MORGAN PARK, STAFF WRITER (Image credit: Future) Last week: Finally finished my replay of Metal Gear Solid 3 and decided it’s easily the best one. Yesterday, a coworker shared a link to a little browser game that looked right up PC Gamer’s alley: Doomscroll, a top-down shooter played entirely with a scroll wheel. You move…
Borderlands 4 is finally here and the reaction is… well, mixed. Players mainly seem irked by a slew of performance issues on PC, though stuff like 2K’s overbearing terms of service haven’t helped either. But it’s easy to get too negative: the patches will flow, Gearbox will improve the performance, and we’ll be left with…
Ah, you know how it is. You start looking for a pen, or a sticky note, or maybe some spare change, and suddenly you start finding things you lost years ago. In Intel’s case, that appears to be a load of Comet Lake-era Core i5 10400 CPUs, but not to worry—it’s simply rebranded them as…
Recruitment Drive is just the second mission in Borderlands 4, after Guns Blazing, but you’re likely to already run into an issue: how to get elevator clearance. Towards the end of the mission, after clearing out Rippers, beating the Splashzone boss, and fixing the elevator for Claptrap, you then need to ride the lift. It…
There’s a bit of a generational divide in the Fallout fanbase. Those who hopped on board with Fallout 3 tend to rather like Bethesda’s take: sure, it’s not doing much of enormous narrative ambition, but it’s fun to explore the great rambling wastelands the studio gins up for its game. Decrepit grognards (me), meanwhile, get…
In an event for something called the ‘Nintendo Switch,’ the well-coiffed businessmen took a break from hollering about Mario to drop a sly reveal: Hades 2’s full release date. It’s well, imminent: Hades 2 hits 1.0 this September 25, or 13 days from now. It’ll hit Switch at the same time, should you want to…
US senator Ron Wyden has written a letter to the FTC requesting that the organisation investigate Microsoft for what he calls “gross cybersecurity negligence.” His complaint is primarily related to a form of encryption still supported by the company’s Windows operating system, which the senator’s office believes is vulnerable to ransomware attacks. In the letter…
As Maxar Intelligence’s WorldView Legion satellite sped over China, it snapped a picture of the Dingxin airbase below. In that photo, a surprise. No, not a giant middle finger etched into the sandy ground by the Chinese military—though you could see why that might happen—rather, a SpaceX Starlink satellite speeding through the frame. WorldView Legion…
Finding a way to Verdania in Hollow Knight: Silksong is kinda confusing. It’s definitely one of the most complex regions to reach, especially as I’m pretty sure it’s entirely optional. First off, actually visiting it requires you to unlock Act 3, which is a whole elaborate process in itself. You’ll also have to complete some…
Have you played Silksong? No no no, I don’t mean that rank imitation that passes for Silksong today. I mean original Silksong, purestrain Silksong, pre-patch Silksong. Everyone knows Silksong’s patch one—the game’s “first major patch”—which hit yesterday, really just fouled it all up. It made things too easy. It turned our beloved Silksong into, well,…
