Where do I start? Death Stranding, as is true of just about anything Hideo Kojima works on, has been the subject of intense speculation since it was first revealed on stage at PlayStation’s E3 2016 press conference. With Kojima-san striking out on his own, starting a new studio (upon which he has staked his very…
Here at PC Gamer we’d basically given up all hope of ever seeing new Western Digital SSD’s. After waiting patiently for what felt like an age to witness the birth of the brand’s Gen 5 Black SSDs we were hit by the news that SanDisk was taking over the reins earlier this year. This wasn’t…
Vampire: The Masquerade—Bloodlines 2 offered an intriguing story when it finally released last year, but mechanically The Chinese Room’s vampire RPG felt a little anaemic compared to the wild kitchen-sink design of Troika’s original. Its combat, for example, revolved almost entirely around vampire-based fisticuffs, with guns and melee weapons reduced to disposable items wielded through…
But he won’t say who. Resident Evil fans have been pondering whether the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem will reintroduce series veteran Leon Kennedy, and while Capcom has remained tight-lipped on the subject, it has nevertheless confirmed that more legacy characters will indeed show up.

Some of the reasons behind this are all to do with saving manufacturing costs, but according to one company’s PR representative, it turns out…

Well, not exactly. The happy sploshing part, yes — and technically a shipwreck — but then you’re in for a calypso-tinged, cosy hangout with friends….
Neverness to Everness isn’t the type of gacha where you need to keep up with the meta to clear its mid and endgame challenges, but playing with the best characters and teams still makes combat a heck of a lot easier. With so many characters with unique roles, Esper types, and annoying new gacha terminology…
As is ever the case with FromSoftware DLC, part of the challenge with Elden Ring Nightreign‘s expansion is working out how to unlock The Forsaken Hollows. Thankfully, it’s nowhere near as cryptic as something like the Artorias of the Abyss expansion in Dark Souls, which was pretty much impossible to find unless you knew where…
The software portion of this month’s big NPD report is bigger than usual this month. For now, this is the sales charts for the time period of December 2019. You may notice that there are not as many chart categories as there normally is every monh. This is because those are part of the NPD’s…
