Every time any updates on Haunted Chocolatier drop I feel like I spend hours dissecting exactly what they mean. After all, when you're so desperate for a game to release and there's no sign of launch on the horizon, you'll do what you can to get your fix. But when creator Eric Barone decides to throw out an update on the game in a random Tweet consisting of ten words,...
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 just received another patch—putting its finishing touches on the RPG's difficulty options, alongside the usual bug fixes and the like. The game is now both easier and harder to play, based on what options you'd like to select. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.For Story Mode players, the difficulty setting should now be more of what it says on the tin. Both parry and dodge...
I am far too stubborn for my own good. It took me several runs to cave into common sense and actually check out the Nightlord's weakness in the select menu of Elden Ring Nightreign, and a few more runs to try and create a build with this in mind. Now I'm finding out these bosses are weakened by more than one attribute—mind-blowing.There's currently a chart floating around that lists everything...
Gaming chairs are a dime a dozen, and AndaSeat is striving to establish itself as a leading brand in the market. I’ve been maining an AndaSeat Kaiser 4 XL which sets a high standard but its hefty price tag of nearly $579 USD (£550 GBP / $1,050 AUD) makes it a little too premium of a choice for most of us. So when AndaSeat reached out to test its newer,...
Nintendo Switch 2 is off to a roaring start. Early on Wednesday, Nintendo announced that it had sold 3.5 million units of its new console in just four days, making it Nintendo’s fastest-selling console ever. In fact, this is likely the biggest console launch of all time — by quite some margin. For comparison, PlayStation 5 shipped 4.5 million units in its first seven weeks, PlayStation 4 sold 2.1 million...
I love clutter. Just tons and tons of crap stacked precariously on a shelf—all of it mismatched, sorted into asymmetrical piles, and serving no clear purpose. I like homes that look lived in. Clean, but not sanitized of personality. That's why I dig the hobbit design philosophy (or lack thereof), and have kept my eye on Tales of the Shire since its 2024 reveal. I'm wound way too tight to...
A beefy new update for Civilization 7 is coming soon, featuring "several long-awaited features" including Large and Huge maps, new advanced game options, town specializations, and Steam Workshop support.The full low-down for those who want to dive deep is up on the Civilization website, but here's the crash course version:Large and Huge map sizes, with a note that "bigger maps have bigger hardware demands," so you may notice slower turn...
The developer of Mecha Break, an anime-inspired mech battler which recently had a popular beta on Steam, wants to make sure we feel like we're playing as mech pilots, rather than the mechs themselves. To that end, Amazing Seasun CEO Kris Kwok says that the studio is putting special attention toward building explorable, interactive hangars—with toilets that flush, as all videogame toilets should."The ultimate goal for the hangar is for...
Four days after appearing on stage at Summer Game Fest in a MAGA-style "Make FPS Great Again" hat, Splitgate 2 boss Ian Proulx has posted a video apologizing for his poor judgment, although he still insists that there was no intentional political message behind it.Proulx said during his Summer Game Fest appearance that he was "tired of playing the same Call of Duty every year," a call-out seemingly designed to...
The video where YouTuber Syrobe kills Elden Ring Nightreign's final boss solo with a bell is paused right now, but I can still hear the ringing. I just watched them fling orbs at this Night Aspect guy for eight minutes straight with one of the most annoying items I've ever seen.It works, but at what cost?The Wraith Calling Bell in Nightreign is much stronger than it was in Elden Ring....
