Bloodborne on PC may still be the fevered dream of madmen, though some emulation warlocks have recently made strides bringing the nightmare to gaming’s liquid-cooled Mensis cage. In any case, numerous game developers have strived to fill the PC’s Yharnam-shaped game with their own derivations of FromSoft’s Victorian gothic masterpiece. Some of these are fun,…
Cooperative zombie survival sim No More Room in Hell 2 has witnessed one of the more dramatic early access developments of the last few years. Launching into a hostile reception that resulted in a Mostly Negative rating on Steam, developer Torn Banner has clawed its way back to a Mixed rating through 2025, albeit at…
Few actually expected last year’s Game Awards to close with anything as earth-shattering as Half-Life 3, but if that kind of huge announcement were going to happen during the show, that’s when it would. Instead, Geoff Keighley cued up a trailer for an unknown hero shooter called Highguard. It didn’t go great. The social media…
Between the Arknights: Endfield Twitch Drops and a batch of pre-registration freebies, I’m having an easier time with the RPG’s whole “rebuilding society” thing than I thought I would. Couple that with a few of the other launch bonuses trickling in, and I may be on my way to making Talos-II a functional society. If…
With every new anime gacha game release—especially the ones chasing after Genshin Impact’s success—you can expect to see a flood of character tier lists and build guides. But Arknights: Endfield, which just came out this week, isn’t your typical anime gacha game. For a lot of players, it’s actually a surprisingly robust factory builder with…
Between the new season of the Fallout show, New Vegas’ 15th birthday, Fallout 4’s 10th anniversary, and our interview series celebrating all of the above (complete with print cover story!), I’ve been in a bit of a Fallout mood. I smashed through Fallout 3 in a week and change over Christmas, I’m getting asymptotically close…
Medieval combat sim Half Sword made a big, bloody splash at Next Fest last year when its tech playtest became the most popular demo on Steam. The physics-based melee brawler is equal parts gore and clumsiness as players face off—and try to slash each other’s faces off—with wildly-swung swords and axes and spears. Players loved…

I’m not entirely confident that Mass Effect 5 will ever see the light of day. Between the Andromeda debacle, the dismantling of BioWare after Dragon Age: The Veilguard missed whatever expectations EA had for it, and the upcoming acquisition of EA by Saudi Arabia, the environment just doesn’t seem entirely conducive to another big sexy…
Last week, creator of the popular paid-access Cyberpunk 2077 R.E.A.L. VR mod Luke Ross found himself at the center of a growing controversy after receiving a DMCA notice from Cyberpunk developer CD Projekt, which claimed the modder was profiting from its IP. The studio had earlier requested that Ross make the mod free to download,…
