You might know Palworld for its jaw-dropping player counts, its uncanny resemblance to the world’s biggest media franchise, or its legal battle with Nintendo over that last thing I mentioned. Despite all the hubbub, it’s just a pretty alright survival crafting game full of cute monster buddies parodying (or ripping off, depending on how cynical…
Over the weekend, Chris Wilson, co-founder of Path of Exile developer Grinding Gear Games, surprised ARPG devotees with an unexpected announcement. During an hourlong interview with Diablo designer David Brevik in celebration of Diablo 2’s 25th anniversary, Wilson revealed that he’s started a new game development studio, and that he’s already got a new game…
The Minecraft-inspired sandbox RPG Hytale is cancelled, but it’s not necessarily dead. In the wake of Riot’s decision to pull the plug on development last week, Hypixel Studios co-founder Simon Collins-Laflamme has expressed interest in the possibility of bringing it back to life, and says he’s willing to put his money—a lot of money—where his…

I’d like to start off this review with an admission: I’ve had the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 earbuds in my possession for far too long. In a year where I’ve spent a fair bit of time on the road (and been waylaid by many time-sensitive GPU and laptop reviews), the Sennheisers have accidentally ended…
Rematch is still going strong after its release, with around 33,000 players on Steam alone as I write this very sentence. Talking to them about their successes, PCG’s own Evan Lahti asked co-founder Pierre Tarno and lead game designer Dylan Allen what goes into making the game’s balls feel so good to kick. “There’s multiple…
We’ve all seen countless attempts by people trying to run older console games on a PC, either through reverse engineering the code or the use of emulators, but one plucky hardware modder has decided that the time was ripe to do the reverse: Get an old games console to become a PC by running Windows….
If I’m known for anything, it’s my incredible fashion sense. ‘Josh!’ cries the baying mob, ‘tell us where you got that 10-pack of t-shirts of indiscernibly different dark hues for like £15!
