If there’s one thing that’s become daunting about the modern RPG, it’s the ballooning time investment. There’s no better example than the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, a reimagining of a classic that has stretched itself out between three entire fully-fledged games. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation just had its release date dropped alongside a 10-minute…

PUBG remains one of Steam’s most-played games, which makes it all the more surprising that PUBG Studios and publisher Krafton haven’t made more attempts to milk it over the years. PUBG: DED NET might be the biggest yank of the udder to date though, revealing an entirely new spin-off roguelite FPS set in the ’90s….

There are few things as exciting as the prospect of a new MMO. And when that new MMO is from ArenaNet, the studio that’s been focused on Guild Wars for more than two decades, the excitement is even greater. Having seen Guild Wars 3 in action at Gamescom, and spoken to game director Colin Johanson…

It’s like seeing an old friend: the clanking in the vents over your head, the way the ribbed tail passes over objects with a thunk-ka-thunk-ka-thunk-ka-thunk, the head-within-a-head, the screaming. You are here, you are back, you have been impaled through the abdomen and killed. I have played perhaps 20 minutes of Alien: Isolation 2 at…

Some players came away from Onimusha’s demo worried that the game would be too easy, a concern I’ve addressed in-depth based on my own time with the game. The good news is that I think the challenge level is well-judged for most people, and Onimusha does have a hard mode. For those who hoped to…

We’re long past the days of assuming the Steam Deck can comfortably handle the new big-budget action game of the moment, but here’s a nice surprise: Valve’s handheld is not a bad way to play Onimusha: Way of the Sword. It’s not quite the optimization darling that Resident Evil Requiem was earlier this year, but…

While I’ve bemoaned the expensive state of handheld gaming PCs at length, that doesn’t mean I find a cool concept model any less head-turning. Enter Acer’s latest Project DualPlay creation: a handheld gaming PC with a flippable screen that can turn into a laptop. The Project DualPlay Mini was shown off on-stage at IFA 2026,…

Picture this: I am emerging from a pile of paper, red string, and thumbtacks, hair (I have hair in this scenario) dishevelled, breathless, yelling like I’ve well and truly lost it: I knew it! I knew we were getting a crossbow in Final Fantasy 14! I am then carted away by people in white coats…

We got confirmation a few weeks ago that former WWE and Marvel superhero star Dave Bautista would be taking on the role of Kratos in Amazon’s upcoming God of War series after an unfortunate accident that saw the previous lead, Ryan Hurst, have to step down from the role after tearing a bicep. Even before…

Generative AI in videogame development, despite the looming potentiality of a bubble popping, has continued to be a hot-button topic pelted at developers during earning calls, despite most of them recognising that there’s not much use for it beyond mundane busywork. Sure, it’s being used commonly, but rarely for the actual making of the videogame…
