Fatekeeper was always going to lure me in like a rodent drawn into a trap by a pungent piece of cheese. A grimdark first-person slasher with strong Dark Messiah: Might and Magic vibes in Unreal Engine 5? There are few games I’d wishlist faster. But Paraglacial’s glossy action-RPG shot even further up my most wanted…
The Back on Top quest in Arc Raiders is yet another of those tasks, like Greasing Her Palms, that sees you heading to multiple regions, in this case to find and mark some potential Raider outpost sites. There are four buildings you have to mark across Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, Spaceport, and The Blue Gate,…
Guild Wars released in 2005 and, even in the wake of the all-conquering World of Warcraft, offered an MMO experience that was distinct and freeform enough that, 20 years later, you’ll still find people saying it’s the best MMO around. OK, these days they’re probably more likely to be on-board with the superb sequel, but…
I credit/blame the 2010s rise of the pay-what-you-want videogame bundle for the fact my Steam library has over a thousand games in it. How many of those have I actually played? Please mind your own business. These days, videogame bundles and the sites you get them from are just part of the furniture: barely worth…
If I told you that yttrium had surged in price by nearly 1,500% this year, I bet your next question would be: “What the hell is yttrium and how do I pronounce it?” In the case of the latter, it’s “it-ree-uhm”, apparently. Yes, I had to look it up. In the case of the former,…
World of Warcraft: Midnight has a huge task ahead of it—fixing the arms race of AddOns by nixing combat-related mods (and thus having to provide its own offerings), installing Player Housing for the first time and, relevant to the problems I’m about to get into, overhauling the transmog system. For the uninitiated, transmog (sometimes called…
Tigger is the third character you’ll unlock in Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Wishblossom Ranch DLC. Before you can do that though, you need both Maximus and Khan unlocked, and Cruella and Snow White already moved in. You’ll also need access to Pixie Acres. Once you’re in this biome, you’ll immediately meet Tigger, but this won’t mark…
Levelling your horse in Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Wishblossom Ranch DLC is essential when it comes to progressing through the story, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Much like levelling your friendship with the villagers, you can do this by giving up to three gifts per day, spending quality time with them, or brushing and petting…
I like to think I know my stuff when it comes to roguelikes. I’ve been a huge fan of the genre for 15 years and covered it professionally for a decade. I’ve played everything from dungeon crawlers to deckbuilders to a slot machine in hell. I can usually wrap my head around a new one…
The Unexpected Initiative quest in Arc Raiders is the jankiest one I’ve played so far, partly because it asks you to acquire items you can also get in other locations, but still gives you specific location-based objectives you have to complete. For example, if you’ve got a water pump and fertiliser in your stash already,…
