You know that thing in games where you finally get acquainted with the controls, make it through the opening level, and then get a billion popups at once about the DLC you’ve unlocked? Those pop ups are how I discovered I was playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth‘s $110 Ultimate Edition. I didn’t intend to…
Tekken 8 has gone all out on its story mode, The Dark Awakens.

If you’re hunting for Enshrouded amber locations, you’re not the only one. Amber is a mid-game resource that can be used to unlock the fireball level 2 spell with the alchemist, craft mage gear, and upgrade your flame altar from level 3 to level 4. Amber is incredibly useful… but it’s also pretty hard to…
Dominions is one of those “If you know, you know” game series. Across 22 years, it remains untroubled by the usual quest for ever-greater graphics fidelity or conceptual execution. Dominions is instead the product of two people focused intensely on game mechanics and a sprawling game world. The premise is that the god-of-gods is dead…
2024 continues to be an awful year for employees of the game industry, as another three studios have reportedly laid off employees this week.
