Retro aesthetics are all the rage amongst many trying to recapture those warm feelings of their childhood through nostalgia tinted peripherals. We’re seeing an influx of Commodore 64 inspired wares, with dusty grey plastic housings and orange highlights, like this XTRFY K4V2 TKL keyboard from Cherry. 8BitDo is another brand dipping into retro stylings, with…
MORGAN PARK, STAFF WRITER (Image credit: Future) This week: Got back to his 95-hour Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 playthrough and discovered there’s still a lot of main quest to go. Before the quick match button, before the party system, before skill-based matchmaking, we had the server browser: A literal list of all active matches, neatly…
Building a fire in a survival game is an important early-game milestone: it lets you stay warm and toasty even when the temperature drops, and you can start cooking basic meals instead of just stuffing berries into your face.

The publisher is requesting an outright dismissal of the lawsuit filed against it and…
Going right back to my first preview of FBC: Firebreak, my question has always been the same: who is this for?
