The Byzantine emperor Basil II had an illustrious career. He ruled for almost 50 years, stood fast during a time of perpetual civil war, subjugated the First Bulgarian Empire and won a large number of military campaigns. And thanks to Dr. Andrew Alan Johnson, he briefly conquered history, replacing every single entry in Civilization 6‘s…

In a recent video published by semiwork about REPO‘s first update, developers shared a little insight into how they’ve responded to the sudden success of their co-op horror game. As it turns out, its popularity took the team by complete surprise and in a way was the saving grace semiwork needed to continue as a…

ASRock’s motherboard saga has been an ongoing story for months now, with CPUs appearing to fail, ASRock finding debris at fault for one problem, and then over 100 cases of AMD 9800X3D chips dying in just a few short weeks. Just days ago, ASRock acknowledged problems with its board, with an accompanying BIOS fix, and…

Over 30 years ago, way back in 1992, developers id Software launched Wolfenstein 3D on PCs. Unbeknownst at the time, it also kick-started an evolutionary tree for a series of game engines that are not just synonymous with id Software’s subsequent Doom and Quake franchises, but are also famous for pushing the boundaries of graphics…

While Fissure in the Fog is at the bottom of the expeditions list in Elden Ring Nightreign, you might want to tackle it right after Tricephalos or Gaping Jaw, as it’s on the easier side. That’s not to say it’s easy, though—it’s FromSoftware, did you expect anything less than cruel? To tick off another of…

In a completely unsurprising turn of events, Semiwork has published another video about REPO‘s first update. With that said, it looks like these video diaries are coming to an end, since this week’s episode began with an apology directed toward players voicing their desperation for any sort of release date, and the caption “we are…

It’s official—grab your special someone and fill out your C-01 permit—Super Earth is saved. After a gruelling 11-day campaign, the players of Helldivers 2 have finally emerged victorious in a pitched battle against the Illuminate. As an official in-game announcement reads, Prosperity City and Equality-on-Sea were the last bastions to remain—the latter of which caused…

Although it’s a dedicated multiplayer game, Elden Ring Nightreign oddly overlooks all the bells and whistles that you’d expect; there’s no voice or text chat whatsoever. However, Nightreign also doesn’t skimp on the challenge, so communication is key. Like a caveman, you’re going to have to know how to emote and use gestures to get…

Elden Ring Nightreign has a few fans in the hallowed halls of PC Gamer, but I confess that I am not among them. It’s a rare fail for FromSoftware—a studio that almost exclusively designs games that I should hate, as a lazy man with a low tolerance for adversity, but which I usually end up…

Is this a safe space? Can I make a confession? I still haven’t finished Elden Ring. In fact, I’ve yet to make much further than Margit. For all the hours I sunk into The Lands Between, it never quite got its hooks into me. I’ll go back and give it another shot some day, but…
