Short of The Elder Scrolls 6 actually coming out, there’s never been a better time to be an Elder Scrolls fan. Oblivion Remastered is rekindling the love for Bethesda’s most lovably janky Elder Scrolls game, while mod projects like Tamriel Rebuilt and Skyblivion are either releasing massive new updates or are rapidly approaching completion.

Planet Coaster 2’s latest update introduces crime and punishment to your theme park, adding pickpockets, vandals, and security guards to stop them

I’ve always believed Planet Coaster 2 to be a better game than it’s typically given credit for. But one issue I have with the sequel, and indeed, the series in general is that your park visitors are a bit dull.

Whether it’s a shooter, immersive sim, strategy game, or kart racer, I’m always up for a game that’s about dealing with a horrible problem in the most hostile environment of them all. And wow, does Dandelion Void understand the…

One of the best puzzle games on Steam just got its first update in 11 years and is also verified for Steam Deck: ‘We couldn’t resist including some visual, aural, and input adjustments’

Have you played The Swapper? If not, you should swap whatever you’re doing right now for playing The Swapper. Originally released back in 2013, it’s a sci-fi puzzler that hinges on your ability to create clones of yourself, which then mimic your every movement.

FromSoftware is apparently reserving the right to add an official two-player mode to Elden Ring Nightreign⁠—right now you can only play solo or in a trio. But Yui, the modder behind the Seamless Co-op series of Souls multiplayer hacks, has already done it again with Elden Ring Nightreign a mere day after launch. PCG senior…

Ubisoft marks 10 years of trolling Splinter Cell fans with a new tease and I can’t believe I’m saying this but they used the wrong picture of Sam Fisher

Summer Game Fest season is almost upon us, and you know what that means. That’s right, it’s time for Ubisoft to once again disappoint Splinter Cell fans by reminding us that it’s been almost four years since the remake was announced. “Splinter Cell fans are getting excited about a possible update on the remake in…

Path of Exile 2 director says GGG is learning from its mistakes while supporting 2 games at once: ‘If you want to lock the date, you can’t lock the features’

When Grinding Gear Games first announced Path of Exile 2, it made a promise: PoE1 wasn’t going anywhere, and development on both titles would continue in parallel. Ten months after the last Path of Exile league, it’s clear that the studio bit off a bit more than it can chew, but game director Jonathan Rogers…

If you’re playing Elden Ring Nightreign solo, every merchant carries a revive item, you can carry two at once, and there are more solo QoL changes coming next week

Yesterday, FromSoftware put out an unexpected day one patch for Elden Ring Nightreign that already included balance changes for the roguelike soulslike.
