I’m close to 60 hours into my playthrough of Assassin’s Creed Shadows and I refuse to play Yasuke. It didn’t take me 26 hours to unlock him, but even still, I’ve spent so much time investing in Naoe that Yasuke is effectively unplayable to me. I dread the story missions where I’m forced to play him. This is a ninja game to me, not a samurai game. It doesn’t help...
Nintendo announced that it’s opening pre-orders for its Nintendo Switch 2 console on April 24 following a brief delay caused by U.S. tariff uncertainty. The console itself and games Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Banzana remain at the originally announced prices. However, accessories have increased by about $1 to $10 each. “Nintendo Switch 2 accessories will experience price adjustments from those announced on April 2 due to changes in...
After you watch Sinners, you should read George R.R. Martin’s excellent and underrated vampire novel
Vampires never really leave the cultural conversation, but not since the heyday of Twilight have they felt quite so back as they do right now. Between last year’s excellent Nosferatu and this year starting out hot with Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, it seems like everyone has the Children of the Night on their minds. The only problem, however, is that there probably aren’t quite enough new vampire movies and TV shows...
Nintendo has announced an updated date for Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders in the United States.

The company announced Friday that the console’s price will remain the same as originally announced — $449.99, with a $499.99 version that includes Mario Kart World.

I was excited when the Painkiller reboot was formally revealed back in March, but also apprehensive. Anshar Studios' revival of People Can Fly's 2004 shooter looks exactly how I imagined a modern take on the game would. But it also has a co-operative emphasis, and I'm uncertain how this will mix with the series' brutal simplicity.To be fair, the reveal trailer only provided a brief snapshot of the game. Now...
The “digital board game” has long been an intriguing proposition. Tabletop has always had an influence on its digital cousin, but the reverse has happened just as often. Sunderfolk is the latest evolution in that effort. It’s a video game meant to evoke the feeling of an evolving tabletop role-playing campaign, melding the flexibility of a digital space with the presentation and thought processes of an in-person game night. And...
On Friday, Future Boy Conan finally comes to streaming on Retrocrush. Anime enthusiasts will recognize the series for being Hayao Miyazaki’s directorial debut, premiering one year before his first theatrical film, Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, and several more years before he founded Studio Ghibli with Toshio Suzuki and Isao Takahata. The 26-episode anime was released on Blu-ray in the U.S. in 2021, but this marks the first time...
Path of Exile 2's recent 0.2.0 update did not go down well with players. The update unleashed nerf-a-geddon unto numerous classes and abilities, while also making monsters tougher by fattening their health bars. The purported aim of the update was to make the later game more challenging. But the effect, at least according to players, was that it made the game feel way too slow, denying them that sense of...
Here at PC Gamer we'd basically given up all hope of ever seeing new Western Digital SSD's. After waiting patiently for what felt like an age to witness the birth of the brand's Gen 5 Black SSDs we were hit by the news that SanDisk was taking over the reins earlier this year. This wasn't exactly bad news, as it was still likely SanDisk would put out a killer drive,...
