I’ve not had a punt at Slay the Spire 2 myself yet, I’ve been too busy coming up with an excuse for not having played the first one, but the general read I’ve got on it is “it’s more Slay the Spire!” This can be interpreted much the same as a vote for Bart being a vote for anarchy, as far as I can tell too. There is multiplayer now too, of course, changing things up in a notable way through this mode, but so far, so generally familiar. In a new interview with Mega Crit co-founder Casey Yano…

I have ridiculously fond memories of Subnautica. Mark ‘Markiplier’ Fishbach and Seán ‘Jacksepticeye’ McLoughlin’s playthroughs remain some of my all-time favorite pieces of gaming content, enhanced by the fact developer-publisher Unknown Worlds Entertainment cooked with the gas on full. The Subnautica 2 pre-release content cycle has really ramped up in recent months, and now is the perfect time to delve into the hit survival game series if you haven’t already. ‘Why is that?’, you may ask. Well, starting today, you’ll be able to play Subnautica for free all weekend long, and both the OG and its 2021 follow-up, Subnautica Below…

Slay the Spire 2 feels a lot like the original hit roguelike deckbuilder, but among the new cards and classes, it did make an enormous change: multiplayer. And studio Mega Crit, as co-founder Casey Yano tells PC Gamer, is already feeling out some other new game modes that could be equally impactful.Right now, we have standard (and Ascension), daily, and custom runs, obviously with multiplayer slotted in. Yano teases “three specific things that I have in mind” for new modes, which he generally keeps close to his chest to avoid spoilers and, seemingly, to avoid setting hopes too high for…

I’ve never really been able to wrap myself around raising sim games such as the Princess Maker series. The framing of them feels like it could quite easily teeter over the edge into something uncomfortable, and in more modern entries such as Umamusume outright parasocial (and often exploitative). But lo and behold, a game enters my consciousness that fits within this very genre that looks absurdist enough to quell some of those concerns: Tomak: Save the Earth Regeneration, a rerelease of the 25-year-old game that sees you caring for the goddess of love who’s lost her body and is…

Nvidia DLSS 4.5 has just landed via the beta version of Nvidia App, bringing with it the ability to try out the company’s latest and greatest version of DLSS frame generation. Along with yet another improvement to upscaling image quality and the ability to deliver up to five “fake frames” with its 6x frame generation option, what really excited me about this release was the new Dynamic Multi Frame Generation feature. With it, you can unlock the frame rate-boosting ability of multi-frame generation (MFG), but without forcing it to be on all the time. Surely, I thought, it would be…

Pokemon Pokopia players have already figured out how to speedrun the cozy life sim, with the time to hit credits sitting at around three hours.YouTube creator PulseEffects has shared a video detailing how its done, and while the point of the game obviously isn’t to hit credits as fast as you can, it’s certainly interesting to see how such a laid back game can be minmaxxed like this.I won’t go into all the details here for the sake of spoilers (that’s what the video is for, if you wanna see ’em), but an early example includes not creating the biome…

I think it’s entirely possible that I have not known true happiness since going through the childhood experience of going to your local Easter egg hunt, and finding a facsimile of an egg you can later trade in for the chocolate variety hidden in the plainest of views (but you’re five, so you proudly show it to your half-interested parents none the wiser). I miss the thrill of the egg hunt. So lucky me, all I have to do is play Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor later this month, as the Vampire Survivors-esque spin-off is getting such a mission type…

We love basketball Roblox games – playing as your favorite NBA team is especially fun, since you can roleplay as any one of the greats on the court. That being said, NBA Champions Basketball codes can help you achieve greatness, allowing you to back up your delusions of grandeur with actual impressive gameplay. Codes can net you coins, experience boosters, and chests, meaning you can dress up to the nines and level up faster than anyone else around you. What’s not to like? Here are all the new NBA Champions Basketball codes: THREES – 5k coins TRADES – one All-Star…

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has finally blasted onto the big screen. While it’s not getting the same stellar reception as the first one, it’s safe to say the influx of marketing images has made me want to re-experience the iconic Wii games it’s based on.Nintendo must’ve known that myself and many others would feel this way, as it launched Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 on one Switch cart late last year. Not everyone was impressed by its price, which is why I’m glad I spotted today’s savings, which appear to have arrived at the best possible…
