The reign of Galaxy Princess Zorana was unhappy and unproductive. Fortunately, it was also short—ended in its infancy when Her Imperial Highness took a javelin straight through the skull in some kind of space-football game organised by the Pope. The people of her interplanetary demesne were presumably quite relieved, once they’d recovered from the initial…

Remember when Cyberpunk 2077 launched in late 2020, and it was basically the worst videogame ever? That’s obviously a gross overstatement made for comedic effect, but it was really bad—which is why the subsequent turnaround on it is so damn remarkable. We’ve said at least a couple times in the past that Cyberpunk’s redemption arc…

Can I make a confession? I love those clips of ‘AI-generated games’ people post on social media. Not because they’re good (they’re very bad), or because I love dumping water into the gaping maw of a data centre (I like it a moderate amount). I love them because it’s pure ‘the emperor has no clothes’…

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord’s War Sails expansion landed on the base game’s unassuming shores earlier today, adding fully simulated naval battles to Taleworld’s medieval RPG. Yet even if you’re not interested in crewing a longship with a raiding party to terrorise the coastlines, there’s plenty of reason to consider diving back into Mount &…

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally is one of our favourite handheld gaming PCs, and it would easily sit in the top spot if it weren’t for a couple of things: price, and the existence of SteamOS handhelds. On the latter front, though, Microsoft seems to be doing what it can to improve the new handheld-oriented…

Fallout Season 2 begins December 17, and we’re so excited it feels like we’ve been huffing Jet. We’re going to Vegas, baby: the location of the best Fallout RPG (and one of the best classic RPGs of all time), and we’re ready to see what Sin City looks like 20 years after the events of…

I won’t lie, I haven’t really paid much attention to attachments in Arc Raiders up until now. I’d never equip them until my stash was full and I needed to free up space, and even then, I’d just slap them on whatever gun would accept them, all willy-nilly. It was a means to an end,…

Overwatch 2‘s 45th hero is almost here but you don’t need to wait until the next full moon (or, more accurately, Season 20’s release date) to play her. Thanks to Vendetta’s hero trial, you can put her kit to the test almost two weeks early. Vendetta, also known as La Lupa, is one of the…

Just one more heave, and I reckon Sisyphus will finally get that rock to the top of the mountain. Beyond Good and Evil 2—a videogame that I first got excited for when I was 14 years old (I am now 32)—inexplicably continues development. Not only that, but its team is hiring (via Eurogamer). If you…

Long defunct game developer Troika is best known today for the dark roleplaying masterpiece/dropped bag of spanners Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. But the year before Bloodlines simultaneously spelled doom and immortality for the studio, Troika released The Temple of Elemental Evil, a similarly ambitious and similarly buggy adaptation of the Dungeon & Dragons scenario…
