Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate is out today and, while there are a few "emergent issues" on Bungie's radar, so far it seems to be going pretty well, which is nice. Some players were surprised by one seeming change, though: The voice of Ikora Rey, the Warlock Vanguard, seemed a little off. There's a reason for that, as it turns out, and it'll be changed back soon enough anyway.Bungie...
If Straftat ever has no fans, that means PC Gamer is dead. We named the throwback arena shooter the best FPS of 2024, and its lump-faced, cigarette-smoking combatants have only risen in our estimation with every return we've made to its countless brutalist combat dreamscapes. Today, Straftat ascends to an even higher tier of peerlessness, adding 2v2 and free-for-all game modes for all players.And as always, you can play it...

You will need to pay them a decent amount of gold bars to hire them, but if you don’t know where to find them, then none of that will matter! Additionally, you’ll need to...
Helldivers with a flair for the dramatic (or psychotic) got good news yesterday when Arrowhead announced that, "thanks to some groundbreaking military research into pointier flag tips," the CQC-1 One True Flag melee weapon in Helldivers 2 "can now be proudly planted directly into enemies—dead or alive." Arrowhead described the heraldric upgrade as "absolute democracy" and I certainly can't argue with that, but there is one small problem: Players are...
We used to play Mario Kart. It was 2003 and the Nintendo GameCube was a full-fledged member of my high school clique. It was at every social gathering, no matter how big or small. I went as far as to buy a carrying case for mine that was big enough to carry a few controllers and all its cords. It rode in the backseat for countless car rides, strapped in...
Rise up, gooners: Marvel Rivals is getting a beach-themed summer event, and everyone is looking hot. You’ve got expected additions, like a breezy Luna Snow skin that turns the popstar’s soundscape into roving waves. Based on the footage, Snow is clearly the biggest draw here — her skin includes a bespoke soundtrack of lo-fi tunes and small flourishes like fish that swim all around her. 🌴 The Summer Special Event...
Five years after its original release, The Last of Us Part 2 received a free update, adding a mode that presents the game’s non-linear narrative in chronological order. Given the game’s track record of controversy, it wasn’t surprising that the announcement was met with mixed reception. Over the years, The Last of Us Part 2 has been on the receiving end of a wide range of complaints — about how...
