It’s been a bad few years. Floods, hurricanes, an increasingly soup-brained and geriatric ruling class. The summers are too hot, the winters are too hot. An exciting but exhausting time to be alive, all in all. Hardly a surprise, then, that I’ve been retreating more than ever to my comfort game of choice: Hitman 3….

The game plan is gobble gobble. One of Marvel Rivals’ most lovable heroes is a support named Jeff the Land Shark, an apparent fixture of the West Coast Avengers who, in Rivals, spends his days spitting healing waters at his friends and lobbing the occasional water bullet at a baddie.

At time of writing, there are currently more than 300,000 people playing Marvel Rivals on Steam alone. Some of those players, however, have…
You know NetEase has managed to make a competent hero shooter in Marvel Rivals when the number one complaint among players feels like a repeat of 2016 Overwatch discourse: Not enough players are picking healers, and teams are suffering for it. Less than a day after launch, the Marvel Rivals subreddit is abuzz with discussion…
Grinding Gear Games warned us that Path of Exile 2‘s early access launch might be rocky. The developer hadn’t expected more than a million players, but pre-sales of the action RPG surpassed that. “There are probably going to be some queues during the launch weekend,” said game director Jonathan Rogers. “Before the launch, when we…
