Is that a grey hair we spot? Pokémon‘s fifth generation kicked off 15 years ago today with the release of Pokémon Black & White in Japan. On 18th September 2010, the world first stepped foot into Unova, a brand new Pokémon region based on North America, specifically New York City’s metropolitan area, with a mix…
I remember when Dark Souls was the new hotness, it didn’t take long for the “actually, this game isn’t hard if you’re just cool and smart about it” crowd to crop up. I see a lot less of that with Silksong, which PC Gamer reviewer Tyler Colp called the “videogame equivalent of sticking your hand…
Freshly baked. Hello Kitty Island Adventure‘s long-awaited DLC, Wheatflour Wonderland, is out on Switch today in North America for $14.99. Europe and Australia will have to wait until next week, 23rd September (as per the game’s Discord, via HelloKittyIsland subreddit) , to get their hands on the expansion, which brings a newer Sanrio character to…
Finding and crafting the Sawblade Launcher in Dying Light: The Beast is a real turning point in Techland’s new zombie-stomping parkour horror. It’s by far the best ranged weapon in the game, dishing out instant death for lesser infected and human enemies by slicing right through them, and taking huge bites out of the health…
Gearbox has announced a Borderlands 4 patch out now that takes particular aim at the game’s rather chaotic PC performance issues. This follows a weekend patch that didn’t seem to do anything to improve things, players jury-rigging various solutions to stop the stuttering, and Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford wading into any and all arguments he…
Z-A? What’s *that*? I rarely expect big Pokémon news during Nintendo Directs. Maybe an NSO drop (pffft), perhaps some details on the already-announced game coming out. I certainly did not anticipate my dream of becoming a Ditto who can transform into a human being to come true during the latest showcase. Okay, that’s obviously not…

Arriving on Switch next month. We’ve been keeping an eye on Absolum‘s roguelike / beat ’em up fusion since we first went hands-on with it earlier this year. Ahead of its launch on 9th October, publisher and co-developer Dotemu has today revealed a new gameplay trailer, and it looks every bit as stylish as we…
BioWare fans can never agree on which era of the studio was its peak—classic Baldur’s Gate 2, the original Mass Effect, or (correctly) Dragon Age: Origins—but there’s no debating that it was the frontrunner in a golden era for RPGs that influenced at least a decade of other games. If that sounds like the beginning…
Just like the zombie-slaying parkour marathons before it, Dying Light: The Beast offers multiplayer co-op for up to four players. Regardless of the party size, you’re all protagonist Kyle Crane—don’t question it—and share campaign progression, too. Now all the Kyles benefit from their hard work, no matter who’s hosting. It’s an appreciated upgrade for those…
