What makes a Remnant game so special is the way it slowly reveals itself to you over time. When you first start playing, you’ll be impressed by the tight, demanding gunplay, the world-building, and the art direction. It seems like a polished co-op shooter with interesting worlds to explore and some high-pressure boss fights to learn and overcome. Eventually you’ll stumble onto a secret completely by accident and suddenly, you’ll realize the game is so much bigger than you thought....

I’m convinced that I’ve forgotten about more games than I’ve actually played this year. It freaks my bean thinking about the fact that Fire Emblem Engage, Dead Space, and Hi-Fi Rush all came out this year. 2023 was so jam-packed with high-profile games that a bunch of games decided to move their release date to February 2024 just to get out of the way, and now February is overcrowded. It was inevitable that some things would fall through the cracks in a year like this, but I never expected that Sony’s PlayStation VR2, which launched with nearly 40 games this past February, would be one of them....

We all knew thatStarfieldwould have a packedNexus Modspage in its first week of release, but the dedication of the playerbase is still awe-inspiring. We’re only on day three of its early access period and there are already 334 mods uploaded to Nexus at the time of writing. 124 of which were shared today. So, it’s no surprise that some of them already centre around the main man himself, the one and only:Todd Howard....

While playing through the Coney Island set piece inSpider-Man 2, something hit me: this fight was being staged in a tangible place, not a featureless gray wasteland. What a novel idea. Blockbuster movies have largely moved away from setting their climactic battles in real places where regular people are at risk from plasma blasts and collapsing buildings. This year, The Flash andTransformers: Rise of the Beastsboth set their big final showdowns in detail-free apocalyptic landscapes....

Summary Hide, attack, repeat. Rogues have always been quite the experience in D&D, and it’s no different inBaldur’s Gate 3.In fact, as you control the whole team, you can use your Rogue —or Astarion— to stealthily move through the map and cheese many encounters you’ll face, giving a gameplay experience other classes can’t offer to the same degree. All that said, you can make your deadly shadow of a character even deadlier by giving them feats....

The highly anticipated Pokemon TCG Classic set went on sale today on the Pokemon Center website, but you probably didn’t hear about it until it was sold out. After advertising the upcoming special collection earlier this year, which includes three decks made up of reprints of base set Pokemon cards in a fancy collector’s case, the Pokemon Center and several other online retailers shadow dropped pre-orders on Thursday morning without a word of warning to anyone....

Quick Links With the successBaldur’s Gate 3has had, it’s understandable that you might want to know what happened in the original game. But having launched in 1998, it’s nowhere similar to its 2023 sequel. Still, the story ofBaldur’s Gateholds up, and many parts are referenced in the third entry. The plot of the game is in many ways similar; political machinations, godly disputes and epic journeys. But for the many similarities it has, it’s also its own story, with an emphasis on friction between nations and no mention of Mind Flayers....

In the past I’ve always associatedTurtle Beachwith budget gaming peripherals. You’d hear its name countless times in secondary school as the cool kids were on the hunt for headsets that were perfect for playingCall of Dutyor FIFA, but which wouldn’t burn through their allowance. Stealth Pro Wireless stands in defiance of that long held reputation with its lofty asking price and a number of excellent features that rival more expensive brands....

The Xbox-Activision-Blizzard mergeris already one of the most historic moments in video game history. It feels like quite a bit more than a ‘moment’ when we’re living in the midst of drawn out court cases and appeals, but whatever way the final chips fall on this deal, they will forever shape our industry. It will either open the doors for companies to swell larger and larger, devouring independent pools of talent and creativity in their path, or will set limits with precedent on how big a gaming corporation can be....
