Tea leaf! Strolling down the road in a brand new, unfamiliar town, taking in the sights, you stop in front of a pleasant-looking house. Lovely big oak door, ruby red slate tiles, stone brickwork stained by sunlight and mud. It’s quaint and cosy, the idyllic village house, perhaps home to a young mother who’s just…

If you spend time playing modern games — whether on consoles, phones, or websites — you’ve probably noticed something familiar. Beyond cutting-edge graphics and sprawling open worlds, many new titles rely on simple, time-tested game mechanics from decades ago. These include elements like high scores, risk-versus-reward structures, and pick-up-and-play controls. Why are these classic mechanics…
Allow us to set the scene. Three corners from the finish line, another racer shunts your repulsorcraft into an adjacent boulder, sending you careening into the toxic wastes of Sentinel I. You try to correct your course. Too late. The vehicle that took you 4 tours and 23 races to tune is now scattered across…
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a great bit of fun—a chaotic, sometimes overtly cruel action RPG with a great sense of physical humour and some really tactile combat.

Battlefield 6 scored a lot of points with series fans when DICE announced that its cosmetics would be “grounded,” defying the norms of an FPS scene inundated with ugly crossover bundles. By the low standards of the time, it’s fair to say the studio has kept its word so far, but some fans think Battlefield…
Visic on YouTube and D4CLoveTrainn on the Silksong subreddit are two Silksongers of the admirably deranged, number crunching variety: Each one independently tested the DPS of every crest (weapon moveset) in the game, and their results exactly corroborate each other. Such analysis is possible thanks to XiaoHaiNB’s ShowDamage HealthBar mod on the Nexus, which reveals…
Zombies are among the most relentless monsters, whether they are of the classic shambling variety or the modern breed of sprinting corpses. They never give up—not until their brains are smashed in. And Dying Light developer Techland is seemingly no different, doggedly supporting the first game—now a decade old—even as it gears up to launch…
Here’s an adorable little game in the vein of the much-enjoyed Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator with the exception, of course, that it is free. And everyone loves free things. In Enscroll you’re a fresh magic academy graduate with hefty loans to repay using your newfound skills—but no prospect of full-time employment. To repay your dues…
Capcom’s fighter welcomes “good girl” Mai early next year. During the development of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s DLC, game director Masahiro Sakurai revealed he couldn’t add Mai Shiranui from SNK’s fighting series to the roster, because Smash was for the “good boys and girls”. While Mai unfortunately missed out on joining Nintendo’s all-star brawler, one…
