The next free game in the Epic Game Store’s Holiday Sale giveaway-a-thon is Melvore Idle, an “idle/incremental game” inspired by Runescape that blends casual click-here gameplay with a surprising level of complexity. Melvor Idle mimics Runescape’s skill system in many ways, and in fact it’s published by Jagex, which picked up the game in 2021….
The Dough Spectrum One has been one of my favourite high-refresh 4K gaming monitors since it first launched onto the market under the original Eve brand. Since then we’ve seen a second version with a glossy coating over the panel, sharpening the contrast and making its colours pop and enhancing its HDR experience. Now we’ve…
After my Baldur’s Gate 3 bonanza in August and September, I was Baldur’s Gate 3 hungover, and needed the videogame equivalent of a Full English Breakfast to fill the Baldur’s Gate 3-shaped hole in my being.

Last month, I got way too invested in a Mountain Dew. I searched multiple websites trying to get it delivered to my apartment, annoyed store clerks with questions about unstocked Dew they might have sitting “in the back,” recruited friends to scout out Walmart locations, and became an expert on the official online Dew tracker….
A gremlin in the works. Sheffield-based Gremlin Graphics is one of those names that will be instantly familiar to British gamers of a certain age – a bit like US Gold, Ocean and The Bitmap Brothers. During the ’80s and ’90s, the company was responsible for releasing a wide range of titles across various formats,…
Games That Weren’t rescues a lost piece of Codemasters’ history. Games That Weren’t, the incredible online resource for lost and cancelled games, shared the news earlier today that it has recovered a missing Amiga port of Codemasters’ side-scrolling platformer Stuntman Seymour. And better yet, it has made the files for the port available online, should…
Alan Wake 2’s captured the imagination of the gaming public for a lot of reasons—it’s downright gorgeous, but it also has Remedy’s penchant for blending genres, deftly mixing comedy and horror. This habit hits a high-point with Herald of Darkness, an in-game track so popular it was performed live at The Game Awards this year….
The Quersus Icos 1.1 is a bit of an odd beast. Upon looking at the promotional pictures on the website I was struck by two things: Firstly, despite its striking good looks and Darth Vader vibes it didn’t appear to have a whole lot of cushioning, so I wondered how comfortable it would be once…
You can always expect Baldur’s Gate 3 to deliver, even when what it’s delivering is as mundane as patch notes. Earlier today, Larian launched Hotfix #15 for its world-beating fantasy RPG, and the accompanying Steam announcement is gripping before we even get to the patch notes. “Have you found some characters’ faces turning into stretched…
