Arguably, the best part of any Larian game is its companions, each bringing a unique story and relationships that intertwine with the other friendly faces and the main story.

There seems to be no cap on how successful Arc Raiders can become. From the very start, it broke expectations by reaching over 100,000 playing within 30 minutes of the game launching and has since gone on quite the run, with the latest milestone hitting 12 million players worldwide. “Reaching 12 million downloads is a…
Dwarf Fortress rocketed out of the gates in 2026 with, even by its own bonkers patch note standards, one of the saddest six-word stories ever told: “Mothers no longer seek ghostly babies.” This is a game that perhaps only Crusader Kings can match for patch note madness, and it turns out that the above update…

It’s only been a year since Amistech released its notoriously challenging Finnish life sim, My Summer Car. After nearly a decade of early access, it finally hit 1.0 in January 2025.

Donald Trump, sometime reality TV star and now real-world President of these United States, has announced he will prevent AI companies with huge data centers and commensurately massive electricity demands from forcing up utility bills for consumers. “I never want Americans to pay higher Electricity bills because of Data Centers,” Trump said on Truth Social….
Minecraft rolled out its Mounts of Mayhem update in December, adding new mountable mobs to the game alongside a new weapon: the spear.
