Grounded 2 was announced at the Xbox Games Showcase over the weekend, and it’s releasing into early access next month—July 29, to be specific. Early access can be a real boon for games, as it enables developers to iterate with (hopefully) large-scale feedback toward a complete, as-good-as-it-can-be final release, but there are risks involved too,…

I’ve been spending my free time sifting through all the new demos showcased in this month’s Steam Next Fest. And while there’s a whole host of incredible multiplayer games that are right up my alley I’ve landed on Sizzle and Stack, an infuriating, stress-inducing cooking card game. It all starts slowly. At first there are…

The Divine Comedy is one of the classics of world literature, and still taught in Italian schools to this day. This epic poem was finished in 1321, shortly before author Dante Alighieri’s death, and essentially follows his quest to right the world’s wrongs and put a lot of people he didn’t like in hell. Virgil…

In our Outer Worlds review back in 2019, we called Obsidian’s sci-fi satire “a quirky romp across a solar system ruled by brutal corporations,” but the zany ribbing about the excesses of corporate misconduct didn’t land for everyone living in the world where the delivery drivers of major companies are pressured to pee in bottles…

Glorious’ new entry-level lightweight gaming mouse is out. At least the Glorious Model O Eternal is out literally everywhere across the world except the US. And the reason? “Ongoing global supply chain issues,” apparently. Quite how a “global” supply chain issue prevents release in just one country isn’t clear. Perhaps the real reason would more…

There’s a scene in Andor—the show that asks what if Star Wars read Gramsci—where the main character observes of the imperial ruling class that all you need is “a uniform, some dirty hands, and an imperial toolkit” to slip beneath the notice of the world’s most powerful people. “They’re so proud of themselves, they don’t…

OLED is very nearly the perfect display technology. But two possible problems remain. The first, limited full-screen brightness looks like it’s been cracked by Samsung and LG’s next-gen panel tech. And now new evidence that burn-in isn’t necessarily much of a worry is here. YouTube channel, Monitors Unboxed, has been running a long term test…

Death Howl’s demo is part of Steam Next fest—which meant, after a glowing recommendation from PCG’s Robin Valentine earlier this year, I was obligated to give it a try. Partially because I get paid a salary for this sort of thing, but also because I heard the words “soulslike deckbuilder” and thought nah, surely not….

While copper ore and even iron ore are just about everywhere once you reach Vermillius Gap in Dune: Awakening, you likely won’t just stumble into some carbon ore by accident. Instead, you’ll have to venture out further. If you’ve been exploring the second region and hoping for the best, you won’t have any luck. Below,…

The Grand Theft Auto 6 mapping project has been underway since September 2022 and in just a few years it has come a massively long way. But as we crawl closer to GTA 6’s official release players are starting to query how much of it is truly accurate. “It’s crazy that even with how little…
