After my Baldur’s Gate 3 bonanza in August and September, I was Baldur’s Gate 3 hungover, and needed the videogame equivalent of a Full English Breakfast to fill the Baldur’s Gate 3-shaped hole in my being. I turned to Larian’s previous RPG hit, Divinity: Original Sin 2. I’d known I had to give our 2017…
Last month, I got way too invested in a Mountain Dew. I searched multiple websites trying to get it delivered to my apartment, annoyed store clerks with questions about unstocked Dew they might have sitting “in the back,” recruited friends to scout out Walmart locations, and became an expert on the official online Dew tracker….
Alan Wake 2’s captured the imagination of the gaming public for a lot of reasons—it’s downright gorgeous, but it also has Remedy’s penchant for blending genres, deftly mixing comedy and horror. This habit hits a high-point with Herald of Darkness, an in-game track so popular it was performed live at The Game Awards this year….
The Quersus Icos 1.1 is a bit of an odd beast. Upon looking at the promotional pictures on the website I was struck by two things: Firstly, despite its striking good looks and Darth Vader vibes it didn’t appear to have a whole lot of cushioning, so I wondered how comfortable it would be once…
You can always expect Baldur’s Gate 3 to deliver, even when what it’s delivering is as mundane as patch notes. Earlier today, Larian launched Hotfix #15 for its world-beating fantasy RPG, and the accompanying Steam announcement is gripping before we even get to the patch notes. “Have you found some characters’ faces turning into stretched…
Geometry Dash is a cheap and cheerful rhythm-based platformer that originally launched on Steam in December 2014. It recently celebrated its 10-year-anniversary (the game released on mobile devices the year before), which would normally see fans and developers reflecting fondly on a well-made game. But turns out developer RobTop Games had far more in store,…
You aren’t the only one hopelessly wondering where Hodari is in Palia, don’t worry. Kilima Village’s eligible single dad miner doesn’t hang out in town for very long each day so he’s tough to track down when you need to turn in quests to him. The really short answer is that if you can’t find…
Once upon a time, it was inconceivable that laptops could be used for any kind of meaningful gaming beyond point-and-click adventures and games whose polygon counts are about on par with LEGO. That’s changed over the years, in large part thanks to the efforts of graphics honchos Nvidia who have been endowing laptops with powerful…
When the developers of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora called its unobtanium graphics preset “extremely difficult to run on currently available hardware”, I could only see that as a challenge. But not so much a challenge for me, for my poor test bench’s AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX. I have the goods—a test bench with a…
Thanks to its extensive new player support and its innovative story mode, Street Fighter 6 was the best fighting game of the year. For more awards, head to the Game of the Year 2023 hub. Tyler Wilde, Executive Editor: Thanks to the deeper-than-usual tutorials and practice modes, I finally understand Street Fighter basics that have…
