Slay the Spire 2 is on its way in 2025, marking both the return of the king of roguelike deckbuilders and the definitive end to your free time. I’m so sorry. After entering early access in 2017, Slay the Spire landed itself a reputation as something of an indie masterpiece, and in the process managed…
If you feel like we’ve been here before, then well done for being perceptive because we have. Rockstar announced yesterday that GTA 6 was getting delayed again, and is now scheduled for November 19, which seems like an eternity away. As you can imagine, GTA 6 fans have been reacting really normally to this news….
Stella Deus: Time of Alchemy is out today on Nintendo Switch in Japan. Earlier this week, G-Mode announced it would be reissuing another rare mobile spin-off to Atlus’s 2004 tactical RPG, Stella Deus, as a G-MODE Archives+ title for Nintendo Switch and PC (thanks Gematsu!).

If you’re a fan of 27-inch 1440p, and an awful lot of PC gamers are, this might just be the monitor bundle for you. LG is offering its latest ultra-fast and extra bright OLED model at its normal price but throwing in a decent 200 Hz IPS model for free. Key specs: 27-inch | 2560…
What is a man?! Gaming franchises really don’t get much more iconic than Castlevania. First launched as Akumajō Dracula for the humble NES on 26th September 1986, the series has now turned 40 years old. And despite a few ups and downs (it really felt like it was dead and buried for a while there,…
I’ve just learnt what Gaussian Splatting is, and I fear it may become my entire personality. At the risk of oversimplification, Gaussian Splatting is a rendering technique that gives you ‘photo-real’ graphics at a fraction of the resource cost required by a number of other mainstream game development options.

Cavern club. We are one week closer to the 5th November launch of Ocarina of Time on Switch 2, so that means it’s time for my second replay catch-up. For those who missed my adventures Inside the Great Deku Tree last week, I’m replaying the original OoT, one dungeon each week, in the run-up to…
