You might think making one of the most influential games of this century would be a source of unending happiness for its creator. But for Dean 'Rocket' Hall, founder of RocketWerkz, the relationship with his most famous creation isn't that simple. "When DayZ happened, it was like dying," says Hall of the mod which, alongside Minecraft, helped establish survival games as a cornerstone of the medium. "It ended my old...
CD Projekt has a lot going on these days: The Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2, a new Witcher 3 expansion and remaster, a remake of the original Witcher, probably some other stuff I've either forgotten or don't know about, and a couple of long-simmering mystery projects that are still only known by their codenames, Sirius and Hadar.

The Witcher 3 is the perfect videogame. Is that hyperbolic? Maybe a bit. But it's unquestionably one of the greatest RPGs of all time, a game that arrived with a 92% review score and somehow got better through years of fixes, upgrades, and expansions, the last of which provided a perfectly satisfying conclusion to the epic of Geralt (and an even higher review score).In his review for that brilliant denouement,...
The original Hollow Knight just got 16:10 and 21:9 support, too.
