Control Resonant is going to be an RPG—that much we knew, with PCG’s very own Robin Valentine being actively surprised by just how much of a Diablo-like it was when he saw it back in March. But did you know the Control series was always meant to be an RPG? Me either. Per creative director…
AI doesn’t have the best rep. Being the thing responsible for the memory crisis is certainly not great, but concerns over copyright, the environment, and human creativity only make things worse. That’s why it’s a little bit satisfying to watch a crowd of university graduates respond negatively when they’re told it is the future. As…

Hypnotic waves of colorful bullets fill the screen as you weave through the chaos, locked into an adrenaline-pumped flow state. But beneath that audiovisual and technical excellence, there are narrative reasons to explore the hostile alien world of…
A dream of a Golden Week. Famitsu‘s weekly physical hardware and software charts are in, and it’s a bumper one as we’re covering two weeks worth of sales thanks to Golden Week (via Gematsu). Starting with the games, as you can probably tell from the headline, number one hasn’t changed at all: Tomodachi Life: Living…
Finding an Acidic Raion Pouch is one of your first goals in Subnautica 2, since you’ll need it to make the basic battery required for a scanner. And the scanner is arguably your most important tool, since it’s used to unlock more blueprints, like the Wakemaker and Sonic Resonator. Luckily, you don’t actually have to…
