Helldivers 2 is everyone’s favourite live-service game right now, but it almost wasn’t one

Ignoring that whole PSN thing recently, Helldivers 2 is probably everyone’s favourite live-service game right now – but it wasn’t originally meant to be. Yeah, alright, sure, some players were unhappy about needing to connect a PSN account to their PC copy of Helldivers 2, but for the most part everyone is still loving it. […]

Managed to get access to Marvel Rivals’ alpha? Make sure you don’t criticise it, as that contract you signed doesn’t let you

Marvel Rivals is finally in player’s hands, except the contract they have to sign to play the alpha technically doesn’t let them say anything bad about it. Obviously developers never want people to say bad things about their game, but in general, it comes with the territory. Not everything is going to be for everyone, […]

Is No Rest for the Wicked worth a punt on early access, or should you wait for the full release?

I have mixed feelings about the early access model. It’s a great way for studios to get projects off the ground, a much needed part of the funding mix in an age of ballooning budgets and perilously long development cycles. But as a consumer, you’re essentially paying to be a play tester. So while I’m […]

One year on, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom still doesn’t feel like a sequel – it’s a second act

Over the several years that Nintendo spent marketing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it never felt particularly clear just how the game differed from Breath of the Wild. Eventually we were made privy to a few tidbits about how mechanics worked, but there was still so much hidden from us, namely what […]

It might have taken almost four years, but Cyberpunk 2077 is finally heading into “overwhelmingly positive” territory on Steam

Cyberpunk 2077 infamously had an awful launch, but some recent positive reviews have put the game in a much better position. At the time of writing, Cyberpunk 2077 is currently sitting at an “overwhelmingly positive” rating for recent reviews. For those that don’t know, that means at least 95% of the most recent 7000 reviews […]

Fallout 4’s next-gen update is broken, but don’t worry, some fixes are coming next week

History repeated itself when Fallout 4’s next-gen update arrived broken, but Bethesda has promised an update is coming next week. It must be written in a contract somewhere that anything Bethesda does with Fallout 4, it has to be buggy as all hell, because that’s the only reason I can imagine the game’s next-gen update […]

Oh dear, Ghost of Tsushima will be releasing in almost 180 fewer countries on Steam thanks to its PSN requirement

The Helldivers 2 PSN fiasco might be over now, but it seems that Ghost of Tsushima won’t be releasing in nearly 180 countries on Steam due to its PSN requirement. For a long while now, PlayStation has been finding quite a lot of success by releasing its first-party titles on Steam, even if the ports […]

As everyone waits for Bungie’s new take on Marathon, the original games come to Steam for free

While you wait for Marathon, why don’t you play Marathon, the classic Bungie shooter that’s currently free on Steam. It’s coming up to a year now since Bungie announced it was bringing back Marathon, one of the studio’s earliest titles and an important ’90s shooter in its own right. There hasn’t been a new entry […]

Large Manor Lords patch contains plenty of fixes, new mechanics, a new unit, upgraded buildings and armor, more

Slavic Magic has released an experimental patch for Manor Lords, and it comes with plenty of fixes, new game mechanics, and some upgrades. The patch addresses some of the more commonly reported issues such as the rate of Hildebolt’s claims, the “None” people spawning in huge numbers and refusing to do any work, clogged Trading […]
