There are certainly some weird and wonderful Steam tags. ‘Cult Classic’ has always struck me as a little bit odd: Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 1 is tagged as a ‘Classic,’ but surely, if any game is the literal definition of ‘Cult Classic,’ it’s Troika’s RPG. Then there’s ‘Illuminati,’ which prompts even more questions. Is this game made by the Illuminati? Is it only for the Illuminati? How would I ever know, I’m not Beyoncé. In a recent purge, Valve has gone through Steam’s game tags and purged 28, adding 17 more while also merging some that effectively mean the…
Lego Batman 4: Legacy of the Dark Knight is the first Lego game dedicated to the Caped Crusader in over a decade, and it’s a massive leap over what we’ve previously seen from the series.It’s visually stunning, with a huge open-world city to explore that hides literally hundreds of secrets and collectibles. You can clear through the main story’s missions pretty quickly, but if you want to collect everything, you’ll be dedicating a lot of time to the game.In this guide, we’re breaking down how long it’ll take you to beat Lego Batman 4: Legacy of the Dark Knight –…
Subnautica 2 is finally here, and although its launch has arguably been more than successful, with two million copies selling in just 12 hours and thousands of positive Steam reviews, not everyone is happy about the game’s lack of violence.You might be thinking, “Lack of violence? But what about the terrifying sea creatures that threaten to destroy you and your base?” Well, I’m talking “lack of violence” as in lack of our violence. We can’t fight back or take on any of the beasts that lurk in the survival game’s oft unforgiving waters, and a lot of folks wish we…
They’ve come around to get their gigantic collection of Ratchet and Clank plushies. Their dad’s in the car, so you don’t want to cause a fuss. Still, as they hastily pack a cuddly Clank away in a carrier bag, you can’t help but ask. Was it something I said? They turn to you, tears welling in their eyes. I just want to keep my big singleplayer games exclusive for a little bit, they say. They think doing so will be good for them. But we have such a good thing going with the likes of Helldivers 2, you protest. The…

LG has whipped up what it believes to be the “world’s first” 1,000Hz 1080p gaming monitor, and the only question in my head is a resounding “why?” I don’t like being a grump when it comes to absurd refresh rates made for esports-style gaming, and I do dabble a little in Overwatch myself. Nevertheless, I’m not convinced it’s a panel even competitive players will care about right now.Introduced in a press release, LG claims the 24.5-inch UltraGear 25G590B is the “world’s first Full HD gaming monitor with a native 1000Hz refresh rate.” By that, the screen maker means it’s not…
The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 have gotten ample attention for their whizbang Unreal Engine features and potential major cast resurrections, but one of their key ‘enhancements’ may seem horribly dry: their creation will be much, much better documented than any Witcher or Cyberpunk game before. This also means that they will be a stronger foundation for Witcher and Cyberpunk games to come. Both games are following a new production process that obliges the devs to keep their internal development notes up to date, from milestone to milestone – whether it be a narrative bible, a tool guide or…
Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced actor Matt Ryan has said that he “would love,” to play Edward Kenway in live-action in an Assassin’s Creed movie.The actor, who has returned to the role after over a decade in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, spoke to VGC earlier this month.Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced includes newly written and motion-captured scenes and missions, which also feature a newly recorded performance from Ryan.When asked about the potential of playing Edward Kenway in a live-action capacity, Ryan said he would jump at the chance.“I would love to do a live-action version,” Ryan said.“That would have…
“When you do something, you never know quite what it’s going to become.” For Matt Ryan, the performer behind Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced anti-hero Edward Kenway, that rings particularly true. Much has changed since he first started working on the role 15 years ago; Ubisoft’s fortunes, the role of the mocap performer, and the Assassin’s Creed series itself have all been transformed. But, in spite of that change, Ryan is clearly thrilled to be returning to the Caribbean.Ryan’s own journey to Resynced hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing. The long-rumored Black Flag remake was, by Ubisoft’s own admission, its “worst-kept…
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced already feels historic, and we’re not just talking about it being set in the Age of Piracy. Originally the fourth numbered entry in the series, Black Flag quickly became a firm fan-favorite thanks to its swashbuckling action and sunny (though sometimes viciously stormy) Caribbean-set open world. After the divisive Assassin’s Creed 3, it felt like a real return to form.Now, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is on the way July 9, and it’s the first proper remake Ubisoft has done for the series (though there have been several remasters). What does it mean to be…
