Twilight Oracle is a point-and-click adventure game in a style so traditional that it’s been unchanged since Sierra On-Line was on top of the world, and it’s aimed at an audience that already knows its mechanics so well they disappear into the lovely pixel-art background.

PC gamers have already made two early access survival games into hits this year: Palworld and Enshrouded. Will we do it a third time when Nightingale releases in late February? I think it’s possible—our hunger for games in which you craft stuff and try not to die is bottomless. There’s lots to look forward to…
If it doesn’t make you say “what the fuck” out loud is it even a Death Stranding trailer? The marketing for the original Death Stranding was a masterclass in intriguing nonsense that everyone wanted to talk about even though we did not understand a lick of it.

Remember the RTX 3080? Of course you do. While it’s easy to get caught up in the latest 40-series GPU releases, the RTX 3080 still makes for a great gaming card. It wasn’t particularly heat-prone, yet some of the third-party cards came with very large coolers to push it to the maximum. None, however, is…
Canadian programmer Gary Bowser was charged with severe fines and jail time after a Nintendo lawsuit accused him of “conspiracy to circumvent technological measures and to traffic in circumvention devices”—piracy, to unspool the legal speech—in 2020. Bowser was a member of Team-Xecuter, a group of hackers who had facilitated the use of various ROMs (read…
The Pokémon-with-guns-and-forced-labor survival game Palworld looks like the sort of thing that would be very enjoyable on a mobile device: On your morning commute, during a walk in the park, or maybe just sitting outside in your garden, if you happen to live someplace that isn’t currently drenched in snow and cold.
