I didn’t think Crimson Desert could get me more excited than it already has, but developer Pearl Abyss has proven me a fool once again. I’ve been eager for the vast, open-world action RPG to finally arrive ever since I forced my way through the Saturday crowds at Gamescom 2024 to spend a second hour with its intense boss battles. But I hadn’t anticipated just how deep its systems go. In the last part of its Crimson Desert features overview series, the team walks us through life in Pywel, showcasing everything from camp building to character customization, and what’s on…

As per Sony’s accompanying blog post on the upcoming game, it’s a 2D action platformer following Kratos’ youth as he trained at the Agoge alongside his brother, Deimos. Although it’s visually different from the mainline series, the…
There is certainly something to be admired in Peter Molyneux’s commitment to infinitely overpromising right through to what is meant to be his final game, Masters of Albion. I’m not saying I admire it, but someone might. And while I truly have no horse in the race regarding the quality, or potential lack thereof, in Masters of Albion, its latest gameplay trailer certainly does at least suggest it’ll be a true as it can be Molyneux game. If you’re already clued into the impending release of 22cans’ latest, you’ll know that it’s a little bit of all of…
A totally original creation from the team behind the Black Mesa Half-Life remake, Rogue Point has been blipping on my radar for a while now. While it has a lot of the hallmarks you’d expect from tactical PvP shooters like Counter-Strike and Rainbow Six Siege, this is in fact a co-op, PvE FPS game. In the current climate, that’s probably for the best. Well, my time waiting for Rogue Point’s arrival is up – it just launched in Steam Early Access. For me, there are two ways to approach making a great co-op shooter. You could take the Helldivers 2…

She says,…
If there is anything that is concretely true about the upcoming Disco Elysium follow-up Zero Parades, it is that it is certainly a new RPG from ZA/UM. Everything else, well, that depends on who you ask, and where they lie in the messiness that has been in and around the studio these past few years, but a ZA/UM game in name it is. And now there are two opportunities for you to form a more direct opinion about Zero Parades, and its quality therewithin.

New Cities Skylines 2 developer Iceflake Studios is almost ready to unleash its first big patch since taking charge of the troubled sequel. After failing to match up to the standard set by its beloved predecessor, the city-building game was taken out of the hands of original creator Colossal Order in November, as it parted ways with publisher Paradox Interactive. Now, CS2’s new handler details some of the biggest changes we can expect in the next Cities Skylines 2 update, which is planned to launch sometime next week. It includes the likes of a UI overhaul, improved terraforming tools, custom…
