Audio player loading… We quite liked Ni No Kuni 2 when we reviewed it back in 2018, calling it “an ambitious, beautiful JRPG that keeps on giving.” Instead of following it up with another big budget console game, developer Level-5 took a different approach, releasing a mobile MMO titled Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds in

If you’re looking for a new kind of aerial challenge to take on, then we have good news: the Microsoft Flight Simulator Top Gun DLC is out now, it’s free, and it’ll casually ask you to land a ludicrously powerful fighter jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier. The Top Gun DLC was announced

Chinese indie studio Xiameng are bringing a Wuxia martial arts RPG to the West with Codename: Wandering Sword, which looks like a pixel art version of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The game’s graphics riff on the ‘HD-2D’ style of RPG that Square Enix introduced with Octopath Traveler. Have a watch of the trailer below.

It’s often not too hard to figure out in cases of obvious policy violations, but sometimes a streamer gets the boot and we’re never told exactly why:

The next Crusader Kings 3 patch is a big one: not only does it update the grand strategy game for the arrival of The Fate of Iberia flavour pack, it also makes some pretty significant changes that will impact players regardless of whether they own the new DLC. One of these changes is the complete

Hogwarts Legacy releases this holiday for multiple platforms, but PlayStation 5 players will experience additional technical magic thanks to the game’s suite of DualSense features. A PlayStation Blog post revealed the different ways Hogwarts Legacy takes advantage of the controller’s haptic feedback. For starters, spells sport individual physical button resistances and feedback to make them feel unique

Joining the scandalously overlooked Blast-Axis and the more recognised Overload in the pantheon of Descentants this week, it’s Zerograve. Is this a genre revival now? Three solid contenders (that I’m aware of) must surely bring us close. It’s fully 3D space-ish combat, this time with colourful stylised levels, somewhere between technicolour neon and oddly minimalist.

Gloomhaven is a dungeon-crawling board game that required a little muscle from the player, as its massive box weighs over 20 pounds. That heft is the conversation starter that helped Gloomhaven find the audience it rightfully deserves. It’s a great board game experience that was recently adapted into an equally as notable turn-based tactical RPG

Now that a new season of The Division 2 is underway, it’s time to double check and make sure all the bolts are tightened down. It turns out that the launch of Season 9 hasn’t come without its share of issues for the MMO game, but Ubisoft Massive has a hotfix planned that should iron

Floppy Knights reviewFloppy Knights, with its caring protagonist and welcoming style, is a really enjoyable tactical card game that offers more the longer you spend with it. It’s a joy to experience.

The Rainbow Six Siege Vector Glare release date is just around the corner, and with it, players can expect a new operator from Belgium, a dedicated team deathmatch map, a shooting range, and plenty of additional quality of life changes coming to the multiplayer game. The new operator is called Sens. He’s an attacker with

Looking for a list of the best dragon games on PC? Since long before the days of Dungeons and Dragons PC games, and before Tolkein became the poster boy of fantasy, dragons have been the most fearsome and majestic creatures of myth. Usually they breath fire and hoard gold, other times they become companions and

Yesterday was World Bee Day, a fact I know because I had to send my son to school in a yellow outfit by way of celebration. Another way to celebrate yesterday was, apparently, to release a videogame. Apico, a beepkeeping sim about adventuring across a 2D world to collect, breed and conserve bees, is out

Audio player loading… Are you, like me, still lost in Steam Deck pre order purgatory? Is “after Q3 2022” an infinite void swallowing up the future, with the promise of PC gaming on the go seemingly never to arrive?

Mergers, acquisitions, and consolidation are all the rage with major conglomerates these days. Microsoft is in the process of acquiring Activision Blizzard, Discovery and Time Warner have recently finished merging into one mega-media empire, and Sony is bringing Destiny developer Bungie into the PlayStation family. What we didn’t know about is a now-failed bid for NBC

Audio player loading… In 2019, the Federal Trade Commission issued a friendly, easy-to-understand digital booklet called Disclosures 101 for Social Media Influencers, designed to help streamers and influencers understand when and how to disclose their promotional relationships with companies. Now it looks like the FTC is preparing to draw a harder line against “stealth advertising”

I quite like organising objects in games, up until I bump into someone else’s incorrect organisation system. I cannot believe the state of some people’s Minecraft and Stardew Valley chests. Today I’m experiencing that distress while playing the demo for A Little To The Left, a puzzle game about organising someone’s household items while a

The May update for Amazon Games and Smilegate’s multiplayer online action RPG Lost Ark introduces a new class this week that really enjoys smashing things up: the Destroyer. The ‘Destined For Destruction’ update also brings a brand-new Guardian Raid, Deskaluda, which looks like a dragon made out of Victorian iron fencing and ooze-green Dulux. Axe-wielding

That may not sound like a huge deal, but in this

Skating derby free-to-play Roller Champions enters its ‘kickoff’ season on May 25th, Ubisoft have revealed in a new trailer for the game. Set in 2032, Roller Champions sees two teams of three battle it out in the world of competitive roller-skating. No, I didn’t realise that was a thing either. Check out the trailer below:

Beloved RPG maker Vanillaware took a chance with Dragon’s Crown in 2013, and it paid off. The studio applied its role-playing expertise, storytelling chops, and famous art direction to a cooperative hack ‘n slash adventure that, frankly, was a blast. The game has since become a cult classic that has left fans pining for a

Hide-and-seek horror game Midnight Ghost Hunt arrived in Steam Early Access in March, and now it’s about to get its first major update.

Audio player loading… There’s really nothing quite like an adventure by Amanita Design, makers of memorable and beloved games like Samorost and Machinarium. So I’m sure I’m not the only one thrilled to see the Czech indie collective has just announced a new game. It’s called Phonopolis, and the “hand-crafted adventure” will be the studio’s
