This week in PC games: Marathon, Slay The Spire 2, a promising Disco-like RPG and a monastic garden mystery
Happy this week all! Some weeks, I do a couple of paragraphs of preamble before listing the new PC releases, but this week, there is no time, for the videogames are many, curious and capacious. Bungie’s latest shooter and the return of Spire are among the larger drops in a deluge that makes me yearn for the quieter, pre-broadband period when the global economy could only support one videogame a month, and they were all delivered to your PC by horse and cart. Without further ado, FEED THE MAW. Monday 2nd March Finally, a life sim that understands the medicinal…
Lenovo can’t stop making giant gaming handhelds. After storming onto the market with the Legion Go, which had an 8.8-inch screen and detachable controllers, the company has stepped things up another gear, this time hoping to take on the Steam Deck and its 7-inch screen with an enormous 11.6-inch folding-screen handheld, currently called the Legion Go Fold Concept. Tapping into the growing trend for folding screens in phones, the new Lenovo device can either be used with a Steam Deck-like 7.7-inch screen or folded out to its full 11.6-inch size. With detachable controllers, you can chop and change the setup…

Just in time for Resident Evil Requiem, speedrunner sets world-first record by beating 27 games in the series in one long, 55-hour run
However you prepared for Resident Evil Requiem, your process wasn’t as comprehensive as this. In what’s less of a speedrun and more of a speed-marathon, a dedicated Resident Evil fan managed to beat the main stories of every available game in the series on the trot, making him more than ready for more of Leon’s spinkicks.Streamer Maxylobes is the one responsible for this incredible feat of survival horror, dubbed the Resident Evil ‘Anthology’ speedrun. Starting with Resident Evil from 1996, he shambled his way through near enough every installment in the franchise, right up to Resident Evil Village, completing the…
Maybe it's time to accept the real Bloodborne remake is the friends we made along the way, following report FromSoftware said no to one
Bloodborne. It’s still not on PC. Perhaps a remake might bring it to PC. Ah. Nuts. Original developers FromSoftware reportedly turned down a Bloodborne remake pitch from recently shuttered PlayStation studio Bluepoint Games last year.
Before Resident Evil Requiem launched, it felt to me that Capcom had found a superb balance between fan service and originality, gruesome action, and tense survival horror. I had high expectations for it, as a result, but it absolutely surpassed those. You’ve no doubt seen the impressive review scores, the sky-high Steam player count numbers, and the general outpouring of positive sentiments for Resi 9, and now it’s squared up to a record held by Clair Obscur Expedition 33 that I didn’t think would be challenged for quite some time. On Metacritic, Resident Evil Requiem has matched its mighty 9.5…

Lenovo just teased a big silly folding handheld concept, and it's far from the Steam Deck rival I keep begging for
I doubt we’ll get any new best gaming handheld contenders during RAMageddon, but Lenovo just shared a new Lenovo Legion Go Fold concept. The peculiar portable uses a hinged POLED display that can help double up as a dual-screen device and even a laptop, but I can’t see it ever serving as a reasonable Steam Deck OLED alternative.In a new blog post, Lenovo describes the Legion Go Fold Concept as “designed for gamers who don’t have hours to sit in front of a TV or PC, or who don’t want to juggle both a laptop for work and a handheld…
Nearly a year on from release, Stardew Valley Baldur's Gate 3 modders provide a rare update on their Halsin romance
The creators of Baldur’s Village, a Stardew Valley mod revolving around a community of characters from Baldur’s Gate 3, have been pretty quiet since their work escaped being “mistakenly” zapped out of existence by Wizards of the Coast last April. Now, ahead of Baldur’s Village’s first birthday, they’ve provided a progress update on the Halsin romance arc they’ve been working on in the interim.
Pico Project Swan could be a game-changer for VR headset image quality, with beyond Apple Vision Pro pixel density
Pico has just announced the upcoming release of a new flagship VR headset that will offer a huge leap in image sharpness over its current flagship Pico 4 Ultra headset. The Pico Project Swan headset uses a new generation of microOLED displays that offer up a resolution of 4,000 pixels per inch (PPI), making them among the most pixel-dense displays available in any VR headset. While determining the best VR headset is about more than just resolution, overall image sharpness is a huge factor in making VR more realistic-looking and enjoyable, and the huge step up in sharpness that should…
