Splitgate 2 launched a battle royale mode live at Summer Game Fest today. 1047 Games CEO and co-founder Ian Proulx took the stage himself to announce the news while slamming the state of shooters. Almost immediately, reactions to the segment weren't as much about Splitgate 2 as Proulx's peculiar fashion choice: a black "MAKE FPS GREAT AGAIN" hat.In response to negative reactions to the CEO's donning of the Trump slogan...
If you're anything like me, a Gen Z caffeine addict with the attention span of a fruit fly, ancient classics like Pong and Breakout don't do much for you. 'How am I supposed to play this without roguelite elements and heaps of stacking upgrades?' I cry, and if the lesson is that sometimes less is more, an hour with Ball X Pit has made sure I may never learn it....
Outerloop's previous RPG, Thirsty Suitors, featured an elaborate cooking minigame—complete with quick-time-event handwashing—where you had to prepare Indian cuisine as a way of impressing and subsequently bonding with your mother. What I'm saying is, they've got prior when it comes to games where food is important. Outerloop's next RPG, shown off today on the Day of the Devs stream following the Summer Game Fest show, takes the cooking and makes...
Beneath my television sits a small, underpowered rectangle. It's called the 'Nintendo Switch' and I purchased it—in its advanced, glowing OLED form—to play Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. That is its sole purpose—filling that single hole in my PC's gaming library (yes, yes, I know you can black-magic your way to Zelda on PC, but consider that I am very lazy and stupid).Except maybe that hole...
In Chapter 4 of Deltarune, I'm playing as a pixelated character named Kris when I encounter a hallway with a locked door, a step stool, and a bright green book on a shelf. Obviously I need to move the step stool so that Kris, or another party member, can reach the book and hit the switch mechanism I think is hidden behind it. But when I go to move the...
Dear reader, I've started to be able to set my watch by the amount of time between the release of a new FromSoftware game and the eventuality, sure as the heat death of the universe, of a YouTuber swaggering along and making me feel very bad for the amount of times I've seen the 'You Died' text. Or, in the case of Elden Ring Nightreign, 'Defeat'.Parry master Ongbal, who has...

After picking a starting class between the Trooper, Planetologist, Mentat, Bene Gesserit, or Swordmaster, the other four class specialists will take you as their pupil.Dune: Awakening starting tips: Conquer ArrakisDune: Awakening fast-travel: Take a rideDune:...
It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since Divinity composer Kirill Pokrovsky died unexpectedly at the age of 53. I still remember being shocked by the news: Pokrovsky was one of my favorite videogame composers, and he was a high-profile presence at Larian Studios, having created the music for every game the studio ever made up to Divinity: Original Sin—including The LED Wars, the one only true die-hards...
