When Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios brought us three-team squad shooter The Finals, I couldn’t help but wonder what that dynamic would look like at the large scale of Battlefield 6. To find an answer, you could look to Arma 3’s King of the Hill mod, which has now been turned into a full, standalone game in collaboration with its creators. Wardogs is a 100-player “tactical all-out warfare FPS” that pits three rival armies against one another in a breakaway from the battle royales and extraction shooters of the world. Wardogs comes from developer Bulkhead, back as an independent studio…

My thoughts see-saw between two definitive statements while playing the first three chapters of Planet of Lana 2. I am the cleverest person alive, my internal monologue gloats as I accidentally solve a tricky puzzle with an experimental button mash. I’m dragging a massive rock onto a movable platform, and now all I need to do is get Lana’s cat-like animal pal Mui to raise it. Only, my hands forget how to function for a moment, and I send my beloved pet wandering right into an enemy vision cone. Mui gets sniped on-sight. Lana cries out in horror. I am…

While XCOM 3 remains a pipedream for now, there are an increasing number of tactical RPGs ready to step up to the empty half-cover and take their shot. Among them, Menace is one I’ve had a particularly close eye on for years, and now it’s finally here. Combining all that stats-driven, alien-blasting goodness with a nightmarish, Terminator-style threat, and then rolling in a squad relationship dynamic that feels somewhere between Jagged Alliance and Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s racked up more than 600,000 Steam wishlists. Now, it’s time to take the threat to the eponymous Menace for real. I’ve been waiting…

The Star Wars prequels contain countless fantastic lightsaber battles, but there’s one in particular that has fans discussing.When Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul first clash blades on Tatooine, one fan has realized this is a pretty significant moment for the saga.”Is this the first time in ages that a Jedi had to fight another saber-wielder in a life-or-death scenario? I can’t imagine how stressed Qui-Gon would be in this situation, he probably never fought this hard in his life,” they question on Reddit. You may like “Qui-Gon doesn’t stress.

I’ve never really seen Roblox as a bastion of creativity. To me, it just looks like a bunch of folks churning out iterative copies of the same game, and, using Peak as an example, occasionally plagiarizing them. In many ways, it’s gaming at its worst. Last year, Roblox brought its AI-powered Cube Foundation Model to the fore, granting the means to generate 3D objects. At the time, it signaled its intent to eventually make these elements fully functional by making the leap to 4D. Now, it’s done just that. As revealed by Roblox’s senior VP of engineering, Anupam Singh, the…
