It sure is a good time to be a fan of ye-olde FPS Blood. Following Nightdive’s release of its second overhaul of Monolith’s debut gunfest, the developer has been quietly updating it with enhanced versions of some of the shooter’s best mods. The first of these arrived in January, in the form of Marrow: Episode…
I’ve been intrigued by oceanic survival sim The Last Caretaker since it was announced, but I have also been a little confused by its tone. Is it a melancholy adventure about being the last sentient being on an abandoned Earth, an optimistic sci-fi story about ensuring the long-term survival of the human race by growing…
Blight: Survival, the third person hack ‘n’ slash where you carve up zombies in brutal medieval combat, is one of the most anticipated games on Steam. In fact, it recently surpassed 1.5 million wishlists, with only Subnautica 2, Deadlock, Light no Fire and Forza Horizon 6 having more. Yet with such anticipation comes a lot…
Death Stranding 2‘s PC launch on Thursday may have been overshadowed just a bit by Crimson Desert, but as I wrote in my review, it’s a great game, whether you’re in it for the Hideo Kojima story or the delivery sim sandbox. Folks who especially love the latter, though, like PC Gamer’s Morgan Park, almost…
One of the more common complaints you’re likely to hear about Crimson Desert are to do with its controls, which some folks just don’t care for. Folks like, for instance, PC Gamer’s Rory Norris, who called the game’s control scheme “bafflingly convoluted.” Or Morgan Park, who said the game’s “true boss battle is wrangling its…
Kirsten Dunst has been signed up for the Minecraft Movie sequel, which currently doesn’t have a title, as the player avatar Alex. Alex is one of the default avatars in the game, is female, and has red hair: so Mary Jane feels like a pretty good fit. Dunst is of course known for many more…
The ways in which AI has made our lives worse in the last few years feels, on some level, personal. The RAMpocalypse and Nvidia’s pivot to AI datacenters have made PC gaming a dramatically less affordable hobby. Google is rewriting journalists’ headlines to make them worse while also scraping our work into “AI overviews” that…
Silksong contains remnants of all sorts of cut content, unfinished fragments of a game that never was. One of the things left out was an alternate version of the Last Judge fight that would’ve appeared in the game’s secret third act. YouTube user Kilroy Was Here tracked down the snippets of leftover code for the…
Yesterday, Slay the Spire 2 developer Mega Crit pushed its “first BIG post-launch patch” to the game’s opt-in beta branch, giving players a chance to test the update’s changes ahead of their eventual implementation on the main branch. The beta patch brought “a huge balance pass,” retuning enemies, artifacts, and both the costs and effects…
We warned you last week that the window was closing on OpenTTD, the open source remake of Transport Tycoon Deluxe that was, until quite recently—we warned you, bro—available for free on Steam and GOG. The reason, the OpenTTD team explained, was the imminent return of the real Transport Tycoon Deluxe, the 1995 business sim developed…
