Nintendo is not reinventing the wheel with GameChat, its new video and voice chat feature for Switch 2, but the company has created an incredibly slick, highly polished, safe, and easy-to-use tool for its customers. While experienced gamers will point to services like Discord or the now-ancient Xbox Live Vision camera as tech that already accomplished what Nintendo is doing with GameChat, the Switch 2 feature does it better than...

If you know how to beat Maris, Fathom of Night, the Augur expedition is remarkably easy—a bit of a boring slog, actually. But if you bring in the wrong team or don't know how to stop its wipe mechanic, then it'll be one of the toughest in Elden Ring Nightreign.You have to beat a total of four Nightreign bosses before you can unlock the hidden final boss, so I'd recommend...
All hail the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which in recent years has been used by the bloc to force various tech giants into being a little more considerate of consumers. The DMA's latest glorious victory comes against Microsoft which, ever since September 2023, has been designated by the EU commission as a "gatekeeper" thanks to Windows: meaning it has to publish yearly compliance reports about how it's adhering to...
I concur with PC Gamer's Mollie Taylor, my fellow Final Fantasy 14 enjoyer on our illustrious staff, that FF14's Occult Crescent patch has made the game feel like an MMO again. I actually got downright emotional, hopping into my first critical encounter and seeing swarms of strangers crowding around a chance to give a boss a beatdown: 'Oh,' I thought, 'I'm playing an MMO again'.But with that joy came a...

Despite achieving a monumental 2 million copies sold in just the first 24 hours, Nightreign also had a somewhat poor reception, with it garnering Mixed user reviews on Steam (though it's since picked up to Mostly Positive).Since then, FromSoftware has gone into damage control mode. Nightreign's first major update saw big changes to its singleplayer,...
Most of my time playing Elden Ring Nightreign has involved scrambling to piece together a good build out of the garbage the game gives me—I don't have good luck in roguelikes, you see. If I need a four in Balatro, I won't get one. But last night, cackling with glee as my starting sword gave my foes nearly every possible disease, I had finally beaten the game of fate: The...

The golden age of animation reveled in absurdity. In the heyday of the Looney Tunes, Daffy Duck might get squashed and stretched, flattened like a pancake, and careen off a cliff all in the span of a minute. It’s an energy that’s surprisingly hard to come by in modern video games. Unless you’re loading up Earthworm Jim on a Sega Genesis Mini or dialing the nostalgia way back with Cuphead, the...
