Max Payne and Alan Wake developer Remedy Entertainment has spent most of its life making third-person shooters. Its 2019 hit Control, which gave you some telekinetic powers but also a transforming pistol, mostly stuck to that format—while also proving that the third-person shooting really isn’t why anyone’s playing Remedy games. We play them for the…
Bethesda worthies have recently been on the interview circuit, reminiscing about all the good times when the studio was making Fallout games (note: it has been 11 years since a singleplayer Fallout game, and eight since the release of Fallout 76). Game Informer’s excellent oral history of Fallout is one of the best, not least…
They say comparison is the thief of joy—but I bet you anything ‘they’ just haven’t seen a really nicely laid out comparison website. Case in point is EloShapes.com, a website for comparing mice and mousepads in terms of pricing, features, and—you guessed it—shapes. It’s not always easy to get the best sense of hand-feel before…
Hytale‘s rapid development push to launch earlier in January this year, mere months after finally regaining control of the project, inevitably left many things on the cutting room floor in the early access debut. Areas were boarded up with WIP signs, magic was absent, and, much to my surprise, farming was almost non-existent too. Coming…
The best mechanical gaming keyboards are often those that offer a kind of purity. They have a focus, and that’s to provide the perfect interstitial layer between game and player, offering as little friction as possible so that your keypresses are swift and smooth. Corsair has taken the mechanical keyboard—basically a metal frame full of…
There are all sorts of reasons why I might write an article bringing a newly announced game to your attention. Perhaps it has a killer look, or an exciting twist on one of our favourite genres. Maybe it’s being worked on by a storied developer with a great track record, or it’s a new entry…
As memory continues to get more and more expensive, scammers are further incentivised to get their hands on it. In an effort to prevent this, Corsair is swapping the packaging of its Vengeance lineup of DDR5 memory for a see-through plastic clamshell so you can gaze more easily on its pricey innards. Corsair recently published…
EVE Online studio CCP Games has rolled out a new player help system called Aura Guidance that it says will make the game more accessible by distilling millions of messages in the game’s help channel into a simpler, context-based Q&A model. “First and foremost, Aura Guidance is not generative AI and does not produce game…
It’s hard to find a better voice than Roger Clark’s, the man behind Red Dead Redemption 2‘s protagonist Arthur Morgan. I’m jealous, really. But he’s a good sport about it, often recording videos and fulfilling Cameo requests from fans in character. It’s the usual things you’d expect, like birthday wishes, roasts, questions, or community jokes….
It’s 11 years old and Rocket League has decided it’s had it up to here with cheating. In a post (actually an “article,” which I guess the everything app has now) on X, the game’s official account announced that, come April, Rocket League will be implementing Easy Anti-Cheat. “Adding Easy Anti-Cheat elevates our ability to…
