Big Walk is the most fun I’ve had in a co-op game all year, perhaps for a few years; it’s certainly at the top of my list for greatest games to play with friends. I’m not the only one who thinks that, just ask about anyone on the PC Gamer team or the other million…
Eternal Summer Eternal Summer Eternal Summer Eternal Summer However, the surrealist elements are turned up. You’ll be playing Redrick Roost, an inmate turned arson investigator—and instead of Kim Kitsuragi, you’ll be getting “an opiate-dependent mathematician, Dr Astrid Albers, and a nunchaku-wielding truth-activist, the district bus driver Rico.” God. We’re so goddamn back. The major point…
Only a month out from the launch of the Steam Frame, an OLED version is already the talk of the town. Moreover, us humans seem to have very short memories, as while this amounts to nothing more than a couple of lines in the Steam Frame source code—perhaps nothing more than someone at Valve messing…
Intel graphics don’t get much screen time against the weight of AMD and Nvidia, but say what you want about Arc GPUs, they just keep on improving. This is clear enough from the latest driver, the release notes for which claim some significant performance improvements in certain games. The release notes for WHQL driver 32.0.101.9150…
League of Legends Classic was Riot’s attempt to capitalise on nostalgia for vintage-era LoL. It stripped away most of the champions and kits introduced since 2013, reverted to an older version of the Summoner’s Rift map, and promised to roll out “new” old Champions at a faster clip than in the olden days.

The complaints allege that ChatGPT has “coached” users to…
Despite some big changes happening with Overwatch lately, former game director Jeff Kaplan hasn’t touched it since the year he left Blizzard. In fact, he actively avoids the game in every way he can, he told GameSpot in a recent interview. Before Overwatch, Kaplan rose through the ranks on the World of Warcraft team, starting…
I got off to a bit of an awkward start with Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse when it first booted to a black screen. A few minutes of troubleshooting later, I deduced that the game wouldn’t display on a monitor with its refresh rate set higher than 120 Hz. Easily solved, but I kept thinking of that…
More radical changes beyond just giving the characters necks are coming to Garry’s Mod successor s&box. Facepunch Studios’ game creation platform’s launch in April was met with a swarm of negative reviews, complaints of AI slop filling its user-generated game collection, and swiftly plummeting user numbers. Now creator Garry Newman is reversing course on some…
Frank Klepacki has composed a lot of great game music over the years—in fact, he’s responsible for the soundtrack in Eye of the Beholder 2, one of the best dungeon crawlers of all time. At heart, though, Klepacki is a real-time strategy guy—and he takes real issue with claims that the genre is dead. There’s…
