Making beautiful living spaces in House Flipper seems to be something people enjoy. It's like The Sims, a place of aspiration and creative joy. But what about a game for those of us who make awful crap heaps for their Sims? Who pinch every penny?Looks like that'll soon exist: Low-Budget Repairs is an upcoming game where you're a handyman doing renovations in 1990s Polish apartments, and your job is to...

If you've been keeping an eye on the pre-purchase page for Battlefield 6 on Steam, you might have noticed two different required file sizes: 55GB for the minimum specs and 80GB for the recommended specs. Such a large discrepancy piqued our curiosity, and we reached out to EA for clarification."Yes, you will be able to pick and choose which components of the game you install," we were told by an...

When I got back in town from vacation, it was a top priority for me to hit Elden Ring Nightreign's latest rotating "Everdark" superboss, the Augur, aka. Maris, Fathom of Night. "Don't spoil yourself on it, it's amazing," PCG contributor Tyler Colp warned me before we queued up, but with the added caveat that "people hate it."

Microsoft Recall's security woes have come back to the fore after a test caught the AI screenshotting tool capturing sensitive data (again). Ahead of its public beta release in April, Microsoft made a slew of security updates to Recall, including adding a filter that's supposed to block Recall from recording passwords, credit card info, social security numbers, and similar sensitive data. It looks like more fine-tuning is still needed.The Register's...

If your next Peak run looks impossible, it just might be. On Saturday, dev Aggro Crab posted a screenshot of an impossible-to-reach campfire that spawned on top of an unclimbable tree. Peak is challenging, but it's not supposed to be quite that challenging.Aggro Crab explained the glitch in a post on X (with a string of crying emojis): "A modder in discord has informed me that in two days there...

In a new video on his YouTube channel, RPG veteran Tim Cain outlined the challenges inherent to remastering Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, one of the true hardcore sicko legends of CRPGs, and a game that could really use a remaster.Vexingly, it sounds like the dark ritual to reanimate Arcanum is pretty much all set up for some corporate necromancer to step in and utter an incantation, particularly when...

One thing I've learned in journalism is that the stupidest questions can lead to the most fascinating answers, if only because nobody else would be such a colossal dumbass to consider asking them. This proved true recently as I sought an answer to an extremely silly question: How tall is Garrett, the protagonist of the Thief series of stealth games?Why did I want to answer this question? The truth is...

If there's one thing that bugs me about Genshin Impact, it's the combat. Exploring its pretty open world is all fine and great until the moment you're dumped into a boss fight and realize it's a baby's first action RPG where every move you make is tied to one annoying little stamina bar.Even though Genshin Impact is about much more than its combat, I've always wished there was more to...
