It isn’t very often that I feel like a stranger in videogames. Strange lands are ten a penny, sure, with fantastical flora and fauna that enjoy showing their teeth, but being in a place that feels familiar yet still I don’t belong is a totally different ballgame. Foxhole is that place for me; it’s people, doing people things that I’ve seen a thousand times over in movies and whatnot, but much like ants on a hill, I have no idea what’s going on. With the Airbourne update coming in hot, I decided to jump in and see if I could…

Valve has transformed Deadlock dramatically in recent months. First we got a rapid rollout of six new faces, just shy of half a year ago now. Then came a series of updates that reworked core systems such as laning and the progression system. The newest major update, dubbed ‘Old Gods, New Blood’, introduced the rapid Street Brawl game mode to the MOBA alongside another substantial overhaul, and the rollout of six more heroes. If you ask me, it feels like the studio turning onto the runway and preparing to fire up the engines for takeoff into early access proper. He…
“It’s important that our game doesn’t just feel like FromSoftware,” says Ryan Hill, creative strategist at Lords of the Fallen 2 developer CI Games, in a new developer update on YouTube about the studio’s upcoming Soulslike action RPG.Hill and three other CI Games devs liberally reference FromSoftware’s games and the recognized tenets of the Soulslike genre throughout their combat-focused discussion, but they also remain bullish on what separates their game from the genre it’s entering. We obviously haven’t played Lords of the Fallen 2 for ourselves yet, so who knows how it pans out in-game, but their intent is interesting.Hill…
“Who’s this?” I ask my partner, bringing up an image of Firecracker Ashe. Between us we have over a decade of combined League of Legends experience (not quite 200 years), but he falls silent. I skip to the next skin – Firecracker Caitlyn – and he’s equally as quiet. “Lauren, I’m not actually sure,” he replies, and while it immediately clicks when I confirm that it’s the two ADCs, we devolve into a mutual rant about skin clarity. As a duo bot lane, we regularly take turns playing these characters in Riot’s MOBA, yet from the splash art alone, we…
The rollout of Deadlock’s Old Gods, New Blood has come to an end, and the final hero of the player-voted rollout, Apollo, is upon us at last. Valve’s taken the occasion to share some stats on the event, including a few big numbers from the hero vote – and the fact that one very devoted Celeste fan dedicated an ungodly amount of hours to voting.Old Gods, New Blood introduced six new heroes, each released a few days apart in an order voted on by fans. Players earn votes by playing matches, with four extra votes awarded for the first win…
Steam user reviews are getting a super useful feature in the new beta version of the Steam and Steam Deck clients, with gamers now able to upload their PC’s hardware specs alongside their reviews. Not only does this give the option for a very public way to brag about your gaming PC, but it will mean reviews become a lot more useful, thanks to the added context. A game being review-bombed due to poor performance on old hardware? You’ll know if a review is just adding to that storm. Meanwhile, if a review references consistently poor performance even on high-end…

Right now, you can grab a 27-inch LG OLED gaming monitor for a ludicrously low price, thanks to a massive 41% drop on Amazon. Sure, the drop is from its peak price when it launched last year, but this is still a great value display that, as recently as December last year, cost $799.99, but is now under $500.
