I’ve been a Bethesda fan for decades, by which I mean I consider Morrowind my favourite game of all time and I’ve gotten progressively crankier about everything released thereafter, so perhaps it’s inevitable that the dull thud Starfield made when it released has made me start thinking about the studio, its past, and its future….
I’m no stranger to the highs and lows of live service gaming. As a nine-year Destiny veteran, I’ve seen how pretty much every conceivable crisis plays out. Servers going down for days at a time. Disastrous balance changes that leave the community in chaos. Tone deaf developer statements that get walked back days later. What…
Nothing about Chants of Sennaar says “nostalgia” at first glance. It’s a puzzle adventure game with an on-trend art style of high contrast, bright colors, and beautiful lighting and water effects. But it’s taken me back to the ’90s more effectively than any self-styled “retro” game in years. Personal Pick (Image credit: Future) In addition…
Despite tough competition, Nightdive’s recreation of the Looking Glass classic was our favourite remake of the year. For more awards, head to our Game of the Year 2023 page. Robert Jones, Print Editor: Nightdive Studios absolutely knocked it out of the park with the System Shock remake, somehow achieving the near impossible balancing act of…
Remnant 2’s first DLC dropped a short while ago—and it’s a pretty good romp. It adds a whole new area to explore, a new class, and some new gear to grab—it also enhances Losomn as a whole, since having the DLC lets its areas and bosses crop up during your randomised runs of the main…
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has taken a shot at his main rival in high performance computing, dismissing Nvidia’s success in providing GPUs for AI modelling as “extraordinarily lucky.” Gelsinger also implied that it would have been Intel, not Nvidia, currently coining it in AI hardware had the company not killed one of his pet projects…
It should come as no surprise that Zack Snyder is up for making a Fortnite movie, if anyone is shopping around for a director. It would be a licence to print money. It could be a complete stinker and it would still probably be the most watched movie of all time. If Epic’s interested, I’d…
We often discuss the impressive turnaround of games like No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk, but Fallout 76 should probably be included in that discussion. While the game launched as an empty wasteland back in 2018, Bethesda has since added a ton of new features to make it feel more like, well, a Fallout game. NPCs,…
The new Wish-Keeper exotic bow in Destiny 2 is a pretty cool weapon concept wise. Just like Verglas Curve from the Season of Defiance, Wish-Keeper continues the trend of bows that tie heavily into elemental subclasses. It builds energy on precision hits and final blows before unleashing a Snareweaver arrow that can suspend enemies. Though…

We do one every month, taking on new challenges and approaching our favourite games from entirely new angles—and letting you know how we got on. I’ve decided I no longer want to be a hero. Through a lifetime spent playing games…
