Helldivers 2 is a harsh game—download it, and you’re at risk of being gibbed by chainsaws, torn apart by Voteless, melted by insectoid dragons, or just blown up by friendly fire. Not one to rest on its laurels, Arrowhead has gone: What if we added “boiled alive in magma” to that list? What if, Arrowhead?…
So you’re wondering why you’ve suddenly been reduced to 50% HP while trying to explore The Great Hollow map? Elden Ring Nightreign‘s new Shifting Earth event has a special (and somewhat annoying) mechanic called the ‘crystal curse‘, which inflicts a half-health reduction whenever you enter the castles or ruins in each corner of the map….
This month PC Gamer gets world-exclusive access to Dinolords, the roarsome new RTS where you wage war with medieval knights and dinosaurs. Yes, you read that right! It’s a totally bonkers premise, but one that is genuinely fresh and exciting, with the game’s developer, Northplay, attempting to evolve the RTS genre in some really interesting…
Splatterhouse was a sidescrolling beat ’em up series that first appeared in Japanese arcades in 1988. It and subsequent Splatterhouse games were novel for their gory horror approach to a genre we more readily associate with street fighting or Ninja Turtles. The series is mostly forgotten to all except a small diehard community, but it…

Working out how to unlock Undertaker in Elden Ring Nightreign is actually a lot simpler than it was for previous characters like Duchess. This nun is set to be one of the most powerful characters in the game alongside Wylder, entering a state where she can surge-sprint without consuming stamina as well as get an…
Puzzling out how to unlock Scholar in Elden Ring Nightreign isn’t all that confusing, especially compared to the slightly weird unlock conditions that Duchess had when the game first launched. This learned gentleman is more of a support Nightfarer, debuffing enemies, linking them together for shared damage, and also connecting allies so they heal each…
There was a spot of skycontroversy earlier this year when former Skyblivion world designer Dee Keyes took issue with the mega-mod’s planned launch in 2025. Keyes was critical of project management over “crunching” in pursuit of what he called “a pointless and unachievable release date.” And it turns out he was right, at least about…
GameStop’s been on a roll with bizarre trade-ins as of late. After announcing “Trade Anything Day,” an idea that sounds more like a sketch comedy bit than a real thing, it has awarded a record-setting payout of over $30,000 to a customer who handed in a “fully authenticated PSA 10 Holo Gengar.” It’s also really…
As is ever the case with FromSoftware DLC, part of the challenge with Elden Ring Nightreign‘s expansion is working out how to unlock The Forsaken Hollows. Thankfully, it’s nowhere near as cryptic as something like the Artorias of the Abyss expansion in Dark Souls, which was pretty much impossible to find unless you knew where…
