Crimson Desert’s launch hasn’t been met with universal acclaim, as frustrations with the hypermanic open world’s bizarre control scheme and design oversights like its bafflingly restrictive inventory system have earned an early “Mixed” rating on Steam. Those complaints, however, don’t seem to have slowed its launch day sales. Just over 16 hours after its Steam…

In the grim darkness of the present day, everything has to be an app. So it is that after many long years of service, Games Workshop’s Black Library website—home of its wide range of Warhammer novels—is being replaced with something a little more high tech. Some scepticism is understandable, particularly because this means you now…

What do you want from gaming mouse software? If you’re anything like me, your immediate reaction to that question is probably ‘not much.’ But over the years, I’ve noticed that asking for ‘not much’ actually seems to be quite a lot to ask for, judging from over-bloated and over-complicated software that we’re often served up….

Over 19,000 new games were released on Steam last year, almost an unimaginable amount. So it doesn’t really come as a surprise that a few of all the new releases would share some similarities and even possibly the same name. But there’s Piece by Piece and Piece by Piece, two games from indie devs that…

Three Chinese businessmen have been charged by the US government for allegedly diverting “high-performance computer servers assembled in the United States and integrating sophisticated US artificial intelligence technology to China.” The three are Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw, co-founder of Supermicro; Ruei-Tsang “Steven” Chang, a Supermicro sales manager in Taiwan; and Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun, a contractor of…

Space Marine 2 has achieved a surprising amount of longevity for what you’d have imagined was a one-and-done campaign with tacked-on multiplayer and co-op modes. But I found myself really enjoying the co-op mode, and have been glad to see Saber Interactive stick with it while also working on a sequel, adding more missions, weapons,…

The Mystical Key and Polar Opposites quests come immediately after each other in Crimson Desert. You will have just won an arm wrestling match in Hernand tavern and helped some random villagers clean their chimney. Now, though, you have to take a mysterious key and use it to unlock a room in Hernand Castle. After…

These days, it’s rare to come across a game that feels bad to play. We’ve reached a point where you can hop into a new game in any established genre and largely be off on your merry way. But then I played Crimson Desert, which sees you fumbling across the keyboard trying to remember the…

Marvel Rivals brings a ton of new systems and heroes to the table. But what I’m interested in the most are the individual hero balance changes and the tweaks to the competitive placement match system. Players have been crying out for some serious nerfs and overall balance changes in Marvel Rivals for quite some time…

Usually, when your graphics card doesn’t appear in the system specs for a game, that doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t run it. When no Intel GPU appeared in the Crimson Desert system requirements, one might pick up the game anyway and just risk an unoptimised gaming experience. If you’re among the unlucky few with an…
