The mighty 4X genre is my forever obsession. Even while massive RPGs and life-consuming MMOs steal me away, I’m never too far away from conducting another conquest of a fantasy realm or an entire galaxy, rallying my armies or pretending I’m down for diplomacy when I’m really just planning to pinch some new technology. But…

I’m not sure if this year’s Steam Autumn sale is better than usual or if I’m just desperate to feel something by cashing in on deals. Regardless, I’ve managed to pad out my library with Bethesda’s sales, which should keep me occupied for at least the next few months. Among the many games I have…

Call me a bit of a softie, you’ll probably be right, but I can’t help feel bad for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Sure, it was an ill-advised stab at live service that came at the cost of a dent to Rocksteady’s rep, one that lost Warner Bros. $200 million, fell short of every…

Around a year ago, we learned the acclaimed movie studio A24 had joined Death Stranding’s film project. At the time, I remember thinking A24 may be one of the only studios out there that could keep up with Hideo Kojima’s wild visions, and it seems like I was right because Kojima doesn’t want this movie…

One of 2024’s early and surprise big-hitters was Palworld, the game that swiftly became known as Pokémon with guns (even though it’s much more of a survival-type experience). Success was instantaneous, with the game’s ridiculous sights especially suited to streaming, and since launch developer Pocketpair has maintained a steady rhythm of new content (the game…

Diablo is an ARPG, a term that is admittedly fraying at the edges like an overworn bag. We obviously mean different things when we talk about action RPGs like Diablo, and action RPGs like The Veilguard, but it’s a genre descriptor we use nonetheless. It’s like CRPGs—yes, CRPG means something specific (an isometric RPG with…

What do they do with you when you die in Skyrim? The draugr would suggest you get interred in some kind of big tomb to murder future adventurers, but aren’t those all Nords? What if you’re playing a Dunmer, or a Breton, or some other non-native culture in Skyrim’s snow-capped peaks? You presumably get stuck…

King Lear. Jean Valjean. Eva Perón. These are some of the roles that can define an actor’s career, but there’s only one that can define an actor’s life: Shadow the Hedgehog. In the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3, that role is being filled by none other than John Wick himself, Keanu Reeves, and Paramount has…

We’ve got the answer to today’s Wordle all typed up and ready to go, just hanging around this page if you need a quick win or you’re running out of rows to type your guesses into. Don’t worry if that’s all a bit sudden—our hint for the November 28 (1258) puzzle’s also on standby, and…

The best players of Deadlock have jumped the turnstile and started organizing their own competitive scene, and I think you should join me in my jealousy of their improvised format. It’s been just over a month since Valve added a ranked mode—and just a few days since ranked became the only mode in Deadlock. The…
