RuneScape: Dragonwilds skill trees and levelling guide

It wouldn’t be a RuneScape game without level grinding, and RuneScape: Dragonwilds mixes XP grinding into the usual open-world survival game formula. Leveling up skills makes you more efficient at collecting materials and killing enemies and improving your skills also unlocks powerful spells that make so many parts of the game easier. It can be…

The brilliant insect adventure Botanicula is free on the Epic Store for the first time

We described Botanicula in our 2012 review as “the result of Monkey Island and Terry Gilliam falling into a vegan’s blender: A gorgeous-looking mix of point-and-clicking surrealism, whipped together out of nature, discovery and adorable humour.” And yup, that about nails it: It’s weird, funny, heartwarming, and—this is why we’re talking about it right now—free…

MSI RTX 5060 Ti 16G Gaming Trio OC review

There’s no Founders Edition for the RTX 5060 Ti. That means it’s up to you to decide on a third-party design. We’ve tested three 16 GB models for the card’s launch, including two aiming for the MSRP of $429, but this review covers the only one brave enough or stupid enough to disregard that price…

‘It unfortunately won’t be happening in the foreseeable future’: Fortnite’s Arcane skins continue to be in crossover jail as Riot boss confirms they won’t be back anytime soon

Despite the fervor for both Netflix’s Arcane and Fortnite continuing to climb since the two collaborated back in 2021, it seems that highly-requested skins won’t be making a comeback anytime soon.

Roblox has landed itself in hot water with viral TikTok choreographer Kelley Heyer, as she’s filed a lawsuit against the platform for using her dance without permission. Heyer is behind last year’s Apple dance—choregraphed to Charli XCX’s song of the same name—which propelled both her and the tune to fame, even leading Heyer to perform…

We called its first cyberpunk setting ‘cooler than Night City,’ and now the studio behind The Ascent says it’s making ‘the kind of game that every developer wants to work on’

We had a lot of nice things to say about top-down co-op shooter The Ascent back in 2021. Former PC Gamer editor Andy Kelly awarded it an enthusiastic 84% in his review, and called its cyberpunk setting “way cooler than Night City.” Now Swedish developer Neon Giant is teasing its next game, but it’s not…

Ultrakill publisher co-founder throws up hands, jokes ‘Tarkov has done irreparable f*cking damage to the game industry’ because even FromSoftware games are extraction shooters now

I have something to confess to you, dear reader: I’m not an extraction shooter guy. I wasn’t a battle royale guy, either. If I’m playing any sort of PvP game, I don’t find it fun to slink around in the shadows for 10 minutes only to have a heart attack when I’m finally confronted by…

US-made chip prices could soar if the rumour that TSMC might charge ‘as much as 30%’ more for its Arizona chips pans out

The chip industry—as with many others, I’m sure—is, at least to onlookers like myself, in very uncertain waters of late, thanks to the United States’ upsy-downy-round-and-roundy ‘will he, won’t he?’ tariff position. The goal is ostensibly to have production shimmy on over to the US, but we’re now hearing rumour that even some chip production…
