If you know how to beat Maris, Fathom of Night, the Augur expedition is remarkably easy—a bit of a boring slog, actually. But if you bring in the wrong team or don't know how to stop its wipe mechanic, then it'll be one of the toughest in Elden Ring Nightreign.You have to beat a total of four Nightreign bosses before you can unlock the hidden final boss, so I'd recommend...
All hail the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which in recent years has been used by the bloc to force various tech giants into being a little more considerate of consumers.

I concur with PC Gamer's Mollie Taylor, my fellow Final Fantasy 14 enjoyer on our illustrious staff, that FF14's Occult Crescent patch has made the game feel like an MMO again.

Most of my time playing Elden Ring Nightreign has involved scrambling to piece together a good build out of the garbage the game gives me—I don't have good luck in roguelikes, you see. If I need a four in Balatro, I won't get one. But last night, cackling with glee as my starting sword gave my foes nearly every possible disease, I had finally beaten the game of fate: The...
The golden age of animation reveled in absurdity. In the heyday of the Looney Tunes, Daffy Duck might get squashed and stretched, flattened like a pancake, and careen off a cliff all in the span of a minute. It’s an energy that’s surprisingly hard to come by in modern video games. Unless you’re loading up Earthworm Jim on a Sega Genesis Mini or dialing the nostalgia way back with Cuphead, the...

All the preparation you go through during the first two days of a match in Elden Ring Nightreign — from farming runes to looking for ways to upgrade your weapons — is in service of one goal: getting strong enough to beat the Nightlord of your...
