So long, pink checkerboards that represent missing textures! Adiós, pitch-black skies that signify an absent skybox! Don't let the door hit you on the way out, enormous 3D model that says ERROR where a car should be!Those have been common sights for users of Garry's Mod for, oh, let's see… 20 years or so? And one of the biggest culprits for those missing textures and models is that players didn't...
The Tempest Layer is the ninth layer you’ll visit in Donkey Kong Bananza, and like all the others, it’s full of Banandium Gems. You’ll need to make use of the Elephant Bananza you get on this layer to grab a ton of them, which are locked behind the new mechanic of gulping down dangerous terrain types. The Tempest Layer is inhabited by elephant people who are going through some extreme...
Supergiant pushed another final Hades 2 patch ahead of the roguelike’s eventual 1.0 launch — yes, another final update, after the previous final update on July 2. I was ready to crack a joke at this latest patch, comparing Supergiant to certain musical artists who perform a dozen farewell tours before turning up in Las Vegas for another decade of shows. Then I realized this decision is indicative of something...
Sometimes the world delivers you a bit of proof that you've done a good job cultivating your online environment. For me, that proof was seeing RPG Site post on Bluesky about Ironwing Valiant: Record of Astera—a Valkyria Chronicles-inspired mecha action game from indie studio Tiger Team—and watching as a bunch of sickos near-instantly flooded my timeline with a unified, resounding "hell yeah."Looking at Ironwing Valiant's Steam page, it's not hard...
The burgeoning “friendslop” genre isn’t prepared for its scariest — and most personal — entry yet. Eyes of Hellfire is an upcoming co-op horror game in which 3-5 players must collectively survive in a house of horrors while working to deduce who they can and cannot trust, and the developers at its Dublin-based studio, Gambrinous, want you to play it with your real-life friends. The game (which is published by...
Our Flag Means Death creator David Jenkins has been tapped to write the pilot for HBO Max’s upcoming Booster Gold TV series as part of James Gunn’s new DCU. If the pilot proves successful, Jenkins is set to serve as the showrunner of the superhero series, Deadline reported Wednesday. Jenkins issued a public statement about the new gig on his Instagram on Wednesday, saying, “It’s true y’all! I’m writing a...
It’s been a winding road for the quasi follow-up to indie RPG darling Undertale. Deltarune’s episodic release has left fans waiting for a long time between installments, with Chapter 1 hitting in 2018, Chapter 2 releasing in 2021, and Chapters 3 and 4 available in 2025. The fifth part is still in development for 2026. On Switch 2, you can purchase a version of Deltarune that includes the first four...
Even if you didn’t know that Donkey Kong Bananza was made by the studio behind Super Mario Odyssey, it wouldn’t take very long to figure it out. Nintendo’s latest 3D platformer shares clear DNA with the Switch classic, even if it trades elegant jumps for chaotic smashing. It’s the exact same brand of collect-a-thon, with hundreds of shiny Banandium Gems to collect across well over a dozen diverse biomes. Though...
I lean into every turn. I throw my whole body forward to pick up speed. I scurry out of the way to avoid other cyclists. But I’m not out racing on a real bike, because New York City summers are disgusting and to step outside is to be instantly damp. Instead, I’m playing Wheel World. Messhof’s new bike-themed adventure game (formerly known as Ghost Bike) isn’t some sprawling open-world game....
Microsoft’s business strategy of moving past the limitations of proprietary platforms seems to be bearing fruit this year, based on sales numbers trickling in for the first half of 2025. So far, it seems that the most successful game on the PS5 is none other than Forza Horizon 5, a former Xbox exclusive racing game that originally came out four years ago. According to figures shared by the Alinea Insight...
