Somehow, Saints Row returned. Well, kind of. In a giddy post on the Saints Row subreddit, a lead on the original game in the Saints Row series announced that someone, somewhere might be interested in firing up Volition’s (RIP) open-world crime games once more. Chris Stockman, who served as design director on the first Saints…

When REPO announced it would be receiving a bunch of new monsters in September, I naively thought they wouldn’t be too scary. Most of REPO’s existing critters are unsettling, especially the Upscream and the Animal, but there’s nothing that really petrifies you. The same can’t be said for the game now though, and having spent…

I am really optimistic about Starfinder: Afterlight, an upcoming CRPG based on the Starfinder 2e TTRPG system. It’s got a lot of things going for it: sensible developers, a gorgeous artstyle, official support from Paizo, and voice direction by Neil Newbon of Baldur’s Gate 3 fame. Also, its Kickstarter has had the crap funded out…

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…
