I really wanted to love the SteelSeries Rival 3 Gen 2 Wireless, and in some ways, I do. It's very versatile, sturdy, and has reminded me of the very real benefits of removable batteries in gaming mice. It's also pretty well priced. Because of all this, I reckon it's ideal for some select use cases.However, I can't recommend it for use as a primary gaming mouse, not when there are...
The Kingmakers system requirements have just been revealed, and it is looking incredibly easy to run. Given how ambitious the game is, and the fact that it's built in Unreal Engine 5 despite those specs, I can only hope it runs as easily as it is to play.As spotted by PCGamesN, you have to go somewhere no person should ever set foot in to find the Kingmakers system requirements: the...

FromSoftware's clunky UI and coy descriptions are keeping me from truly loving Elden Ring Nightreign
Elden Ring Nightreign is quickly proving itself to be a bit marmite in reception—at least, on first blush. It's my opinion that the game'll likely pick up in opinion as the playerbase, like me, gets used to this bizarre, experimental, and harsh co-op game's eccentricities.Now that I'm well and truly submerged in the Nightreign soup, I'm having a grand old time. I'm familiar with the Executor's ins and outs, what...
Elden Ring Nightreign is finally out, and while it’s received a pretty positive reception so far, there’s a contingent of players voicing their complaints that the game isn’t balanced well for solo play. The developers at FromSoftware appear to be listening, and they’re set to release a patch next week to make the solo experience a little more forgiving.

Original Story: FromSoftware, I love thee dearly—but I think we can all agree that your multiplayer elements are always a little goofy. In the Dark Souls games and Elden Ring, the laborious process of summoning phantoms to your world is kinda part of the charm: a diegetic way to invite spirits beyond the rift into your RPG.Elden Ring Nightreign, on the other hand, has straight-up matchmaking. And even then, FromSoftware...
While running an expedition in Elden Ring Nightreign with other players, using a voice chat would be helpful — would being the operative word there. Nightreign sadly offers minimal communication methods. Playing with other players is not completely new in Elden Ring. More experienced players have probably summoned a few friends — or completely random people — to face bosses in the base game. The difference in Nightreign is that...

After completing the Elden Ring: Nightreign tutorial, you’ll spawn into this game’s version of the Roundtable Hold. While it might seem attractive to hop right into your first genuine expedition, you mustn’t sleep on the Sparring Grounds. Elden Ring: Nightreign lets you pilot eight character archetypes, all of whom play differently. To test out the differences between classes, there’s no better place than the safe, reliable Sparring Grounds. Few things...
