The banners in Neverness to Everness follow most of the usual rules established by its gacha forefathers, but it has major differences in a few important areas and some changes are more welcome than others. To get you up to speed, I’ve explained every gacha system and currency used in NTE below, along with what…
I believe that Doomguy, the protagonist of seminal FPS series Doom, may have a more whimsical reputation than he deserves. The culprit? His belly, which is readily visible in Don Punchatz’s cover art for the 1993 classic. Doomguy did not go into battle wearing a jaunty little cutoff tee, nor did he have a uniform…
Days before committing the world historic sin of putting quest markers into The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, modder RPGKing117 already earned himself a pardon: He created a mod that lets you play The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind on the in-game Pip-Boy and computer terminals of Fallout 4. RPGKing117 has a nice demonstration of the mod…
Blood Vial, a self-described “retro-inspired micro-FPS” that hit Steam earlier this week, is a lot like Splatoon—except instead of starring charming squid teens swimming through the ink spread by their paintguns, you play as a leaky, gun-toting vampire diving through the freshly-spilled gore of murderous pseudo-Catholics on a blood-soaked quest for revenge. So, really, it’s…
Valve has announced that the next wave of Steam Controllers will only be purchasable through a reservation system similar to the one used early in the Steam Deck’s life cycle. The announcement post does not specify when, exactly, this next round of controllers will make it into customers’ hands, but reservations are set to open…
I was really surprised when I read today that Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is in development, because the first game was such a notorious mess—until I realized I was confusing it with the much older Aliens: Colonial Marines (the concept of time has pretty much slipped from my grasp at this point), and that Aliens:…
After around a year and a half in early access, Blindfire—a multiplayer FPS whose main thing is that its arenas are all incredibly dark, forcing you to rely on your other senses (and tech, naturally) to catch enemies—got its full release. Which was something of a bittersweet event for its devs at Double Eleven, who…
Mouse pads are admittedly something I don’t tend to think about too much. If it feels good under the palm and doesn’t become a hindrance to my movement, I’ll continue using it. But, alas, I’m not a pro, and it turns out they get through some of the best gaming mouse pads like an actual…
Prokop Jirsa didn’t plan for any of this. “There was no 10-year plan to become the lead designer or director,” says the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 lead designer and one of two recently-anointed creative directors at the game’s maker, Warhorse Studios. “Never. I just really like making games and playing games… When I joined the…
It’s been a quarter of a century since I kicked up a ruckus in the Colony, the setting of Gothic, the classic eurojank RPG that would go on to inspire CD Projekt to develop The Witcher. It’s been so long my bones feel creaky just thinking about it. This might also explain why my first…
