Helldivers 2 released a huge milestone update today—a battle for Super Earth, and the inclusion of City Maps. I got my boots on the ground right away, dropping into a smoke-filled ruin of a city named Eagleopolis, the thrum of distant Illuminate ships and the warble of cruel, unflinching overseers flooding my senses.Our mission? To protect a missile silo from the alien advance. We set up our defences, dropped our...

Well, here's a twist. Instead of making a movie based on a blockbuster game like Minecraft or Super Mario Bros, someone made one based on a $4 walking simulator you can finish in about 25 minutes. And just based on the trailer, it looks a lot more faithful to the source material than most game adaptations.Both the film and the game it's based on are called The Exit 8, and...

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...

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...
