Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the open-world ‘realistic’ RPG, stands out from the crowd by virtue of the fact that it’s one of the very few games to use Crytek’s CryEngine. Developer Warhorse Studios eschewed the likes of Unreal Engine for the original game and has stuck with CryEngine for its sequel. This is reportedly because…

I have precisely one tattoo, which I paid a trained artist an exorbitant amount of money to ink into my pasty skin. YouTuber Emily The Engineer may have developed a more cost-effective solution, however, as she’s cracked open a 3D printer, bypassed its firmware, equipped it with a tattoo gun—and even found a willing volunteer…
Unless you’re one of the fewer-than-50 people who still play it regularly, there are solid odds you’ve never heard of Lusternia, Age of Ascension, a 21-year-old, free MMO that’s been quietly, contentedly trundling along for most of this century. That’s a shame, I reckon, because as someone who is decidedly ‘not an MMO guy,’ I’ve…
With each new Civilization release, fans of previous versions have taken polarising views of the changes made and it will be no different with this one. However, what might tip opinions in a particular direction is how well it runs and, to cut to the chase immediately, it’s not brilliant. It’s not terrible either, but…
Civilization 7 feels more like a series offshoot than a Civilization 6 sequel, taking the venerated grand strategy series in a different direction from the past two games. Its most radical ideas certainly offer an interesting way to play Civilization, though as things stand it doesn’t feel like the best way to play. It’s the…
The newly released PC port of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 hasn’t enjoyed the smoothest of launches, thanks to bugs and performance problems. And now it seems that one aspect of the conversion that is making things worse is the use of DirectStorage, with the system sucking up all-important GPU resources. Spider-Man 2 was ported by Nixxes…
“History rhymes. It’s not repeating itself. It rhymes.” Warhorse’s global PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling is paraphrasing an aphorism often attributed to Mark Twain—though its origins are actually unknown. He is bemoaning the fact that, once again, the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 studio has found itself embroiled in the exhausting culture war. Back in 2017, before…
If you’re in the UK and currently hunting for an RTX 5090, you’ve probably noticed that stock is… limited, at best. The good news is, Overclockers UK has updated its X account with news of incoming stock. The bad? The estimates for new RTX 5090s available for sale are given as between three and 16…
Not long ago, we got the news that Minecraft would be getting a couple of new pig variants, the warm and the cold pig. Following that, we’ve just heard that cows will also be getting the same treatment, meaning we’ll get fluffy highland Minecraft cows which you can test out before it gets added for…
