Star Birds has about as gentle a start as any game possibly could. As a little crew of spacefaring avians, you’re tasked with gathering a handful of resources like water and sulfur from some nearby asteroids. Land on one, build a launchpad, drop some extractors to gather what you need, and link the two via…
Dave James, cable guy (Image credit: Future) Yes, I have been testing gaming keyboards: But I’m also trying to lessen the environmental impact of my home PC setup, while still retaining access to the big ol’ RTX 5090 GPU. Gawd bless external GPU boxes and the Framework Desktop. Cable-clutter is a pain, and a very…
Our hints for today’s Wordle are here whenever you think you need them, and neatly portioned out so you can quickly find exactly the sort of puzzle solving help you need. Still not sure, or not sure what sort of help you need at all? That’s why Tuesday’s clue is here to give you a…
The weekend after launch is often when games hit their all-time peak Steam concurrents (at least until a big sale or special update), and Borderlands 4 managed to hit 304,398 on Sunday, according to SteamDB’s record keeping. It’s an impressive achievement for Gearbox’s $70 co-op shooter, but if it puts Borderlands 4 somewhere in the…
I’ll admit, I wasn’t as creative with my build in Hollow Knight: Silksong as I’d like to admit. I found one of the early weapon upgrades and kind of stuck with that for the next 30 hours. It got the job done, but it was nowhere close to the power of YouTuber Syrobe’s “easy mode”…
September might be packed with game releases, but Silksong set an early watermark for the month by clearing out the release calendar of competitors, claiming a place in all-time peak player count rankings, and—lest we forget—setting Steam entirely on fire. As the dust settles, we’re now getting our first estimates for just how many copies…
I’m making my way slowly to the end of Act One in Silksong, and one of my mainstays has been Thread Storm, a powerful AOE multihit ability that can be acquired fairly early on. But I’ve been a fool: despite using the attack in multiple boss fights, I actually haven’t been getting as much damage…
In 2021, game developer Luca Galante released Vampire Survivors as a diversion from his soul-hollowing day job of working on a mobile gambling game, inadvertently birthing a nascent genre propelled by the force of silly Italian names and millions upon millions of dead bats. In a recent interview with our colleagues at GamesRadar, Galante said…
Borderlands 4 players weren’t going to let the Diablo players have all the fun with builds that deal so much damage the game can’t keep up. It’s been less than a week since the co-op FPS came out and we already have a build that goes infinite. The build, which I discovered through YouTuber NickTew,…
The Roblox brainrot trend continues with more shoe-wearing sharks, strangely shaped cats, and bizarre cappuccino ballerinas in another tower defense experience based on Plants vs. Zombies. Just as its namesake implies, the brainrots replace zombies while keeping the plants to grow your defenses against an eccentric army of critters. A few Plants vs Brainrots codes…
