James Davenport makes it sound like SCP if it was a videogame in his review, and also says it makes playing with destruction physics and telekinesis as fun as the gravity gun in Half-Life 2. Steven Messner has gone back to WoW Classic, joining the server queue so he can join the quest queues. Christopher Livingston has been playing Vane, which at first looks like another indie bird game in the manner of Fugl or Feather.

After The Witcher games let us see Geralt in third-person, whether riding horses or relaxing in the tub, many were surprised by Cyberpunk 2077’s first-person perspective. Early footage showed cutscenes in third-person though, with personalized versions of V in various cool jackets. That’s apparently changed, however. “In Cyberpunk 2077, immersion is very important to us,” came the reply, “so yes, cutscenes are fpp”. “And what about sex scenes?”

Monster Hunter: World is a pretty big game, and getting all the way to Hunter Rank 16—which is where you’ll need to be to start Iceborne, when it comes out—can take a hefty chunk of time. But Capcom says players who haven’t finished World yet won’t have to worry or hang back when Iceborne arrives, as there are incentives in place to encourage teamwork between higher and lower level hunters. Monster Hunter: World was the first experience many players had with the franchise—enough to make the game

Doom 4 Vanilla, released yesterday, is an impressive ‘demake’ mod for Doom 2 that boils down everything it can from Id Software’s series reboot while adhering to the limits of Doom circa 1993. Doom 4 Vanilla uses none those modern fripperies. Pushing the original Doom engine to its limits. Being a pointedly old-school mod, there’s some assembly required to play Doom 4 Vanilla, but Noiser has done most of the heavy lifting for you. While the currently available version uses the pointedly old-scho

His signature weapons are a plasma-rocket rifle and a pair of homing missile pistols that reload faster when he’s sprinting. But if all that running around is just too much, you can sit down and play some music. There’s also a new fashion-sharing system, a new skin for Harrow, and some new Infested dojo decorations. You can see the the full list of what the update adds here. Warframe is free-to-play, and you can grab it via Steam or its official page here.

Subverse, the game that raised £1,668,626 on Kickstarter for its promise of a kinky combo of Mass Effect, XCOM, and rather a lot of sex scenes, will no longer have an Early Access release. In the latest Kickstarter update, Studio FOW explain the decision by pointing out narrative games don’t often do well in Early Access, they already have 4,500 potential testers for their closed beta (which will be going ahead unchanged), and they don’t believe that releasing it unfinished, chapter-by-chapter,

A YouTube legend named TheMostUpset has been diligently redubbing famous scenes from movies like Back to the Future, The Terminator, and The Shining—as well as the recent TV series Chernobyl—with sounds and voices from Half-Life. I’ll let you see for yourself in the videos embedded here. Hearing Arnie shoot up a police station accompanied by a bunch of 1998 videogame gunshot noises is weirdly nostalgic, and yet it’s still a potent and effective bit of film-making. Movies, man. Check out some mor

Borderlands 2 has already come to VR via the PlayStation 4, but an ESRB rating from earlier this year suggested we’d eventually be able to play the VR version on PC as well. Now it’s been confirmed courtesy of the trailer above, and will be here in fall 2019. The PS4 version’s getting a free update adding the DLC, which will hopefully also be true of the PC version. This version of Borderlands 2 will apparently come with “new skills to virtually pay the bills” including a slow-motion ability cal

With just a few weeks until its September 24th release, Konami Digital Entertainment has lifted the lid on Contra: Rogue Corps. Give it a look and see how you feel it stacks up against the Contra games of ages past. So far Contra: Rogue Corps reminds me of the rightfully maligned Contra: Legacy Of War, arguably the nadir of the series. I really do hope that my scepticism is misplaced, and that Contra: Rogue Corps turns out to be a great co-op game. Contra: Rogue Corps hits Steam this September 2

Fortunately, developer Triternion agrees, as a major patch this Friday added an official one-on-one duelling mode to the game. Rather than do things by halves, the duelling system has a persistent Elo ranking system (a competitive ranking system originally used for chess, and now commonly used by many esports games) meaning that players can compete to become the world’s greatest stab-doer. The ranking system is technically only in beta still, but once they’ve hammered any last kinks they plan on

Spiders’ newest RPG Greedfall releases on September 10, and I for one am pretty exciting about it. The video above shows the most substantial chunk of gameplay footage we’ve seen yet, and I’ve got my fingers crossed that Spiders nails it with this one. As you’ll see, the combat borrows equally from The Witcher 3 and Dragon Age: Inquisition. But in a lot of cases, you’ll be able to stealth your way out of encounters, which is welcome news for this sook. The game world isn’t a single open world sp

The first season of Tales from the Borderlands developed a cult following for its sense of humor and cool credits sequences, even among those who didn’t love the Borderlands shooters. “I would love to pickup where Tales from the Borderlands Season 1 left off,” Winkler said to ComicBook.com. “There’s so many unsolved threads there, and even though we brought some characters into Borderlands 3, there’s still a lot of question marks.” While Tales from the Borderlands did tell a complete story, its

“The stages look incredible”, we wrote in our Dirt Rally review back in 2015. Ice patches shimmer as you hammer past snow-laden trees, picking out the road through fog. Mud flings into the air as you tumble a Lancia Delta down a cliff towards a pond. Watching replays are a joy and irresistible if you’ve had a decent run, made all the better by respectable engine noise and chattering pace notes.” Until September 1 at 10am Pacific Time, or until supplies last, you can get a free Steam key for Dirt

The Yakuza games are ever so slowly making their way to PC, with Sega stating in June that it now considers the series to be a multi-platform one. So it’s worth getting a bit excited about Yakuza 7, which was unveiled during a Sega press conference on Thursday. It’s exciting for three reasons: 1) it’s a new Yakuza game, 2) it’ll be the first mainline game without Kazuma Kiryu as protagonist, and 3) it’ll have turn-based combat. As was hinted at last month, Yakuza Online protagonist Ichiban Kasug

The Fortnite Blockbuster challenges are the latest set of weekly missions to arrive in the seminal battle royale game. As we’ve come to expect from season X, we have our normal set of challenges to get us started, and then some Prestige quests when those are all done. They see us hunting down some secret items in villainous lairs and superhero hangouts, and we’re here to help you get the rewards you’re looking for. You’re going to want to get as many unlockable goodies before Fortnite season 11.

“Hey, can anyone tell me how to find Mankrik’s wife in WoW?” It’s been a running joke among Horde-faction players ever since they first hit The Barrens. That’s because Blizzard made that quest objective nearly impossible to find, as new World of Warcraft Classic players will be discovering. The tiny arrow near the centre is where Mankrik’s wife can be found. (Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment)There are ten different kinds of Bristleback monsters in World of Warcraft. Mankrik’s wife (called Na

World of Warcraft Classic is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As someone who has been playing World of Warcraft for most of my life (shudder) I’ve crafted a bucket list for anyone new. Today, in an era of phasing and centralized PvP, that brand of world war doesn’t really exist on the live servers. Do a Dire Maul Tribute Run(Image credit: Blizzard)Dire Maul was one of the first major dungeons Blizzard implemented in World of Warcraft after release. But it is also emblematic of a World of Warcra

This is Vane, an atmospheric and surreal adventure where sometimes you play as a bird, and sometimes as a kid. There’s very little guidance in Vane—just finding an environmental puzzle and figuring out what, exactly, makes it a puzzle, is just as much a puzzle as the puzzle itself. Vane presents the kind of world I’d love to explore more between the environmental puzzles needed to progress. The last thing you should be thinking about in Vane is the controls. Luckily, Vane mostly makes up for it
