This beautiful Metroidvania blends Hollow Knight Silksong and Nier Automata, and I hate that it's slipping under the radar
I didn’t really go into MIO: Memories in Orbit expecting much. I didn’t play the demo, nor did I even know it existed until it was released this week. However, I was instantly captivated by the art style, and even though there are a couple of issues that keep it from reaching Hollow Knight Silksong levels of quality, it’s one of the most beautiful Metroidvania games I’ve ever played, and you can grab it at a great discount at launch. MIO: Memories in Orbit puts you in the shoes of the titular Mio, a nimble little robot that awakens in…
With the drop of a new patch, Funcom has finally given Dune: Awakening players a feature they’ve been asking for for months: character transfers.The new feature is the big highlight of the new 1.2.40.0 update, with Funcom saying in the patch notes: “you can now transfer your character, inventory, backed-up bases and vehicles, and bank contents (including your Solari) to a new Sietch and World.”Dune: Awakening came out in June 2025, and it wasn’t long before people started to look for ways to move their character over to a new server, typically because their current server gradually lost players and…
80s-themed survival horror I Hate This Place is a gentler Darkwood based on a celebrated comic series
If you find Darkwood too dark, perhaps you will like I Hate This Place, an isometric (is it, tho?) survival horror based on the comic book of the same name from Kyle Starks and Artyom Topilin. I Hate This Place is dark – it has hungry tentacle nests, antlered stalkers, and spiders of many sizes – but going by the trailer, at least, it’s nothing like as harrowing and hollowing as the Acid Wizard game. The colours are bright and splashy, the munsters, funky: think Stranger Things. It occurs to me that we need a thematic darkness scale…
When is the Sunkissed City release date? Fans of life sims, particularly Stardew Valley, rejoice! A new life sim is on the way, created by a former member of the Stardew Valley team and set in a sunny city. Arthur Lee, who left Concerned Ape in June 2022, has been working on Sunkissed City ever since, and has revealed roughly when we can expect to move into our new home. We love life games and farming sims here at PCGamesN, and given the popularity of the likes of games like Stardew Valley, so does the rest of the world. We’re…
Streamer Ninja says 99% of Arc Raiders players "aren't even coming close to running into a fraction of the amount of cheaters" he is, which is why his complaints are "falling on deaf ears"
Ninja, one of the most popular video game streamers ever, says his Arc Raiders runs are plagued by an overwhelming amount of cheaters that normal players don’t have to deal with, and he figures that because of that, his complaints aren’t being heard.”Unfortunately, 99% of the people that are playing this game are not even coming close to running into a fraction of the amount of cheaters that we are, so it’s falling on deaf ears a lot,” Ninja said on a recent stream (via Arc Raiders Alerts). “There’s a lot of the community that think we’re just fucking complaining,…
Cyberpunk 2077 VR modder doesn't rule out releasing it for free after DMCA, claims there was "no negotiation" with CD Projekt
Following a mod which provides VR support for Cyberpunk 2077 was hit with a takedown request by CD Projekt, its creator has now said that they’ve not ruled out the possibility of releasing it for free. However, they’ve painted that as an unlikely road to go down, arguing that it’s “kind of become a moot point” due to piracy of their work following the strike. The fact Luke Ross’ R.E.A.L VR mod for Cyberpunk, which is one arm of a wider VR support framework for a wide range of games, was behind a paywall appeared to be the crux of…
2XKO Season 1 sees the League of Legends brawler truly come to life, with a new champion and a highly anticipated feature
Riot Games has quite the portfolio on its hands. From leading the charge in the MOBA scene to dominating Netflix with Arcane, it now looks to take over the fighting game world with 2XKO. Today marks the release of Season 1 of the 2v2 brawler, introducing with a new champion, a new progression track, and the beginning of 2XKO’s competitive offerings. Having been in early access since October, the existence of 2XKO is news to nearly nobody, but what today’s full release does signify is a ramp-up in content drops and an outline of what we can expect in the…

DC’s new Batman movie The Brave and the Bold has been long in gestation, with updates few and far between. But the film is reportedly taking a big step forward by bringing in a new writer, enlisting Christina Hodson – best known to DC fans as the writer of 2023’s The Flash.The news comes via THR, though DC has yet to officially comment. DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has made no bones about wanting fully finished, exciting scripts for all DC Universe projects before moving forward, with recent comments indicating that The Brave and the Bold won’t start fully cooking…
"They'll figure out how to get out of there eventually" – Arc Raiders' latest enemy won't stick to Stella Montis
As someone of a nervous disposition, I am not a fan of the Shredder, one of the latest enemies added to Arc Raiders. First appearing after November’s North Line update, these floating bollards buzz about the halls and corridors of the mountainside facility, Stella Montis. Cross their path and they emit a mechanical shriek before releasing an explosive wave of shrapnel. Anyone caught in the blast is cut to shribbons. Currently, like a Dalek left at the top of a staircase, Shredders haven’t found a way down the mountain and out into the world. So, if I want to avoid…
How do you unlock the MIO map? If you’re used to playing Metroidvania games like Hollow Knight, you’ll also be familiar with just how expansive and complex their maps can be. With various paths opening up in front of you, it’s tough to know where to go or how to get there. That’s why unlocking your map is so crucial in MIO: Memories in Orbit – and as early as possible. It’s not immediately obvious how to do so, though, so if you’ve not stumbled across the function by accident yet, here’s how to unlock your map in the platform…
