All the big giants of videogame creation are gathered here today to give you a good time. A new Humble Bundle that blends big-name studios is out and your purchase will benefit the Entertainment Software Association. Right at the heart of this bundle sits Pentiment, a unique gem that feels like stepping into a living Renaissance manuscript. Pentiment is a story-driven narrative in which you play as Andreas Maler, an artist caught in a web of intrigue and murder over several decades in 16th-century Bavaria. The most striking thing about this game is its visual art style, inspired by the…
Just over a month after launch, one million people have decided the chaotic PvP indie golf game Super Battle Golf is worth their eight dollars, and the developers are as surprised as anyone.Super Battle Golf, which I previously described as a marriage between Super Smash Bros. and Mario Golf, was a massive hit right out of the gate, quickly becoming one of Steam’s best-selling games of the year so far and garnering “very positive” reviews.The premise is enticingly simple: it’s golf, but instead of the turn-based PvP traditionally governing rounds between friends, everyone’s trying to land their balls into the…
Peak co-developers Aggro Crab and Landfall have suddenly released the Play It Your Way update, and with it comes the literally game-changing autosave feature.”Oh now this is peak,” as one fan of the climbing sim summarizes on Reddit. Players have been yearning for autosave – it theoretically makes your boneless climb up a hairy mountainside less horrifying. In their Steam patch notes, Peak devs explain they’re now making good on all those “long-requested quality of life features…but we snuck in some weirder stuff, too.” PEAK – PLAY IT YOUR WAY Update Trailer – YouTube Watch On As far as bowing…
I’m trying to convince my sister to, essentially, give up her life to me, because I need to collect all of my family’s swords, and doing so ultimately kills them. I’m already in the thick of things during my first moments playing At Fate’s End, the upcoming action-adventure-RPG from Thunder Lotus Games, so some of the specifics elude me, but the point is: tricky conversation to have.Rather than submit to my request, my sister instead tears her arm off in order to make a lightning sword. She’s going to make me work for it, and that includes some precisely timed…
Arc Raiders is finally getting its big Flashpoint update this week, on Tuesday, March 31, to be precise, and both Arc and raiders are getting beefed up alongside a new map condition and some much-needed crafting improvements. Of course, this is all in addition to the new quests, store bundles, and quality of life adjustments you expect from a big new update.The dubious highlight of the Flashpoint update is the new Arc type, the drone-like Vaporizer, which uses “devastating laser attacks and idiosyncratic attack patterns” as it stalks raiders from the sky. Players will also have to face their fears…
inZOI Studio lead Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim is in charge of one of the most promising, vivid life simulation games on the market – InZOI went into Early Access in 2025 – but he is unable to simulate affection for his apparently large and untalented son.GamesRadar+ recently attended a Q&A session at developer Krafton’s office in Seoul, where Kim explained that his son sucks (H/T IGN, whose transcription of the translated Q&A supplemented our own audio).After being asked what motivated him to create a life sim like inZOI, Kim talks about playing The Sims with his son, who he presumably loves.…
Like her cousin Kal-El/Superman, Kara Zor-El is one of the few survivors of the destruction of Krypton, an origin story that will have a big impact on the plot of this summer’s Supergirl film. Kara has her own history with Kryptonian society that is far different from Superman’s, having grown into a young woman before the planet was destroyed, and those differences will be key for her journey in the movie.”We do really thoroughly investigate Argo [the city where Supergirl was born] and Krypton,” Supergirl director Craig Gillespie tells EW. “It’s so fundamental to who she is as a person…

Neil Newbon, the actor best known as Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3, is giving Arc Raiders developer Embark its flowers for replacing AI voice lines with human ones.Newbon has been one of the most vocal critics of generative AI in the gaming community, having repeatedly slammed the tech as sounding like “crap” and imploring game studios to re-record AI voice lines with real human performances.Well, Arc Raiders studio Embark, which previously admitted to using AI-generated text to speech for some voice lines, has started following Newbon’s advice, and like the honorable person he seems to be, the actor is recognizing…
Pocketpair publishing lead John “Bucky” Buckley seems to be teasing an incoming April Fool’s joke, but if I’ve learned anything from Palworld April Fool’s jokes, it’s that they’re often not jokes at all.For April Fool’s Day 2024, Pocketpair revealed an anime-inspired Palworld dating sim visual novel. Everyone laughed and then dismissed it as an obvious April Fool’s Day joke, but then a year later, just in time for the 2025 holiday, Pal♡world! ~More Than Just Pals~ got a Steam page with an expanded gameplay trailer strongly suggesting that this thing is 100% real. After all, it’s very unlikely that Valve…
