I like strategy games, but they start to lose me as they grow increasingly complex to the point of near-impenetrability. That’s largely kept me away from grand strategy and 4X games, which tend to offer the richest sandboxes to the most committed players, occasionally at the cost of accessibility to newcomers. The only series in…
Completing Silk and Soul in Hollow Knight: Silksong isn’t actually as complicated as unlocking it. There’s quite a bit of stuff you’ll have to do to unlock Act 3 before you get this quest (which I go through in the guide linked above), but once you’ve received it from Songclave’s Caretaker, you’ll have one final…
In the wake of Cities: Skylines 2’s shaky launch and mixed reception, developer Colossal Order and publisher Paradox Interactive have parted ways, with a new dev, Iceflake Studios, stepping in to continue patching the city builder.

According to his account, there was a time when Nintendo almost ended up buying and marketing the 1982 video game system ‘ColecoVision’ for Japan but negotiations fell through….
Despite being someone who had never touched RuneScape outside of a slightly dodgy interaction in the game as a child, I somehow found myself right in the middle of RuneFest back in March. It is slightly strange infiltrating a convention for a community you’ve absolutely no stake in, but if Jagex’s master plan was to…
The only thing I really know about manga is that there’s lots of it. But now there’s a fair bit less of it online, at least that’s available for, erm, ‘free’, in less than legal terms, on bato.to. But this and many related sites, such as xbato.com, are now dead, thanks to a Chinese criminal…
A caffeine dream. When I was a teenager, I landed my first-ever job as a barista at a busy chain coffee shop in the heart of New York. When I didn’t have my nose in the books at school, I’d spend hours making all manner of drinks for the city’s thirsty clientele. It was daunting…
With Arceus taking centre stage. We expected some news on the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket front in today’s Pokémon Presents showcase, and we were not left disappointed. The Pokémon Company has revealed Triumphant Light, the latest set that will be coming to the mobile card-collecting app. What’s more, you’ll be able to start ripping…
It’s been a while since Subnautica 2 first pinged the radar back in 2022, but we know there’s a return voyage from developer Unknown Worlds in the works, and it’s out sometime this year. We’ve seen a slow and steady trickle of details on the next dive—teasers from showcases, Discord updates, and even screenshots hidden…
