In August, game director Chris Roberts said that Star Citizen's singleplayer component, Squadron 42, was being delayed out of 2026 to avoid clashing with Grand Theft Auto 6. There was a certain amount of skepticism about the reason for the delay, thanks in part to a recent Star Citizen livestream being declared a disaster, but also because, well. These games have had so many release dates the changes have their...
Deadlock surpasses Team Fortress 2's all-time concurrent player count peak as it adds a chess wizard
Valve's latest MOBA might still technically be conducting an invite-only test, but it's nevertheless one of the most popular games of its ilk. Yesterday, right as the game added the latest in its current batch of six new democratically released heroes, its concurrent player-count hit a new screaming high: 262,145 simultaneous players, according to SteamDB.While that's pretty impressive on its face, it'll be especially noteworthy to long-time fans of Valve's...
The popular user-added tags for Nivalis Nights on Steam are: Cyberpunk, simulation, life sim, management, and relaxing. It is definitely a cyberpunk shop/life sim, but relaxing? This one was on the wishlists of a lot of cozy gaming fans, including me. After playing it though, I'm not sure it's the kind of cozy most people would expect. Here's what lead writer Thomas Welsh had to say:The volume of quests and...

Here's a truth no one but I am willing to admit: Mafia 3 was good, actually. Please disregard PC Gamer's 54% Mafia 3 review. I don't know what happened there. Possibly Andy Kelly put the wrong game disc in by mistake. I understand they were still using game discs in 2016, alongside gramophones, the telegram, wax cylinders and what have you.It's now 10 years old, which is deeply troubling, but...
I introduced Overcooked to two of my friends one day back in 2016. One day being the key phrase here. The Overcooked games are on our list of the best co-op games, but the series has a reputation for ruining relationships—in China it's apparently known as "The Divorce Kitchen". I don't recall actually fighting with my friends, but the tension was thick enough that we quickly went back to playing...

2018's Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry was a genuinely pleasant surprise, in that it's actually good—quite a contrast to the preceding games in the series, Magna Cum Laude and Box Office Bust, which were decidedly not good. A sequel followed, Wet Dreams Dry Twice, and once again it was pretty good stuff—not hugely innovative or high art, but a genuine Leisure Suit Larry experience that manages to avoid...

Nivalis Nights is mostly a story-heavy shop simulation but it does also have a sprinkle of relationship building. Conversations with characters can affect four different attitudes towards you: friendly, combative, romantic, and savvy. Dialogue options aren't clearly marked though, so you don't always know if you're about to piss someone off or say something they'll perceive as flirtatious.Spoiler: Lois doesn't seem to take this as an invitation.
