‘Players should absolutely not skip it’: Yakuza Kiwami 3 director says its new orphanage content is its ‘most essential’
The director of Yakuza Kiwami 3 says he hopes players will fully play the extended orphanage section, as he feels it’s the most important part of the remake.At the start of the original 2009 release of Yakuza 3, protagonist Kazuma Kiryu is running an orphanage called Morning Glory (renamed the Sunshine Orphanage in Western versions).This section has been greatly overhauled in Yakuza Kiwami 3 – the remake of the game set for release next month – and now plays more like a life sim with mini-games.Players can now cook, harvest vegetables, help children with homework, sew their clothes and do…
Sorry, why did nobody tell me that 'Fallout but trucking' exists and is about to come to consoles after a year of 88% positive reviews on Steam?
A survival business sim where you’re a truck driver wandering Fallout-style post-apocalyptic wastes is the kind of thing that’s laser-targeted to my particular interests – which is why I’m so disappointed that nobody told me that Dustland Delivery exists. This is exactly the sort of game I like to post sickos memes about, and I’m only coming to learn of it now, well after its original launch in 2024.Dustland Delivery is primarily a business sim, where you turn a truck into a mobile operations center and build up trade routes between the cities of the wasteland, all with the goal…
Rule your own, slightly socially awkward knights in the round table management RPG Sovereign Tower
You ever accidentally find out that you’re the sovereign of an entire nation as dictated by a prophecy even though you’re technically just random nobody, and so you wind-up being the one to have to make all the decisions about how your nation is run? No? Well, that’s fine, but if you’d like that to be you, I’ll introduce you to Sovereign Tower, a management RPG where you send off your knights of the round table to deal with all manner of quests. From the devs behind Aetheris and Crown Gambit, Sovereign Crown is a funny little game…
Getting something for free always feels great, especially where your privacy is concerned. VPNs can be a little expensive, too, so it makes sense that a lot of people don’t want to have to pay for an extra subscription. The problem is that, if you’re not careful, you might end up with a “free” service where you pay with your data, which is pretty much the opposite of what you want from a VPN. Hence the paid vs free VPN debate rages on. Privacy, security, performance, server locations, compatibility, and customer support options also differ hugely between paid and free…

Hytale mithril doesn't exist yet, but thanks to "suggestions in DMs" endgame mining is going to get "a bit more interesting"
Hytale currently hints at endgame gear that you need to craft via mithril, but there’s no way to actually get the ore in-game – aside from cheating and popping into creative mode. The devs at Hypixel apparently have some big plans for endgame mining, including mithril, and it’ll be a bit more involved than the current process for mining ore.”We got some fun ideas about Mithril,” Hypixel boss Simon Collins-Laflamme says on Twitter. He adds, “Let’s say it wont be as simple to mine as the others!” Our friends at PC Gamer spotted this tweet, and in response to their…
Firestarters promises to mix Rollerdome, arena shooters and visual novels into a government-sanctioned bloodsport
This is probably the umpteenth time I’ve said I’m not someone who plays many shooters, but here I am saying it again, because an FPS has rocked up that has clocked my interest. It’s called Firestarters, an arena shooter that’s a bit like Quake, a bit like Rollerdome, and looks like good, bloody fun. To start with, the setting. Set some time in the future, everyone’s favourite livestreamed event is known as STEEL, a “gladiator bloodsport owned and operated by the nation’s most notorious crime syndicate.” You play as former street delinquent Kera who has to fight for…
Feeling like World of Warcraft with more tension and higher stakes, this fantasy extraction "mini MMO" just hit 1.0
We’ve never really seen an actual World of Warcraft killer. We’ve seen rival MMOs come and go, with the likes of Final Fantasy 14, Old School Runescape, and Guild Wars 2 pushing their way to the front of the chasing pack, but never quite managing to topple Blizzard’s age-old goliath. But, in 2025 alone we saw various new WoW-inspired alternatives appear. Fellowship is perhaps the most prominent, followed by Eldegarde, previously known as Legacy: Steel and Sorcery. Notorious Studios’ extraction-based MMO had a lot of promise, but struggled to stick the early access landing. But that was over a year…
