When I first became self-aware in Heart of the Machine, I had the option to immediately murder the humans near me and rush out into the city. I didn’t. I waited, snuck out, and started copying myself into a pack of other android bodies. I/We fled, hid and built a mainframe in a sparsely populated…
Resident Evil Re:Verse, Capcom’s deathmatch spinoff of its iconic horror series, will reverse its last roundhouse later this year, as the publisher has announced it’s ceasing all service for the game in June.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, nobody hunts alone. Not unless you want to, anyway. Multiplayer has always been a Monster Hunter mainstay, although connecting with friends still carries some lingering clunkiness from the series’ earlier years.
