I was playing Death Stranding 2: On the Beach last night and accidentally captured what might be the most miserable situation I’ve ever put Sam Porter Bridges in: Fording a rough river, during a sandstorm, with 150kg of cargo on his back, while lightning strikes the water he’s currently in. Also, he has to pee….
Judging from player interest in the WoW: Forever beta, it seems like Blizzard’s got a good start at channeling nostalgia into its retirement home for aging MMO millennials. But there’s only one thing that’ll determine if it’s a successful rebottling of the old lightning, and that’ll be whether or not I can find myself shuffled…
One of media’s god-given powers is to coin phrases, one of our last remaining superpowers. Inspired by this post from Kieron Gillen, I wanted to take a moment to recall our noble-but-failed attempt to rename MOBAs (a miserable term that describes every game and no game) more than a decade ago. I am so out…
I really dislike most of the “battlestation” stuff I see online—if you’re not familiar with the term, I it’s associated with people posting pictures of their PC gaming rigs.

Actually, there are several more anticipated cozy games right at the end of this month (Nivalis Nights and Songs of Glimmerwick) so I’m going to have to reassess the…
Four games I wishlisted on Steam out of last weekend’s PC Gaming Show: Tenebris Somnia – Genre-mixed horror that alternates between 2D retro art and live action, out next month. Wane – My favorite from the show, a roguelike tactics game with an art style that somehow all at once looks like Dishonored, a Remedy…
Lotta discourse going on about Wolverine lately, and I’ll be frank: The problem isn’t that they made a merely adequate Wolverine game. The problem is that they aren’t greenlighting a Xavier Institute for Higher Learning management sim. Someone ring the Two Point Museum people, they’d be perfect.
Lauren has a really nice “to-play” queue in her Steam library. Does anyone else have a running notes app checklist on their phone that they’ve carried across at least one upgrade? How do you keep track of upcoming games you want to play? (Image credit: Future)
