Survival horror dungeon crawler Labyrinth of the Demon King is neck-and-neck with Avowed and Oblivion Remastered as my personal game of the year so far, which I absolutely did not expect when I loaded it up on my Steam Deck before a flight (I ended up playing it all five hours). But even more surprising is that its small development team is already promising new additions just a week after...

Ten years! How many times in the last decade have we fetched that frying pan, whistled for Roach to give us a lift, sliced drowners in half, and used our Witcher senses to track a blood trail to a monster's lair, only to find a tragic story at the end of what seemed like a simple hunt?The Witcher 3 was a shoo-in for the canon of all-time PC RPGs as...

Last week Bungie was accused of using the designs of an independent artist, Antireal, without her knowledge or permission. It's a pretty cut-and-dry case: elements of Marathon's environment art unquestionably copy iconography from posters designed by Antireal in 2017. It didn't help that several of the game's art team also follow her accounts on social media.Bungie issued a statement acknowledging the "unauthorised use" and blamed the situation on a former...

It was nary a week ago that I came to you with news that a modder named ColdTyrant had ginned up a system to keep Oblivion Remastered's Dark Brotherhood keep going forever: bolting on a whole Hitman Freelancer-esque contracts mode with an accompanying gacha rewards system. It was cool as heck, and is now old news—ColdTyrant has returned with Thieves Guild – Infinitum, which does the same thing for the...

In the spirit of a technology developed by AI company Anthropic, Microsoft sees the future of AI where there are lots of different systems, created by lots of different companies, all working together, in peace and harmony. Or to put it in the same words that Microsoft used, create an "agentic web".That's according to a report by Reuters, which relayed the views of Microsoft's chief technology officer, Kevin Scott, ahead...

I do not typically recommend completely tanking a city's economy, potentially ruining the lives of all of its citizens and being heralded as a complete idiot, as a way to learn a valuable lesson. But this is exactly what happened to me in Anno 117: Pax Romana, and I came out the other side really vibing with the direction Ubisoft is taking it in—using its predecessor as a starting point,...

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has just delivered the opening keynote at Computex 2025, and it was a little light on PC gaming reveals. No great surprise, as Computex has become known for Nvidia's AI-related announcements in recent years, but there was still the odd tidbit for us gamers to pick up on—including the revelation that "even Crysis" runs on Nvidia's new RTX Pro Server enterprise platform.The Nvidia RTX Pro Server...

Nvidia's Computex 2025 keynote was mainly focussed on AI factories, AI agents, and well, AI everything. However, the biggest showstopper was left until last—a CGI depiction of Nvidia's new Taiwanese office, "Constellation", flying into the Earth's atmosphere as a Star Trek-style spaceship.Yep, you read that right. Jensen announced the new office as "one of the largest products we've ever built, and it's parked outside," before stepping off of the stage...
