Hopefully, that patch won’t be too much longer. One issue that should improve as a result of this patch is the Cities: Skylines…
The next major Sims 4 DLC has been revealed, and this expansion pack is giving me serious whiplash. The For Rent expansion brings the long-requested ability to build true multi-family lots in The Sims 4, which I am absolutely psyched for—though the grim realities of deadly mold and housing anxiety are also along for the…
Finding the Ghost House safe code in RoboCop: Rogue City is one of the first puzzling encounters you’ll hit in the game. Up until this point, you will have mainly spent your time neutralising perps with extreme prejudice—by which I mean hurling criminals at each other—so it might be a bit of a shock to…

It’s been the better part of a year since the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Edrtree expansion was announced, and we’ve heard nothing of note about it since. The most recent financial report out of FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa brings both good news and bad on that front, which can be summed up in a…

Silent Hill: Ascension is many things. It’s an episodic drama. It lets you vote on outcomes, but only if you have a season pass. It is, technically, a new Silent Hill entry.
