Disney Plus’ Ironheart is an underwhelming series for many reasons. It’s tonally inconsistent, zipping between whimsical singalongs and somber sequences tracking the long-term impact of gun violence. Like so many MCU shows, it’s more concerned with setting up the next part of the franchise than telling a satisfying standalone story. Its biggest fight scene takes place in a White Castle, reducing the impact with egregious product placement. But in the...
Netflix and CD Projekt Red announced a second season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners at the 2025 Anime Expo, and it’s no surprise — the anime, which won the prestigious “Anime of the Year” award at the 2023 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, played a major part in making 2020’s Cyberpunk 2077 so successful following its troubled debut. Before Cyberpunk: Edgerunners debuted, Cyberpunk 2077 struggled to recover from bugs and backlash over a gameplay...
If you have, at any point, attempted to wrestle the PC version of Nier: Automata into submission, odds are you've downloaded and installed Special K, a graphics and performance enhancement suite that you can plug into all manner of games (both Niers, Elden Ring, Persona 4, and plenty else besides) to hopefully get them running a little smoother. It's been supplanted by other mods—at least for some games—over the years,...
PC Gamer recently dispatched Robert Zak to chat with the senior developers behind Deus Ex, in order to mark the 25th anniversary of a true classic. Among the many nuggets are that the initial pitch for the game starred Jake Shooter, supercop, and that the team never really thought that one of the most political games you could imagine was political at all.The story of Deus Ex's development is also...
The humble health bar is not made to be remembered. It's there primarily for information, and yet the best games use health bars (as well as other UI elements) to add beauty, express personality, or more deeply immerse us in the world around it.Health bars aren't as commonplace as they used to be in big-budget games—in fact, a whole generation of shooters left them behind in favor of regenerating health—but...
I recently finally fastened my suspenders, donned a tophat, and went back to Lies of P to actually commit to a proper, honest-to-Asimov playthrough. I had a great time with Round 8 Studio and Neowiz's "puppet bloodborne"—not exceptional, but great.Lies of P did a lot of things I liked, but showed its smaller scope on occasion, which is no crime. Overall, I found it to be a really solid entry...

The fun thing about videogame patches—and I'm using "fun" in the definitely-ironic sense here—is that sometimes they'll cause new, interesting, and entirely unanticipated problems: Fix this, break that, it's the circle of life. Such is the case with a recent update to Funcom's survival MMO Dune: Awakening, which saw several PvE areas of the Deep Desert to become PvP enabled, resulting in "people suffering an unfortunate amount of lost bases...
