For all its rapidly respawning NPCs, despawning monsters, broken quests, and general bugginess that remind us what we mean when we talk about ‘eurojank,’ Stalker 2 is an ambitious, at times brilliant, game that definitely has its audience. An audience willing to overlook, or even embrace, brokenness when it’s in service to an atmospheric survival…
The original Fallout’s lead developer Tim Cain has been sharing his memories about the early games in the series for a while over on his Youtube channel. Cain’s had a long and eclectic career (the only sequel he’s ever worked on, funnily enough, is Fallout 2) and also seems to have a razor-sharp memory for…
As we wind down this year in games, what are you looking forward to most in 2025? Becoming an adventurer in Avowed? A crook in GTA 6? A Norman Reedus in Death Stranding 2? A… civilization, I guess, in Civilization 7? Me, I want to be a shop owner. Helping customers, petting my cat, and,…
Yesterday, CD Projekt RED released a pretty sizeable update for Cyberpunk 2077 out of nowhere. The 2.2 update came with an improved photo mode, a bunch of new cars to buy from Autofixer, the ability to save and apply your custom car coatings to other vehicles, and ol’ Keanu Reeves zapping himself into the passenger…
Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.2 update could be fantastic for anyone with a machine packing an Intel Arrow Lake chip—all five of you—thanks to announced CPU-threading optimisations for the game. The changes would reportedly put CPUs like the Core Ultra 9 285K up to the same performance figures of Ryzen 7 7800X3D, albeit in one game, but…
In Path of Exile 2‘s gloomy Wraeclast, with its denizens once again facing down the apocalypse, there isn’t much time to pick out a sick outfit. Nor are folk rushing to the local tattoo parlour, or jewellers, to spruce up their look. Not when demonic hyenas and ravenous zombies are prowling the streets. But for…
I’ve never particularly played much of the ogres in Total War: Warhammer 3. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate their whole vibe as a tide of hungry humanoid giants eating their way across the old world, and I love their monsters, which all look like prehistoric beasts taken straight from the cover of a heavy…
Legal cases against gigantic companies are kind of the trope of the decade in the tech sphere. Especially since the rise of AI, companies have been paying out left, right, and centre. And given Nvidia’s spearheading the AI datacentre market by a whopping margin, it’s no surprise that the company’s joined the fold of others…
Steam has once again shown its ability to never run out of steam, as a weekend of big game launches led to it reaching its highest-ever concurrent user account. In a year of Steam beating concurrent records, it ends the year with a bang. As reported by Sweclockers, the PC gaming platform managed to hit…
Dear reader, there are a few times where I need to eat some humble pie, and this is one of those instances—I was not giving Marvel Rivals a fair shake. I saw the live service box it was coming in and thought ‘there’s no possible way this’ll work’, especially not in a year of Concords…
