Even though the “Save the Painter Neal!!!” mission was present in the original game, the steps to complete it...
Donkey Kong Bananza may not look like a particularly demanding game, especially compared to visually impressive contemporaries like Death Stranding 2. But the Switch 2 exclusive makes ample use of voxel environments that Donkey Kong can destroy while the player charts a path forward with Pauline in tow — think The Finals or Just Cause 2 by way of Super Mario Odyssey. No wonder, then, that Nintendo held off on...
It’s been clear since James Holden first stepped foot on the Rocinante: The Expanse would make for an incredible game. While the popular sci-fi series has previously been imagined as a game (a Telltale narrative, a tabletop RPG), developer Owlcat Games’ forthcoming The Expanse: Osiris Reborn seems like it’ll take it to a whole new level. Planned for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X sometime in the near-ish...
I’ve logged an unholy number of hours into NetEase’s hero-based shooter, Marvel Rivals, and to its credit, this time sink has largely been fueled by the strength of the gameplay. I’ve bought a couple of skins and unlocked a few things here and there, but for the most part, cosmetics for the characters I play — and by extension, the battle passes that have been available so far — have...

Sometimes a game can transport you back to an exact moment in time. When I think back to Islanders, I blink back to January 2020. It was a cold New York winter, and I was bundled up in my apartment for a particularly bitter weekend. I was feeling a bit of cabin fever, but I didn’t dare brave the frost. I needed a warm escape, and I found it in...

We live in some strange times, that's for sure. I can't recall the last time that it was like this, even if it ever was, but in the Prime Day sales, all bar one of the current generation of graphics cards can be found at under their MSRP. Across the pond, our US chums have it almost entirely the other way around.👉Shop all the Prime Day deals on Amazon👈While not...
It might not surprise you to discover that there's been precious little new Silksong information, other than some further SteamDB tweaks. It certainly won't surprise you, at this point, to learn that the game's community of rabid, irony-infested fans—and I mean that as a compliment—are not taking it well.Last week, the game's subreddit sacrificed three members to seal them away in a dream—members who had, until they were skongrificed (is...
