Stalker 2 is out, and while I’m not exactly a big Stalker-head like our own Joshua Wolens, who gave it a 83 in his Stalker 2 review, I do know one thing about it through sheer cultural osmosis. The Stalker games are kind of jank, sometimes—and it’s a part of their character, like how a…
Dear reader, I want to entreat you to read the rest of this spotlight with an open mind. I have a bit of a history on this site for advocating for the underdog—or the horndog, one might say. I do this because I think it’s funnier to try and empathise with the abyss than it…
If you find the concept of MSI’s Claw alluring but aren’t very impressed with its power and software, the new Claw 7 AI and Claw 8 AI might be worth a look, even with the annoying AI namedrop in there.

I knew I’d be spending a good chunk of my time in Two Point Museum decorating, but nothing could have prepared me for how invested I’d become in carefully curating every floor tile, wall panel, and set dressing item to make the exhibitions I plucked from faraway lands really pop. Sure, it’s a management sim…
I’ve never needed much story from Monster Hunter. Each game’s plot follows a predictable pattern: Something is upsetting the ecology, and you need to battle a few dozen frenzied lizards until you and the Hunter’s Guild uncover what never-before-seen creature is responsible for the turmoil.
