A massive new Sins of a Solar Empire 2 update makes wide-reaching changes across the entire space strategy game, but I’m most pleased by Stardock’s decision to strip out the AI-generated art that was leaving an unpleasant taste on the rest of the experience. The huge ‘UI Horizons’ overhaul offers dramatic redesigns to the front-end menus, helping you better set up your next adventure. It also includes the much-requested return of an in-game map editor, modding improvements, improved enemy AI, and new defensive tools for all three factions. Sins of a Solar Empire 2 is a very robust sequel to…
Daredevil: Born Again season 2 may have come to an end, but that doesn’t mean it’s all over for the Man Without Fear. The explosive finale saw things to come to a head for Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, and it seems like things may have changed for good in Hell’s Kitchen.In short, a lot went down in the Daredevil: Born Again season 2 ending, which means that you might have some unanswered questions. We get into it all right here, from a breakdown of the plot to details on post-credits scenes and season 3.Look no further for your complete…
Due to work and a press trip, I am still only half way through redecorating the kitchen. The walls are now a lovely shade of terracotta, but dust sheets cover the floor, there are no doors on the cabinets, and paint pots and stained brushes litter the room. I just want to cook a meal on the hob. A single delicious hot meal. Alas, I am at a wedding this weekend and so the kitchen remains in limbo. Enough of my decorating doldrums. This is what the rest of the team are up to. JamesI quite like the look of…
May 3, 2026: A new Shinobi Way code just dropped after hitting 7.5k likes. The next is only around 1.9k likes away. Redeem these new Shinobi Way codes, and you’ll dramatically cut down on the number of ninja chores you’ll need to run to reroll for better traits and scary new skills. Shinobi Way is the first new Naruto-inspired RPG to make it big on Roblox in quite some time. Like those that were popular a few years back, this one has you train your skills as a budding ninja and work your way up through the ranks to master powerful…
A low-key paranoia developed in the Windrose community in the weeks after launch when players discovered that the game was writing a lot to their hard drives. Like, a concerning amount of data. So much data that you might start to fear for your SSD’s life. Luckily, the devs have addressed those concerns directly with a patch.The issues with drive usage have apparently been there since Windrose’s April 14 launch, and they were the subject of sporadic posts on the game’s Steam forums. It wasn’t until some tests from content creator Pixel Operative that the problem really started to gain…
A little while ago our deputy editor James ‘RAM-bo’ Archer said he wanted us all to get more involved with hardware criticism, because we all appear to think that videogames are powered by telluric currents and swearing. He offered me specifically the chance to write about a laptop – the relatively affordable (I stress, “relatively”) MSI Cyborg 14, loaned to RPS for a few weeks by Swipe Right PR. It was a grievous imposition, dealt out by somebody I had thought a friend. I do need a gaming laptop, and I am interested in the monstrous convolutions of…
Don’t fear, Slay the Spire 2, I will return. My obsession with the roguelike deckbuilder has been put on the back burner for the time being, however, because Die in the Dungeon 1.0 is finally here. It’s a moment I’ve been waiting for ever since I first tried the ‘dicebuilder’ back in 2023. Combining the now-familiar structure of interweaving paths through multiple regions with a unique combat system revolving around dice, it’s that gleeful blend of fresh and familiar that manages to feel at once comforting and challenging. If you’re a fan of Slay the Spire or other similar deckbuilders,…
PC gamers buy more cheap games than console gamers, and not just through the power of Steam sales, according to a recent report from analyst firm Newzoo. Full-price games that cost less than $30 are a much bigger chunk of the PC market compared to console gaming, and that segment is only growing year after year as cheap hits continue to crop up and hit even harder.Newzoo reports that the $30 – $50 bracket “leads across all platforms,” but the sub-$30 space “thrives on PC via breakout indies.”Since 2022, the report says, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox have actually seen relatively…
The Sunday Papers is our weekly roundup of great writing about (mostly) videogames from across the web. Sundays are for walking past a minivan full of Toy Story merchandise with purple, green and white livery and knowing, knowing in your marrow that the owner has named it “Bus Lightyear”. These are uncertain times, but any universe capable of materialising the concept of “Bus Lightyear” can’t be entirely beyond redemption. Anyway, here’s some stuff I’ve read this week. Khee Hoon Chan writes for Rascal about CrypticCrafter’s boardgame adaptation of horror videogame Inscryption (beware some spoilers for the latter, mostly in the…
GTA 6 is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated game releases of all time, with Rockstar Games delaying the game twice in an attempt to ensure it matches the hype around the game. Originally slated for a 2025 launch, Rockstar pushed the game back until November 2026 to give their team time to perfect their work, but with less than 200 days to release, a QA analyst has claimed that teams are working until the early hours of the morning to meet deadlines. Posted on Friday, May 1, the anonymous user alleged that while their job had perks, they…
