Saturday, Behaviour Interactive revealed the latest playable killer coming to asymmetrical PvP game Dead by Daylight: Jason Voorhees. If that has you wondering, ‘How was he not in that game already?’, you’re not alone. In a press release, Horror Inc. executive VP Robbie Barsamian said Friday the 13th fans have been waiting for this collaboration…
I’m a little bit behind on this one—it launched last week—but Phonopolis, the new game from Amanita Design, is out, and as a longtime fan of the studio I am very pleased to say that so far, it’s pretty great. I say “so far” because I haven’t yet finished Phonopolis, and it’s always possible that…
Life simmers have been chronically bored for years—so much so that asking “how do you keep Sims 4 interesting for yourself?” is a bit of a cliché. My theory is that life sims need to be harder, or at the very least get back in touch with the strategy roots that made The Sims so…
The Dishonored games were a treat for old-time stealth sickos in part because they cleaved so closely to Thief, the greatest example of the genre. in fact, when it came time to give voice to Corvo Attano in Dishonored 2, Arkane chose Stephen Russell for the job, the man behind the iconic voice of Thief…
Got plans for tomorrow? Scrap ’em. May 26 is the official airdate of the BitSummit Punch Mixtape Presented by GamesRadar+ (they had to bolt on an extra five minutes to give the hosts time to say the name*), and you’re gonna want to tune in. BitSummit is Japan’s longest-lived indie festival—scholars believe it began some…
We live in complex geopolitical times. I think. I’ll be honest, I’ve not been paying attention. But it’s recently become known to me that a little strip of water called the Strait of Hormuz has—like a wavepool they had to shut down due to a urine crisis—shut up shop. This has caused a great deal…
The remarkable patch cadence of Crimson Desert shows no signs of abating, with yet another meaty update arriving just this Friday. Patch 1.08.00 brings a big new batch of additions and improvements to Pearl Abyss’ ludicrous kitchen sink of an RPG, including a host of cute new critters and more weapons to brutally slaughter them…
The studios behind Peak, Aggro Crab and Landfall Games, originally threw the game together at a breakneck pace during a 4-week game jam. In a recent interview at GDC, Aggro Crab studio head Nick Kamant told PC Gamer editor Ted Litchfield it didn’t just help them switch gears to smaller projects—it also helped them realize…
Paralives has just hit early access, and while it is very much a work-in-progress right now, it’s also the most fun I’ve had playing a life sim in a hot sec. As a lifelong Sims player, I’ve been noticing loads of neat stuff in Paralives that you just won’t find in The Sims 4, even…
Helldivers 2 is currently in the “it’s so over” phase of its live-service cycle. A dodgy Warbond plus a general comedown from its Siege of Cyberstan event has left the community discontented and recent Steam reviews at ‘Mostly Negative’. After addressing the community on the issue, Arrowhead has begun the process of clawing its way…
