Rust went into full release on Steam eight years ago, but its early access debut goes back to 2013—13 whole years ago. In videogame terms, that means it should’ve had at least three sequels by now, but so far? Nothing. Is that about to change? I have no idea, but an all-caps post on Reddit…
Everybody in the Europa Universalis community has spent the last four months worked up about the (admittedly hilarious) glitches that have plagued EU5 since its release, but the real problem with the game is much deeper. I’m an EU4 veteran with 1,700 hours and a world conquest under my belt, and I can attest that…
Despite the first trailer for Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse looking very much like a classic exploration-focused platformer, the involvement of Dead Cells developer Evil Empire had some folks going into a “Oh god, I hope it’s not a roguelike” panic. Konami tried to assuage those fears with the label “2D exploration action game,” which only highlighted…
I played nearly 50 hours of Graveyard Keeper in 2018 and its grim take on a Stardew Valley life sim turned me into one of the most evil characters I’ve ever played. As the caretaker of the dead, I quickly came to view human body parts as just another crafting resource to be harvested for…
Upcoming hero shooter Last Flag was a sponsor of last year’s PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted, and we spent a day with brothers Dan and Mac Reynolds talking about the game and how it came to be. We couldn’t broadcast the entire mini-doc we shot during the show, but with Last Flag’s release imminent, we’ve…
Road to Vostok, the hardcore survival shooter developed by Finnish former army officer Antti Leinonen, has built up a lot of hype since Leinonen released its first demo in 2022, thanks in no small part to how terrifying it is to be shot at by its bandits while you’re scavenging for soup cans. That hype,…
XGunzilla Games, the developer of the NFT battle royale Off the Grid and, more recently, resurrector of Game Informer, is facing multiple allegations that it has failed to pay some of its staff, in some cases for months. Gunzilla CEO Vlad Korolev acknowledged the claims in a message posted to X, writing, “to not disrupt…
We’ve all heard about that “dark Stardew Valley” horror farm sim right? No, I wasn’t talking about—no, not that one either. Hold on, how many horror farm sims are in development right now? I thought it was just one, maybe two, but I just learned about three more not-so-cozy horror-ish farm sims during today’s Triple-I…
A new Intel driver dropped a couple of days ago, and to the surprise of some Reddit users, it’s allowing them to play Crimson Desert. A game that was previously unable to run on Arc graphics cards and integrated GPUs. There’s no explicit note about support for Crimson Desert in the driver update, 32.0.101.8629 WHQL,…
Art of Rally is a remarkably good little racer, seeing you bomb down trails from an isometric view. It’s hard but incredibly stylish and satisfying to master. So I was very excited to see developer Funselektor (in collaboration with Strelka Games) give off-road exploration a spin with Over the Hill. From the trailers, it looks…
