The first few hours of Death Stranding 2 are slow and oddly relaxing, considering the sandstorms, floods, and rockslides you’ll be clambering through. That all changes at the end of Episode 1: Sam, where you have to find Lou and Fragile. Sam’s home is raided by mysterious soldiers, forcing his Bridge Baby and ally to…
Working out the Motherhood door code in Death Stranding 2 is pretty easy if you paid attention to what Charlie said at the start of order 26. If you’re anything like me, though, his instructions flew straight over your head and you arrived at the Motherhood confused as to why there was a code-based door…
Rematch is a hit—nonchalantly dribbling its way to one million players on its first day of release. It’s the latest game by Sloclap, who you might know from Sifu and Absolver—a brawler and a fighting game respectively, if you’ve been paying attention. The studio’s gotten the art of kicking the crap out of someone down…
While it’s fair to say that Nvidia’s RTX 50-series of graphics cards might not go down in history as the greatest lineup of GPUs ever created, the release of DLSS 4 has been far more warmly received. This latest collection of AI-powered upscaling, frame generation, and ray tracing denoiser technologies is the best yet, though…
If I can find one, I think my next car is going to be a 1990 Volkswagen Golf GTi MK2. Even though my Mum drove one through the noughties, it’s not just the nostalgic charm that appeals, but chiefly the fact that such an old car can’t be remotely hacked. PCA Cyber Security is a…
In procuring any new piece of tech, my first question has always been “Can it run DOOM?” It’s a query that becomes all the more far-fetched as the game storms through its countless evolutions away from the initial mishmash of bloody pixels on a CRT TV. Thankfully, GPUs are keeping up with the current graphical…
Assassin’s Creed Shadows released 56 years ago: last March, and since then has kind of slipped out of the discourse as hype cycles for new games have been born, ripened, and died. But it keeps trundling on, getting patch after patch after content update after content update, and today marks the game’s 1.0.6 patch. Which…
Nintendo’s new handheld is certainly a smash hit. But one of the less impressive aspects of the Switch 2 is its 7.9-inch IPS display. Reddit has been alight with complaints concerning the speed of the display, with owners bemoaning the blurring and smearing of games. Now the results from independent testing are in and they’re…
It seems like yesterday that I was talking to Cloudflare about DDoS attacks, the sheer number of nefarious attacks the company deals with on a daily basis, and how things seem to be getting worse, but it was actually back in May. Not long after our chat, though, something happened that confirmed what we were…
It’s coming up to a month since Elden Ring Nightreign was released, and as players begin to get more comfortable with all the existing Nightlords, FromSoftware has begun to release Everdark versions of the bosses—suped-up atrocities which have a third phase. First, there was Gaping Jaw, with the Everdark version having swirling tornados, more purple…
