Are Skyrim and Baldur’s Gate 3 immersive sims? If you’re asking one of the guys that created Dishonored, yes

The infinite debate about what is and isn’t an immersive sim continues to rage on, as one of the co-creators of Dishonored says he thinks Skyrim is one. Immersive sim, as a genre, is a really hard one to define. I’m not even going to try to define it in any meaningful way for you, […]

It’s not just Helldivers 2 players that’re disappointed with how the Escalation of Freedom update’s played out, Arrowhead’s CEO says many devs are too

Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead’s CEO has revealed that it basically seems like close to no one – players or developers – involved with the game has been left happy following the deployment of the Escalation of Freedom update and the backlash that’s followed. If you’re out of the loop, the inclusion of some nerfs to […]

Valve still isn’t talking about its much leaked hero shooter – despite the fact almost 17,000 people played it over the weekend

Valve needs to start talking about its frequently rumoured and leaked hero shooter Deadlock, because 17,000 people can’t just be playing nothing. We’ve known about Valve’s next game, supposedly titled Deadlock, for quite a while now, with a trademark even having been filed back in June for the game’s name by the developer. But even […]

Fallout: London’s first big patch stops you from cheekily hacking the John Bercow bot, and makes trying to pet the mangy foxes a bit less lethal

The first big patch for Fallout: London has now arrived and is full of fixes for the various technical teething issues which afflicted the launch version of the mod, just as Team FOLON had said it would be. This should mean you’re finally able to drop into Blighty without having to worry about running into […]

To the surprise of literally no one, Borderlands bombs at the box office its opening weekend with… yeesh, $16 million on a $115 million budget

Uh oh, the Borderlands movie is off to an incredibly rough start, as the box office figures point all sign towards a flop. I think it’s pretty safe to say that Borderlands is a pretty popular series, right? Do we all agree there? It has to be, otherwise the idea of making a movie adaptation […]

Finally some good news! Krafton Inc, the South Korean games company best known for its work on PUBG and The Callisto Protocol – has acquired Tango Gameworks and the award winning Hi-Fi Rush IP from Microsoft ahead of the studio’s closure.

It sounds like we won’t be playing as Geralt in The Witcher 4, according to his voice actor – but that doesn’t mean he won’t be in it

Everyone’s favourite witcher Geralt of Rivia will be in The Witcher 4… it’s just sounding like he won’t be the main character. When The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt first came out… almost 10 years ago (holy moly I’m getting old), it was clear by the end of the game that it was meant to be […]

The 10th anniversary of Life is Strange is fast approaching: in January next year it’ll have been a full decade since Max, Chloe, and co. first entered our lives and, in many cases, won our hearts. For many of us who really loved Life is Strange upon first encountering it, it’s fair to say that […]

How, against all expectations, The Outlast Trials has made my very stressful summer a bit more manageable

My summer has been a bit miserable so far. Work is (somehow) good. Personal relationships are going well. But everything else has either kind of sucked or felt exhausting. In this situation, you’d think I’d be checking out something calm like Stardew Valley (yes, I’ve yet to touch it) outside of my work commitments. Think […]
