Ah, live service games. You put out a new feature, everybody complains about one thing or another, you say something like “we’ve heard your feedback” and change it the next time around. This, almost word for word, is exactly what’s happened with Arc Raiders’ and its impending second Expedition, the details of which have been outlined in a handy blog post from developer Embark. Expeditions, for the uninitiated, is essentially the extraction shooter’s take on prestiging, essentially resetting yourself back to the beginning, with a few bonuses to make that reset less of a full-on one. That feedback…
As the Rust Naval update finally sails into port, you’d be forgiven for assuming developer Facepunch Studios was ready for a break. More than 12 years on from its initial early access launch, the biggest survival game on Steam still hasn’t run out of ideas, and we’ve been treated to regular drops and expansions nearly every month over the past few years. The huge Naval update, however, was so big that it forced a rare delay – yet a new Rust roadmap shows that 2026 could well be its most exciting stretch yet. The new Rust update takes us onto…

I’ve never gelled well with the Sniper Elite series, as much as I do love a bit of goresploitation in my horror, it just has that kind of Mortal Kombat, slightly too realistic violence vibe about it that pushes it out of my comfort zone. But, I would still like to snipe! Sniping is always satisfying, that strange disconnect between your action and the reaction from a great distance away. So, Sniper Dan, a “family-friendly” hidden object game where you use a sniper to solve the problems of various townspeople, sounds like just what I’m after. In Sniper…

The line includes hundreds of games, ranging from household names like Pac-Man and Space Invaders to much more obscure, but historically significant…
It took them long enough, but Sony and Guerilla have finally announced that other online Horizon game (the one that isn’t an MMO), and it’s called Horizon Hunters Gathering. On the offset it sort of looks like a Monster Hunter clone gameplay wise, especially being a co-op action game, though there are some definite differences between the two. And there’s plenty of differences with the main series too, the most obvious being that radical art style change. I’m certainly for it, the Horizon games admittedly have quite nice colours but ultimately have a forgettable art direction, whereas this…
