Good news, everyone! Schedule 1‘s Halloween update is here. Just in time for…wait. Why are all those porch pumpkins looking a bit deflated? Why have all the TV networks pivoted to Christmas adverts? Why do I have a sudden urge to grow a moustache and write an entire novel in 30 days? Oh my God!…
The ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X have a few unique features that have made them stand out as interesting (if not the best value) gaming handhelds. The internals in the X make it the most powerful handheld gaming PC you can buy right now, but its FSE Xbox-style interface also adds a…
Remember when the prevailing wisdom of consumer tech was ‘smaller is better’? And then it turned out there was such a thing as too small, as we kept losing our toasty-but-tiny-tech? Confronted with the bloat of today’s Windows install, I do wish certain software peddlers had committed to a similar philosophy of ‘less is more.’…
With objectives that give a clear, named location to head to, you wouldn’t think that the With a Trace quest in Arc Raiders would be so difficult; it’s not like What We Left Behind‘s more cryptic tasks. That said, the area is massive and all looks rather samey, oh, and it’s often filled with dangerous…
It’s a messy time over at Heart Machine, developer of the beloved Hyper Light Drifter and its ill-fated hack ‘n’ slash successor Hyper Light Breaker. The latter debuted to mixed Steam reviews and muted sales when it carved its way into early access back in January, resulting in layoffs at Heart Machine and work on…
Undertaking Eyes in the Sky is one of the more elaborate missions you’ll have to complete in Arc Raiders. During this quest, Shani asks you to take the LiDAR Scanners you previously recovered at the Spaceport and place three of them at the highest points in different regions, letting her spy on what Arc is…
Egotist, terrorist, lovable scamp: these are descriptors I associate with Johnny Silverhand, the Cyberpunk setting’s mashup of David Bowie and Andreas Baader, who was played by Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077. Reeves, god bless him, hasn’t been shy about voicing his desire to play the character again. Which sounds like it’d be pretty tough, given…
Battlefield 6 has added a new mode for players who just want to complete challenges and take it easy. Casual Breakthrough has already been added to the main menu and will offer a far chiller version of Battlefield 6, where players can go to take shelter from the sweats and professional jet pilots. “We understand…
Tactical Breach Wizards was one of my favourite games from last year—you can read my full thoughts in my Tactical Breach Wizards review—but in case you’re unfamiliar, it’s a turn-based tactical RPG with great writing, interesting worldbuilding, and a razor-sharp sense of humour. It also just happens to be a really solid tactics game on…
Completing the What We Left Behind mission in Arc Raiders has a couple of tricky steps, including tracking down multiple hidden Raider Camps throughout different regions. Tian Wen, Speranza’s resident gun nut, wants you to head to these camps and salvage whatever you can find for her. While one of these camps is really easy…
