“I expect a lot of people will hate it,” said Brendan Greene, creator of PUBG, when talking about his next game. That’s not the strongest sales pitch I’ve ever heard, but makes more sense with the context that he’s talking about the uncompromising difficulty of survival game Prologue: Go Wayback!, which launches into early access…
Monster Hunter Wilds has “entered the area,” as it would say of one of its giant roaring enemies storming onto the scene. Far from an unbeatable monstrosity though, Wilds is the best starting point yet for the long-running series with its open world, streamlined combat systems, and slightly less clunky co-op system than past games….
BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk left the company with fellow founder Ray Muzyka in 2012, four years after the pair had sold the storied RPG developer to Electronic Arts. It’s fair to say that both are probably watching recent events with interest, after the lukewarm commercial reception to Dragon Age: The Veilguard saw the publisher react…
Everybody makes mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes arise from good intentions—paving the road to Hell and all that—and sometimes, well, maybe you just didn’t think things through very well. But Epic Games says it believes in second chances, so if you’ve made a mistake in Fortnite at some point in the past, it’s going to give…
Dungeonborne, the game that once looked set to compete with Dark and Darker on the fantasy hack-and-slash extraction game front, is throwing in the towel. Developer Mithril Interactive announced today that new account registrations and in-game purchases will be halted on February 28, and the game itself will go dark on May 28. We got…
This is it, hunters: it’s been a long, long wait for Monster Hunter Wilds, with five years somehow passing since we played the great World expansion Iceborne on PC. Sure we had a little hunting detour with 2022’s Monster Hunter Rise, but Monster Hunter: World’s successor is here at long last, and it’s pretty great….
Sexy games have been around for as long I can remember: I played Strip Poker on my Apple IIe way back in the ’80s. But Steam’s hands-off curation policy, the arrival of indie-friendly marketplaces like Itch.io, and the rise of monetization platforms like Patreon have led to a proliferation of adult games that means it’s…
It took a few matches of Splitgate 2 before I understood what 1047 Games was going for in the sequel. A preview session held a few weeks ago took us through every mode on offer in the alpha running today through March 2, and while I couldn’t stay for the whole thing, I stuck around…
Very early on in Monster Hunter Wilds, you’re going to have to figure out how to defeat Lala Barina, a monster that looks and fights much differently from what you’ve faced so far. Soon after you enter the Scarlet Forest, you’ll notice something is amiss with the water—it’s bright red. This is due to the…
Monster Hunter Wilds’ Oilwell Basin is the game’s fire area, and after things go into disarray you’re faced with the terrifying explosive gorilla Ajarakan, which surely has to be the area’s Apex monster, right?
