I’ve only spent a brief few hours with Obsidian’s RPG/fish-person-friend simulator Avowed so far, but I’m enjoying my time with it. What I haven’t been enjoying is the occasional frame rate dip, along with a general twitchiness our Nick highlighted in his performance analysis. However, it turns out there’s actually a simple tweak that enables…
Prologue: Go Wayback! is probably one of the hardest survival games I’ve played in a while, but don’t let the supposed difficulty put you off giving the survival roguelike a go.

Fallout 76 has become another feather in Bethesda’s cap, assisted by the fact that it’s the game best-positioned to take advantage of the popularity of Amazon’s fantastic Fallout TV show, and thanks to the cavalcade of transformative free updates.

That feeling a customer support line is deliberately designed to keep you hanging in the hope that you’ll just go away. We’ve all had it, right?

The latest update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 added an expensive crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but that’s not the only ’90s reference in the update. (Yes, I know the original comic is from the ’80s, but the CoD versions are clearly based on the movies/cartoon, work with me here.) As…
After its rough launch, Payday 3 hasn’t been bringing in the cash its developer might’ve hoped for, with Starbreeze reporting sales of $7.7 million in its 2024 financial year, down from $44.5 million in its launch year of 2023. To put that in perspective, the very much aged Payday 2 brought in $3.9 million in…
Funcom recently announced that Dune: Awakening will release on May 20, and alongside that news, the publisher wants you to know that sandworms are independent annelids that obey their own rules and don’t need you to decide when and where they go places or what they do when they get there.
