When I spoke to Obsidian studio design director Josh Sawyer earlier this year, I got his take on the apparent ultimate victory of turn-based combat over real time with pause (RTWP), as well as why he thinks turn-based fell off in the first place.This begged the question: With both Baldur's Gate 3 and Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity games serving as successors to the original, RTWP Baldur's Gates, how was Larian...
The first patient I killed was a mistake. A burly fellow named Victor Harlow walked into my surgery complaining about fatigue, but I was distracted by the little pig popping in and out of my cuckoo clock. This isn't a euphemism for anything—there really was a small pink pig where the cuckoo should have been.Anyway, I downed an entire bottle of laudanum and the pig went away. I gave Victor...
After revolutionizing the anime industry with one of the most popular first seasons in the genre’s history (followed by five more that were just as successful) and the highest-grossing anime movie of all time, the Demon Slayer franchise is ready for the beginning of the end. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, the first movie in the trilogy that will close up the story of Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the...
Free-running zombie survival extravaganza Dying Light is 10 years old this year, a fact that my rapidly rotting brain simply refuses to accept. Developer Techland is determined to hammer the news home though, dedicating an entire year to anniversary celebrations. Back in January, the developer gave away its first DLC for the game in four years. Now, it has given the game a big lick of graphical paint in what...

We’ve all seen our fair share of battle arenas, but a battle arena in the form of a floating, rotating, basically shape-shifting block? That’s new. It’s called (what else?) The Cube, and it’s a massive multiplayer shooter from Atomic Heart developer Mundfish. Of all the 2025 Summer Game Fest announcements, The Cube struck me, thanks to its ambitious hexahedronic design. To learn more, I recently sat down for a remote...
Two Point Museum is already one of the most enjoyable management sims I've played, spinning its theme down some wonderfully silly avenues that let you curate exhibitions of ghosts and giant carnivorous plants. Now, publisher SEGA has announced an expansion that will add another range of bizarre artifacts to discover and display, this time with the theme of swords, sorcery, dragons and quite possibly dungeons too.The Fantasy Finds DLC adds...
I missed Atari's announcement that it's bringing back Fatal Run, a post-apocalyptic racer released when Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was still a relatively new film. Not that I was eagerly anticipating it—Fatal Run was only released in Europe during the death throes of the Atari 2600, so it isn't exactly a world-renowned phenomenon. According to Fatal Run's Wikipedia, Retro Gamer reflected upon it back in 2016. They claimed the best...
The Equalizer 3 wouldn’t qualify as the jewel of Denzel Washington’s filmography, but it belongs on the crown. Skeptics: Please watch this one on Netflix before it’s gone on July 1. Washington has two Oscars and nine nominations to his name, plus multiple Tonys for his stage work, and he’s devoted a good portion of his career to bringing the work of playwright August Wilson to screens. He is rightfully...

Celebrity cameos are a huge part of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, the PlayStation 5 game about going “Oh hey look, it’s that guy” while you navigate the apocalypse. The cast of Death Stranding 2 — both the main cast and the characters who pop up in bit parts — is full of stars from various countries, but a lot of these cameos are missable if you don’t know...
