I was five minutes into the excavation of my very first, procedurally generated Lucid Blocks map when I struck Dogblock, Catblock and S’more, in that order. I didn’t excavate them, actually. I conjured them by feeding gobbets of occult, dreamlike material into the “Apotheosis” magic circle that is possibly this sort-of-survival game’s crafting screen, and possibly a gateway to some astral sphere.
It was a slow burn, but I’m fully hooked on No Rest for the Wicked Together. Moon Studios has crafted a grimdark RPG that’s quite unlike anything else I’ve ever played. It’s mechanically an ARPG in the vein of games like Diablo, but it doesn’t feel like one. Its pacing and level design have more in common with Dark Souls, yet there’s a momentum to its flow and a vigor to its inhabitants that is very much its own. The introduction of co-op, which takes place on dedicated realms you share with your companions, was the final, magical spark it…
Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy. I dunno what it is, but I’ve never quite gelled with the Ossiarch Bonereapers. There’s something about the theme and design that just doesn’t really resonate with me. So it was a genuine surprise to me when the latest Underworlds warband landed at GamesRadar+ Towers and my immediate response was, “Oh damn, these are cool!”It was the quirkiness of the design of the Bone Brothers (not their actual name), with…
Hollow Knight: Silksong devs Team Cherry have put out what they’re aiming to be the “last significant update” prior to the Metroidvania’s first major expansion, Sea of Sorrow, arriving at some point this year. As with a fair few of Skong’s post-launch patches, it’s largely focused on translations.
Cheap is rarely the first word that comes to mind when thinking about Secretlab, with its premium gaming chairs and desks being more of an investment than a spontaneous purchase. Fortunately, there’s never been a better time to buy, as Spring Sale discounts across the Titan Evo and Magnus Pro send prices plummeting, saving you up to $129 / £94. Our current pick for the best gaming chair, the Titan Evo is already hard to beat, with its price being our only real reservation. With up to $100 / £100 off during the festivities, it shrugs off all criticisms, becoming…
While Skyrim might be the meme in Bethesda’s catalog due to how often it’s been ported, to me, Oblivion is the bigger landmark. It brought The Elder Scrolls to consoles and modernized a lot of the mechanics and design principles behind the series. A dev at the studio agrees, pointing to your quest against the Mystic Dawn as a pillar of what the team does creatively.Now a lead creative producer at Bethesda, Tim Lamb was a QA lead on Oblivion, and he remembers how the game felt revolutionary in development. “When we were developing that it felt like it had…
Exodus was announced as a fulsome narrative experiment with time dilation, aided and abetted by extremely non-AI-generated Matthew McConaughey – a story told over millennia-long time jumps, featuring super-evolved versions of human beings. But let’s face it, some of you are just here for the Mass Effect parallels raised by the presence of former BioWare devs on the ticket. The new sci-fi RPG’s latest footage, below, certainly leans into them.
How do you get a bigger inventory in Crimson Desert? It won’t be long into your Crimson Desert playthrough before you try to pick something up and are hit with the message that your inventory is full. Throwing away trinkets is never pleasant, especially if you aren’t quite sure what’s going to be useful down the line. The best way to ensure you don’t miss out on anything valuable is to increase your inventory size. There are a few ways to do this, and you can get to it as soon as you start playing, which you might want to…
Fallout 3 artist Istvan Pely says the game’s awkward DLC integration was something Bethesda wanted to make sure it got right when it came to expanding Starfield.If you’ve played Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas after purchasing the Game of the Year edition of either, you’ll be familiar with the DLC wave. In New Vegas, once you leave Doc Mitchell’s hut and gaze upon Goodsprings – and by extension, the wasteland – for the first time, it’s an impactful moment. Or rather, it would be, but instead you’re treated to a number of pop-up notices informing you of the DLC…
Reviews of Crimson Desert, the new open world fantasy RPG from Black Desert Online studio Pearl Abyss, are surfacing across the internet as you read these words. Out on 19th March, it’s the story of Kliff McDuff of the Greymanes, who is trying to rally his scattered comrades following a vicious attack by their rivals, the Black Bears. It’s one of those Much-Anticipated games, possibly because it appears to have inhaled the entire third-person action genre, with mechanics that range from sorcerous air-hopping through momentum-based damage to Dynasty Warriors-style crowd control. Predictably, this glut of ideas can feel a smidge……
