The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy expansion allows players to join dynasties and become nobles for the very first time.

The humble transport management sim is a venerable, fundamental part of PC gaming that’s been inspiring an obsession with logistics since the early ’90s. It can be complex, sometimes fiddly, but frequently rewarding work, linking up people, towns and businesses through roads and railways. But it can also come across as a wee bit dry—at…
Get a grip. Nintendo launched its dedicated GameCube NSO pad alongside the Switch 2 last year, undoubtedly providing the best experience for docked play.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s a shortage of things to worry about right now when it comes computing-adjacent hardware. Personally, I’m finding the AI boom, memory crisis, tariffs, over-priced GPUs and all that simply isn’t enough to be getting on with.
