The tragedy of Wildgate is that it might be too clever for its own good. Although it’s a hero shooter on its surface, Wildgate is really a competitive ship battler. As you race other players to gather resources and build a better spaceship, it feels like playing as a unit in a sci-fi RTS. It’s…
The videogame industry took yet another shot to the gut today as Bithell Games, the developer of John Wick Hex and Tron: Catalyst, announced that it is laying off 11 employees after being “unable to secure a new larger scale project.” Studio founder Mike Bithell said the layoffs represent “the majority of our full-time staff.”…
I’ve decided to open this gripe with some positivity, which is why I’m going to admit there is one thing I really respect and appreciate about AI: it’s hateable for so many reasons. I can hate that it’s destroying journalism. I can hate that it’s making internet search less accurate and less helpful with every…
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra spends his time these days heading up a technically-not-gambling daily fantasy sports company, but that doesn’t mean he’s bereft of thoughts on videogames.

Harvey Randall, Staff Writer (Image credit: Future) This week I’ve been: Getting on my soapbox about dialogue wheels for PC Gamer’s Gripes Week. I don’t believe in manifesting—I don’t make dream boards, and I don’t think the universe is listening to any positive vibes I put out. I will, however, take a moment to tell…

With the glass side of your case smushed against a wall, there’s no point getting something pretty if you can’t look inside. However, in Noctua’s case, looks aren’t…
Sometimes it’s hard to get enthusiastic about a new performance record with PC hardware. That’s because most GHz records involved absurd setups that are ultra-niche. But one top-notch overclocker has managed to get a genuine workstation-like PC rig to hit RAM speeds that it has absolutely no right to do so. The overclocker in question…
AI bots in shooters—they’re becoming more commonplace, either to trick players into thinking they’ve broken a losing streak or to just, like, fill out matches. After some robot jumpscares worried Battlefield 6 players, however, EA’s come out to clarify that it’s only until the training wheels come off. As posted to X, the Battlefield Comms…
