Arle drops in. Since its arrival on the Switch and Switch 2 last year, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has continued to update the game with all sorts of DLC characters. This included the announcement of three more free characters not long ago, and now that Red and Captain Majima have been added to the game, Arle…
As someone who is slowly burning out on The Sims 4 and bounced off the uncanny sameness of Inzoi’s world, Paralives was my last hope for a new direction in life sims. No pressure to the small indie team at Paralives Studio, but I was feeling very “this hits, or I’m over the genre for…
Experience the game’s early stages. Months after Resident Evil Requiem‘s arrival on the Switch, Capcom has now announced a demo for the latest entry in the long-running survival horror series. Once you’ve downloaded it from the Switch 2 eShop, you’ll be able jump into the latest story starring Leon S. Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft. The…
No matter how much fun I’m having with Paralives, I’m not going to stand here and act like it isn’t buggy as all getout in Live Mode. There are glitched menus, failing interactions, and wacky texture glitches, which are all the sorts of things life sim players pretty much knew to expect from an early…
In the opening moments of Outward 2, I receive what sounds like a simple quest: to find a flower with medicinal properties in the wilds to the west of the city, and deliver it to a doctor. But I’m no dummy. (Note: I will soon prove myself to be a dummy.) I’ve played the original…
Earlier this year, Remedy Entertainment hired a new CEO, Jean-Charles Gaudechon, a former EA executive and sports betting guy who talked about things like the need to “scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value.” I don’t care for that sort of Mr. Business lingo, really, but it’s not beyond the pale to suggest…
IO Interactive is giving Agent 47 a short rest, and all eyes are now on Mr. Bond as the Hitman studio launches 007 First Light less than 24 hours from now. PC Gamer doesn’t have a review ready in time for publication today, so I can’t reference my colleague’s impressions on a final build just…
IO Interactive’s long-awaited Hitman-with-hair game 007 First Light is out today, and as an astute observer of videogames you will have noticed that we don’t have a review up just yet. Why might that be? Who can say. What we can say is that it’s coming: PC Gamer’s resident Double-O agent Joshua Wolens is hard…
Sim racing may finally have broken its glass ceiling; or rather, the plasterboard ceiling of the basements that used to house every car nerd’s Logitech wheel-and-pedals setup. If the rest of the family once found the hobby slightly embarrassing, those days appear to be ending. The proof: thousands of car enthusiasts, motorsports fanatics, and sim…
After last week’s unhappy but not wholly unexpected news that Bungie is ending ongoing development for Destiny 2, players past and present have been mourning the ill-fated loot shooter by sharing their favorite bits of lore, comparing favorite guns, and posting highlights of their most impressive feats of Destiny prowess. But as cool as those…
