It hurts to say it, but Deus Ex seems deader than Beth DuClare right now. While I hope the once and future king of immersive sims won’t stay down for long, the layoffs at Eidos Montreal and cancellation of an upcoming DX project have made the series’ future seem bleaker than ever. But according to…
A new report by IGN into the wider topic of industry layoffs, which are worse than they’ve ever been, contains a fascinating insight about one of last year’s less-successful AAA titles. Immortals of Aveum was the debut title from Ascendant Studios, released on Steam and consoles in August 2022, came out to mixed reviews and…
Like I pointed out at the end of last year, mid-January to early February was pretty damn big for gaming. Games like Palworld I did not see coming, while others like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Tekken 8 have been having their moments. One game I pointed out but didn’t particularly expect to…
This time last year, we got our first proper in-depth look at Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and I was pretty concerned. Now that I’ve gotten to play the final release for myself, my fears have unfortunately been confirmed. It’s a game that proves now what I said then: superheroes and live service is…
Grabbing as many Medals as you can in Helldivers 2 is a key aspect of progression, as you spend them in the Warbond store to unlock new weapons, armour sets, and Boosters to help tackle higher difficulties. If you also have the premium Warbond, you might have noticed that it requires an astronomical sum in…
Hands up if you remember PCs from the late 1990s or early 2000s? They all had a very distinctive feel to them, as chassis design was generally derivative, and everything computer-related had to be curved in some way. Logitech, it would seems, has decided that the time is ripe to revisit this era and produced…
To accompany the official launch of GLAAD Gaming, the organisation has released its first report on the state of LGBTQ+ gamers in the industry—and it could banish some common assumptions made by the public at-large. Founded in 1985 during the AIDS epidemic, GLAAD targeted defamatory coverage and was able to shift the editorial policy of…
If you’ve ever watched a game trailer in Europe, you’ve almost certainly heard Richard Wells’ voice. He is, in his own words, “the guy who says ‘PEGI 18’ on all of your video games,” which is to say he’s the smooth baritone that lets you know a game’s age rating right before its trailer plays;…
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios has quickly rolled back a small patch— intended to smooth out server issues—after it was causing a noticeable performance drop on PC. Patch 01.000.005 was pushed out on February 12, aiming to fix issues which were “mostly caused by having so many players in the game and server capacity…
There was a time in my early teenagehood where I was so entrenched in anime and JRPG brain rot that I convinced myself I was talented enough to make a game all of my own. That never happened, of course, but the one thing I do remember from that time was how much fun I…
