A veteran game designer has gone and released a full-on top-down dungeon crawling, open world, old school Ultima-style RPG with a boatload of modern conveniences for the low, low price of absolutely free. Moonring is a really simple to get into retro-RPG with some neat systems and a fun world to explore where five moons…
“A Clockwork Knight Christmas present”. Clockwork Knight is one of those franchises which never really achieved its full potential. The first game was released alongside the Sega Saturn in 1994, offering some neat 2.5D visuals but gameplay that felt firmly rooted in the previous generation. Despite this, it was popular enough to get a 1995…
There’s clearly one opponent in the Monster Hunter Wilds beta that towers over the rest, and that’s Arkveld, a massive white wyvern. Arkveld wasn’t fightable in the first beta—Wilds’ “flagship” monster is a new addition for the second open beta, and I think Capcom included it to put cocky and complacent hunters in their place….
After a long career in videogames that took him from Ren and Stimpy and Rocky and Bullwinkle to Dead Space and The Callisto Protocol (seriously, check his credits), Glen Schofield might have finally reached the end of the line. In a message posted to LinkedIn (via VGC), Schofield said he’d been working on a new…
Thankfully, for fans of Star Trek there are now plenty of decent games to play on PC if you fancy yourself as a budding Picard or Kirk, such as 2023’s Star Trek: Resurgence, but back at the turn of the century this was far from the case. One of the biggest culprits? Star Trek: Starship…
Back in September, Epic Games announced that it would enable “in-island transactions” in Fortnite, meaning that makers of Fortnite islands would be able to sell items directly from within their creations—part of an unspoken effort to make the game, and the revenues it pulls in, a little more Roblox-like. Originally planned to roll out in…
Gaming hardware today is more responsive and more sensitive than ever. We have mice with unthinkable polling rates, keyboards with instantaneous actuation, and monitors with minimal latency. But in recent years, Wi-Fi 7 has quietly arisen to become an crucial part of a gamer’s arsenal. With everything—from the latest iPhone 16, to AMD and Intel…
13 solid years ago, when PC Gamer global editor-in-chief Phil Savage was still grinding away as a lowly news guy, Crytek—which had purchased and rebranded Free Radical Design a few years earlier—gave a group of modders the official okay to make a “TimeSplitters CryEngine mod.” And like so many such projects, it floundered, popping up…
After Mania and before Adventure. The co-op adventure Sonic Superstars made its debut on the Switch earlier this week and if you’re curious to know where it slots into the overall history of the series, the head of Sonic Team Takashi Iizuka has now set the record straight. It apparently occurs after Sonic Mania and…
It’d be fair to say that, as a gaming genre, comedy has always been an under-explored one. While a staple of film and literature, gaming has rarely gone further than wise-cracking characters, pop-culture references, and shameless punning in its pursuit of entertainment. Ubisoft San Francisco’s forthcoming South Park: The Fractured But Whole continues Matt Stone…
