Climbing Mount Fay in Hollow Knight: Silksong is one of the game’s most elaborate platforming sections. In fact, it’s essentially an entire region devoted to a single challenging goal—climbing your way to the top of the mountain. You’ll have to use every movement ability open to you, including the Clawline, which you’ll have to unlock…
Of the many challenges facing our home, the good ship planet Earth, surely none is greater than the fact our Steam libraries won’t organise themselves properly. If you own the Assassin’s Creed or Yakuza games, you know what I’m talking about: Steam’s rigid alphabetisation of your library means that series are presented out of order….
Recently I’ve been considering buying a GeForce Now subscription to offset my ageing gaming PC, but now I’m thinking it might be worth hitting the local auctions. Apparently you can get fully-fledged RTX 3080 Ti PCs for just $32 from them. No, really, that’s what one lucky (he says, through gritted teeth) Redditor got from…
GTA 6 may just be the most anticipated game release of the last decade (sorry, Silksong) as players have been waiting what feels like a lifetime to get the chance to drop into Rockstar’s next instalment. But as player excitement swells, the closer we get to GTA 6’s release, so does some developers’ anxiety. In…
There are a huge number of festivals and events that take place in autumn in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. Outside of the obvious, self-explanatory events like the crop show or bake-off, you’ll also be told about the Pumpkin Festival. This takes place on the last Thursday of Autumn each year, and functions similarly to…
I’ve been playing Silksong this week—a lot of Silksong. So much Silksong, in fact, I’ve nearly developed two blisters on my right hand. This happened once before when I got really hyperfocused on learning an Elphelt combo in Guilty Gear: Strive. The things we do for dopamine. Anyway, I’ve prescribed myself one “play a game…
Intel’s been on a roll of late in all the wrong ways. Borked CPUs, failing fabs, haemorrhaging cash, run-ins with the President of the USA. The woes never end. Until next year, that is, and the launch of Nova Lake. That’s right, peeps, when Intel’s next-gen CPU architecture arrives at the end of 2026, Intel…
AMD’s GPUs scarcely seem to have the slightest impact on the gaming market of late. But the company has big plans for its next-gen AI GPU, known as MI450. AMD says it’s aiming for “leadership performance across the board.” Speaking at the recent Communicopia+ Technology Conference held by the penny-loafered bean counters at Goldman Sachs,…

There’s one round little chubster robot with an exposed core, so I yank it out of his chest and he drops immediately. I could throw it like a grenade, but instead I absorb it to earn a brief superpunch power-up that I use to launch myself at one of the heavier-armored robots, bashing the metal…
