The Finals before it, it’s drawn negative attention for its use of AI voices. In a new interview, Embark CEO and Nexon executive chairman Patrick Söderlund told GamesIndustry.biz that the studio…

Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice.

It can be tricky to pull off a sequel, especially when you’re talking about a sequel to one of the most celebrated deckbuilding roguelikes around. Slay the Spire 2 might be the result of a coin flip, but it sure seems to be resonating—a Steam community blog post from developer Mega Crit has served up…

Do you remember Far Cry Primal? Ubisoft’s prehistoric spinoff was pitched as an intriguing departure from the formula, in which players would leave their jeeps and helicopters behind to embrace life at the dawn of the Mesolithic period. They would tread lightly between the Carpathian mountains, taking down saber-toothed cats as a club-wielding tribesman with…

Not everyone wants a black box desktop. Yes, a bit of RGB lighting certainly perks up the samey cuboid silhouette of a gaming rig, but what about those of us who want something with just a bit more personality? Something—dare I say it—a wee bit Extra? How about a 3D printed cathedral kit that magnetically…
