We still don’t know how Larian plans to follow the massive success of Baldur’s Gate 3, but whatever it is, it’s now occupying the “full attention” of developers at the studio. First things first, we do know a little bit about Larian’s next project, which are actually projects, plural—the studio apparently has two things on…
Powerwash Simulator was a surprise hit when it popped up in 2022, earning critical plaudits, enviable player numbers, crossovers ranging from Spongebob Squarepants to Warhammer 40,000 and even an academic thumbs-up from Oxford. Despite all that success, it hasn’t been able to crack the thick-skinned nut that is virtual reality, and today FuturLab has announced…
At the end of 2024, I got to try one last hour-long preview of Hyper Light Breaker ahead of its early access launch on January 14. It does the thing: This is a great action game that nails the look and feel of Hyper Light Drifter in a 3D open world. Now there are two…

As someone who has actively avoided most things Fortnite, I hate to admit that this might be the thing that lures me in like a siren’s song, but it was…
Dungeons & Dragons will be completing its trio of 2024 rules revisions—a little confusingly—on Feburary 18, 2025. Its third source book, the Monster Manual, comes on the heels of both the Player’s Handbook and the Dungeon Master’s Guide. I recently got to sit down last week, with a bestiary of other outlets, for a preview…
It’s a wild word out there. This year marks five years since the last mainline Animal Crossing game launched. Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out at the perfect time and made an absolutely huge splash worldwide. But with its fifth anniversary fast approaching, we’re sure lots of fans are champing at the bit for a…
“I may have killed two N64s with this…”. As gaming hardware gets older, finding replacement parts gets harder and, therefore, more expensive. It’s for this reason that we’ve seen a bunch of community-made replacements, one of which is the Open Source Expansion Pak (OEXP), a replacement for the N64’s Expansion Pak which aims to provide…
The reality of mounting e-waste is just one more thing that keeps me up at night—though every now and then, such a nightmare spits out a real gem.
