User Orange on YouTube caught my eye with a 12-minute showcase of some of the most impressive modded skins players have cranked out for Elden Ring Nightreign, which include characters from other franchises, as well as yet more Dark Souls throwbacks. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, they’re effectively inaccessible. All the skin replacement mods…

Ahead of Steam’s Summer Sale next week, The Game Bakers’ excellent 2016 bullet hell dueling game Furi is having a little sale of its own. The normally $20 game can be had for just $2, and I’m taking the opportunity to buy the dang thing again myself. Former PC Gamer editor James Davenport gave Furi…

Team 17 is running a publisher sale over the next week, offering an array of discounts like half-price on eldritch fishing sim Dredge and 80% off chaotic cooperative chef adventure Overcooked. By far and away the best discount, though, is for the The Game Kitchen’s Catholocism-coded angst ‘n’ slash Blasphemous, which is a whopping 90%…

Sorry Pathologic 2 fans, but I am one of those people, the ones who say how much they like the look of Ice-Pick Lodge’s pestilent immersive sim, but wish it was more willing to meet them halfway on the challenge front. It’s not simply that Pathologic 2 is hard. I don’t mind a game kicking…

What are your plans for this weekend? Pint in the sunshine? Booking a summer holiday? Simulating the effects of the industrial revolution on the global economy of the nineteenth century? If it’s the latter, that’s tremendously specific. But I have good tidings for you anyway, as Paradox’s grand strategy Victoria 3 is free to play…

My Friend Pedro was a Flash game that evolved into a standalone release in which you played a man who used his skateboard gun-fu skills to kill bad dudes at the command of a talking banana (named Pedro). It was a lot of fun. I gave it an 81. You could throw a frypan into…

I think we can all agree that an always-on minimap is bad. Like the TV in a bar, you find your eyes drawn to it even when there are other things you should be looking at. You stare at a corner of your monitor while ignoring the fancy grandeur of whatever expensive open world is…

The answer to today’s Wordle is only a little trip down the page if you need a hand. You can save it in case you get stuck, go for an easy win and unleash it on your first row, or… not use it at all if you prefer. Don’t worry, we can still help. Our…

In our Hypnospace Outlaw review, Andy Kelly called it “a cyber-detective adventure set within a fictional computer operating system”, with an alternate 1999 setting let you explore a nostalgic pocket internet full of music, animations, and screensavers. “This garish low-res internet, inspired by the digital shanty towns of GeoCities, is fully realised. There are hundreds…
