Star Wars Outlaws had a bumpy takeoff when it launched last summer, and its “meh” reception has stuck with it since. Because of that reception, forums like its subreddit are constantly flooded with prospective scoundrels asking, “Is the game worth it?” Lemme tell ya, if you’ve ever wanted to channel your inner Han Solo and explore the underbelly of Star Wars, it’s most certainly “worth it.” One of the main...
[Warning: This piece includes spoilers for Clair Obscur’s late-game Act 2 reveals.] I love a serious story as much as the next person, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is incredibly serious. It starts with hundreds, likely thousands, erased from existence before an expedition of a couple dozen go off to fight the Paintress, the deity-like being responsible for said erasure of Lumière’s citizens. Most of those expeditioners shockingly die rather...
If you thought your gaming monitor was fast, well, it might be. But as fast, as clever, and as luscious to look at as the newly-announced MSI MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50? I doubt it.

In YouTuber SlimX's accounting of Baldur's Gate 3's behind-the-scenes secrets, he hit me with one that sent my jaw through the floor: You can summon a magical sheep who can cast endgame spells by killing a minor NPC and ringing both of Act 3's bell tower bells.You may have encountered Harvard Willoughby in normal play: This monocole-wearing, mustachioed comedian will challenge you to a duel of wits at the Elfsong...
Elden Ring Nightreign may look familiar in many ways, but FromSoftware’s stand-alone multiplayer spinoff of Elden Ring will play differently thanks to its battle-royale-inspired map and a roster of playable characters. Unlike the blank-slate, highly customizable characters of the original Elden Ring, the playable heroes of Nightreign — known as Nightfarers — are predefined characters with class roles — think rogues, sorcerers, barbarians, archers, and mages. There will be eight confirmed Nightfarers in...
