The Rust ‘Built Different’ update has just landed, bringing with it the most substantial upgrade to its player models in years. Sporting fresh animations to boot, characters are far more realistic, though I always found their kinetic jank to be part of the Rust experience. Alongside the revamp, Facepunch has brought a new top-tier armor set and a classic assault rifle to the fore. “The old player model has served us well for almost 10 years, but it’s lagged behind the rest of the game for some time,” Facepunch notes in its new update blog. Rust has had its fair share…
When you reach Upper Junon in FF7 Rebirth, you’ll be made to don a Shinra soldier disguise before being wrangled into the military parade.It’s a hefty distraction, but you’ll need to locate all of the Shinra soldiers that are supposed to be a part of the parade – they’re spread around Upper Junon’s streets and shops – and you’ll also need to place them into the correct parade formation.It’s no small task, and if you don’t know what you’re looking for, you could spend ages looking for soldiers, and potentially even get a rubbish performance grade for the parade. Do…
After Sega issued copyright strikes on some supposed Persona 6 leaks, all eyes are on a potential Summer Game Fest reveal. And now, prominent leaker Nate the Hate is claiming that we should be seeing it on Sunday.Over the last few years – after over a decade of not supporting the platform – Atlus and RGG Studio have gotten cozy with Xbox for most of its major reveals. Persona 5 ports, Persona 3 Reload, Persona 4 Revival, and Metaphor ReFantazio were all revealed at Xbox Game Showcase events, and now everyone’s looking to Xbox for more news about Persona. While…
Valve has finally released its Steam Store home page refresh, and it’s all looking very shiny. There’s been a big focus on visual consistency, and the new, larger tiles seem to be a perfect fit for some Steam controller scrolling (Valve, I’m still waiting for my turn, please help a fella out). However, in all of the redecorating, one major algorithmic change could make it harder to find your next indie game binge. “Over the years we’ve introduced new sections and added more ways for you to discover and learn about games,” Valve writes, “and this update aims to make…
I hunt down cheap gaming laptop deals every month, and I’ve noticed a not-so-surprising trend. Well, what do you know? Everything’s more expensive now.I know, groundbreaking.For most of the year, though, we’ve been somewhat buffered in the world of the best gaming laptops. Not by new releases, oh no. But older 2025 machines have stuck to their discounts pretty well, holding the line against the rising costs of new releases. The HP Omen Max 16 offered better value than the new HyperX Omen Max, and the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14’s 2026 price tag flew over the previous generation’s head. Something…
Grab spins and diamonds without subjecting yourself to the fight pits with these new Elemental Magic Arena codes. This gam is a little like Slap Battles, a staple of the Roblox platform, but with magical powers. You choose an element from the lengthy walkway of a lobby, then jump into the open battlefield to pit those powers against the entire server. Calling it a level playing field would be a stretch, but it’s pretty close. Here are the latest Elemental Magic Arena codes: 80KLIKES – three rerolls 50MVISITS – 50 Diamonds If you need a little break after a few…
One of the most difficult fights in Final Fantasy 14, an Ultimate raid from Shadowbringers, has just met its match in a static comprised entirely of casters and healers.If you’ve ever done The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate) yourself, then you probably know how challenging it can be. I still have nightmares about the wormhole phase to this day, and it’s been literal years since my group took on the revamped Heavensward bosses. That raid – the one that took me a whopping three months or so to finally clear – is apparently easier to some of than others, though… A…
Just under 1000 days ago, or about two and a half years ago if you measure time like a normal person, Microsoft completed their acquisition of Activision Blizzard following a lengthy legal process. It cost $68.7 billion and meant Xbox’s parent company now lorded over the likes of Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Overwatch. Not a small thing for the corporate behemoth to have done, then. Looking back in 2026, was it a shrewd move? Well, amid some bigging up of the series I just mentioned, current Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has said it’s “hard to say how…
Fresh Dota 2 patch notes have just dropped, and that means the meta will start to creak and shift under the weight of Valve’s latest balance adjustments. There are some welcome changes in Dota 2 update 7.41d, along with a few that I’m sure people will question, and even a nice quality-of-life buff. The line that’s got people talking, however, is a mysterious footnote for Axe that doesn’t appear to have any current meaning. Is it a clue hinting at the next addition to the MOBA? My heart tells me yes. Before we get into the actual winners and losers…
