There are reasons to be cautious about Borderlands 4. Even if we forget about the execrable Borderlands movie for a second, since it’s not like Eli Roth’s going to be involved with the next game, Borderlands 3 was underwhelming and New Tales from the Borderlands didn’t win folks back. But between Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands and…
File this under “oddly satisfying”. At last night’s Wholesome Snack: The Game Awards Edition 2025 showcase, the publisher TinyBuild and developer Mandragora announced a new narrative-based simulation game, called ReStory, that will let players run their very own electronics repair shop in Japan to dismantle, clean, and fix a bunch of nostalgic devices.

It’s not often a GPU cooler design makes me do a double-take, but here we are. The MSI GeForce RTX 5060 8G Cyclone OC has made my head involuntarily rotate for two reasons this morning—firstly, because it looks wildly different to what you might think of when it comes to graphics card designs, and two,…
Nightmares and Dreamscapes. The Metroidvania revival (did it ever really go away?) keeps rolling, and here comes another stylised combat-platformer where a strange little hero gets lost in a dark, labyrinthine fantasy world. This time, our protagonist is John, who stumbles into a bizarre realm full of somnambulist weirdos and giant babies. Studio Cima has…
The rise of voice chat in online videogames has inevitably led to a growth in bad behavior between players—it is, after all, a lot easier to scream slurs and abuse at other people than it is to stop playing and type them out. Moderating that sort of toxicity is tough, and some companies are turning…
What I’ve found to be a good rule of thumb is this: If I wouldn’t want my kid sister to see it, then I probably shouldn’t put it on the internet. For you, that someone may be a parent or guardian, but after hearing my own mother thoughtfully critique the writing of the Yakuza 0…
Dune: Awakening’s sandworms aren’t just scary, they’re the most brutally punishing feature of Funcom’s new survival MMO. When you get eaten by a sandworm, you permanently lose all your stuff. Weapons, armor, tools, gear, your entire inventory gets swallowed up when Shai-Hulud sucks you down, and you can’t go back and recover it. Even your…
