Nioh 3 has a lot of different levers you can use to increase your power, from raising your stats to spending locks on skills, getting new gear, and earning titles. One of the easiest methods is using slottable skills you’ll find from chests or get by completing various activities. However, you can only activate so…

Almost as soon as you set foot into Nioh 3’s first open-world zone, during the Warring States period, you’ll stumble across a Spirit Vein. In fact, there are two not far from where you enter the Tenryu River. If you walk up to these glowing spots, you won’t be able to interact with them whatsoever,…

Puzzling out how to change appearance in Nioh 3 is likely one of the first things you’ll wonder how to do, especially if, in typical Soulslike fashion, you either regret the monstrosity you’ve created, or they somehow don’t look anything like they did in the character creator.

The new character in Highguard Episode 2, as the update is formally named, is Ekon, and he’s…

Once again it’s time for my annual—except for the year I forgot—tradition of simulating the Super Bowl here at PC Gamer! I’ve now done it six times using various American football-related PC games and have a record of 3-3 for predicting the winner, a 50% accuracy rate. Meaning I could have skipped all those hours…

We’ve been able to swim around just off the coast of Rust’s murder island for years now, but I’m absolutely terrified of the sharks most players seem to shrug off, so I keep myself parked on land watching from a safe distance. After today’s Naval Update, I’m thinking that may change as Rust adds buildable…

Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 brings a ton of new stuff across multiplayer, Zombies, and Endgame, including fan-favorite maps and weapons from classic Black Ops games. There’s a lot to keep track of this season, and not everything is releasing all at once. To make things easier to follow, here’s a…
