On paper, relics are one of the more interesting mechanics in Elden Ring Nightreign, providing a collection of passive modifiers to choose from that expands with every run you complete, successfully or otherwise. In practice, however, most of the randomized relics you earn at the end of an expedition are only fit for the wastebin….

A proper scenery chewer. Hooray! Splatoon 3 is one of our favourite Switch games and today it got a snazzy (free) Switch 2 upgrade which, as we reported earlier, takes advantage of the extra power of Nintendo’s new machine.

Valve has released the Steam year in review for 2024, in which the platform holder drowns us all in lovely stats and gives a snapshot of how we behave on the de facto PC gaming standard. Turns out people really love their Steam Decks! One of the most interesting deep-dives comes near the end, when…
On the long list of crimes for which I am responsible, a single entry is king: I have barely played more than an hour of Hades 1 in my life. Is it because I’m a bad person? Yes, but also I feel like I missed the boat on it a little bit. Gone are the…
