Fallout: New Vegas is a sprawling RPG filled with sketchy factions, greasy NPCs, rubbery morality, and tough decisions, all of which ultimately lead the player to one of four possible outcomes that share one thing in common: They’re not great. Which isn’t to say they’re not satisfying, just that there’s no optimal outcome where everybody’s…
There are, somehow, those of us who still haven’t played the hit 2023 RPG Baldur’s Gate 3, and I know that because someone asked My Chemical Romance front man Gerard Way at a recent concert.

Agent 64: Spies Never Die, a lovingly-crafted homage to the classic Nintendo 64 James Bond game GoldenEye, made quite an impression when it turned up at the PC Gaming Show in 2022, but all hasn’t gone quite according to plan since then. An early access release expected later that year didn’t come together, and updates…

It took all of one day for Marvel Rivals to enrage players after the release of season 9 with a new, unasked for, and slightly confusing patch. It buffed tons of heroes some of which in no way needed a helping hand. “Our temporal scanners have been working overtime, analyzing battlefield telemetry and listening to…
