No Man’s Sky has expanded a huge amount beyond its original vision, and last year developers Hello Games introduced a new kind of seasonal update: Expeditions.

Epic Games recently announced that Fornite’s Chapter 3 would come to a close in December and now, with under two weeks to go until its end, the studio has released new details about how to participate in the Fracture finale. Plus, the team has a few more goodies for players to earn in the final

Project Winter is one of the best social deduction games you can play on your PC. You could uncharitably call it the grumpy rules lawer uncle of Among Us, smothering the raw thrill of lies and accusation beneath a blanket of systems and complexities. I had an absolute blast with it a few years ago,

At this point, I’d consider the wacky bugs continually introduced to The Sims 4 as more of a feature than a bug.

Each time we start up a new mainline Pokémon game, we begin our journey with a choice. Sometimes it’s an easy one. Sometimes it’s agonizing. But regardless of where on that spectrum each generation lands for you, the general choice remains the same: grass, water, or fire. Thanks to the rock-paper-scissors nature of the types

Anyone who’s had to physically stop me from banging on about Black Sails will confirm that I love a bit of piracy. Games mostly don’t do it justice at all, either making “piracy” shorthand for “mindless omnicide for no reason” or slapping a parroty theme onto a generic action game. Buccaneers! isn’t primarily a piracy

The Risk Of Rain intellectual property and both Risk Of Rain and Risk Of Rain 2 are now owned by Gearbox. Gearbox were previously the publisher of Risk Of Rain 2 and say they are “eager to prove ourselves as worthy custodians” of the series. They bought the IP from original developers Hopoo Games, who

Mechanical keyboards are brilliant. If you agree, you probably have one on your desk right now – and we have just the deal for you.

Newly announced MMO shooter Project LLL is doing several unusual things. For one, it’s set in a science fiction world in which post-apocalyptic South Korea, the 10th century Byzantine Empire, and a 23rd century future are all somehow colliding.
