Arc Raiders is not a game that immediately reveals all to its players. Much of the experience in its early hours is cautiously sussing out where to find good loot and how and when to fight or avoid the Arc robots that patrol the surface. The tentative peaceful relationships formed with other raiders are just…
In a season that’s been a non-stop firehose of RPGs worth talking about, the two that I can’t get out of my head are Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and Starfield. Not often do you see a doubleheader of FPS RPGs that blend those genres in very different ways. We could be here all day debating…
I think, with the appropriate amount of hindsight, we can all agree that Starfield didn’t take off as the multi-year industry titan that Bethesda was hoping it would be. While I, and plenty of other players, got a reasonable amount of enjoyment out of it, it wasn’t quite in line with the studio’s other heavy-hitters….

Tell us your own thoughts. Yesterday saw the arrival of the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet – The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC and now that everyone has had time to play new expansion content, various impressions are doing the rounds on social media and elsewhere. So far it seems to have gone down quite…
When I got to play a preview build of upcoming 2D beat-’em-up Marvel Cosmic Invasion earlier this year, I was really blown away. Far from just a mindless button-masher, it’s shaping up to be a colourful celebration of what makes Marvel’s superheroes cool and unique. Now you can try it for yourself—the game’s first public…
Beating the Fourth Chorus in Hollow Knight: Silksong requires you to put on your thinking cap, though admittedly only at a jaunty angle. This is the first boss you’ll face in Silksong that actually has a bit of a gimmick, and you’ll have to do something very specific to conclude the fight. It doesn’t help…
Final Fantasy 14‘s G’raha Tia is the sexiest man. Also, in unrelated news, his English voice actor Jonathan Bailey has been named the sexiest man alive by People Magazine. You might be shocked as I was (appalled as I was, mortified as I was) to discover that People Magazine, a publication for normal, well-adjusted readers,…
Today Bethesda posted a recap of the year Starfield has had in the form of a few fun facts: in 2023 players visited a collective 1.9 billion planets, spent 26 million hours building ships, and ate more than 18 million battlemeal multipacks. (Weirdly, no sandwich tally was provided.) The same post also sheds more light…
