PC Gaming
February was a heck of a month of PC gaming, bringing us Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Civilization 7, Avowed, Monster Hunter Wilds and more. Things slow down a little in March, but not that much. The biggest releases are probably Assassin’s Creed Shadows and highly anticipated Sims-competitor Inzoi, but there are many other exciting games…
I only have faint memories of fighting my first Gravios in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on the 3DS sometime in 2015, but I’m sure it involved a lot of impotent flailing with weapons that couldn’t penetrate its rocky hide. Since then, my hunting craft has improved enough that, in Wilds, I can crack open the…
Twitch streamer Hasan Piker has been banned, again, apparently for suggesting that if the Republican Party was serious about combating Medicare fraud, they would “kill Rick Scott,” the former governor of Florida who now sits as a Republican senator. The statement came during a stream in which Hasan was reacting to an interview with US…
Monster Hunter Wilds has an impressive character creator, letting players make all manner of Ronalds McDonald and Hatsunes Miku (which you can use yourself by importing Wilds character design codes). It also lets me make an unsettlingly accurate recreation of my own face so I can watch my mild-mannered, writerly self annihilate condominium-scale reptiles. Capcom,…
I may be a Build Mode woman in my life sims but I know the adult situations you Live Mode players concoct and what extra spicy stuff you have in your mods folders. The adults-only inclination of some life sim enjoyers was on display as the developers of up-and-comer Sims competitor Inzoi answered fan questions…
After 14 years of operation, indie developer Studio Fizbin is closing its doors: Co-founder Alexander Pieper said today that the studio will wind down this spring after releasing its next and final game, Reignbreaker. “The games industry is in a tough situation right now, and we’ve been affected like countless other incredible studios in recent…
At times in Kingdom Come: Circumference Deliverance 2, I’ve felt like my Henry is rolling around Bohemia without a care in the world. This is not what I had in mind. The “Sphere World” mod by Nexus user Omniscye takes great effort to transform the harsh, unforgiving world of KCD2 into a softer, rounder, and…
As I’m writing this, the temperature in London is 9.4 degrees Celsius. Also as I’m writing this, the indie puzzle game A Good Snowman is Hard To Build has been out for 10 years. What do those two facts have in common? To celebrate turning 10, the adorable puzzle game by Draknek & Friends has…
The dust has begun to settle on AMD’s RX 9000-series announcement, and I’ve finally had the chance to sit back and look over some of the footage in more detail, rather than scrambling to write about the impressive pricing of the new cards. And while I’m definitely jubilant about the idea of serious competition in…
How much are you willing to spend on a new graphics card? This is a pertinent question these days, and one I’ve been asking myself in the mirror every morning alongside ‘Why don’t you go to the gym more?’ and ‘Has that always been there?’. Anyways, we’re already three cards into Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 50-series…
