In March, videogames will no longer be able to sell lootboxes to users under the age of 18 in Brazil due to a ban signed earlier this month by Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Part of a broader law passed by Brazil’s congress to enact online safety measures for children, the ban continues…
Yesterday, Grinding Gear Games dropped a surprise update to announce mid-patch changes to Path of Exile 2, including a long overdue overhaul to how towers work in the endgame. In the video that accompanied the post, game director Jonathan Rogers explained that GGG is pushing pushing those updates now to give them a little more…
My main two hobbies are gaming and reading. My third hobby is turning those other two hobbies into homework. That is not sarcasm; I love managing wishlists, surfing recommendations, and visualizing my stats with sortable spreadsheets and colorful pie charts. With gaming it’s easy. I dabble in spreadsheet logs occasionally, but I mainly lean on…
If you’ve been following the lead-up to Silent Hill f’s release, then you’ve probably heard some not-so-great things about its combat. I’ll concede that the first few enemy encounters can feel bad, rusty-old-knife-getting-sunk-into-your-shoulder bad.

Bowser succeeded Reggie Fils-Aime and has been in position for six years, but spent well over a decade in various other leadership roles at the company. He’s also leaving the company on something of a…
There’s something about over-the-air broadcasting. Tuning a radio has a way of making the world feel vast: picking up the clipped tones of a Beijing newscaster through waves of static, dialling into the current top 40 in Amman—these are experiences that make you appreciate how enormous and varied the planet is, like scooping a thimble…
Back in May, lead Diablo artists told PC Gamer that the best way to design Diablo art was to look at anything that wasn’t Diablo. Today, it seems those artists haven’t been looking terribly far afield, because Blizzard’s doing some good old-fashioned franchise synergizing by putting Starcraft skins in Diablo 4. In a blog post…
I am already totally sold on In Falsus, the rhythm game from the same developer behind mobile music game Arcaea. After a very brief reveal trailer four months ago, we’ve now got a second trailer from the Tokyo Game Show with a little bit of gameplay and insight into a new card-based system. It’s got…
