We all saw it coming, but it still doesn’t feel great. It seems that the RAM shortage that has us all mourning the not-so-terrible prices of a few months ago might now also open the door to a GPU shortage, and small GPU vendors will be hit the hardest. Reputable leaker Golden Pig Upgrade Pack…
Every time I make a kill in Escape from Tarkov, it’s over in a flash. This is not down to skill. Sometimes in Tarkov you’ll be sitting there minding your own business when two players blithely walk by, no idea you’re there, and even with a pop gun it will be the easiest double kill…
The Outer Worlds games take place in an absurd dystopia: a slice of the universe dominated by corporations and the perverse, dehumanising logic that comes with making profit your god. Its people are cogs in a great, blood-greased machine overseen by CEOs, executives, and corpulent moneymen. But it’s not about capitalism. Not intentionally, anyway. So…
Intel is planning to sock it to AMD’s dominant X3D CPUs with a 52-core version of its upcoming Nova Lake processor. Incredibly, it’s claimed the chip will pack 288 MB of last-level vertical cache memory. That’s well over double the 128 MB of V-Cache currently offered by AMD’s top X3D CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9…
Despite its tame rating, sex has always wormed its way into The Sims series—I fear it’s a canon event to Google “how to make Sims naked” as a teenager. But it arguably didn’t blow up into more mainstream simming until Turbodriver’s WhickedWhims came along in 2016, offering a package of nudity, animated sex, birth control,…
The saga of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is coming to a close. After a decade of development, a midpoint studio switch and some last-minute drama surrounding launch DLC, it all culminated in disappointment. “We’ve had high expectations for a long time, since we saw that it was a good game with a strong…
There are a lot of different bottled crafting materials in Arc Raiders, such as antiseptic, crude explosives, and synthesised fuel. So, when you’re sent to find three laboratory reagents to upgrade your Explosives Station from level two to three, it’s harder than it should be to know where to start and what they really look…
Dispatch‘s story focuses heavily around your relationship—platonic or otherwise—with Invisigal, the SDN’s resident burnout. At least, before Robert Robertson III arrives on-scene; Whether or not you support her has a huge impact on the story, making for a nicely focused arc in AdHoc’s debut game. However, things could’ve been very different. That’s per a Polygon…
There’s a lovely simplicity to a name like Dog Witch. Straight to the point: you play a dog that is also a witch and that’s that. No colons or dashes or unnecessary subtitles. That’s Dog Witch in a nutshell really. Its take on roguelike deckbuilding is minimalist, streamlined, and charmingly chill. (Image credit: Heckmouse) In…
Fashion is an important metric with which I use to measure the quality of a modern RPG. I enjoyed my 160 hours with the Switch-exclusive Xenoblade Chronicles 2, for instance, but will never be able to forgive it for making me stomp around the world dressed like this walking nightmare. JRPGs in particular seem to…
