As the Bob Dylan song goes, how many lush alien planets must a Man presumptuously land on and turn into poorly optimised Toyota plants before he finally decides he’s sick of being an extractivist piece of shit? Dylan was being rhetorical, but I studied at the school of Homer Simpson, and want you to give me an actual figure. I’m going to say: four and a half. If you’ve yet to hit your personal quota, well, here’s StarRupture out now in early access.
Care to kick off your new year with another potentially massive waste of time? I mean that in a good way. The best way, actually. As someone who benched their annual festive WoW Classic play for a renewed stab at Old School Runescape, if my Hardcore Ironman team doesn’t materialize in the next couple of days, Dreadmyst, a new indie MMO in the style of ’90s isometric point and click adventures, might become my next obsession. And with plenty more to come, it could very well be shaped into one of the best MMORPGs of the new year. Dreadmyst, a…

There’s a deep, dark, and milky secret about a handful of highly successful developers on Steam: Valve likes to send them chocolates at the end of the year. Rumors about Valve’s mysterious “chocolate tier” have become more prominent over the past year or so, and it very much seems that those whispers are true.Perhaps the most detailed breakdown of chocolate tier out there comes courtesy of games marketing consultant Chris Zukowski, who published a video in December laying out the basics as he understands them from speaking with developers over the years. According to Zukowski, Valve will send out a…
While it hasn’t taken as commanding a stranglehold over the world’s collective consciousness as its debut series did, the second helping of Amazon’s Fallout TV show is succeeding in helping drive a number of extra Steam players back to the wasteland. That said, a number of said wastelands being heavily discounted as part of the platform’s recently concluded winter sale likely hasn’t hindered those efforts.
Cry “Rock and Stone” and let slip the dwarves of war – Deep Rock Galactic is ready to reclaim its crown as one of the best co-op games on PC. The past year has been an incredible year for games designed to play with pals, and whether you love or hate the ‘friendslop’ term, your crew probably found a favorite or two among the likes of Peak, Repo, and Schedule 1. As we kick off 2026, however, I’m here to tell you that Deep Rock Galactic Season 6 is the perfect time to rediscover why it’s still a serious contender…
In what seemed to have taken no longer than the flip of a coin, Sebastian Stan has been confirmed to play the new Harvey Dent in Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II, following a recent leak. Now, The Hollywood Reporter’s newsletter has confirmed that the star better known as Bucky Barnes from the MCU is hopping the fence into another comic book universe that fans have been itching to return to since The Batman in 2022, and The Penguin spin-off series that kept us occupied last year.Stan will take on the ill-fated role of Harvey Dent, the District Attorney of…
I’m a bit tantalised by FPS Quest, but I do worry that it has already defanged its most interesting ideas. Developed by Farlight Games Industry, it’s a dungeon crawler in which your frame-rate “is your health”, with mistakes and damage causing slowness and stuttering. To regain health/frame-rate, you must do what you do when running any game on a potato PC – fiddle with the settings like you’re bargaining with an especially recalcitrant devil. This extends from lowering the quality of wall textures and characters, to plucking out whole pieces of environment. The more you do this,…
What does 2026 hold for The Sims 4 and long-teased spinoff Project Rene? Developer Maxis and publisher EA are seemingly cooking up some big plans for the coming months and years, and there’s probably some good and bad news depending on what brings you to the series. Personally, confirmation that Project Rene has now “evolved” into a social-focused, mobile-first game gets away from what I’m after. But the team says it’s “committed to single-player life simulation experiences,” and that’s where we’ll see the “next evolution” of The Sims. Part of the beauty of The Sims 4 and its predecessors is…
There has been a severe rumble online today, following news that Godzilla Minus Zero, the sequel to the jaw-dropping Oscar-winner Godzilla Minus One, finally has a confirmed U.S. release date.
