Aside from when it’s wildly out of whack with the game world, I don’t think about the height of videogame characters much. At a modest 5’7, I generally assume that most videogame protagonists are taller than me. There have been a few occasions where a character’s canonical height has surprised me, though. For example, a…
Last year’s first-person horror Still Wakes the Deep combined three of my favourite things, namely Scottish people, oil rigs, and The Thing. It’s the best game that The Chinese Room has made yet in my opinion, and my only real complaint (if you can call it that) is that I would happily have played more…
Chaotic cooperative shooter FBC: Firebreak isn’t out until next week, but developer Remedy has already unveiled its longer-term plans for its multiplayer Control spinoff.

As part of The Witcher 3’s 10th anniversary celebration, CD Projekt Red spoke to GamesRadar about the “secret sauce” that made its quests so special.

Silent Hill F is…
Tech YouTuber Bringus Studios has published a 36-minute video analyzing, testing, and disassembling the prototype Steam Deck that sold on eBay in April. Bringus’ analysis shows it to be a much less powerful device than what we ultimately got, but surprisingly close to the retail unit in terms of layout. Though Bringus Studios published the…
As reported by Malay Mail, Malaysian-born British actor Pik-Sen Lim died on Monday, June 9 at the age of 80. Lim had an extensive career in British theater, film, and television. PC Gamer readers will recognize her as the narrator of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3’s opening cutscenes. Though her performances in FromSoft’s action-RPGs…
The sport of rally racing is simple and accessible: you take a cheap city car, give it some all-terrain tires, and throw it down a hair-raising man-versus-nature gauntlet of winding dirt roads with a copilot shouting directions in your ear. There are no laps, no other drivers, and no pit stops. Unfortunately for fans, there’s…
First reported by GamesRadar, The Outer Worlds 2 director Brandon Adler had the most reasonable and sympathetic developer-side explanation I’ve yet heard for a game’s $80 price tag: Sorry, but it wasn’t my call.
