There’s a new Humble Bundle in town, and if you’ve been circling Galactic Civilizations 4 for a while, the timing is perfect for you. With new DLC continuing to roll out, the bundle drops the base game down to just $2.57 / £2.33 ($18 / £16.32 for the whole thing) which is by far the cheapest it’s ever been available at before. Galactic Civilizations 4 is a classic 4X: explore, expand, exploit, exterminate (there are more ex’s here than in my love life), but with other interesting gameplay aspects to keep things interesting. For instance, the galaxy is split into…

I sometimes feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone when it comes to the best graphics cards today. The price of premium Nvidia and AMD GPUs is bad enough, but the fact that there’s a market for power supply cables that are less likely to melt when connected to the latter is just ludicrous.That’s not to say I blame Asus for creating the ROG Equalizer, a freshly announced 12v-2×6 PCIe power cable that expands its GPU load capacity from 9.2 amps to 17A, but I’ve no idea how we got to this stage. For context, the situation stems back to…

I still vividly remember the launch of Apex Legends back in February 2019, when developer Respawn Entertainment dropped it basically out of nowhere. Rumors of a Titanfall-related battle royale game had been swirling for a while, but it still managed to cross the finish line mostly unscathed, save from some last-minute chatter out of preview events. Fast forward to today, and Apex Legends still sits in the top five most-played Steam games. In fact, after a couple of years of slight stagnation, it’s actually trending upwards again. This weekend, on Saturday April 11, the Apex Legends Steam player count broke…

Former Xbox executive Ed Fries has suggested that many a Japanese game publisher wanted to support Microsoft’s first console, but feared “Sony could punish them” if they did too much.Ed Fries was the console manufacturer’s vice president of game publishing during much of the original Xbox’s life, and had a huge hand in the acquisition of studios such as Bungie (Halo), Rare (Banjo-Kazooie), and exclusives from outside developers.When asked if there were any games he regretted letting slip away in an interview with Expansion Pass, Fries said the Final Fantasy series “is really up there” as he pretty frequently met…

What are the GTA 5 requirements? The graphical improvements introduced in the enhanced edition bring some long-desired features, but at the cost of elevated system requirements over the original 2015 specs, particularly for the recommended requirements. You won’t need the best graphics card from our buying guides to get Grand Theft Auto 5 running, even with the big performance upgrades that arrived with GTA 5 Enhanced. Ray tracing, FSR, and DLSS support for the game have, however, pushed the game’s original system requirements way beyond what was originally demanded, and in so doing, relegated older gaming laptops and PCs to the…

One of the most exciting new games on the horizon is Prove You’re Human, from the acclaimed developer behind 1000xResist and a new publisher from the folks behind Slay the Princess. Both parties believe hyper-realistic graphics often feel uncomfortable, but that’s exactly the feeling they’re chasing in the upcoming horror.Prove You’re Human is a unique concept indeed. Set inside what looks like a Windows desktop background with its lush, rolling hills, an AI robot wearing a woman’s face desperately wants to convince you she’s a human. A real human. Her design alone is rooted deeply in the uncanny valley -…

The Elder Scrolls 6 and long-time Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard apparently touches every part of the developer’s games during production, and struggles not to, in fact, according to one former Skyrim lead.”He’s struggled throughout his entire career in this letting go process,” Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith said while talking about Howard’s leadership style in an interview with Kiwi Talkz.”I mean, if what I said earlier is, he had a light touch on everything and then deep dives into the things he wanted. That’s a light touch literally on everything, which means that one of the issues that…

Having a successful launch as an indie developer is the moment where you get to breathe a sigh of relief, but it also comes with problems – especially if you’re primarily working alone. Road to Vostok is a brutal survival shooter with permadeath, has heavy Escape From Tarkov and Stalker vibes, and it comes from Finish soldier turned solo dev Antti Leinonen. Five days on from its launch, he reveals that its “extremely successful” start has “secured the entire development roadmap,” but admits that he’s been overwhelmed by the flood of responses from players. Fortunately, he’s already taking a healthy…
