It’s been years since I played Destiny 2, and the game has changed dramatically since then. But some things never change, which brings us to the new Blackletter armor ornament set for Warlocks, which you currently cannot use. The Blackletter set, which was released today, doesn’t strike me as all that: It basically dresses players…

Back in 2022, YouTube introduced new rules for creators on its platform that demonetized videos containing “strong profanity” profanity in the first seven seconds. The results were not great: Unclear policies and uneven enforcement left more than a few YouTubers up in arms over the potential threat to their livelihoods. Several months later, YouTube eased…

Rotation assist, a new single-button way to play World of Warcraft, is literally game-changing. Introduced in the most recent patch 11.1.7, the feature has two flavors: Assisted Highlight, which highlights the toolbar button corresponding to what ability a player “should” use next for optimal gameplay. Single-Button Assistant, which for a small global cooldown penalty will…

My sincerest apologies to all the Silent Hill 2 fans out there, but the closest I’ve ever gotten to playing it was today via Roblox.

Like most resources in the game’s dense grass and dark caves, petals aren’t hard to gather once you know what to…

I enjoyed my share of Twisted Metal as a kid, but I never loved Twisted Metal—and I think it’s because the drivers were corny. I know a lot of people love Sweet Tooth, but I just wanted to experience cars shooting and exploding each other without any clown-related distractions. Fumes understands me. In the early…

PC Gamer’s resident Call of Duty officer Morgan Park had some thoughts when Call of Duty HQ debuted in 2023, and I’m just going to let him speak for himself here: “Call of Duty’s new stupid launcher is a data management nightmare, and it may get worse with Modern Warfare 3.” No, come on Morgan,…

The International Game Developers Association, a non-profit industry group that aims to “support and empower game developers around the world in achieving fulfilling and sustainable careers,” has weighed into the controversy over the delisting of NSFW games on Steam and Itch.io, calling for “greater transparency and fairness in how adult games are moderated and actioned…

The Edge of Fate marks a landmark shift for Destiny 2. It’s both the launch of a new saga—an attempt to hook players into a bold new direction for the game’s story—and a massive change to Destiny’s most fundamental progression systems. Seasons are gone. Loot has been overhauled. The very structure of the activities you…

We’re in a golden age for incredibly weird games from Eastern Europe. There’s Indika, the one where you play a nun who chats with Satan. There’s Militsioner, the one where you explore a town presided over by a 100-story-tall cop. There’s HROT, the FPS about socialist Czechoslovakia. And now there’s One-Eyed Likho, a horror/puzzle game…
