Baldur’s Gate 3 might be the greatest D&D videogame out there, but Planescape: Torment—with its potent mix of exceptional writing and fever-dream setting—is a close second. And we almost got a sequel, Planescape: Unraveled, but nobody had the courage to fund it. Unsurprisingly, Beamdog—which has become something of a custodian for BioWare and Black Isle’s…

Listen, I do love the vibrant colours and deep blacks of my OLED. What I don’t love is the price tag (though, in the grand scheme of RAMpocalypse knock-on effects, the cost of gaming monitors has remained relatively stable). As such, I’m always intrigued by more affordable low-fi tech options, like epaper displays. It’s just…

I confess, even after several years writing about videogames for money, I still have to pause sometimes and remember which CD Projekt is which. I use this handy mnemonic rhyme: If CD Projekt Red you see, that’s the folks who made The Witcher 3. If CD Projekt alone you view, that’s the parent company. Doo…

Sony had a rough track record last year. As one of our contributors Rick Lane pointed out, the company had cancelled eight out of 12 live service games that were originally planned for 2025, including the trainwreck that was Concord—fast-forward to 2026, and it’s called curtains on Destiny 2, a game just years prior I…

Back when the GTA Trilogy trainwreck happened, Dominic Tarason wrote a piece for us making the case that old games shouldn’t be delisted when they’re rereleased. It hasn’t stopped happening, of course, and most recently Dead or Alive 6 was removed from sale in favor of Dead or Alive 6 Last Round, a rerelease so…

The memory apocalypse has already hit prices of RAM and SSDs as AI data centres buy up all the available stock, and it’s only going to get worse according to Jefferies Equity Research. As reported by Wccftech, memory prices are likely to go up between 40 and 50% in the third quarter of 2026, and…

Even if building a gaming PC is prohibitively expensive for most people in 2026, software continues to be cheap and abundant. Valve launched its Steam Summer sale last week and all the normal things happened: Red Dead Redemption 2 got a 75% discount for the 14th time since January 2025. The Witcher 3 got its…

As reported by Polygon, we now have a release window for the second season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. We’ll finally see more episodes of the explosively popular anime adaptation of Mike Pondsmith’s tabletop setting and CD Projekt’s 2020 RPG sometime this fall. I had to do a double take when I noticed it’s been a whole…

In a recent appearance on the Human Can Opener podcast, Obsidian design director Josh Sawyer talked about how the studio approached balance in Fallout: New Vegas, particularly with skill checks in dialogue and making sure different character builds got unique, cool reactivity throughout the game. “Some people think I’m preoccupied with balance,” said Sawyer. “I…

Rivals of Aether 2 isn’t the only Smash Bros.-esque fighting game on Steam, but it might just be the best—unlike the first game, though, it hasn’t included any guest characters just yet. Even Shovel Knight, who appeared in the first Rivals of Aether game, was effectively succeeded by an alarmingly sexy shark man earlier this…
