The proxy vs VPN question is one that anybody who has tried to get around online restrictions will have had to ponder. They’re the only real solutions available, and if you don’t know a lot about cybersecurity, you might essentially just write them off as being essentially the same thing. However, there are important distinctions between the two, and I’m here to break them down for you. What is a proxy? Proxy servers are typically used to circumvent restrictions on internet traffic. Many of us will have encountered them while we were in school as a way to get around…
Using the Helldivers 2 Supply Pack on yourself isn’t especially intuitive since there are no clear button prompts, but you just need to tap the D-Pad or follow the resupply button prompt for teammates. The Supply Pack is also one of the best backpack Stratagems to use if you don’t have the Warp Pack or don’t fancy a heavy weapon with its own backpack ammo supply, so it’s good to know exactly how it works and how to use it in Helldivers 2.How to resupply with the Supply Pack in Helldivers 2 (Image credit: Sony)To use the Supply Pack on…
Sometimes, the world you live in sucks. It is a place filled with despair, and misery, and blood, guts, and death. This is much the case with the world of Mörk Borg, an apocalyptic fantasy TTRPG where you have no sense of hope, only dread, that is now also a video game. This video game, Mörk Borg Heresy Supreme, is more of an action RPG, though its tabletop routes are still to be found, and it is as mean as it is darkly enchanting. Stylistically it very much takes after its original book form, using only black, white,…
Why Playground Games' ambitious open-world Fable reboot is a fresh start for the series: "This has to be Playground's Fable"
It’s been five years since a fairy, a sword, and a toad signaled the long-awaited return of Fable, now with Forza Horizon developer Playground Games at the helm. With the revival set to land in autumn 2026 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, the studio can’t wait to welcome players back into Albion – almost a decade after it started looking beyond the open world racing games it was known for.”The first conversations we had about doing something other than Forza Horizon and building a second team go right the way back to the year after we shipped Forza…
After pulling Taiwanese horror game Devotion from sale in 2020, GOG say they find their decision "difficult to reflect on"
Soon after it launched in 2019, Taiwanese horror game Devotion was pulled from sale following some controversy regarding Chinese president Xi Jinping and Winnie The Pooh (long story). It was made available for purchase again a couple of years later, though it should have been a touch earlier than that as it was promised to be released on GOG late 2020. However, on the same day it was announced to be returning, GOG put out a statement saying they wouldn’t be releasing it after all. Now, half a decade on from that, managing director Maciej Gołębiewski reflects on the…
Fable's open world contains over 1,000 NPCs, much to the horror of the RPG's art team who had to make a bed for each one of them: "They need what now?"
The upcoming Fable reboot is approaching the original trilogy’s whacky life sim elements in an interesting way. Developer Playground Games has handcrafted 1,000 NPCs and dubbed them ‘The Living Population’ since each of them will apparently react to your heroic or evil landlording deeds differently, much to the horror of the studio’s art department, who were then tasked with making 1,000 beds, give or take a few.Speaking to GamesRadar+ about the ambitious fairytale game, studio general manager Ralph Fulton says the team “knew that we wanted every NPC to be persistent, which is to say, you could, if you were…
Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred gives its devs "a chance to just get really horrible, and I say that the best way possible"
It’s been nearly three years since Diablo 4 first launched, and our five-star Diablo 4 review goes to show this hack and slash is a return to form and then some.With no sign of slowing down, its second expansion is about to burst onto the scene like loot flying from a chest. Releasing on April 28, it invites players to journey to the islands of Skovos for the first time in Diablo’s history. This realm, a panoply of rainforest and volcanic areas, was first mentioned back in Diablo 2, as the homeland of the Amazon warrior, but we’ve never got…
Far and Herdling devs' next release is an already satisfying and tactile roguelike deckbuilding pinball game
Roguelike deckbuilders! They’re everywhere! It’s a bit of an epidemic, honestly, sorting the wheat from chaff is a tough job. Of course, once in a while a genuinely novel take on the genre rolls around, and PinKeep has done just that, a pinball game where you change the playfield as you progress through runs. And it’s from the devs behind the Far series and Herdling! The pinball element is likely self explanatory. There’s a ball, it gets shot off, and you have two flippers to hit it with, nothing new there. It’s everything else around it that’ll have you…
A raucous relief from Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's fussy combat, medieval combat sim Half Sword is finally launching for real
Not many games can claim to boast a demo count that’s stayed in the thousands for almost a full year, but Half Sword is a special beast. Steam players have been revelling in its brutal, gory take on medieval combat since it first went viral over two years ago, but a major update back in April 2025 saw its popularity explode again. Ever since, the Half Sword tech demo has held onto more than 5,000 active players, making it one of the most consistently popular trial versions on the Valve store. Now, it’s finally coming out for real. If you’ve…
Fable lets you enter and even buy any building in its world because that was one of the "requirements that we took from the original games," dev says
The new Fable, this time rebooted by Forza Horizon maker Playground Games, is surprisingly faithful to Lionhead Studios’ original classics despite coming more than a decade after the last mainline game, right down to the fact that you can become a property hoarder and buy every single building in the open world of Albion. But the studio’s general manager says the feature was basically one of the “requirements” the devs held on to from the first trilogy.Being able to buy any building of course leads to fun RPG possibilities, like letting players roleplay as a penny-pinching landlord or, as the…
