Destiny 2’s live service ambitions have come to an end with its final update last week. And with it, Bungie added everything and the kitchen sink, from new catalysts for every Exotic weapon to broken perk combinations. With no new endgame to grind or necessarily protect the sanctity of balance, Bungie’s set us free with…
I went into the immersive horror sim, Thanks for the Soup, with few expectations—I certainly didn’t think it would hurl me into the complex world of organic broccoli farming, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. The premise of Thanks for the Soup is simple: you deliver soup from 5pm to 1am to…
Between online video calls, streaming, content creating, and messing with music, I really appreciate a good microphone for my PC setup. Once upon a time I’d be hard pressed to find a high-quality USB mic, but with many gamer brands stepping into the space great PC mics have become more commonplace. What I haven’t seen…
I usually expect blank stares when I wax nostalgic about The Guild 2, a rough diamond that’s part management game, part life sim, part RPG. It’s the kind of game that does well in central Europe but not remotely as well elsewhere. Your classic eurojank romp: big on ambition, not so much on optimisation or…
If you were waiting for GTA 6 to drop when it should have done on May 26 (well, on console at least), you were probably more than a little perturbed by its delay to *checks watch* no time soon, i.e. November. That’s to allow Rockstar to “finish the game with the level of polish you…
When I buy a new phone, it’s not going to be, say, the Ayaneo Pocket Play or one of those pricey RedMagic gaming smartphones with the ridiculous refresh rate. For the sake of both my wallet and my soul, I’m looking at a less capable bit of kit. Thankfully, an unexpected source is now offering…
Arc Raiders has had its fair share of cheaters and game-breaking exploits, so much so that some players and big-name streamers have sworn it off. There are your usual wallhacks and whatnot, as well as exploits to spawn endless rubber duckies and equipment. Just recently, TheGamingMerchant put the duping exploits to the test, discovering just…
I know, I get it. I’ve waxed lyrical quite a lot recently about Phanteks’ current line of cases. It’s genuinely becoming mildly problematic from a tech journo standpoint. But I do think the company’s on to a bit of a winning streak with its latest line-up of big metal boxes that we put very expensive…
Mistfall Hunter is a promising, if curious little creature of a game—with a playable demo for Steam’s Next Fest available now, it seems to market itself as an extraction soulslike. Well, the Steam page says it’s a “dark fantasy extraction ARPG,” but it’s clearly trying to capture soulslike vibes. There’s a shrine maiden equivalent, combat…
Literally since launch, free loadouts have been a source of contention in Arc Raiders. They’re great if you just want to chill, shoot some things, and not have to worry about losing loot. But on the flip side, their prevalence undermines the loot economy and incentivises everyone to avoid risk. Why use your best gear…
