In our Outer Worlds review back in 2019, we called Obsidian's sci-fi satire "a quirky romp across a solar system ruled by brutal corporations," but the zany ribbing about the excesses of corporate misconduct didn't land for everyone living in the world where the delivery drivers of major companies are pressured to pee in bottles to be able to make their quotas. In The Outer Worlds 2, Obsidian says that—while...
Glorious' new entry-level lightweight gaming mouse is out. At least the Glorious Model O Eternal is out literally everywhere across the world except the US. And the reason? "Ongoing global supply chain issues," apparently.Quite how a "global" supply chain issue prevents release in just one country isn't clear. Perhaps the real reason would more accurately be adjacent to tariff uncertainty and the Texas-based Glorious doesn't want to court the wrath...
Invincible VS, a new 3v3 tag-based fighting game based on Robert Kirkman’s Invincible comics and animated series, is being developed with you in mind. Whether you’re a serious player of fighting games or just someone who digs Invincible, developer Quarter Up wants to give you something you’ll love, says executive producer Mike Willette. “First and foremost, [we’re] building a tournament-quality, brutal superhuman fighting game with a tag component in it,”...
The first Outer Worlds has a very tight scope. The 2019 Obsidian Entertainment RPG, according to our review at the time, is “expansive when it needs to be, but never falls into the trap of believing that bigger is always better.” You could beat the game in 15 hours if you wanted — unlike, say, Obsidian’s Fallout: New Vegas. But that also meant Outer Worlds’ anti-capitalist satire could only go...

So, busy week in the world of video games, huh? The Nintendo Switch 2 has finally launched and landed in the hands of gamers around the world, eight years after the first Switch revolutionized gaming. The Switch 2 isn’t quite as revolutionary, with Nintendo opting to make an upgrade of its predecessor rather than completely overhaul what might end up being the best-selling console ever. Still, that isn’t stopping plenty...

The Splatoon franchise is headed to Switch 2 with a new game called Splatoon Raiders, Nintendo announced Tuesday. Described as “the first-ever Splatoon spinoff game,” Splatoon Raiders will cast players as a mechanic who explores the mysterious Spirhalite Islands alongside Splatoon 3’s Deep Cut trio: Frye, Shiver, and Big Man. A short trailer for Splatoon Raiders shows the Deep Cut gang on an exploratory mission, and the helicopter they’re traveling...
Lost in Random: The Eternal Die stuck its hooks in me after just a few rooms. Dashing between enemy projectile attacks and then slicing those enemies up, I quickly got into a rhythm with the roguelike’s combat, which reminded me of Hades in all the best ways. It also has enough fresh gameplay ideas to set it apart as a unique and invigorating addition to a crowded genre. The Eternal...
