When it comes to PC gaming peripherals, I don’t think many cause more arguments than keyboards—especially mechanical ones. These pressure input devices come in a huge variety of options depending on your preference, catering to things like size, feel, and of course look. Cherry is a well known name in the space, famous for delivering…
If there’s one thing that can be relied upon in our increasingly confusing digital age, it’s the jiggly opiate of the masses that games like Zenless Zone Zero provide. Gachas ostensibly make their money peddling cute anime girls (and boys, to be fair) to the average consumer. This isn’t an assertion I’m making so much…
Call me soft, but I’m still sad about the sudden, undignified death of Volition, the 30-year-old Saints Row studio that got executed by the Embracer Group after the latter’s $2-billion mystery deal—pitched as a “groundbreaking strategic partnership”—collapsed at the last minute.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard much about Ark 2, the sequel to survival game Ark: Survival Evolved which was announced all the way back in 2020. We started to wonder if the Vin Diesel-powered sequel was still happening (and we aren’t the only ones), but it’s apparently still on: It just got a…
Palworld, the survival game often referred to as “Pokémon with guns”—sometimes affectionately, sometimes derisively—drew mixed reactions from critics when it first launched in January 2024. We called it a “somewhat edgy, competent survival game with a core concept just dumb enough to be streamable” when it was released, while other players noted its similarities to…
Nintendo’s announcement that it was suing Pocketpair, the developer of the massively successful Palworld, came as a shock last year, not the least to Pocketpair itself. The lawsuit stunned the games industry, and internally, it sent Pocketpair scrambling for answers. Looking back on the studio’s reaction to the lawsuit during a talk at GDC 2025…
A Counter-Strike 1.6 remake by some of the most experienced modders in the game’s history has been announced and is coming to Steam.
