“Hark Elm! We’ve been missing you back at the party, it’s such a shame you got laid off,” reads a scroll on my desk in the opening minutes of Dungeon Bodega Simulator. “I heard you opened a shop! What a quaint way to bounce back, I’ll try and stop by next time we adventure in…
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra said this week that “AI, in one form or another, will be in every single video game,” so there’s no point in a developer apologizing for using it. “I don’t get why devs feel the need to bend over for the few folks who can’t accept the reality that AI…
Friendslop’s officially made its way to Fortnite, as physics-based climbing ‘sim’ Peak now has a set of skins in Epic’s battle royale. That should be music to my ears, as Peak’s cheery scouts are impossible to hate—just look at their little faces! While they’re slightly less cute in Fortnite’s style, in large part down to…
Disco Elysium is, and you know I mean this as a compliment, perhaps the most commie goddamn game I’ve ever played. The melancholy Marxism comes off it in waves, and no wonder: so many of its now-departed writers were some flavour of radical, with lead writer Robert Kurvitz describing aspects of the game’s story as…
Alongside the layoff of more than 1,000 employees announced earlier today, Epic is also ending a trio of Fortnite modes—Rocket Racing, Ballistic, and Festival Battle Stage—and removing the racing games Horizon Chase and Horizon Chase Turbo from sale. The Fortnite modes are being removed because, Epic said, “we’ve built a lot of Fortnite modes, and…
I get the sense that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and I are quite different people. He’s the head of the world’s most valuable company, and a massively influential tech figure. I’m a long-haired hardware writer that had beans on toast for lunch. That sort of thing. However, when it comes to our opinions on games,…
Surviving Marathon’s latest map, Cryo Archive, is one hell of a challenge. Completing all the puzzles and the pinnacle event, a boss fight against Compiler, well, that’s on a whole other level entirely that we mere mortals can only aspire to reach. You need to gather six rare keys from the other maps to open…
Finding Darkbringer in Crimson Desert gives you a great-looking two-handed sword—perfect if you’re claymore-minded and want something a little more interesting than Rhett’s Longsword or the Balton Longsword. Darkbringer is also a really powerful weapon in its own right, because, unlike the Soul Spear, say, its powerful ability is a detachable Abyss Gear that fires…
Sony PlayStation lead system architect Mark Cerny has done an in-depth interview with Digital Foundry. The full discussion isn’t out yet, but a few very interesting tidbits have been released regarding Sony’s latest PSSR upscaling technology for the PlayStation 5 Pro, the related Project Amethyst collaboration with AMD, and how that all ties in with…
Asus took the opportunity at CES 2026 earlier this year to unveil two shiny new keyboards: the fast, Hall effect ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE that’s focused squarely at gamers; and the one I’ve had in front of me for the last couple of weeks, the ROG Strix Morph 96 Wireless. This is a keyboard…
