Of all Ubisoft’s follies, Skull and Bones feels like one of the most significant—a game that took the best parts of Assassin’s Creed 3 and Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, and just stuck them in a dodgy live service treadmill. It took a decade to make, seemed to be perpetually delayed, and just kept changing….

Most quests in Arc Raiders at least give you a strong idea of where to start searching to complete them. At first glance, Keeping an Eye Out, a new quest in the Shrouded Sky update, seems that way too, since it sends you to the collapsed highway near the Barren Clearing on Blue Gate. The…

When you read the words “From legendary developers Steve Ellis and David Doak” you could be forgiven for assuming that the next words would be “comes a new FPS”. Ellis and Doak were among Free Radical Design’s co-founders, giving us the excellent TimeSplitters series, and nearly Star Wars: Battlefront 3, before it was canned and…

Here’s a challenge. Get rid of the screen door effect from VR headsets without resorting to uber high-res display panels. Solution? Use CRTs. Yes, really. At least, that’s one of the main benefits an enterprising YouTuber, dooglehead, discovered when he cooked up a homebrew VR headset using actual CRTs. Now, at this stage you’re probably…

Stable Housing, one of the new quests in Arc Raiders‘ Shrouded Sky update, once again sends us into the deathtrap that is Stella Montis. This time, it’s your job to open a safe in the Security Bridge for Tian Wen. Given you have permission to peek inside the safe, you wouldn’t think it would be…

Garden Horizons codes are the fastest way to get ahold of Shillings and Seed Packs without having to work the day away in-game. If you’re desperate for some new crops without having to spend your hard-earned money, then these codes can save you a lot of time. Occasionally, you might get a useful piece of…

Ah yes, identity verification, the potential bellwether of digital ID and our future dystopia—fun stuff. If one could sum up the current digital world, it would probably be encapsulated by incessant AI content and talk about said content, 6–7 brain rot, and identity verification. One place that now seemingly houses all three of these is…

Menace has the bones to become one of the best strategy and tactics games released in years. The new early access game from the creators of Battle Brothers, years in the making, blends campaign strategy and platoon tactics—think the quicker-playing fun of Jagged Alliance or X-Com with the best bits of tabletop and board wargames….

Airframe Ultra is looking to be the good kind of multiplayer game: No engagement hacking or battle passes⁠—you pay once, but it has lasting value and, depending on its success at launch, dev support. There’s no ranked play, but it’s still a game with competitive depth and mechanics to master. When I sat down to…

Blizzard surprised us the other day when it added a new Warlock class to Diablo 2 and brought the 2021 remaster of the classic ARPG to Steam. For some of Diablo 2’s original developers, the revitalization of their 26-year-old game is a happy testament to its longevity, but also means that, to some degree, they’re…
