Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is one of the more surprising successes of 2025. Questline’s open-world RPG gives Arthurian legend the Elder Scrolls treatment, letting players explore a decaying, war-torn version of Avalon while guided by the ghost of King Arthur. Tainted Grail’s unusual world and intriguing questlines more than made up for a…
Kickstart your weekend with a Wordle win so quick and effortless it almost feels like cheating; just scroll your way down to the September 13 (1547) answer and that’s it, job done. And yes it is almost cheating. If your eyes happen to scroll across Saturday’s winning word while you’re here then that’s just a…
Nothing prepared me for the Sisyphean exercise that is playing Hollow Knight: Silksong. Part of that is my bad for skipping the original Hollow Knight—I thought I’d have plenty of time to try it before Silksong ever actually came out. But now it’s here and I’ve spent over 25 hours with the videogame equivalent of…
The Battlefield 6 beta felt like a throwback to an older era of Battlefield in all sorts of ways, but one of the big ones was its generous spotting mechanic: Slap that Q button in the general direction of a bad guy and their head got tagged with a scarlet “Dorito,” making them visible and…
Between a systemic overhaul that the playerbase hates, and a list of bugs that frankly beggar belief, Destiny 2 is currently in perhaps the worst shape of its history. Which, if you’ve been paying attention to the game’s ability to self-immolate, is truly something. And yet Bungie still seems determined to find new ways to…
Speaking to IGN in a recent interview, Battlefield Studios developers said that Battlefield 6 has been built from the start with console players in mind, going so far as to describe their approach as “secretly console first.” I’d joke that we should keep our torches and pitchforks stowed, because there is some mitigating context to…
Game developers, generally speaking, don’t like leaks. Infinity Nikki studio Infold, for instance, recently described leaks as “poison to all creation.” That’s maybe a bit much, but it does capture the broad sentiment: When you’re working on something that’s meant to be a surprise, and someone blows that surprise, it sucks. Developers do what they…
Borderlands 4 has had a complicated launch. Initial critical response was fairly positive, but some sites—including PC Gamer—didn’t receive pre-release code and were unable to offer their own opinions at launch. And once the clock hit go time, early Steam reviews were dominated by reports of performance issues and crashes that we experienced in our…
The vibe shift on goofy cosmetics in live service games is impossible to ignore at this point. Call of Duty has issued a full reversal on its plans to allow fantastical skins in Black Ops 7 after heavy backlash, and today, Battlefield 6 developers reaffirmed their commitment to not ending up like Fortnite. “We want…
Star Citizen may not be the most famously overdue videogame of all time, but it has to be a top-five contender, especially given that it is now just shy of $865 million (and no, there’s not an errant zero in there, that’s eight-hundred and sixty-five million smackeroos) raised in crowdfunding. Developer Cloud Imperium Games recently…
