What am I even on this planet for, really? To play videogames? To partake in an unhealthy diet? To make awkward sexual passes at the consenting partner of my choice? All of the above. I might as well dig my own grave and climb into it because there’s a robot on the brink of accomplishing…
One of the largest and best changes in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is the new combat system. It’s still faithful to the original’s lethality, but it’s no longer just about standing still waiting to counter an attack. But you know what I don’t love? The confusing removal of hidden blade combat and the ability…
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is the current #40 on the PC Gamer Top 100 and one of my personal favourite RPGs of all time. Somehow, though, it does have its detractors. Most notably, a vocal contingent who felt that the game’s ending didn’t live up to their expectations (spoilers for Deadfire follow). Deadfire’s plot…
“Spiderweb Software’s latest crappy-looking RPG is now live,” I wrote about Queen’s Wish: The Conqueror back in 2019. Rude? No, it was entirely affectionate: Spiderweb, a husband-and-wife team of Jeff Vogel and Mariann Krizsan, makes games that look like they come from the Gold Box era but have depth and flexibility that make most modern…
As I said in my Razer Kiyo V2 X review, the 1440p webcam market is almost as niche as the 4K one, and that’s almost entirely because of its price point. With the likes of the Emeet Pixy regularly sitting at the $90-100 mark, the $100 Kiyo V2 X really struggles to justify itself, and…
The original Steam Deck launched with an LCD screen back in 2022. Four years later, and Valve is apparently sunsetting replacement parts for this older model. A Redditor reached out to iFixIt to query the availability of a replacement battery for their LCD Steam Deck. Unfortunately, iFixIt responded that it was looking “less and less…
My train spins through the air after launching off a skyscraper-high vertical ramp, swiftly twisting onto another bolt-upright bit of track, my view smothered with speed lines, Japanese onomatopoeia, and sparks as enthusiastic allies yell encouragement. A gorgeous vista stretches out below me, Japan’s countryside filled with cherry blossom trees and bright blue water. Need…
AI is controversial for… well, any number of reasons—but particularly in game development, with studios even as beloved as Larian having to carefully walk back casual experimentations with the technology, and many developers turning their noses squarely up. I’m not exactly a fan myself, but I’ll cop that there are some mundane, often-times very boring…
Exciting news: it is officially Garrett summer. Just recently, Nightdive announced it’s been cooking a Thief remaster at the PC Gaming Show, bringing modern resolutions, controller support, and myriad other modcons to the venerable 1998 stealth game. But if that’s not enough for you—or you just believe the sacred brooks no improvement—the original game is…
