Meant to be a direct competitor to the woefully under-staffed life sim genre—specifically, the Sims-like part of it—Inzoi’s a bit of a strange beast. While it landed to some solid sales figures, over a million in a week, and is enjoying a “mostly positive” overall review score on Steam, it’s also experienced a pretty sharp…
One of my favourite films is 1982’s Blade Runner, for more reasons than just its rain-slicked, retrofitted future, but the funky, chunky monitors certainly help. For obvious reasons, it’s a noticeable quirk of sci-fi flicks from this era—the enveloping Mother computer in 1979’s Alien a particularly memorable example. With an understandable hankering for that aged,…
It’s great that so many PlayStation games have come to PC in the last few years, letting me stack a heap of extra big-budget videogame junk food on my pile of shame. Welcome to the backlog, Horizon Zero Dawn. These games haven’t always set the Steam top sellers list on fire, however, sometimes thanks to…

Back in April, Valve announced the Steam store would start highlighting accessibility features on games’ store pages. And now, it has. Not only can you see them in the sidebar beneath the controller support section for selected games, you can also search the store by individual accessibility features. “This update comes after gathering valuable feedback…
Dune: Awakening has a comprehensive base-building policy that goes something like this: Build a base wherever you want. That’s pretty much the entire policy. There are restrictions, of course: build too far out on the sand and a sandworm will show up and eat a hunk of your base—with you in it, if you’re not…
In typical FromSoftware fashion, it teased an Elden Ring Nightreign update coming this month that will add “enhanced” boss fights with zero clues as to what that actually means. Well, it turns out, those clues have been sitting in the game files since it came out, and there’s already a mod that will let you…
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but it’s the year of Obsidian: Microsoft’s fastest-working studio already has one 2025 RPG under its belt in Avowed, and it’s putting out another one in October with The Outer Worlds 2. Completing the trifecta of 2025 Obsidian launches is Grounded 2, the odd duck of the portfolio. Not…
Sometimes a game’s appeal is immediately apparent from a single GIF. Maybe it’s a goose terrorizing a small town, or a surprisingly slick set of menus. I knew I wanted to play Spine the second I saw a looping clip of a character methodically kicking, grappling, and shooting a room full of hired muscle with…
The Eighth Trial of Aql isn’t like the seven other Dune: Awakening story quests that came before it. You can’t even get inside the trial without passing a test on Dune lore, and once you’re in the trial you’ll have to beat several more puzzles to complete it. You need to complete these trials in…
