I've always believed Planet Coaster 2 to be a better game than it's typically given credit for. But one issue I have with the sequel, and indeed, the series in general is that your park visitors are a bit dull.They're gloriously animated, I should stress, with tons of fun incidental detail in how they move and interact with the world. But behaviourally they're all tediously genial, consumerist chuds who wander...
If you play indie games, you may have noticed Strange Scaffold’s incredible hit rate. Every single one of the studio’s games — from Clickolding, I Am Your Beast, and most recently, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown — has ended up somewhere within the “Positive” ranking system on Steam (with several achieving “Very Positive” or even “Overwhelmingly Positive”). So, how does the studio’s creative director Xalavier Nelson Jr. ensure his...
My favourite type of video game can be summarised as "something has gone wrong in space". Whether it's a shooter, immersive sim, strategy game, or kart racer, I'm always up for a game that's about dealing with a horrible problem in the most hostile environment of them all.And wow, does Dandelion Void understand the meaning of the word "horrible". The pitch is you're trapped aboard a derelict generation ship that...
Without interactivity, the Ellie Williams that players know from the Last of Us games was never going to be the same person as the character who appeared on a television screen on Sunday nights. But by the time season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us reached its finale, it became evident that the TV version of the games’ immune teen protagonist isn’t just an alternate interpretation. Ellie’s character from...
Have you played The Swapper? If not, you should swap whatever you're doing right now for playing The Swapper. Originally released back in 2013, it's a sci-fi puzzler that hinges on your ability to create clones of yourself, which then mimic your every movement. From this simple concept, The Swapper produces some delightfully brain-tangling puzzles, and a story that probes the question of personal identity with discomforting acuity. Oh, and...

FromSoftware is apparently reserving the right to add an official two-player mode to Elden Ring Nightreign—right now you can only play solo or in a trio. But Yui, the modder behind the Seamless Co-op series of Souls multiplayer hacks, has already done it again with Elden Ring Nightreign a mere day after launch.PCG senior editor Wes Fenlon and I hopped in for a round, and it works exactly like you...
Summer Game Fest season is almost upon us, and you know what that means. That's right, it's time for Ubisoft to once again disappoint Splinter Cell fans by reminding us that it's been almost four years since the remake was announced."Splinter Cell fans are getting excited about a possible update on the remake in June," I wrote in April—except that was April 2024, not 2025, and June 2024 ultimately brought...
When Grinding Gear Games first announced Path of Exile 2, it made a promise: PoE1 wasn't going anywhere, and development on both titles would continue in parallel. Ten months after the last Path of Exile league, it's clear that the studio bit off a bit more than it can chew, but game director Jonathan Rogers was optimistic in a new interview with YouTuber Talkative Tri this week that things are...
