I was a little surprised to discover that Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is one of Steam’s most wishlisted gamed. Naturally, I’d assumed there must be a fanbase for this prequel from developer Unfrozen and publisher Hooded Horse, otherwise they wouldn’t make it. But I’d severely underestimated just how ravenous strategy fans are…
It sure is a good time to be a fan of ye-olde FPS Blood. Following Nightdive’s release of its second overhaul of Monolith’s debut gunfest, the developer has been quietly updating it with enhanced versions of some of the shooter’s best mods. The first of these arrived in January, in the form of Marrow: Episode…
I’ve been intrigued by oceanic survival sim The Last Caretaker since it was announced, but I have also been a little confused by its tone.

Folks like, for instance, PC Gamer’s Rory Norris, who called the game’s control scheme “bafflingly convoluted.” Or Morgan Park, who said the game’s “true boss battle is wrangling its…
Kirsten Dunst has been signed up for the Minecraft Movie sequel, which currently doesn’t have a title, as the player avatar Alex. Alex is one of the default avatars in the game, is female, and has red hair: so Mary Jane feels like a pretty good fit. Dunst is of course known for many more…
The ways in which AI has made our lives worse in the last few years feels, on some level, personal. The RAMpocalypse and Nvidia’s pivot to AI datacenters have made PC gaming a dramatically less affordable hobby. Google is rewriting journalists’ headlines to make them worse while also scraping our work into “AI overviews” that…
