Picking a Crisis Kit when you first load into FBC: Firebreak isn’t as important as you might initially think. Since you can swap between kits whenever you want in the loadout menu, you won’t be stuck with the first one you choose—in fact I’m not even sure why the game offers you this choice when…
Puzzling out the best weapons in FBC: Firebreak might take you a little time when you first drop into the Federal Bureau of Control. Not too long, mind you, considering the game only has six weapons on launch and some are quite clearly a lot stronger than others. To quickly aid you in gunning down…
FBC: Firebreak is one of the messiest games I’ve ever played, but this is in large part because it is a game about mess. Creating it, cleaning it up, getting caked up to your neck in it—your character is constantly covered in water or sticky notes or quivering pink goo that could’ve sluiced straight out…
I can’t say I ever thought I’d write a guide about how to destroy sticky notes, but FBC: Firebreak isn’t your average game.

My favorite mythical beasties mostly showed up for a passing greeting or to die within seconds, but it sounds like that’s a problem PlaySide’s upcoming RTS, Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, could remedy. “The dragons have been a…
Rainbow Six Siege is having a moment. The tactical FPS is one week into a major update that introduced a new name (Siege X), a wild 6v6 mode, modernized maps, and most consequential of all, a new price point: After holding out for 10 years, Siege is finally free-to-play. Siege X is now more popular…
On an Internet of Shit, a cool website feels newsworthy, and graphic designer Josh Worth has made a very cool website. If The Moon Were Only One Pixel is a “tediously accurate” recreation of our stellar neighborhood you can explore in your browser, and it’s a meditative, thoughtful way to break up the monotony of…
Chinese game company Cognosphere is known for four things: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, and its aggressive pursuit of anyone who doesn’t toe the line on its announcement and release schedules. In the latest example of how much it really, really does not like leakers, the company is now suing a guy…
