Unpacking is one of my favourite videogames, where you grab things out of boxes and neatly pop them around an isometric home. It’s pretty linear though—not a complaint, it needs to be to serve its excellent narrative—but I’ve longed for a similar game with fewer shackles ever since. Whisper of the House is that exact…
Bigger is always better in computing. Just maybe don’t try and tell that to the SFF guys with their Fractal Terras and neat cable routing. But in these terms the 18-inch gaming laptop is a desktop replacement beast; it’s the largest form of laptop and a crazy idea that pushes against the idea of a…
I’m always astonished at the ingenuity players can wield when given a solid house-building system. Heck, even when I was playing City of Heroes: Homecoming, fans were wrangling a decades-old base builder to make some true works of art out of scraps. World of Warcraft, however, appears to be making a proper effort to do…
According to a recent Forbes report, Elon Musk’s xAI has made hundreds of thousands of Grok chatbot conversations searchable on a variety of search engines, including Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo, without warning its users their chats were subject to publication. The report says that more than 370,000 user conversations are now readable online, and that…
I was going to start this article by writing about how I feel like there’s a new Tropico entry every time I return my attention to the series. I was going to write about how it wasn’t that long ago I was pouring many hours into Tropico 3, and now there’s apparently a seventh game…
I look at the time where we all collectively thirsted over Lady Dimitrescu through my fingers with mild embarrassment. It was Covid, we were all losing our minds… it made sense at that moment, alright? I wouldn’t say we’ve stopped going googly-eyed for horror waifus, but we’ve certainly become more conservative about it. Perhaps not…
Kill the Brickman, which publisher Poncle and developer Doonutsaur just shadow-dropped this afternoon, is one of those games that defies a simple, clean description. It’s a bit of a weirdo. But it’s a weirdo you can play right now for a meagre £4/$5, so it might be worth taking a punt on. OK! So sentient…
Dawn of War 4‘s inception goes all the way back to 2018, only a year after the arrival of Dawn of War 3. King Art Games had just launched the Kickstarter for Iron Harvest, an alt-history WWI with mechs and bears. As soon as King Art started to show off Iron Harvest, Dawn of War…
Facing Everdark Gladius in Elden Ring Nightreign might actually be quite satisfying for many players after the nightmare that was Everdark Libra. That’s because the new version of the fire doggo is wonderfully straightforward, a little similar to Everdark Caligo, so it’s less about random gimmicks and more just a full-on brawl. Gladius 2.0 hits…
Okay, so I recently wrote about how I’m kind of over the Fortnitification of everything, but Infinity Nikki collaborating with Stardew Valley is one videogame crossover I can abide by. The two cosy games are colliding in an update set to land on September 1. It’s not 100% what Stardewy things will be making an…
