Not to be left out of creature catching convention, Palworld does have rarer, more powerful variants that Pokémon players will likely find themselves calling “shiny Pals” out of habit. Officially Palworld calls shinies Lucky Pals instead. You could easily assume otherwise, though, because Lucky Pals literally sparkle while they walk around with a loud, shimmering…
Like a derelict ship drifting toward a jagged outcropping of rocks, Ubisoft’s long-awaited game of high-seas piracy Skull and Bones is, slowly but surely, drawing ever closer. The launch date of February 16 is still holding water, and today Ubisoft announced that before it arrives, an open beta will give one and all a chance…
Owlcat Games has revealed a pair of cosmetic items that are free for all Rogue Trader players until February 1. The “Exclusive Rogue Trader Mask” and “Magnificent Rogue Trader Cloak” will presumably be locked in the Disney Vault (or the Games Workshop Vault, I guess) following this brief window. If I’m being honest, they don’t…
We’re nowhere close to knowing what 2024’s Game of the Year will be, but that won’t stop us from guessing which ones will thrive come awards season. It’s a competitive year with Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC on its way, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Stalker 2, and an Indiana Jones game that could surprise…
I’m not a huge fan of running around in the dark in open world games. If a survival game has a feature that lets me skip or fast-forward through nighttime by sleeping in a bed, I’ll hit the sheets every evening when the sun goes down and wake up the next morning like the night…
A funny thing happened to me in Enshrouded (the other early breakout game of 2024) last night, and from that experience I have a little bit of advice for others: If you’re planning to dig a hole to see how far down you can go, be sure to bring along an extra pickaxe or two…
Yeah, I know, there have already been a couple big co-op survival games released in just the past week, the record-smashing monster-managing Palworld and sprawling fantasy RPG Enshrouded. But there’s always room for one more, isn’t there? This one isn’t taking its cues from Pokémon or using Valheim and Zelda as an inspiration: co-op survival…
I had some big gaming plans for the holiday break this year: I was finally going to start a second playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2, build a new city in Farthest Frontier, and grab some friends to dive into Lethal Company. I didn’t do any of that. Instead, I just played poker-inspired deckbuilder Balatro….
I played Adventure Quest back when it came out in—2002? God, that can’t be right. Give me a second, I need to lean on something and take some deep breaths. Okay—in case you missed that particular boat, I need to explain to you how much of a phenomenon Adventure Quest actually was. While it never…
Time was, the walls between console and PC games were hard and fast. PC had its strategy games and CRPGs, PlayStation had its Japanese bangers, Nintendo had Mario and Zelda, and Xbox had Blinx: The Time Sweeper (all the other companies were very jealous). But these days, not counting Nintendo, everything is everywhere. And everything…
